Personally I wouldn't offended by the ads, but I reacted to 9/11 differently than a lot of the population. And I can still see how those related to the victims would be upset with a shot of someone's dead body being taken away on a stretcher.
What I don't understand is why nobody who put out these ads questioned whether or not they would upset people. To me it seems like a huge red flag and they should have definitely questioned whether or not the footage was appropriate.
Also, despite the fact that "9/11 belongs to all Americans," you certainly experienced it a little differently if you were waiting by the phone for hours to see if your dad died in the attacks than if you sat vegging on the couch for days watching footage of the towers falling and candlelight vigils. Please don't try to argue differently because you just sound ignorant.
As for the protesters -- if those who were offended were Democrats, Bush doesn't have to worry because they wouldn't have voted for him anyway.
