Remember September 11th 2001? The day the world looked in horror as thousands of innocent people were killed, the day that lead the French to declare 'we are all American', that lead to a National day of morning in countries across the world? No?
Worry not, the Campus Republicans are here to remind you! Most commemorative ceremonies have a touch of class and dignity to them. A flag at half mast, a single trumpeter and a minutes silent.
But 'class' and 'dignity' clearly aren't in the Republican gameplan. I mean, these are the people that attacked a war veteran who lost three limbs in defence of his country. Tastefully dressed in "Coulter '08" t-shirts, they decorated the park outside the library with tiny American flags [pictured above]. Just American flags of course, because the victims from the 36 other countries can organise their own fucking ceremony!
Missing a few flags is a minor issue. If the campus Republicans don't remember the one Irish citizen, or the 3 Brazilians, I'm sure someone else will. Its the posters they had beside the ceremony the had me stunned. They used this wonderfully planned ceremony to advertise their first meeting of the year, with, wait for it, a FREE CHIK-FIL-A dinner! When it comes to the tough world of student politics, one must use the deaths of whoever they can use to get a few more members.
A showing of "World Trade Centre" and free chicken? I'm sure when the towers collapsed the people inside would have thought this a fitting tribute of their life. Certainly they were all Republicans and would have loved to see their memory being used to try and scare a few more people to vote for their party [and for chicken, or course]. Don't you remember those last desperate voice messages left on their loved ones phones? I'm pretty certain they were along the lines of 'I love you, and the kids, but I hate that bitch Hillary- don't let her be President. PS Please invade Iraq.'
I won't make my posts this political again, but couldn't let this go by. Freaks.
