Canadian Political Candidate Admits Cheering on 9/11
Kevin Potvin, who runs a magazine store in Vancouver, was acclaimed as the party's candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway. But he has sparked controversy over his column, entitled A Revolting Confession, which was written after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and appeared in his online magazine The Republic.
In the column, he said that "when I saw the first tower cascade down … there was a little voice inside me that said, 'Yeah!'
"When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, 'Beautiful!'
"When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side … I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air."
He added that "whenever I passed a TV or newspaper with a report on the ensuing U.S. war to capture Osama bin Laden, I secretly said to myself, 'Go, Osama, Go!'"

I just don't understand anyone celebrating death and destruction. Sadly, I believe there are many, even in the US who quietly cheered this event.
Even more revolting though, was the lamentations from the leftists who were sad it happened under Bush rather than Clinton. ONLY for his "legacy".
