The latest news on the left’s all out assault on P2911 is that they are planning to launch a full scale PR war against ABC and Disney for deciding to air the film. The starting date? September 12th. My first thought was: why not go ahead and start it on the 11th? Afraid you’ll look ‘insenstive’, far lefties? Don’t bother with the worrying. You already look like insensitive, whiny, stupid jerks who don’t give a damn about the First Amendment right here at the anniversary of the attack that was the catalyst on launching a full-scale war on terror, a war that strives to not only root out the bad guys but also to advance the concept of democracy and a free society, something the far left has proven these last few days they don’t give a damn about, simply because they’re beside themselves with fury because a docudrama about 9-11 apparently paints their boy wonder Bubba and the rest of his adminstration in a bad light. Clinton’s bogus legacy must be preseved at any cost. This is very similar too the far left wanting the US to surrender in Iraq and come home, so the President can suffer a big defeat. America losing face in the world over a surrender means nothing to them, and the far left thinks it’s worth America losing face if it means Bush goes down. Priorities, you know.
Something else about all the hoopla and drama surrounding P2911 that I don’t think has gotten much of a mention is this: the left has never shown any outrage over the fact that Clinton indeed did have opportunities to get OBL, but didn’t take them (as documented here); they’re just upset that those missed opportunities are being preserved for the record on film. Clinton himself admitted that his admin had at least one opportunity to get Binnie but didn’t take it. The left, again, doesn’t care about that. They just care that his incompetency is going to be portrayed for what it is on television for millions of Americans to see. Talk about warped priorities.
A big part of this campaign has not just been to have the movie revised and/or pulled, but to create such a wave of outcry ao as to make those who will be watching the movie tonight have doubts as to whether or not Clinton did indeed let OBL get away. The spin about this docudrama being written by a ‘right winger’ should be muted by the fact that the executive producer is a Clinton (and other Democrats) supporter, but Howard Dean and the other far left moonbats haven’t mentioned that part of the behind the scenes equation. Then again, the far left have never let the facts stand in the way of a good ol’ fashioned rant, have they?
And guess what? The left’s campaign to destroy this movie in its original form is apparently working.
Update I: Here’s a reminder to the idiotic wing of the Democratic party, who keep insisting that what is happening here is no different than what happened over the Reagan movie that upset so many conservatives. Leave it to the idiots to be ignorant as to the differences: mainly, the fact that there were no threats issued to CBS by the Republican party to suspend CBS’ broadcast license, and conservatives didn’t sic any lawyers on CBS trying to have the series pulled. Understand now?
Update II: Ann Althouse slams the lefty bloggers who want to help encourage lawsuits, and furthermore help compile ‘evidence’ for those who want to file lawsuits for the movie:
Oh, yeah, bloggers really ought to want to encourage lawsuits by public figures who think something inaccurate has been said about them. This is the worst case of myopia I’ve seen in my years of blogging. You guys are complete idiots.

If Path to 9/11 is actually shown it will energize the Dem base just like Fahrenheit 9/11 energized ours.
With our struggle to keep control of the House in November and Bush’s low approval ratings are we sure we want to energize them?
This show must be cancelled because of its errors and so we do not energize the Dems so close to the election.

BS. The far left is already ‘energized’ thanks to Ned Lamont’s win last month.
Interesting how you think ABC should ‘cancel’ a miniseries that paints Democrats in a bad light because you worry about energizing them. WHO CARES? Let the truth come out. And the sooner the better.

I don’t think this will engergize them more than they already are. I think this movie is going to be a stumbling block to those who continue to justify Clinton’s do nothing attitude. I think this movie is alot closer to the truth than Micheal Moore has ever been, as some of it is bassed on the 9/11 commission report.
If pressure mounts to a point where ABC pulls this movie, there will be no stopping the blah blah blah BS that will be spouted out of their mouths. Right now Clinton and company are operating out of fear. They are afraid of what we already know. The Clinton admin did nothing about the rise of AQ, and he himself was more interested in playing hide the cigar, than Bin Ladin. I don’t believe this movie is the whole truth, I think this movie is an interpretation of one man’s idea of what went on in the 10 years prior to 9/11/2001.
If all this excitement over this movie is an indication, then I am betting there is something of the truth in there. - Lorica

CC: Aw never mind. Mentos and coke come to mind, when I think of *energizing* the libtards.
Has anyone actually seen the flick yet, in its entirety?

These are not just members of the Democratic party. These are members of the US senate in leadership positions. They also have a certain ammount of coercive authority…or would if they regain the majority.
I defy anybody to name one Republican in any elected capacity who even made a veiled threat regardng CBS’ license. Heck, forget about veiled threats, even a blatant threat. Then talk to me about fascist politicians.

Uhhh…yeah…that’s the same drivel that the liberals are whining about with respect to the War on Terror. Don’t fight them, it’ll just make them mad and create more terrorists! Appease them or it’ll be worse!
Conservative? I don’t think so…

Path to 9/11 Part 1 was about as interesting as watching bread dough rise. Dry and hard to follow.
Hope the docu-drama ABC does on Bush when he leaves office is more interesting (and more accurate).

“Path to 9/11 Part 1 was about as interesting as watching bread dough rise. Dry and hard to follow.”
- Of course it’s “uninteresting” if you’re a Liberal, and tired of trying to make excuse’s for an itinerate skirt chaser whose daliances were probably the chief cause in 2700+ innocent civilians lives. I don’t blame you, but truth like oil, always rises to the surface.
So all your efforts to suppress free speech, and burry the facts just get you more bad PR and disgust from the majority of Americans. It’s simply amazing that the Progessives have so much hubris they think they can actually pull it off with the help of the rabid Liberal drive-by press. Won’t work, but thanks for playing.
- Jackboot suppresion of free speech works on the star chamber blogsites of the Marxist Left, but not in the public arena. Something your damn poly-sci prof’s forgot to tell you.

If the new docudrama is MORE accurate - liberals will REALLY be screaming…..
Now we are debating!
