Disney/ABC is lapping up all this free publicity for their miniseries. They know that controversy like this will greatly increase the viewership of the program.

People won't care about the threat unless it comes true. We have ALL been waiting for the third season of Lost. /s

I wonder what the outrage would be if they showed how the Clinton administration supported al Qaeda operations in Bosnia and KosovO.

The dems did the same thing to Sinclair Media during the Kerry campaign.

It worked then, why not try it again?

Where was the democRats outrage to the inaccurate and misleading statements when Michael Moore released Fahrenheit 911?

Like I said a week ago, if it's being shown on ABC the final product will be either modified to conform to the wishes of the democrats or won't be shown at all.

I think that the best thing that could happen with "The Path to 9/11" is for it to be either shown on cable with not changes or for another network (are you listening FOX?) to buy it from ABC and show the entire film with no changes.

It sounds like the ABC "docu-drama" does have scenes that are "false but accurate".

They should present the absolute truth where we know it. That would make it a more effective indictment of the guilty.

While I DON'T support the "historization of fictionalization" (I just invented that), this move by the Democrats, frankly, has stunned me. And I say that as a former Democrat myself. I cannot BELIEVE that my former party would stoop to that level.

I can imagine the outcry by conservatives if something like this were done to a Republican President (so many examples to choose from here...), but I never would expect the Republicans in Congress to unleash such a threat. They never did, as far as I can remember, over many such falacious TV shows and movies.

All I can say is that, though I still believe ALL politics to be a dirty game between two teams of whores, there is CLEARLY one that is worse than the other. CLEARLY. I don't know about you all, but the "broken glass Republican" in me has risen again!

Regardless of Who does/says What,
that movie in its uncut version is
headed for a private sale and will
resurface later. The Dems have merely
escalated the going price. Besides,
with all the detailed hoopla about
what scenes are being cut to salve
the egos of Clintonista aides/cronies,
what voting citizen, even a Democrat,
is going to see the edited version and
not be able to phantasize the original
statements?

What surprises me is the fact NO ONE
as yet has cited Hillary's run for
the Oval Office as the real reason
behind the MAKING of this movie as
well as the OBJECTIONS to it! Maybe
that's election food fare for later
in 2007?

This will be the first time since 9-11 that the American public will be watching the exact same interpretation of the events since that day. Most people don't watch the Presidential debates, and the cable news channels have small audiences. People get their info from various sources, but the reason this dramatization is so incredibly important is because it is the first ARTIFACT since 9/11 that can be discussed as a whole--no "I saw this on FOX,' or "Well, according to a guy I saw on CNN..."

This will be a monumental event. I don't think it's exagerration to say this could swing the November election, because, let's face it, most voters are not news junkies like we are, and it's been shown that most get their 'news" from Leno and John Stewart--infotainment, not hard news sources. People who want to get up to speed on 9/11 facts but don't want to read books will watch this and feel they know a lot about what led to 9/11.

That's why this is so very important. If Bush comes off looking derelect in his duty, we could be in some trouble, but it's possible the Bush-hatred has reached a saturation point. The Dems, and Clinton, have been riding a wave of ignorance and MSM covering-up of the Clinton Administration's total lack of effort to prevent Al Qaeda's rise. And this could shift things just enough--a few thousand votes here and there--to spell catastrophe for the Dems.

It could do nothing, or it could affect the election. But there is more danger here for the Dems than for the Republicans.

This is actually great news in the long run....the Dems unwillingness/inability to constructively participate in the greatest debate of the new century effectively ends their political leadership...probably permanently...probably even as a functional party. Watching the Dems atrophy under Clinton leadership through the '90's, I nevere figured he'd completely kill it off...but he/she finally have. The treasonous and cowardly among us are labeled and identified.

This convulsion is happening because the rats just launched their theme to get congress back this year and Hill in 2008. That theme depends of americans foggy forgetfulness of how inadequate the rats were in defending america. They almost got the public to believe that pubs are making them less safe. Almost. And noone in Hill's army wants monica or Bill Vs. OBL brought up.

Can the DNC, these senators, be prosecuted by Disney? Or be prosecuted by the American Public?

What is the legal recourse? How do we hold them accountable?

The Constitution guarantees that only flattering things can be said about Democrat/liberals.

Otherwise, it might hurt their feelings, and they could suffer from irreparable low self-esteem.

The Democrat party has a long history of corruption, murder, jack-booted beatings and stalking of opponents and critics (saw some of that under the Clintonista reign of terror), voter fraud, mob ties, working feverishly to get felons into the voting booth, working day and night to tear down the nation and fabric, terrorist supporting and sympathizing and now they are even further to the Hate-America-Left. They try as hard as they can to keep their true agendas and ideologies hidden, but it just doesn't hold up to the light of facts and truth.

Very good framing of the real issue here.

Also, you could add the Kerry campaign legal maneuvers against the Swift Boat Vets..
