The Truth, In Full

How misguided do you have to be to demand that a 9/11 documentary be edited to remove real-life profanity spoken by real-life firefighters on the day the real-life Twin Towers fell? What the hell is wrong with people?

I know this effort is being led by the same group that is obsessed with things like the non-existent "war on Christmas" and the threat posed by "homosexual polygamy", but even so I'm shocked.

Imagine a firefighter swearing on 9/11 as he stepped up to potentially sacrifice his life in the service of others. The horror! What will we tell the children?
