"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN 9-11?"The radio & TV gasbags used that question to intimidate those of us who believed the war in Iraq was wrong and, more generally, it was used on anyone who disagreed with former Pres. Bush's anti-terror policies.
Media Matters provides a nice collection of conservatives who really have forgotten:
On yesterday's edition of The Five, Eric Bolling gave a decidedly skewed version of history when he said, "America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time."
In November of 2009, former Bush White House staffer Dana Perino said "we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term."
Mary Matalin, former counselor to Vice President Cheney, claimed in December 2009 that President Bush "inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation's history."
In January of last year, Rudy Giuliani -- who was the mayor of New York City at the time of the 9/11 attacks -- told Good Morning America that "We had no domestic attacks under Bush."
