​This year's commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero -- which marks the 10th, and will be held for the first time at the new 9/11 memorial -- will be the first to exclude survivors who escaped the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, reports DNA Info. The World Trade Center Survivors' Network was informed of this last week by the mayor's office, saying that there would simply be no room for them at the event ...

1. Well, after all, what claim do they have on the commemoration?

After all, they SURVIVED.

;-)

2. Why does this sound like another horrible after shock to the handling of this

manufactured crisis?

[LiberalAndProud]

3. Bloomberg should be ashamed of himself.

But that would require possession of a conscience. What an ass.

[Cereal Kyller]

22. The party needs to actually SUPPORT our candidate next time

New Yorkers are less than enthralled by Bloomberg.

[Angry Dragon]

4. I say no room for the pig ass mayor either

[lob1]

5. Isn't that sorta like, on Veteran's Day, not inviting

veterans to the events?

[provis99]

10. not quite.

It's more like not inviting the families of dead veterans killed in the war.

[jberryhill]

14. Just as a point of reference

A lot of people seem to confuse the thrust of Memorial Day v. Veteran's Day.

[provis99]

25. you're right.

Memorial Day is racecar day, Veteran's Day is beer drinking day.

[Contrary1]

6. Plenty of room for all the important politicians and their oversized egos, I bet. n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

7. And exactly how many NYPD cops

will enforce that?! As if!

8. All those posing politicians trying to up their national security bona fides and patriotic...

credibility have to stand somewhere.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

We can have the mayor and his pals stand on the backs of the survivors!

That makes it easy for the crowds to see them. Everybody wins.

[Wait Wut]

31. This...

"We can have the mayor and his pals stand on the backs of the survivors!"

...is the comment that we need to spread.

[Pooka Fey]

9. We truly live in a 'Bizarro' world. n/t

[Bandit]

11. Wasn't there over forty thousand people in the two buildings at the time

That would leave about thirty seven thousand people that survived. I can see where it might get crowded..

[Shagbark Hickory]

12. There's no room because they need to squeeze in a lot of politicians so they can get their picture

taken.

[nc4bo]

13. And they should show up anyway, en masse.

If they want to be there than they should be there and the hell with any one who says or thinks otherwise, including Mr. POS Scuz Bucket(R).

Hopefully someone can organize those that want to go as a group, have them wear attire that makes them easy to see to remind Mr. POS Scuz Bucket(R) that not everything is all about him.

[malaise]

15. WTF?????

Bloomberg is crazy - he should be forced to reverse this ridiculous decision

[nc4bo]

18. Crazy is right...

He's a slime ball chameleon.

[WolverineDG]

16. Just when you think people couldn't get any denser

someone finds a shovel & digs down a little more.

:facepalm:

[Earth_First]

17. Well, with all the politicians who need to show up to be photographed...

There probably wont be enough room.

[paparush]

19. Ghouliani will be hogging all the cameras.

[Capitalocracy]

33. Haha, Ghouliani. Ouch!

That's sharp and cruel (and deserved).

[21st Century FDR]

20. Sounds like somebody's afraid a survivor might mention something that goes against the myth

Like all those explosions seen and heard right before the towers collapsed, maybe.

Can't have facts like that interrupting the "TERRAISTS ARE OUT TO GET US, SO WE GOTTA KEEP THE GODDAMN COUNTRY IN CONSTANT FEAR, BE AT WAR ETERNALLY, AND RADIATE OURSELVES TO DEATH EVERYTIME WE GET ON A PLANE SO MICHAEL OF THE DEVIL CHERTOFF CAN GET RICH" narrative, can we? :eyes:

My TV will be completely shut off the first half of September. Not even MSNBC will be immune from the brainwashing, hell maybe not even Current.

[CleanGreenFuture]

27. Oh no! You did NOT go there...did you?

He did...

:popcorn:

[WinkyDink]

30. We ALL should.

[musette_sf]

28. + 1

[fascisthunter]

21. you have got to be kidding me... disgusting

[McCamy Taylor]

23. They might detract from Rudi. He'll probably kick off his next campaign at the event.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. Will there be banners with coroporate sponsor names all aflutter?

[Generic Other]

26. Uninvite the self-serving politicians and there will be plenty of room!

Seems like an easy fix.

[Liberalynn]

29. This is truly deplorable and disgusting

[Lugnut]

32. WTF?

This is nuts. :wtf:

[Mnemosyne]

34. Despicable... K&R n/t
