Having traveled in the Soviet Union several times, I got used to reading the headlines in Pravda, Novosti, etc. The wording used by apparatchiks in those days of Stalinist repression are now being echoed by the Democratic National Committee on its website. The DNC is frothing at the mouth in the hopes of stifling freedom of expression -- a TV show, namely ABC's "The Path To 911." What's really frightening is that the Democratic Senate leadership has threatened to revoke ABC's broadcast license if it doesn't censor the 911 drama. Here is the DNC in its own words -- proving that the mini-series has hit too close to home:
A Despicable, Irresponsible Fraud
Does a major national broadcast network want to stain itself by presenting an irresponsible, slanderous, fraudulent, "docu-drama" to the American public? "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. Help keep this propaganda off the air. Read more..."Keep "Path to 9/11" Propaganda Film Off The Air...
Keep a TV show off the air in the home of the free, land of the brave? And this is being advocated by a party that calls itself "democratic?" Here is the Democrats' not so veiled threat to ABC:
Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation.The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events.
This is state censorship and the democrats can not compete in the marketplace of ideals.
I'm just hoping that ABC doesn't cave -- market or not.
the Dems always admired the Soviets ability to control the airwaves and make all decisions for the good of the people.
When I see video of the planes hitting the towers I get so mad I could throw a thrombo. Cliton and his friggin libido were asleep at the wheel during the rise of this Izlamofascism. Such a disgraced puke punk thug dog our esteemed hillbilly prez.
3000 died because you wanted another BJ. It was Moanicas gift that kept on giving and giving. I hope you and your scuzzy ilk are haunted til you die.
ABC already caved and is editing. Now nobody should see it.
And nearly half of America would like to elect another good time Charle for President.
John (IWIVN) Kerry, Algore, I would go screaming into the night.
Letter of support to ABC for airing "Path to 9-11"?
DONE!
Copy of letter sent:
Dear ABC:
Regarding "Path to 9-11"
THIS DISNEY STOCKHOLDER says ...STAND FAST!!!!
I have phoned my US Senator , Chuck Schumer, to express my total and utter DISGUST for his repulsive gangster-like attempt , along with a few other US Senators, to intimidate ABC into cancelling or editing the movie to death. I told his aide that I don't appreciate my US Senator acting like a fascist suppresser of free speech he doesn't like.
Air the movie..without editing that changes its substance!!
Birth of a tag line.
Wolfie just had Sandy Burg(l)er on; I had sent WOlfie an email asking him to find out exactly what documents Sandy stole from the national archives and why? And doesn't this mean that we will never really know exactly what happened, because Sandy was stealing some very incriminating evidence. Of course, Wolfie didn't bother to ask. Now, Wolfie is going to talk about the embarrasment of Gov Schwartzenegger(sp), but never referred to the embarrasment of Sandy. LOL; CNN is a joke.
Yes. CNN is a remnant of its inception.
Found this post on DU. Looks like the whole DNC is getting involved.

It sounds to me like the ABC KY Cowboys have already caved to the Politburo at the DNC. I don't care whether they show this thing or not. ABC screwed up when they tried to portray that bumbling, blithering idiot Sandy Burglar as a bumbling, blithering idiot. They should have known that their masters down at the DNC wouldn't stand for it.
Da! Great job, Comrades!
