The no-longer-funny lunatics at Democratic Underground are trying to organize a “Google bombing” of the ABC docudrama The Path to 9/11, because it makes their cognitive dissonance flare up (and we all know how painful that can be): The Great 2006 Google/Technorati 9-11 movie info bomb! (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin.)
(LGF has been the target of similar attacks.)
UPDATE at 9/6/06 7:34:40 pm:
And it isn’t just the nuts at Democratic Underground. Forwarded by a reader, here’s the email being sent out to the membership of the Democratic National Committee (I replaced our reader’s name with “lizardoid operative” to protect his/her identity):

Sounds like they are trying to create another 'plame affair'.
MSNBC is trying to get ABC to squash the film.
"STATE DEPT MEMO: DEATH OF US SAILORS DOES NOT COMPARE TO PALESTINIAN TOLL
The United States State Department believes the "17 or so dead sailors" on the U.S.S. Cole "does not compare to the 100+ Palestinians who have died in recent weeks" in Mideast violence, a stunning government memo reveals.

The Clinton/Gore Administration disapproved a VOICE OF AMERICA broadcast condemning the attack on the Cole. A memo from the Executive Secretariat Staff at the State Department stated:
"The Department of State does not clear on the referenced VOA editorial.
"This editorial will reach an audience that is caught up in the violence in Israel and the Occupied Territories. The 17 or so dead sailors does not compare to the 100+ Palestinians who have died in recent weeks where we have remained silent. The people that hear this will not see the separation we are trying to make and relate it directly to the violence. "S/CT [Secy. for counterterrorism] concurred with this. If you have questions concerning this editorial, please contact NEA/P (unintelligible) FROM: Swadia Sarkis, Interagency Coordinator TO: Voice of America (VOA), Office of Policy RE: VOA Editorial: Terrorism Will Fail OCTOBER 16, 2000"
Everyone should get as many people as they can to watch this. Are we to trust the word of Sandy Burgler and Bubba?
LOL, the DUmmies and Huffpo's are going nuts, and I just love baiting them.
MSNBC? What's that???
That would be like Daimler-Chrysler trying to get Ford to stop selling Mustangs.........
"But we still know enough, thanks to news accounts and crack research, to fact check “The Path to 9/11” as a biased, irresponsible mess. Here’s what you need to know:Richard Clarke — the counterterrorism czar for the Clinton administration, now himself a consultant to ABC News — describes a key scene in “The Path to 9/11” as “180 degrees from what happened.” In the scene, a CIA field agent places a phone call to get the go ahead to kill Osama Bin Laden, then in his sights, only to have a senior Clinton administration official refuse and hang up the phone. Sandy Berger, President Clinton’s National Security Advisor, called the same scene “a total fabrication. It did not happen.” And Roger Cressey, a top Bush and Clinton counterterrorism official, said it was “something straight out of Disney and fantasyland. It’s factually wrong. And that’s shameful.”
Another scene revives the old right-wing myth that press reporting made it impossible to track Osama bin Laden, accusing the Washington Post of blowing the secret that American intelligence tracked his satellite phone calls. In reality, responsibility for that blunder — contrary to “The Path to 9/11” — rests with none other than the arch-conservative Washington Times.
The former National Security Council head of counterterrorism says that President Clinton “approved every request made of him by the CIA and the U.S. military involving using force against bin Laden and al-Qaeda,” and the 9/11 report says the CIA had full authority from President Clinton to strike Bin Laden. Yet chief “Path to 9/11” scriptwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh, a friend of Rush Limbaugh, says the miniseries shows how President Clinton had “frequent opportunities in the ‘90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks — but lacked the will to do so.”
ABC asked only the Republican co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, Tom Kean, Sr., to advise the makers of “The Path to 9/11”. The producers optioned two books, one written by a Bush administration political appointee, as the basis of the screenplay — yet bill the miniseries as “based on the 9/11 Commission Report.”
This is a picture of bias — a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11 to blame Democrats, just in time for the election."
Look on their website and you'll find exactly the reaction.
Most Sorry News Broadcasting Company.......
The Path to 9/11 (ABC takes the heat?)http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1697020/posts
Amazing, the lengths the solons of free speech will go, to see that that a dissenting point of view is not heard.
Yeah, ABC / Disney is so full of conservatives it's absolutely Nazi -like.............
They're trying their hardest by trotting out their Democrat sponsors to claim it's defamation and libel.
But we still know enough, thanks to news accounts and crack research, to fact check “The Path to 9/11” as a biased, irresponsible mess. Here’s what you need to know:
This explains the reaction of the democrats. the Marion Barry wing of the party has been doing the research!!!
"It's just a movie."
Remember Farenheit 911? Payback time. Truth hurts.
