In an exclusive statement to the Gleeson Bloglomerate today, the architect of the controversial Arizona 9/11 Memorial defended the inscriptions on the bleak iron crescent, and denied charges of partisan bias.
The Autorantic Virtual Moonbat (AVM), head architect for the memorial project, referring to accusations of left-wing pro-terrorist slant, responded, “What MAKES you say slant!!? What about dialogue and carbon dioxide reduction for the 52,744 otters who are butchered every single day by our Thief-in-CHIEF!!!? The TRUTH is at pagankittensforrecycling.org!!? When the warmongers say ‘one nation under God,’ they really mean ‘meat’!! When they say ‘free trade,’ it is just a code word for ‘neocolonialism’!”
The AVM, a robot programmed to spew random liberal taking points and insults, said that anyone who criticizes the inscriptions is “one of Paul Wolfowitz’s swarm of prowar stepinfetchits,” and added, “Spare me!!”
The Arizona 9/11 Memorial, titled “MoveOn Memories,” is located in Wesley Bolin Plaza in Phoenix, until someone tears it down.
UPDATE: More exclusive photos at 6MB.
DANG!
You interviewed him first! And of course, if the architect declares that he is not biased, well that settles it!
Arizona’s activist memorial
This is what happens to a memorial site when you let political activists design and build it. Across the street from the memorial in Phoenix sits a place for political discussions, Arizona’s state capitol building, which is where they should hav…
Sean, this is high quality stuff! Forget who got to it first. I stand in awe.
[…] UPDATE II: The Professor X to my Wolverine, Sean Gleeson brings on more AZ Memorial Moonbattery. […]
Architect denies bias:
Sean Gleeson has an exclusive “interview” with AVM, the architect of the controversial Arizona 9/11 memorial….
No offense, but in this case, I think the moonbats are the people opposed to a poignant, open-minded memorial.
Open-minded, we’re calling it? I disagree, DR. A public memorial is not the appropriate place to stick in the “balancing” viewpoint. Imagine: if half of the inscriptions on the Lincoln Memorial gave the anti-Yankee, pro-slavery side, would that have been an improvement? (Okay, I’ll give away the answer: no.)
The moonbats have the right to build their own memorial on their own property, but the people of Arizona were hoodwinked into putting this one up on public land, using fraudulently solicited donations. The donors were promised one of those old-timey memorials, the kind that honors the heroes being memorialized. If they had known it would instead be a permanent al Qaeda advertisement, they would not have contributed.
All bickering aside, I think a fair and acceptable solution can be found. If the moonbats want this memorial, let them pay to transport it to private property. Then, leave its current site undeveloped, or build a real memorial in its stead with public funds.
Um, the memorial was privately funded and approved by the 9/11 families and a bipartisan committee. This whole fake outrage will die down after a couple days.
Sean, two things come to my mind.
1. I was really getting into this post until I read, “Cindy Sheehan is pretty sexy”, and then I had to go puke. Thank you!
2. That DR fellow must not know that this “memorial” is on public land. That changes things, DR.
And I knew that AVM fellow was going to come back and haunt us again.
Uh, oh, that’s three things that came to mind. Oh, well. Thanks, Sean.
I am glad it is on public land. It should be seen by the public instead of pre-judged on blogs. It is a wonderful testament to the family of man.
Arizona Memorial - Fighting Back
Here’s what I really think. I made my own inscription.
Ha! “Family of man”. He didn’t just say that, did he?
I’m afraid he did say “family of man,” and I for one am offended. I reckon DR needs a refresher course in moonbat sensitivity.
Don’t laugh, guys! DR wrote a beautiful song called “family of man” for the acoustic guitar.
And he cries at beautiful sunsets.
Oh, speaking of guitars, Preston Jr. smashed his to bits. I plan to post a picture of it tonight. I guess that makes him a rock star. I wish he could smash DR’s guitar. Over his head. And then tell him it was a “guitar of peace” from the “family of man”.
All right, confession time. DR’s initials are just one off from my real ones, but I won’t hide behind them anymore.
Now watch the moonbats among us drop this story and move on to the next fauxtrage of the week.
Yeah, I’m still outraged that the Neo-Nazi ABC/Disney corp implied that Clinton might have been lax about terrorism.
Grrrrrr. Sometimes the family of man can be sooooo disfunctional I could just scratch their eyes out.
“A wonderful testament to the family of man.” Typical nonsensical liberal cant. What exactly does that mean DR? You consider flying planes into buildings an admirable traight? Killing Sihks? I guess to Islamo-fascists-loving liberals, those would be noble acts whose remembrance can inspire us all to be the best hate-mongering murders we can be……
I couldn’t care less about Klintoon.
And now it seems the conservablogs couldn’t care less about the memorial.
“the conservablogs couldn’t care less about the memorial”
Sean, we failed utterly. Time to shutter your blog. I would, but I don’t own mine. I forget, are we supposed to commit Hari Kari at this point?
DR, you are a better
manchild of personkind than I.Don’t worry, brother Gordon. That meany DR was talking in his sleep or something, when he said this outrage would go away. It will go away after the moonbat memorial does.
Just today, one of my loyal readers — who is also running for governor of Arizona — promised to tear down the abomination if he’s elected, which he will be.
So, you see Gordon? Much as we would like to, we don’t have to change everyone’s mind. If we have reached just one brother in the family of man with our heartfelt pleas, and that brother becomes governor of the Arizona branch of the family of man, then our efforts will not have been in vain.
Psst. Nobody cares about the memorial anymore.
Glad to hear it! I would be sad if anyone were to miss it when it’s gone.
