re: #191 Walter L. Newton

Sorry it says nothing to you. And just because it says nothing to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t say something to a whole lot of people. Seems like you are trying to speak for, and presuppose how everyone else would have reacted to the image.

What makes you the arbiter of what image means what to who?

The only point I’ve been arguing against was the idea that an image of the WTC was included intentionally.

See my first post in this thread here:

I’ve said nothing about how anyone should feel about the imagery.

Then all the more reason why it was stupid of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to include the photo

Dumb + Dumb does not =smart

I also haven’t argued it was smart — in fact I argued the opposite. It’s a stupid blunder that played right into Brown’s messaging, had no upside for Coakley and almost inevitably was going to spark outrage.
