On bad taste

Leftdog has the definitive roundup of U.S. reaction to the Saskatchewan Party's exploitation of 9/11 for its own fund-raising purposes. But one quote in particular deserves to be highlighted as showing both the view of those closest to the issue, and the gap between the Sask Party's standards and those of effectively everybody else who's commented:
The FDNY (Fire Department of New York) hopes that no one ever forgets what happened on September 11th. However, we do think that the use of images of the attacks for political or monetary gain, like the image on this poster, is in bad taste.
