The basic argument she was making was that these victims have used their victimhood to provide an unassailable political position for the left completely out of proportion to the larger picture. Thousands of people lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, but groups like movon.org have latched on to the small handful that are willing to use their tradgedy as a political rallying point.
If you even had an ounce of integrity you would not say that.
Bush and the neocons have used 9/11 as a "political rallying point". That's all they have done ever since it happened. Not only that, but they actually used it ot make money for their friends. They play the 9/11 card at every possible opportunity, especialy when its election time. And did they lose any loved ones in there? Nope.
And even if then, what these people have done is voiced their opinion about what America should do now politically to avoid something like that to happen again. Should they jsut have shut the **** up cos some lazy dumb-*** ***** might latch onto them, just like you, becasue they dont share your political views.
You (and her) never miss an opportunity to spit at other people simply because they dont share your political opinions, under a smirking cloak of self-righteousness. Sickening.

The fact that she's getting so much heat in response to criticising these women proves the point she was trying to make.
No, it proves she is a ******* idiot, and everyone more or less agrees on that, apart from you, and other heartless hardcore neo-cons who cant stand people that disagree with them.

That we give them more "voice" because they are victims, and that anyone opposing their voice is labeled as cruel and heartless, thus making it virtually impossible to debate the actual issue itself.
No, people oppose their views all teh time, and no one labels them anything. They are called political opponents, and most sane people have no problem with that. The cruel and heartless ones are the hypocrits like you adn her that label them as opportunist simply because they voice a different opinion to the one you hold. Funny hof Ann doesnt label pro-war widows in teh same way, eventhough its exactly the same.
The onyl thing that makes it impossible to debate the issue is that youa re labelled "anti-patriotic" as soon as you voice an opinion contrary to the neo-con one, and get mud thrown at you: And this is what this whole topic is about.
You're just blinded by your ignorance and your sickening self-righteousness. I don't believe in God, but I sure hope there's a heaven and a hell.
