Their ignorance of how the media works in the 21st century was their undoing. The great part is, they don't seem to have any interest in learning from past mistakes, so enjoy the meltdown kids, we've earned it!

My best friend, a Jew, was incinerated while working for Cantor that morning, as were my next-door neighbor and hundreds of other Jewish people. There simply aren't enough obscenities in the English language to respond adequately to someone like you. Shame on your parents for perpetuating an obviously defective gene pool. Jackass Says:

A normal working day at the WTC yet Jews stayed home why? Bin Laden said he didn't know about the attack but was proud why? Saudi's quickly flew home without anyone being question even knowing that most of the attackers were Saudis why? All these and more will be answered. As we now know the Bush Administration is currently funding terrorist to keep conflict going. Did the Bush Administration fund the current terrorist group who bombed India. Even a Law Maker has been charged with funding terrorist group but the Govenment is hiding his case and the information. Congressman Jefferson was caught with money in the freezer to keep his mouth shut about the money given to the African terrorist group. Even Speaker Dennis Hastert quickly steppped in to protect Jefferson who didn't know he was being used by the GOP. Americans will wake up to the honest truth the Bush Administration has been funding new groups of terrorist and using taxpayers money to do it. For 8 years the United States has been the greates Axis of Evil under the Bush Administration. Smart move on their part all they had to do was tell Americans God wanted Bush to be President and everyone just fell in line. Let the investigations begin.
