Democrats Change Their Minds on Censorship


Right now you are probably wondering what that stack of paper is? Give up? It's the first run of 120,000 petitions to censor the ABC production, "Path to 9/11". Before the special has even aired, Clinton Democrats are coming out of the woodwork to attempt to stop ABC from doing so. The fact that the special admits to "dramatization" of certain events is not only undisputed, but is stated in a disclaimer the mini-series makes in the opening credits.

Now, I agree that people should not take this mini-series at face value. If they want an in-depth study of the events and circumstances which led to the 9/11 attacks, they need to read the 9/11 commission's report. I think that there will be a lot of factual content incorporated into the mini-series. Even though the Chairman of the 9/11 commission worked with the director of the mni-series as an advisor, it would be irresponsible to take the mini-series at face value. So what are the Clinton democrats worried about? They are worried about more than certain scenes in the movie being dramatized, they are worried that the movie will show the fact that the Clinton Administration dropped the ball on Bin Laden and encouraged, through their policies, the terrorist attack on 9/11. It is all in the 9/11 Commission's report.

The Head of the Clinton Foundation, Bruce Lindsey, and one-time Clinton advisor Doug Band stated, "The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known". Where were these protectors of truth when the factually challenged Michael Moore released his "documentary" on 9/11? Perhaps Clinton's minions didn't feel the need to fight Michael Moore's baseless shockumentary because they were on his payroll. Clinton spin-specialists Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani, dubbed the "Masters of Disaster" for their ability to spin their way out of anything, were hired by Moore to fight off critics of the film. Also on Moore's payroll was prominant decmocrat Mario Cuomo, who was hired to fight the 'R' rating so more young people would see the movie.

These calls to censor the ABC special are not attempts to protect the public from deceit. The mini-series is not a documentary and has neverproclaimed to be such, unlike Moore's movie. What the Clinton aides are worried about is the same thing Clinton himself has been worried about for the past 14 years, his legacy...

Hi'
MR Military man.
Have been reading your blogg.

I have not watch the film, but I have read hes book.

I think when they do a film of something like that it never tell the whole true story.

Glad to hear you enjoy the BLOG Fancy! I agree with what you said. It reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite movies, Braveheart, "History was written by those who have hanged heroes".

Please feel free to offer your opinion on American Politics, it would be interesting to have a point of view other than that of an American.
