Morning Updates
The Families of 9/11 came out with a statement:
Congresswoman Slaughter and Congressman Pascrell are calling a press conference today titled 'Slaughter and Pascrell to Call on Scholastic and ABC to Keep 9-11 Docudrama Out of Schools'.
ABC affiliates are on the run, and now the movie is apparently in its final stage of edits. Interesting how they sent out advance copies at least a week ago, and now the movie is suddenly still in production.
As we mark five years since 9/11, we are inundated with the media's portrayal of that tragic day. Television miniseries, Hollywood films, comic books and countless "documentaries" are dramatizing and sometimes distorting the events leading up to and happening on 9/11.Bill Clinton is furious.
Families of September 11 believes the best way to honor those who were lost is to make sure that what happened to them never happens again. As such, we must understand exactly what took place, and not allow "entertainers" to promote misleading or incorrect information as fact to the public.
If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Any depiction of 9/11 that is not accurate and factual propagates myths, myths that may cause us future harm.

When do the lawsuits start?
Boy, THAT would deep six this project -- nothing like the threat of loss of millions of dollars in punitive damages to curtail "artistic integrity"!
When you google "Disney", you should get "Boycott", "Racism", "Nazis" etc...
Contact your local ABC affiliate and tell them you will no longer watch ABC programming of ANY sort, nor will you purchase from any ABC advertiser. Then, contact your local NBC and CBS affiliate and introduce yourself to them as a new viewer and tell them why. Copy ABC in your email.
FAX to these major ABC contributors: AT&T, Cingular, Ford, Toyota, Procter & Gamble, Unilever Suave, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures.
Well, I'm proud to say that Congressman Pascrell represents my district in northern NJ. I just called his DC office and the word is that the press conference is supposed to occur around 4:15 EST.
All ABC affiliates are now talking from the same talking points. They are staking their survival on this one piece of propaganda. It's clear now that they are all one and the same. Time to abandon ship...all things Disney/ABC stinks to high heaven. Do we really need ANOTHER Fox?
In response to the recent criticism ABC is now apparently claiming that this is a dramatization meant to be entertainment.
HOW DARE THEY! I am furious that ABC would make an "entertainment" out of one of the horrible events in our nation's history. There is nothing "entertaining" about 9/11. Why would ABC do this? Simply for ratings and hence, money? This is completely sickening, to try to profit from the suffering, trauma, and murder of thousands of Americans.
But I suspect that there is an even more reprehensible motive. The Path to 9/11 was being pitched as educational, with educational materials being made available to schools — educational materials that are filled with "fabrications", which are "false and defamatory", and are full of "errors and mischaracterizations". Hugh Hewitt of townhall.com claims that ABC has told him that minor changes have been made but "- The average viewer would not be able to tell the difference between the two versions. - The message of the Clinton Admin failures remains fully intact."
I can only concluded that this piece of fiction has been produced as propaganda to smear Bill Clinton and blame his party on the eve of an important election. This kind of blatant political manipulation of the facts surrounding the tragedy of 9/11 is on a par with the tactics used by the Nazi Party and their propaganda wing in the 1930s.
Although ABC has many fine programs, I am now blocking it on our televisions. Peter Jennings must be turning in his grave.
On display for your amusement, observe the political left's use of economic extortion tactics to get their warped version of reality generally accepted as the truth.
Bill Clinton failed to deal with Al Qaeda. Your forming your diaphragms in a circle in a feeble effort to protect him will not work.
Being an apologist and excuse maker for a failed President like Clinton is a sad and pathetic way of life.
If they cancel airing of the film, they will spin it as "Democrats suppressing the truth again!", they will sell VHS and DVD copies online for a buck, and they will capitalize on the "craving for banned material" effect. They will use it to whip their base into a voting frenzy, underdog victims that they are...
Still, they will lose.
This kind of blatant political manipulation of the facts surrounding the tragedy of 9/11 is on a par with the tactics used by the Nazi Party and their propaganda wing in the 1930s.
Paging Mr. Moore. Paging Mr Mikey Moore. "Fahrenheit 911" anyone?
Who is paying? The question must be answered. Clearly millions have been spent on production and millions more are being spent on uninterrupted air time. This is a campaign contribution. Name the contributors.
I think 911 is a crock. The WTC was full of Asbestos. The Pentagon had just been remodeled? PNAC needed a 'New Pearl Harbor'! I look forward to seeing the entire US Government and its Corporate Media brought to justice. The USA has turned fascist. Post American
Fluff up the feather pillows, heat up the black tar, get a lot of rope
Sounds to me like "hit dog barks".

Is there a potential campaign-law violation angle to this? To this non-expert, it seems that an argument could be made that this is an in-kind Republican campaign contribution from Disney/ABC, coming just 2 months before the election and especially since it's not supported by advertising and obviously cost big bucks to make. Are there any election law experts working this issue?
"Fahrenheit 911"...CBS memogate...Valerie Plame affair...
Do you think any election law experts worked those issues?
Bill Clinton failed to deal with Al Qaeda. Richard Clarke failed to deal with Al Qaeda. This entire blog is an attempt at using economic extortion to force others to accept a warped and twisted view of reality. This entire blog is about pandering, apologizing and making excuses for Bill Clinton. You can put lip stick and high heels on a pig. In the end, it is still a pig.

The Dixie Chicks.
You rw's weren't complaining about your strongarm economic tactics then,were you?
BTW godzhillary:
Boo frickin' hoo.
Our economic extortion is nothign compared to you frightwingers and your "moral majority".
Or should I say,"oral majority". Ya'll keep sayin' it,but the polls keep denyin' it,lol.
Our economic extortion is nothing compared to you frightwingers and your "moral majority".
I am happy to see that you admit that the left uses economic extortion to force others to accept their slant on history as fact.
Answer this...why do you believe Richard Clarke, Sandy Berger, Madeline Albright and Bill Clinton? What is it in their track record that makes them believable? How do you know what the truth is?
I will admit that I do not know for certain the truth regarding the issues in this movie. You need to admit tat you do not know either.
What I do know is that I do not believe Clarke, Berger, Albright or Clinton. I do not believe GW Bush either, but he is not complaining about this film.

And I am not suprised you won't admit that Neocons are the masters of it. You forced the Reagans off,yes? F-9/11 was force dropped,yes? And all over YOUR bitching. And now you want to stand on some moral high ground and toss off about how we're censoring this piece of garbage? Puhleease.

Umm...lesse...9/11 commission report? What makes you think that ABC's,or should we say Nowratesh and Keane's version of history is right? Because it helps Bushco? Damn the findings of the commission,eh? Kind of funny isn't it,you don't even have the commission to rely on,eh?
I will admit that I do not know for certain the truth regarding the issues in this movie. You need to admit tat you do not know either.
never said I did chap. I do know what the 9/11 commission report says though,and that the commission knows one heck of a lot more than you or I do. If you don't know that this smear is truthful,why not read the report that the movie is billed as being based on? Why not find out?
And if you already know what the report says,why are you obfuscating with the truth and supporting an obvious propaganda piece?
Excuse me if I believe the commission before I belive you.
What I do know is that I do not believe Clarke, Berger, Albright or Clinton. I do not believe GW Bush either, but he is not complaining about this film.
I'm not expecting you to believe "Clarke, Berger, Albright or Clinton". I do however,expect people to believe the commission report,on which this 'film'(used in place of trash) is supposedly based.
As far as Bush,why should he complain? It's attempting to absolve him of his screwups and place the blame on someone else. It's a core Bush administration tactic.
Iraq going bad? Blame the "liberal media". Got soldiers breaking Geneva conventions on executive orders? Blame the "liberal media". 9/11? Blame Clinton. Katrina? Blame everybody else.
That is the way Bush operates. Adn everyone sees it. Hence,the bottom dragging poll numbers and the lack of a surge in his numbers when he 'exposes' another supposed terror cell.
So no,I don't find any of it credible. I believe the report,adn the report says this is crap.
