CNN

It's amazing how she doesn't have a speck of dust on her black suit. She walked around ground zero as a photo op. Do Not Trust This Woman!

To: Vanreuter, NY

Hillary is not Howard Dean because:

a) She has a much better campaign machine thah Dean

b) She has raised much mnore money

c) She has much more support from the dem party and voters

d) She has the best campaign stratregist and advisor ever – Bill C

e) Most woman voters and at least half of black have indicate to vote for her.

MRS E STARTON..You are 100% correct. Michael Moore's 911 was fantastic. I would advise anyone who wants the real truth to watch it. Newsclips don't lie.

Thanks, I really feel I know you now and understand where "you are coming from". .

Hillary Clinton is toast! She assumes she will be nominate and Guiliani her opponent. The fatal flaw in her approach is her "assumption". Just ask Howard Dean about assuming a victory!

Ron Paul-

I am guessing any article that provides information contrary to your opinions is not worth reading. And I am sure you didn't read the article or else you would be harping on the negatives about Giuliani. There are quite a few.

I am also sure that Time magazine talked to more people before writing the article than you ever have.

I would enjoy seeing a satirical play on this farce of an ad – Hillary standing before the group of firefighters honoring their fallen brethren... and Hillary is being booed.

FACT is more entertaining than fiction with Mrs Clinton.

Wow Chris of Middletown, CT, you sound like quite the "centrist" here with regard to unions, LOL, while in other discussions you've been a shill for Rudy Guiliani pushing him as a "centrist".

Anything negative unions have done pales in comparison to what Republicans have done in the past decade to ruin our country at home and abroad.

It's no contest.

And they should be held accountable, in full, which disqualifies pretend "centrists" like Guiliani who have been supporters and apologists for the disasterous administration we have had.

Marc Gendron
Wow...so Giuliani didn't get along with the firefighters....the police or the teachers?? (wait....you are talking about the unions...not the actual teachers...firefighters..and police) – unions have taken advantage of us – their time has come and gone....you misrepresenting the facts is helping nobody – who ensures that no reforms are put into our nations failing public schools...yep....the teachers unions (read the Worm in the Apple) – who ensures that police guilty of butuality are kept on the job paid....yep...the police union...who ensures that paid firefighters are given all benefits even after they retire (even though it bankrupts the cities they work in...and nobody I know of is drafted to be a fireman) – yep....its the firemans union....the abuses of the unions is staggering...they need to be eliminated before we can compete in a global economy....and we need to stop the only party pandering to them (you know who you are)

JB Boston of MA,

I know you probably won't read this comment since it is an "old" story already but I have to leave this comment in here for the record.

How typical of a modern day republican to trust what Time magazine says over what the actual workers of our country say and care about. That is exactly what's wrong with the Republican party of today under the guidance of the Bush regime. That is why we need Ron Paul to lead it back to the glory days and make sure guys like you and Rudy do not make a mockery out of this party.

To Mike from Dallas,

$9.11 fund raiser for Guliani? Who's exploiting this tragic day? I don't think it's the Democrats.

MRS E STARTON..You are 100% correct. Michael Moore's 911 was fantastic. I would advise anyone who wants the real truth to watch it. Newsclips don't lie.

GREAT JOB HILLARY!!! KEEP IT UP, VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!

9/11 is the only reason Bush was able to steal the president election.

EVERYONE involved with 9/11 is allowed to share their experience; this is America the land of the FREE! It happened to the ENTIRE US. It should NEVER be ignored because the republicans used it in every way they could last election and the republicans hid behind this dishonest current admin and let him fool America into chasing the wrong guy wasting billions of money and single handedly causing a bogus war that continues to kill many Americans each month. Bush protected the Osama family the morning of 9/11, why you ask? Watch Michaels Moore’s 9/11, you'll understand bush was defending daddy going after Hussein, yes, even at the expense of our great country.

ALL current republicans need to be replaced!

CLINTON AND FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN IMMEDAITELY HELP US BEGIN TO REPAIR THE MESS THE REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY...

As for Bush/Chaney….”IMPEACH, IMPEACH IMPEACH”!!!!

GO HILLARY!

CLINTON WILL BE PRESIDENT!

As a Democrat I am voting for Hillary. Voting for Obama will only take votes away from Hillary. That's what the Republicans want. To divide our party. Republicans are wolves in sheep clothing. They don't care about anyone but themselves. The Democrats want to help everyone. They are the kind andgentle party. Think about that.

What did she do? This is ridiculous!

America, don't choose this lady please! Please! Be very careful!!!!!

"I don't know how Hillary can live with herself. To use 9/11 victims and the workers whose blood, sweat and tears helped this country on to recovery is an abomination. She fails to address the guilty party in all this and continues to oppose those efforts of retaliation. She should be ashamed."

Posted By Lyndal, Lowell, Arkansas : October 6, 2007 10:22 am

You mean retaliation against Saddam??? No wonder you voted for Bushco the last 2 times and this country is in a world of crap.

Neither Hillary, nor Rudy, nor Bush did anything of great value on 9-11 that anyone else wouldn't have done (in Bush's case, it was less).

Rudy has been cravenly milking 9-11 in the most nauseating manner for years and it's the ONLY reason any fool that supposrts him thinks he is "qualified". If he didn't milk it, he'd just be a another ex-mayor, never again to win another office in New York state.

No one should "use" 9-11, no one. Even if Rudy milked it for years and Bush used it to fool and scare people into Iraq (a place he wanted to invade before 9-11 but was hunting for an excuse), HRC shouldn't touch it.

Let the shameless republican pukes keep milking it and lets start exposing them for wrapping themselves in it, like prior scum wrapped themselves in the flag while only promoting themselves.

Hillary was NOT there for a loooong time.
Actually, she was "invisible" (her word) for New Yorkers, right after 9/11.
Even now, if you ask New Yorkers many of them will not be sure if she was NY Senator at that time because she was "invisible".

It is truly amazing
that none of you see what is really going on. This blindness of our
populous is really the problem with America. You actually believe
that one of these candidates is different from another and that the
two parties stand for different principles. Don't you see that the
same people have been in power for decades and the changing of
control in congress from one party to another is mere theatrics. If
Hillary is elected, either a Clinton or a Bush will have been in the
presidency for a minimum of 20 years!
Many
senators started back in the 1970's and keep getting re-elected. If
you want our country back YOU
have to stop putting the same people in power, remove the career
politicians, introduce term limits on senators and sponsor true
statesmen. Otherwise, the agenda of the status quo will continue as
it has for the past 75 years. Learn your history people and stop
repeating your mistakes...I beg this of you. Oh, and don't forget to
wear your flag pin!

it's a shame when any canidate uses 9/11 for poltical purposes. Shame on you, HRC!

"To Mike in Texas.

I am so surprised with someone from TEXAS bashing Hillary Clinton!!!! After all, your great state has given us the best president ever! (i'm not refering to LBJ or Bush Sr.)"

r,sisk , Nevada
You are making the wrong assumption of that I am a Bushy because I am from Texas. I have news for you: I don't know about Nevada but Texans have diverse views on things and they are not all Bushies. There are independents , democrats and even independent republicans. I am a democrat and I didn't like when I saw Bush and Guiliani exploit 9/11 (but at least I am usedto it) but it makes me even furious when a democrat does the same thing after criticizing the repubs harshly for past few years. Got it?

Oh, my God....this one takes the cake.

"Ron"-

I'll make it simple for you.

http://www.time.com/time/poy2001/poyprofile.html

Sen. Clinton hasn't used 9/11 to suggest that, unless you vote for her, terrorist wolves will come and eat your little children. Nor does she argue, as Mayor Giuliani does, that, because he was mayor on that terrible day, we should just go ahead and crown him, regardless of what came before or after. Sen. Clinton's ad points out what she did as Senator in the aftermath of the disaster, which is relevant to her qualifications for the presidency. She isn't exploiting anyone or anything connected to the day. Therefore, her ad is perfectly legitimate.

PAUL FORLONEY – RIOMAGGIORE, ITALY

She WAS booed the first time spoke in NYC after the tragedy, but Sen. Clinton has never let ill-informed attacks stop her from doing the right thing. (This personal quality is one of the best arguments for electing her.) After the booing, she helped get the frontline workers proper equipment (which Mayor Giuliani did not) and later, she got them appropriate health care (Giuliani - again no). That's why she is CURRENTLY so popular among frontine workers, many of whom now despise Giuliani. Just wait, you'll see THEIR ads.

BRADLEY SCHAUBS, GREELEY, CO.;

Giuliani may have done the best he could on the morning of 9/11, but before that he sited Central Command in the WTC, which every terrorism expert told him NOT to do because terrorists had hit it before. That's why the fire and police chiefs were in different places when he gave the order to evacuate. The police chief got the order but the fire chief didn't. That might not have ended up mattering anyway, because, once more thanks to the Mayor's "leadership," his department heads didn't have inter-operable radios. So the fire chief most likely wouldn't have been able to give the order to his fire-fighters anyway. If that's Giulian's best, protect the country from even his second-best.

STEVE: exactly what facts do you find less than truthful in Sen. Clinton's advertisement? I'm getting a little tired of Sen. Clinton's opponents making charges against her, or repeating catch-phrases with no evidence to back them up. Also, 20,000,000 new jobs, a balanced budget, a nice surplus and shrinking public debt, efficient, professional, well-run government departments, a sane and sensible foreign policy: works for me.

Hey "Ron Paul"

Just saying that Rudy did nothing on 9-11 doesn't make it so. Go back and read the Time article accompanying his "Person of the Year" Award.

I'm not voting for him, but, to say he did nothing is BS and offensive

Hillary is campaigning as a Republican, and I find that disgusting.

Let's nominate a Democrat in the Democratic primaries, people. Pull the wool back from over your eyes and THINK.

KEITH JAMES LOUTTIT,
What did Rudy actually DO on 9/11? It seems like all you Rudy supporters can say is "he was DOING".... what that DOING means is never mentioned. Go up to New York and ask the locals. Ask the firefighters and the police. This guy did not DO anything....

And, Ian from Arlington, TX,
Last I heard, Hillary was not married to George Bush... who has been such a shame for our great state.

During her first two terms in the White House Hillary ignored international events. She, Bill, and Madeline Albright are criminally responsible for 9/11 and should be brought before a court of law.

The use of imagery is very important at any time.
America was attacked by a bunch of terrorists.
It matters very much who was there to inspect the carnage and who wasn't.
Equally important is to wear the flag-pin for the entire duration of the war on terror. It's a symbol, yes, but one that matters very much to the families of the fallen and the meimed.
How else do you tell the victims that you still care; that you haven't forgotten?

The last time Hillary tried to exploit fear Senator characterized it as "TASTELESS".

I agree this is TASTELESS.
What leadership? You want to see leadership? Check this out!

http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/turnthepageiniraq

I see nothing wrong with this ad, unlike Republicans who have used 9/11 in such a way that's it's tasteless. For example Senator Mike Dewine of Ohio tried to use a 9/11 ad in his re-election campaign here showing the planes hitting the buildings and it was doctored, go figure.

This ad shows her leadership commitment after what had happened. She's giving a helping hand to those who needed it that day, which is far more than this president who blew through a blow horn that we were going to get those who did this and he got that wrong too by going after the wrong people, the Iraqis. I won't even mention his performance with Katrina. Thank You to the Clinton's who actually care about the people of this country.

Hillary has the right to use the image, and should have used it long time ago.

She was the senator of new york, and she should be there after the disaster. New York did get lots of federal help right after the disaster.

I dont hear any new yorkers upset with her handling of 9/11. On the other hand, I heard that the new york firemen, policmen and vitim families are upset with Giuliani for preventing and handling the 9/11 incident.

Hillaryous!

Hillary and Bill will stoop to anything in their world of politi-speak.
Vote for real change vote for OBAMA in '08!

Who's this guy they're interviewing for this CNN piece? He talks like one of those dumb bears from the old cartoons. "Duh, which way did he go, George?"

If Rudy hadn't been using 9/11 in all his campaign materials and speeches, we wouldn't have Hillary's ad. As far as the health of the workers at the 9/11 site, Hillary is doing her best to see they get the health care they need and deserve. Rudy is a talker. Hillary is a doer.

Was it not Hillary Clinton's husband who had the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in his grasp only to let him go because he was afraid of actually doing anything preventative? Was it not the Clinton era that crippled our nations ability to avoid and prevent such attacks? I am outraged that, after all the mud-slinging and the politics, Hillary Clinton, of all people, would use such an event towards for her own political gain.

Little known fact. . .

Shot heard round the world. . . . it was Shillary

And Lee-

stop with the dem talking points. . .set up base camp blah blah blah. You are close enough, talk to the majority of the people there on 9-11 and the days after, and they are extremely thankful for Giuliani's presence and help. Those are the facts!

I have lived in NYC for 25 years now. The worst totalitarian mayor was Guliani. Police,teachers,firemen, the Amadu Dialo and Abner Luima incidents... Hilary is NY's Senator, she has done more than anyone else in the fight for compensation to Ground Zero workers who are now sick with all sorts of problems. I have met Hillary 3 times, and she is so much more passionate than that slime bucket. I think the ad is fine, of course Clinton haters would think otherwise.

Rudy did nothing? WOW! Ignorance is bliss. He did more than anyone else could. Truth is nobody should use images of 9/11. This is the lowest of the low. Lower than attacking someones lesbian daughter.

Frankly as some have said... she is just Bush lite... still taking money from special interests. Would rather have Obama and hope that some kind of clean break can be made with special interests... but being a realist I know that won't happen.

Will enjoy hearing republicans moan and groan about her especially if she is elected.

ONCE AGAIN THE CLINTON PROPAGANDA MACHINE IS TRYING TO IMPLY SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SO. What does 1 trip to ground zero do to compare to all of the hours Gulliano spent there, and how many firefighters and police funerals did she attend? it never ceases to amaze me as to how gullible the Clintons think we are and tahat there are people stupid enough and determined to think that they must always adhere to one political party.

She cared? Yeah right! The only thing she has ever cared about is her image and getting elected. So many ignorant people believe the Democrat lies that they are in it for the little people. Truthfully, they want the little people to stay little in perpetuity.

I don't know how Hillary can live with herself. To use 9/11 victims and the workers whose blood, sweat and tears helped this country on to recovery is an abomination. She fails to address the guilty party in all this and continues to oppose those efforts of retaliation. She should be ashamed.

Yes, she was there.So was every other schmedrick politician looking for a photo op. At least she is not basing her ENTIRE campaign on it like Rudy(not my Rudy).

Don't know if it is as bad as BUSH duping the entire Christian right by telling tem he'd reverse Roe v Wade, ban same sex marriage, etc., and never actually doing it. To add insult to injury, He sends their kids of to fight a useless war.

I think all political TV ads should be banned. Only air debates. You want people to see you? Go on the web or how about this absurd concept; get out of "the office" and get out there amongst "your constituents" and hear what THEY have to say...don't be afraid, all of you get S/S protection anyway...

If anyone swallows THAT load of crap they deserve Hillary as their president. They need a "say anything" candidate and she's their man. Why go back th a Clinton White House?? We know how well it didn't work then and we can't expect anything different if they're put back in there. Untrustworthy, out of touch and so desperate for votes she's trying to play the 9/11 card when she has no right to do so.

I do not see any problem with the images she has used in this particular ad. It is not like how Bush used in 2004. All she is trying to show is the workers at WTC and how is helping them on Health care issues. I am not an HRC supporter. I think comparing it how Bush and Rudy are Milking that tragedy is BS.

To Mike in Texas.

I am so surprised with someone from TEXAS bashing Hillary Clinton!!!! After all, your great state has given us the best president ever! (i'm not refering to LBJ or Bush Sr.)

I think "y'all" should keep a low profile for lets say a decade or two until this worldwide embarrassment of an administration fades from our memories. (if that is possible).

Hillary is a Senator from New York and is seen surveing the aftermath and reaching out to her fellow New Yorkers. She was there for her constituents after the tragic 9-11 incidents. That's all the message is.

HRC isn't using the image in an overt way. After all, it's just a health care ads. She gets more leeway on this than Rudy because with him, it would just seem opportunistic.

http://www.political-buzz.com/

Exploitive. Typical

Do you get a glass of koolaide with this video?

There is Nothing wrong with Hillary using her 911 leadership images. National security & strong leadership issues are not personal property of the Republican party. We are sick & tired of the GOP elephant. Can't wait to cast my vote for Hillary.

She should use images from that day.
The Bush team has been using them to scare people since 9/11 happened.
Someone said something about opening her files? Let's have a look at the Bush teams files first.

The Repubs. have used it enough times, so why can't the Dems?

Not Cool

It's not cool for anyone to politicize 911 be they Democrat or Republican. This is so wrong on so many levels. But, I am not surprised that Hillary would do it. It fits her ways to a tee.

She's in it and she's in it to exploit it. I mean , "win it". Sorry.

Hillary, unlike Rudy, is not exploiting 911. Rudy is the one who exploits 911 over and over and over- he mentions 911 in every speech he delivers- he mentions 911 in every rally he goes to-he mentions 911 in every debate he participates. Hillary does not do that. Unlike Rudy, Hillary does not claim she spent more times in the ground zero than the rescuers. Hillary is a Senator of NY-she witnessed the horror, the pain, and the agony of that tragedy, and she is trying show that she is capable of handling crisis. Her video shows that she is strong to hold herself together in a crisis like that. I, as a man, would break into pieces if were to see the ground zero like Hillary did. That is all. Please do not bash her. Please visit http://www.hillaryclinton.com, and you will know more about her.

You are exploiting 9/11 victims for political gain Hill. Let us talk about Blackwater and your connection with them.

For those of you here trashing Senator Clinton, tell us wht YOU did after 9/11 to help?

She is the only choice for President

Great Job Hillary! remind the voters that the current president ran from those responsibile for 9/11 because Bushs family is connected to Osama by oil.

O9/11 is the only reason anyone is even considering Guiliani...

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

GO HILLARY!

I don't see anything wrong with it.

Do you really believe that Dems are strong and committed to the war on terrorism and nation state sponsers of terror?

Well, well, well. After all the times the Democrats bashed Republicans for using 9/11 as a campaign tool, here they are doing it themselves.

Lets see. Hilary reacted to 9/11 by helping people, and to Katrina by helping people. Considering our present President used the first to rally violence against a completely unrelated nation and the second to sit on his thumb while people died, I don't see anything wrong with pointing these things out as contrast. Would you rather she take the negative approach and berate her opponents?

Well, at least Hillary went to Capitol Hill to fight for the people who got sick on 911. She cared. Rudy who was the mayor of NYC, didn't do anything. He was to busy with photo-ops and that mess he was in with his girlfriend.

People use 9/11 as a campaign platform so much that the horrible event has lost much value. In other words, "Ground Zero" has gone from disaster zone to casual tourist attraction.

The video mentioned that everyone made sacrifices that morning. I think that's everyone except those on the planes and in the towers. For those who weren't terrorists, it was all about being an unlucky civilian who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

9/11 touched us all as Americans. The infamous event is currently being taught in the history classes of America's schools. But...Christ...to take the suffering of our nation's most cataclysmic event and use it for political gain? Lord almighty, what have we come to?

And to think...this whole tradgedy set the stage for such things as the Iraq war and a sharp crackdown on Middle-Easterners/Muslims. Truly, 9/11 was just the beginning of some unfathomable dark plot of destiny.

Hillary, Rudy: You both did the best you could during that terrible time. But in the end, only your words will determine whether or not you become president, not where you were in the days of uncertainty following the worst event in recent memory. But above all, remember those who died, who lost, who suffered, who rediscovered what it means to be American. Do not make that hallowed ground experience more publicity than it already has.

ahhhh
the same people who bash bush for using 911 to push his political agenda produce this.Hillary=Bush in blue clothing.

Scum.

What are you talking about? She was booed at when they held a memorial. She was looking all around when Mayor Guiliani was speaking with her dark sunglasses on. Take a look back at the film clip. God help American if she is in power.

After visiting site on 10-11 Hillary acted to get protection items which rescue workers lacked. Later she got them medical benifits. Bush and Guiliani just did photo ops. She will be a great president

I just want to know why CNN is running all these Hillary ads. Seems odd. Unless they want her to win. I cant wait to see the next ad from Hillary. But thanks for the great news.

I have always said, Hillary is the female version of Giuliani. If Hillary's beliefs and values represent you, well then, you are a Republican!! That coming from a true blue Minnesota Democrat.

Hillary is desperate and she does not know what she wants to do. She is trying to find all gimmicks to get voted in power but American people are not fools. We know that 9/11 occured because of you and your husband. You did not take care of the security of our country. You just want to get the power...

Well, here we go! I remember Rudy DOING things, Bill getting his perfunctory photo-op on Park Avenue, and Hillary making speeches, all on 9-11! I prefer substance over style. What about you?

Keep it up Hillary!

Let's see how low you want to sink for desperate thirst of power.

Go ahead exploit the tragic day of your constituents!

I watched the video and although I am not a huge fan of Hillary, I do not see anything disgracefully wrong about it. She is just trying to show that she has leadership qualities and she is trying to relate that to voters. She is just trying to cite examples where she has stepped up and shown leadership. Now whether she actually has these leadership qualities is a different question. She may have been there after 9/11 for these workers but that doesn't necessarily mean that she has the leadership needed to turn this country in the right direction.

Hillary looks preposterous muzzled that way in her campaign ad.

Of course the worst at this was Bush and Rudy Guiliani, as if either of them did a useful thing to prevent it from happening or during the morning that it happen.

Rudy of course was the available "talking head" on the spot for television those first days while Bush and Cheney were cowering somewhere and for that he somehow became the "hero" of 9-11.

Guiliani just happenened to be there as a failing mayor on his way out and did nothing special.

Indeed, Guiliani made the situation worse by insisting that the a city emergency response office be located in one of the towers even though the WTC was a known terrorist target from before (1993 bombing).

But he is still pretending to be the "hero" rather than the real heroes, the firefighters and police, who risked their lives to help others that horrible morning.

The candidates that cravenly use 9-11 the most are the ones to trust the least.

Yeah right Hillary. Anything to get you votes, but I'm not fooled. You are deceptive and untrustworthy. Open up your files please.

Hillary was there at 9/11 working to help dig out all the victims and move all the debris left at the site – Hillary is a hero here....and there will be people bashing her – after she left the 9/11 site – she was solely responsible for pumping all the flood water out of New Orleans after Katrina...yes...this woman is wonderful – and all you Republicans can bring up is her ability to make the people who support her believe anything....(even if its just completely made up)
