Look who’s hijacking 9/11
Matthew Vadum reports that Obama’s left-wing allies are preparing plans to re-brand 9/11 as a national service/eco-zealot propaganda day.
The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.
This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.
The administration’s plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group’s senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs.
Yearwood, who uses the honorific “Reverend” before his name, has been in the news in recent years, usually for getting arrested. After Democrats took back Congress, the rowdy activist was handcuffed outside a congressional hearing in September 2007 when Gen. David Petraeus was to testify. Yearwood told the “Democracy Now” radio program that he wanted to attend the hearing to hear Petraeus give his report. “I knew that when officers lie, soldiers die,” he said.
On the Aug. 11 call, Yearwood and other leaders kept saying repeatedly that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference.
The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.
Makes perfect sense coming from a president who believes that the root of 9/11 jihadi stems “from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers.”
***
The provision turning 9/11 into a “National Day of Service” was lodged in the massive national service expansion bill – GIVE/SERVE — signed into law this spring.
Reminder: Only 14 Republicans in the Senate voted against the bill.

No. Absolutely not. If folks want it to be a day of service, they can do it on their own time.
They can try to mandate it into something PC for future generations, but for those of us who lived through it, it won’t matter what they try to make it.
And what about the 3,000 people who died? Oh – we’re just supposed to forget about them, or the horrific way in which they were taken from us, right?
I hope this blows up in their collective, progressive, stupid faces.
Doesn’t the collective already have May 1st for that?
Errah Perhaps we should also consider rebranding December 7th to Toyotathon Day??!!!
zero go sell your bs somewhere else and feel free to continue to blow smoke up your lackey’s back sides. all Americans know what happened on 9/11 and we won’t forget and it had nothing to do with ethanol, emission control or organizing so go pedal your crap somewhere else maybe chicago. we here in Texas don’t care what you and your leftist gutter dwellers think, say, or want. try to force the issue and we will respond.
Let them try. I will not forget, nor will I let others.
My family and i will do what we have done for the past five years. We go to our local 9/11 memorial site and touch the steel from the fallen towers and read the names of the people from our community who were murdered that day, and I will tell them exactly who was responsible for their deaths. I will then send them to school with the specific instructions that if they hear anything different from what I told them in the morning, they are to tell me and i will go to the school and make the necessary corrections.
Yes, they do. But they want ALL
holid, People’s Days of Celebration, and eventually hope to eradicate or change the meaning of ALL of our traditional holidays and days of remembrance. To change the meaning of 9/11 will especially please ZERO’s islamic supporters.I am all for this National Day of Service.
Our service can be to contribute our time to sit with our young people and instill in them the vision of this nation’s founders and what a wonderful documents the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights are.
Then off to the range to teach them marksmanship and celebrate the Second Amendment.
The Democrats have to, else they will forever face a yearly reminder to voters of how inept and uncommitted their party has become in protecting this nation and its citizens.
Recall the mental image of Obie tossing the rose into the water at Ground Zero. That image alone tells you all you need to know of this human disgrace and his concerns about those who died on Sept 11, 2001.
I will never forget!
Amen to that Flyover.
Just doing the work that Leftists refuse to do.
What’s next? …changing December 25th into a celebration of Obama’s birth?
Sorry jag, it was toooooooo tempting to resist.
As some of our Republican brethern have suggested, I plan to be civil – to participate in a common dialogue about this with the Democrats and the President …… HA HA HA – sorry, couldn’t resist. They can kiss my flyover, Harley-riding, gun-totin’, bible-reading backside with this stuff. Not in my country! Not with my freedoms! Not to my Family!
Well, it can’t be about Christ, so why the heck not?
These people are so politically deaf it is astounding. I hope they keep this up because it will back-fire on them like everything they do.
The only recycling the Hip Hop Caucus might do is to pick up and save their brass and learn to reload but truthfully I think that kind of measurement is beyond the Hip Hop Caucus.
I prefer April 1.
It’s more than clear we’re going to have to fight this uphill battle on every issue, up and until we unseat some of the loons in D.C.. Now that we know how far reaching and how distorted every issue will be twisted for the ‘common good’, not the truth, we need the likes of Michelle Malkin, Palin, Rush and others to keep pounding away on the national front. We can guard the rear and do the community organizing just as well as those that have used it so lethally. Take every Alinsky point and turn it around to make it yours – with a conservative bent. Raise your voices to everything you know to be wrong…and this attempt to highjack 9/11 is ugly.
Well, you’re probably right. At least, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid wouldn’t have to wear Halloween masks!
Texans remember Cornyn didn’t vote and Hutchinson was not among the dissenters of the Give/Serve Bill that passed.
Weasel Behavior, yeah we have a varmint infestation
it could get real crowded in d.c. that weekend, as the beck 9/12 rally is on 9/12 and that is why the union/acorn thugs want to use 9/11 as a rally date. union/gubmint workers/acorn rent a mob/million unemployed man march can take off on a friday (who would notice they weren’t there) but real folks will have to show up on saturday 9/12.
i say we make this fantasy holiday on the first day of Ramadan every year
“Uh, uh…Let me be clear…this is about me. I won! We must look forward, and not backwards.
As John F. Kennedy once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” And I intend to make that happen. As Michelle said, I will not let you go back to life as usual. This is important, not just for me, but for our world as a whole. Blah, blah, blah…etc…etc…etc!”
Obama, modern day Dagos, Destroyer of Worlds! God of Chaos! Hail…NO!!!
This monstrosity, who sees himself as King of the World, must go, along with everyone who has enabled, coddled, and/or supported him in the government. We must not leave any stone unturned, lest we return to this point four years hence.
Soviet-style whitewashing.
How can they even think that anyone would believe a sentence with the words ‘Hip Hop Caucus’ and ’service’ together?
No way any group mentioned is at all interested in any kind of service let alone the eco-zealot agenda.
That lot is only interested in lining their pockets, and seeing what they can buy next.
Does this mean all fed employees will get the day off with pay?
Our home will never forget Sept. 11 and what was done to our Republic by those terrorists killing so many people.
L
The service that I hope to perform is to enable some jihadi to meet his maker before he kills innocent people. (Well, indirectly help, and by more than just by paying taxes.)
Think that will be good enough for the White House?
If that’s not bad enough what about this?

I’m participating in the 2,996 Project, on that reverent day, September 11th.
Barack can have his Yes.We.Can.
Vomit special. that will identify all the Alinskys’ in the crowds.
Sounds to me like the Ministry of Information is next going to collect all periodicals containing any reference to the attacks of 9/11 so the references can be replaced with stories of some ficticious event or person. That’s normally what they would do when they want to erase all memory of something and make it an un-event.
They’ve now got something to replace it with. I wonder if Winston Smith is available for this project.
re: #15 and #16…fixed it for both of yinz, jet and flyoverman.
Michelle,
Pamela at Atlasshrugged reported this weeks ago, please give her proper due.
Obama vacationing in Marxist Vineyard, now wants to tell us the family friends and neighbors lost on 9/11 to al Qaeda Muslim terror attacks, are to be forgotten.
Husein really is the Joker.
Go. To. Hell. Zero!!
I will not forget.
I will not forget watching those towers fall.
I will not forget the fear that it wouldn’t stop.
I will not forget watching F-16’s fly over my city, or tanks rolling through my streets, or having to pass through armed checkpoints to get to my apartment.
You disgusting POS!!!
maybe the hip hop caucus can teach it’s constituents to use a garbage can or not pee in doorways or elevators. after they have succeeded maybe they will get a well deserved holiday BUT NOT THIS ONE!!! i know — raaaaaacist.
Rumor has it that a bill has been introduced to change November to ‘Ovember’ in honor of The President.
This makes me furious! I’d like to show The Usurper my fundamental absence of empathy for him!!! It wouldn’t be pretty.
Like Little Ma, I am FURIOUS!
Mr. Obama, nacho475’s comment goes for me as well:
You think it can’t get worse, but then it does. They have 364 other days for this stupid national day of service. why choose 9/11? They know that the American public remembers what happened and who did it. The Dens are the same people who are against any attempts at preventing this. If they can make the voters forget thsi they they can claim the kept the country safe.
Myself, I will never forget walking into History class in HS and seeing a burning WTC then a plane appear and smash into it. I will NEVER forget seeing my fellow Citizens, who were just trying to make a living, jump from 100 floors to their death so they are not burned alive.
Sadly, many people including younger college students seem to have forgotten this. No thanks to the MSM and the leftist Professors.
The Fires of Hell are never quenched.
King Ahab had Ezekiel and Moses but chose Baal and Asherah. Obama had Christ and all the Bible but chose the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright and the Alinsky School. Sometimes a fine education and achievement mean nothing.
I repeat the quote: ‘The Fires of Hell are never quenched’. Naboth’s Vineyard comes at a terrible cost (1 Kings 21).
I too will not forget watching those towers fall nor will I forget the mocking of the dead by so much of the Left such as George Carlin, Bill Maher and now the President of the United States. Mohamed Atta just needed a hug and validation? Perhaps Self Esteem classes and food stamps?
All dogs may go to Heaven but no mohammedan apologist ever will although Ward Churchill may well become Secretary of Something.
Nothing is sacred to these creeps. Not our nation’s history, or founders, or artifacts and ESPECIALLY not her holidays and days of memorial.
Just what the hell does any of that crap have to do with honoring the memories of those innocents slaughtered by those Obama was taught at the earliest age to respect, honor, idolize and emulate by his father, grandmother, aunts, uncles and other assorted riffraff. It really doesn’t matter if he follows the religion himself. What matters is the emphasis and importance he, as leader of the Free World, places on it while at the same time keeping up the attacks on the Jewish people, Israel, and Christianity in both word and deed, and continuing to both trivulize the importance of that day and erasing it from America’s collcective memories.
I could have sworn The One was going to name September 11th “National 9-11, Unicorn and Centaur Day”. That way he could have all the myths celebrated providing that we teach the children that everything discussed on this day is just a myth and nothing more.
Word has it, Obama will include the Bible and the 1927 Yankees next year.
Re-brand 9/11? The f–k they will! The only re-branding will be the ones on their buns if they try this nonsense.
The best line from ther linked article is -
At no time does anyone explain why this National Day of Service has to be held — of all the 365 days in a year — on Sept. 11.
No. That is not what 9/11 is about.
This is.
You can’t fix stupid, we got to get rid of these fools.
A cabinet full of czars, gov’t take over/control of numerous financial institutions, GM & Chrysler, more than 2 dozen czars in accountable positions with unknown and unaccountable budgets making unaccountable decisions, the creation of HIG teams to perform interrogations under the direct supervision of the White House instead of our congressionally overseen intelligence agencies, and now a National Day of Service.
Maybe I’m just a reactionary but that certainly sounds like a road map to a dictatorship to me. I need to buy more ammo (if I could find any).
No. Absolutely not. They will not take this from us. I, too, remember being at school, at chapel, and the chaplain prayed for the small airplane they had “heard” crashed into the first tower. It was shortly afterward that I walked into a common area with a tv and everyone was FIXED to the screen. It was such a pivotal moment.
How grotesque.
From Michelle’s earlier post on GIVE/SERVE:
GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx is one of the best there is in Congress!
Congresswoman Foxx doesn’t get much credit for it, but she was one of the handful of Republicans (including Hoekstra, Culberson, Pence, Shadegg, and other GOP House revolutionaries) who stood their ground and started the first “Tea Party” last August when Nancy Pelosi moved to shut down the House and silence their revolt.
I think the best way any of us can serve our nation is to remove any and all dhimmis from any position of power or influence, by any means necessary.
We all know the Administration isn’t going to stand up against the jihad. Via Debbie Schlussel (think what you will about her, but she does good journalism), the muslim outreach advisor is back:
Mazen Asbahi – the Muslim outreach advisor who had to resign because of some very dubious ties to Muslim investment funds and shady characters – he was a Chicago lawyer with a big firm, and now suddenly he’s a solo lawyer in Washington D.C. – wonder where he’s getting his business?
Why is there a muslim outreach advisor? Muslims make up less than one percent of the US population. Where’s the Buddhist outreach advisor?
Why does Islamberg still exist?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamberg
The events of September 11, 2001 forced you to stop ignoring some facts of life.
I remember that out of respect for the dead and their LIVING family members the MSM will not show the Towers falling ever again.
After hearing about the dismantling of our CIA and the National Day of Service on 9/11. I hope Fox News shows the videotape, in it’s entirety, from that September morning in 2001. It’s time to remind people, especially the left, what happened that day.
Come on New Yorkers are you going to let this crap happen? Time to hammer the switchboards at the White House and that big white building on top of the hill.
To the Republicans that voted for this bill, I hope you enjoy what’s about to happen. MM can you show us exactly who voted for this “Service Bill”?
A “National Day of Service” is a good idea…a good idea to get out and do “service” for this country by telling the government that we’re sick of them and their policies. That’s my kind of service and very beneficial to the nation.
On September 11, 2001, a friend of mine died in the World Trade Center attacks.
On that same day, in that same city, the following words were printed by the New York Times:
Ayers had previously bombed both the Pentagon and the Capitol building.
On September 11, 2001, both of those buildings were targeted again. And as a self-described Communist Revolutionary, Ayers had a motive to target the tallest symbol of capitalism in our nation’s financial capital (the WTC in NYC).
The name that parents pick for their children says a lot about the parents.
William Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn named their two children Zayd and Malik.
Zayd is an Arabic name meaning “one who progresses and makes other people progress.” The most famous person in Islam named Zayd is Zayd ibn Harithah, who was the orphan boy fostered by the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
Malik is an Arabic word meaning “king”. Malik is one of the names of Allah, “King” in the absolute sense.
Bill Ayers’ door at the University of Chicago is adorned with pictures including Malcolm X.
The more time goes on, and the more “dots” we collect, the more I think that “connecting the dots” leads to a picture that strongly suggests that Obama’s “family friends” played a role in planning the 9/11 attacks.
I challenge anyone to disprove even a single one of the “TRUTH:” statements here:
And the answer to this question:
is “Yes”:
Greenwashing 9/11 is perfectly in keeping with the liberal conviction that the American People are:
- Xenophobic, racist, and violent by disposition;
- Parochially nationalistic;
- Ignorant, stupid, and by jingoistic appeals easily manipulated into war; and
- As a consequence of the above, uniquely dangerous to world peace and stability.
Remember, all cultures and belief systems are equally good except for America’s, which is singularly bad. That is why we must be “sensitive” toward the grievances of those who respond to our acts and omissions of global injustice, but cannot be allowed to see footage of our fellow Americans leaping to their deaths from the World Trade Center lest it inflame us to another round of senseless violence.
There’s no problem on Earth that can’t be solved by America apologizing and walking away. It is therefore imperative that for the sake of mankind, the American People must be collared and shackled, neutered and reformed.
***
I will never forget the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks and who did them. And how our people jumped to their deaths from the twin towers rather than burn alive. Or the cranes working endlessly in the smoking ruins removing the dead bodies and debris from the graveyard–like dinosaurs foraging for something to eat.
***
I will never forget the “high fives” in Gaza and other Arab streets celebrating this evil act of murder. Ditto the Libyan crowd welcoming the Pan Am bomber last week. These jackals (not people) deserve repayment (Hiroshima style) with interest.
***
I see our President Obama (PBUH) and our brilliant Secretary of State Clinton appeasing our enemies–like Neville Chamberlain did during the runup to WW2–”PEACE IN OUR TIME”.
***
I see the Messiah gutting our military and intelligence agencies so he can send $900 million to help out the Gaza terrorists. And sending $2,000 million to help Brazil (and George Soros) get richer at our expense.
***
Like George Santayana said, “Those who fail to understand history’s lessons are condemned to repeat the same mistakes!” Our “democratic” / liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist President and his congressional minions are setting us up for a second 9/11 attack–with nukes this time. No compromise with evil is possible.

Watch public grade school text books coming out in the next few years. Those of us who remember will always remember that day as it was. But little kids, they are the left’s target demographic. And with many parents, not parenting these days….there ya go.
I’m just wondering what December 7 will be renamed for. Secular Winter Festival? Or maybe a “national donate food to feed the hungry day”, so the government can take control of charitable food banks and we can forget about the victims of Pearl Harbor.
Liberals try to call 9/11 a day of fear. They’re cowards and disgustingly self-serving.
9/11 was first and foremost a day of loss.
9/11 was also a day of incredible acts of bravery and heroism.
That date should be preserved to honor those who died and those who risked and in many cases lost their own lives trying to save others.
9/11 has NOTHING to do with fear. That’s a load of crap and Obama knows it.
It sickens me that Obama would even try to remake 9/11 into some kind of community organizer party day. He has no respect for the people who were lost and injured that day. This confirms what I suspected about Obama’s character.
Someone please explain to me why I should pigeonhole my voting prospects into only two categories: Republican or Democrat.
And “conservatives” wonder why they are an insignificant voting bloc. It’s because Democrats know you’ll never vote for them, and Republicans know you’ll never a) vote Democrat, and b) “waste” your vote on a third party, which means you’ll always vote Republican. So in the end what reason does either party have to listen to you?
Sorry, Big Zero, you can’t wipe those images out of my head. Sitting in my apartment watching TV at 6:45 am on the left coast crying as people jumped to their deaths before the towers fell, my heart beating a mile a minute. Taking my toddler to the park under a blue, empty, silent sky. Going to the grocery store and walking among the shellshocked people. I’m signed up for the 2,996 Project again this year and am doing my best to make sure no one ever forgets that day.

The joker who wrote this piece didn’t actually hear the conference call and is filling in the blanks with nonsense.
“Positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” now means environmental, huh?
The story Michelle is linking to is an opinion piece…the author is simply not reporting facts because he’s got no facts to support his outlandish claim.
Tried to trackback, but it didn’t take.
Never Forget!
The Radio Patriot
I think the Spectator writer Matthew Vadum made up the whole thing. Maybe there was a conference call, maybe not. Does Obama know Lennox Yearwood? I never heard of him.
The only thing in the article that is likely to be true is the quote, which most Americans would agree with:
Clearly MM’s emotional level over this issue is her worry that the 9/11 branding could change.
lgm,
Anyone else who thinks in terms of “branding” 9/11 is a sick individual.
Repeat after Obama…
Ignorance is Strength
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
@ cubbiegal- my husband has the misfortune to share his birthday with the BigZero.
No, but I did pick up a new Springfield XD .45 over the weekend.
I’m happy to say my fifth grader went to school today and asked his history teacher, in front of the class, why Obama hates Republicans so much and why Obama wants to shut down free speech?
He told me the teacher told him that George Bush ran our country into the ground and Obama is the only person who can correct the wrongs of the last 8 years.
I’ll be going to the school tomorrow morning to discuss with the principal. By the way, the teacher is half white and half black like our President.
What should I say?
Any attempt to force a national day of service/servitude will be met with huge resistance. Any attempt to rebrand the reason we hold 9/11 in reverance will be met with huge resistance.
With Obamanomics sucking the breath out of our economy – how about all those we’re supposed to drop everything to help that day, get up off their collective welfare behinds and do something for those that are worn out from trying to make a living? Bet a few of those evil taxpayers could use their lawns mowed, help with the windows, perhaps some painting done? Why does it always have to mean those with more have to help those that don’t?
Clearly your emotional level of defending this has led you to make more unsubstantiated claims about what most Americans are likely to believe is true.
From a Fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the
attackersattackees FIFYWe must apologize to the 9/11 attackers for our lack of empathy. They know not what they do.
Not as sick as those who actually do the branding of 9/11. You know, the Bush administration.
MM’s post simply makes me sick to my stomach. I was at work at Ground Zero eight years ago on that fateful morning. I saw the south tower get hit. I saw people jump. I lived eight blocks away and lived through the agony of seeing loved ones posting “have you seen me” flyers all over my neighborhood for months after the attacks, and police officers mourning their own.
To watch George W. Bush spend seven years building and destroying his presidency on that day of which he was repeatedly warned but did nothing to prevent still makes me cringe. The right has done nothing but hijack that day and those people’s misery in the name of a war that had nothing to do with the attacks whatsoever. To complain about Obama invoking 9/11 for something as inoccuous as a national day of service is truly beyond the pale.
Like all idiotic ideas coming out of the liberal left these days, this one is bound to fail. Few people will participate, nothing will be accomplished and a year from now, another Looney Tunes idea will be forgotten.
Yet, you say here President Obama is “invoking 9/11″ without irony.
obamadinejad can go kiss my butt…9/11 will be remembered for what it was an attack on America by those who’d see us all dead if they had their way…and my kid says he won’t serve him….this man and his cronies need to be ushered out of their jobs pronto!!!
Day of service? hmmmmmmmm, I’ll volunteer to paint the White House pink, an appropriate color for the wuss living in it.
The only way 9/11 will be forgotten is if we allow it too…tell our children to tell their children’s children…
Michelle, I got my book today!! whoohoooo!
