It’s so funny how all you lefties went out and bought into the Michael Moore propaganda and lies with “Fahrenheit 9/11″ but now that someone produces a somewhat less distasteful smear against your hero you’re all freaking out and demanding censorship. You’re a pathetic bunch of hypocrites.

Comrades Bravo!

These traitors at ABC are betrayers of our new mother land. Where I come from, this Robert A. Iger would be dragged through the streets in front of the tomb of our glorious leader Vladimir Lenin and shot in public. The producers, directors, writers and anyone associated with this propaganda would be picked up in the early hours of the morning by our State Security Chief Lavrenty Beria (The Black Hand) and taken to a Siberian labor camp never too be heard from again.

For many years I have been loyal to ABC and the Pravda (truth) that our Socialist Liberal ally has put forth in order to progress our ultimate goal; the decline and absolute destruction of America and the capitalist traitorous pigâ€™s like ABC.

I ask you Mr. Robert A. Iger, â€œHave you no shame Sirâ€?

Comrades, we must not give up the fight. It has taken us many years to groom you and your elected leaders.

Remember what our great leader Nikita Khrushchev said:

â€œ We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism ”

Itâ€™s more important now then ever before that we stand together and stay focused! We can not allow this abomination of propaganda to go forward.

We must do whatever it takes to keep this film from airing on Sunday the 10th, 2006, we only have a few hours left.

It is your duty as loyal Liberal Socialist Democrats to rise up in solidarity and put a stop to this immediately!

Senator Harry Reid, one of our courageous and distinguished Senatorial leaders from the state of Nevada, reminded the capitalist traitorous pigs at ABC of their license from the FCC. Please Senator Reid, weâ€™re your loyal comrades in arms and begging you to use all the glorious power you possess. You must stop this film! You must push forward with an iron fist and crush this despicable display of propaganda.

If this film isnâ€™t stopped from airing on ABC, Sunday night, Iâ€™m afraid all our efforts since the cold war and the aspirations of our great leaders from glorious years past and Nikita Khrushchevâ€™s dreams and predictions will have been lost.

If we loose now, the great Liberal Socialist Democratic Party, we have nurtured, will decline into the ash heaps of history never too be heard from again.

You must!…. I repeat, you must contact our comrades in arms at their offices in Washington.

Now Iâ€™ve done all the work all you have to do is contact our comrades below by e-mail or call:

You have just exposed yourself as a liar by your second example. I don’t have to discredit the rest, because one lie is enough.

1993 attacks; Bill Clinton and the CIA hunted down and captured ALL of the terrorists involved. Bin Laden was only a peripheral figure in that WTC bombing.

I would not call that “no response.”

#80, Perry that’s the point. Fascists know what the “facts” are but those facts get in the way of their “propoganda”. So they LIE and distort. When confronted with “facts” they will smear the person arguing as a traitor, insane, a troublemaker, etc. Nazi playbook.

# Bill Clinton brought perpetrators of first World Trade Center bombing and CIA killings to justice.
# Bill Clinton did not blame the Bush I administration for first World Trade Center bombing even though it occurred 38 days after Bush left office. Instead, worked hard, even obsessively — and successfully — to stop future terrorist attacks.
# Bill Clinton named the Hart-Rudman commission to report on nature of terrorist threats and major steps to be taken to combat terrorism.
# Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to tighten airport security. (Remember, this is before 911) The legislation was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the airlines.
# Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to allow for better tracking of terrorist funding. It was defeated by Republicans in the Senate because of opposition from banking interests.
# Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to add tagents to explosives, to allow for better tracking of explosives used by terrorists. It was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the NRA.
# Bill Clinton increased the military budget by an average of 14 per cent, reversing the trend under Bush I.
# Bill Clinton tripled the budget of the FBI for counterterrorism and doubled overall funding for counterterrorism.
# Bill Clinton detected and destroyed cells of Al Qaeda in over 20 countries.
# Bill Clinton created national stockpile of drugs and vaccines including 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine.
# Of Clinton’s efforts says Robert Oakley, Reagan Ambassador for Counterterrorism: “Overall, I give them very high marks” and “The only major criticism I have is the obsession with Osama”.
# Paul Bremer, current Civilian Administrator of Iraq disagrees slightly with Robert Oakley as he believed the Bill Clinton Administration had “correctly focused on bin Laden.
# Barton Gellman in the Washington Post put it best, “By any measure available, Bill Clinton left office having given greater priority to terrorism than any president before him” and was the “first administration to undertake a systematic anti-terrorist effort”.

I would like to add… that that “moment in the back room” that may or may not have consisted of a “blow job” didn’t cost me a red cent… unlike the other well financed blow jobs given to this administration that are costing my kids a bundle.

Irony… yes, even if there is a glimmer of truth that the Monica distracted the government from doing it’s job, is that the Democrats or the Republicans fault? one moment in a back room vers. millions of dollars spent on bullshite when there’s really more important things to worry about? who ya gonna blame?

President Clinton handled terrorists attacks poorly. He should have done more to protect our great country. He may not have not been able to prevent 911, but he should have taken a firmer approach against acts of terrorism and those behind such actions.

You know I find it difficult to believe people like Tony above pretend to argue in good conscience, when the whole basis of the “docudrama” is taking REAL people and showing them doing things, things that cost other people’s lives, things they NEVER did. It’s slander. It’s RUINING someone else’s reputation. And when you lie about it to the general public and say “It’s factual” when you know damn well it’s not, I find it difficult to understand the “relativistic ethics” people like Tony have that say, well just because it’s a lie, slanders good people and sullies their reputations , well I believe that it should be shown anyway. You can’t show a “reality” TV show that names famous people and in essense call them murderers, no you can’t.

#72, dissent is not censorship. “No war for Monica” is a republican mantra. I can understand your confusion with understanding The Path to 9-11 is not factual since your gods at the Christo-fascist republican party have told you it is, and you have no actual mind of your own.

[...] The frenzy over the ABC TV movie extravaganza cannot possibly get hotter—with Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger now applying considerable pressure on Tom Kean by suggesting that his endorsement of the movie endangers the credibility of the sacred 9/11 Commission (of which he was a member). The dramatic impact of a costly but carelessly produced film will invariably overwhelm the impression of any government document. [...]

Simple facts under Clinton:

–1992 American marines killed in Yeman by Osama Bin Laden, no response
–1993 1st bombing of WTC, no response
–1996 Khobar Towers, no reponse
–1998 Bombings of American Ebassies in Kenya and Tanzania, no response
–2000 Attack on USS Cole, big investigation, no response

After all of these attacks, the Clinton administration failed to bring Bin Laden to justice, even when he was offered up on a platter in 1996 by the Sudanese government. I contend the Clinton Administration practice of appeasement increased the threat of terror to the United States, leading to the attacks on 9/11.
ABC should not cave under the pressure from the Democratic party and Bill Clinton’s staff. The American public has the right to see the movie in it’s original form, not censored by a political party.
And for all of you that will assume that I am a right winger, I am just as interested in night 2 when the movie shifts it’s focus on the Bush Administration.

Robert A. Iger should be applauded for his courage. The vailed threats and innuendos in the letter from Mr. Reid and other Democratics are disgusting and indicative of their continued disrespect for the American people’s ability to make up their own minds regardless of the shadows cast on those portrayed in “Path to 9/11″. Mr. Tetsuro makes his point very well and should be heeded. “The Reagans” was pulled, but shown later on Showtime and Fehrenheit 911 was broadcast (talk about lies and misrepresentations), so let this series roll and give Mr. Iger the Medal of Honor.

If leftists are able to threaten ABC into censorship of this movie, the first amendment means nothing. This is truly scary! If this kind of hysterical tactic is allowed to work, nothing will be off limits in the future. Our democracy is doomed. We will be allowed to see only what leftist want us to see.

The first amendment and many others have already been reduced to almost nothing by the right and the lame lefts that went along with it. As it is, we only see what 3 or so parent companies deem is ‘good for the viewing public’. THis is the future and nothign is off limits. Therefore, i see nothing wrong with the PEOPLE having a say.

If you’re not on the side of the American people, then you, my friend, are a terrorists. I got your ‘with us or against us’ right here. Go wait by the fax machine for your next set of talking points to counter the free thought and will of the non-scum citizens.

In February 1999, Allen proposed flying a U-2 mission over Afghanistan to build a baseline of intelligence outside the areas where the tribals had coverage. Clarke was nervous about such a mission because he continued to fear that Bin Ladin might leave for someplace less accessible. He wrote Deputy National Security Advisor Donald Kerrick that one reliable source reported Bin Ladinâ€™s having met with Iraqi officials, who â€œmay have offered him asylum.â€ Other intelligence sources said that some Taliban leaders, though not Mullah Omar, had urged Bin Ladin to go to Iraq. If Bin Ladin actually moved to Iraq, wrote Clarke, his network would be at Saddam Husseinâ€™s service, and it would be â€œvirtually impossibleâ€ to find him. Better to get Bin Ladin in Afghanistan, Clarke declared. Berger suggested sending one U-2 flight,but Clarke opposed even this. It would require Pakistani approval, he wrote; and â€œPak[istanâ€™s] intel[ligence service] is in bed withâ€ Bin Ladin and would warn him that the United States was getting ready for a bombing campaign: â€œArmed with that knowledge, old wily Usama will likely boogie to Baghdad.â€ Though told also by Bruce Riedel of the NSC staff that Saddam Hussein wanted Bin Ladin in Baghdad, Berger conditionally authorized a single U-2 flight. Allen meanwhile had found other ways of getting the information he wanted. So the U-2 flight never occurred.

Meanwhile, the conservative groups are planning to flood the FCC with complaints if CBS airs a documentary (no fiction, real footage) of 911 that has ALREADY aired before if they keep the swear words in.
In other words, if a fireman, responding to the horror, said an off color word, they’re telling CBS that it has to be edited, or they will protest.

Tell me honestly, which action is really censorship??

I can’t believe folks are accepting the RNC or DNC talking points BEFORE viewing the film. Isn’t anyone able to make up their own minds anymore?

If this film is nothing but fabrications, it will backlash on the Republicans. Much like Farenheit 911 backlashed on the Democrats in 2004. People don’t like being lied to.

The best thing for the DNC is to let the movie air, and then publically debate the errors afterwards. That’ll kill the GOP.

OK. Once more, with emphasis.

Interestingly enough, Saddam considered al-Qaida a threat, not a friend. Isn’t this a little different than what Emperor Bush and his Cabal of Rabid NeoKons have been saying?

[from: news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060908/ap_on_go_co/iraq_report ]

Saddam Hussein regarded al-Qaida as a threat rather than a possible ally, a Senate report says, contradicting assertions
President Bush has used to build support for the war in
Iraq.

Released Friday, the report discloses for the first time an October 2005
CIA assessment that before the war, Saddam’s government “did not have a relationship, harbor or turn a blind eye toward” al-Qaida operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi or his associates…

Can we now have the Emperor and his Court arrested, tried, and jailed for treason? Isn’t it beyond time that the Bush Crime Family paid for their greed and deception?
