Do you know how some right wing patriots will be celebrating the deaths of thousands of their fellow citizens? That's right - a country music concert featuring Sean Hannity! But it gets worse:
First, [Hannity will] host his daily WABC (770 AM) show at the park, 3-6 p.m., then he starts the concert, a wildly popular event that also features music by Lee Greenwood and LeAnn Rimes between remarks by Oliver North, Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Ann Coulter, Jon Voight, Newt Gingrich, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and WABC hosts Mark Levin, Curtis Sliwa and Bob Grant.
Oliver North, a convicted felon? Ann Coulter, polemicist and plagiarizer? Holy Joe Lieberman? Ghouliani?
Tom Lehrer once remarked that irony died when Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize. If it didn't, this gathering of authoritarians and warmongers, getting off on what should be a day for sober reflection, surely kills it off for good.
Freude, this is actually Hannity's sixth concert presentation at Six Flags this year....

After all the time that has passed, things can get distorted and out of perspective. So on a day like this, 6 years to the day of the horrific attacks against the US, we need reminders. We should watch videos like this:

It puts things into the proper perspective.

Damn, he is oh so offensive. I think that I am going to be ill. I am sure that my two friends whose remains are in the WTC ground are rolling over and over in disgust.

I think Lee Hazlewood should come back from the grave and claim Lee Greenwood for the armies of the dead instead.
And Jon Voight, who did Anaconda?

The good news, the show is probably rained out. Serves the bastard right.

Please tell me this is a joke. Please!
So they are gonna sing whoop it up in remembrance of the dead? This is the most heartless thing I have heard of in some while. Of course if it's republican, it sort of is expected to be cold and heartless. People of jesus? Yeah, right. Jesus was always singing country music when something awful happened. That's not the way I remember it from Sunday School.
