Right-Wing ‘Path to 9/11′ receives 6 7 Emmy nominations.»

ABC’s miniseries The Path to 9/11 has now been nominated for six seven Emmy awards. This “docudrama” was rife with historical inaccuracies that blamed President Clinton for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, while heaping praise on President Bush. It was written by avowed conservative Cyrus Nowrasteh, who once spoke on a panel entitled: “Rebels With A Cause: How Conservatives Can Lead Hollywood’s Next Paradigm Shift.”

    Maybe Nowrastah will get a medal as well.


  2. CT_V1 Says:

    Another losing day for leftinites.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!


  3. Mr.President Says:

    More from Hollywood’s liberal elite.


  4. Grand Moff Texan Says:

    “Rebels With A Cause: How Conservatives Can Lead Hollywood’s Next Paradigm Shift.”

    By bringing FOX News quality fiction to … fiction?

    Sounds like flooding the sewer to me.

  5. Troll Says:

    Complain all you want about the emmy nominations. The dems have betrayed our troops and the will of the American people by funding this war.


  6. CT_ V1 Says:

    Choke on that, lefties.


  7. Mr. President's Tube Sock Says:

    Mr. President watched “Path to 9/11″ all by himself, clapping and cheering. I remember he dropped a Dorito in the cat box, and picked it up and ate it. I swear, if I had a gastrointestinal system, I woulda thrown up.


  8. Marie Says:

    So much for the claim that all of Hollywood is liberal.

    Perhaps this piece of historical inaccuracies and fabrications will be eliminated from the competition; Nowrasteh will have to be consoled with Bush’s medal of Freedom.


  9. CT_ V1 Says:

    Who’s afraid of the truth?


  10. Neon Bunny Says:

    That famous left wing media bias again. You know, the one liberals can’t find anywhere on TV.


  11. Buch Fush Says:

    Choke on your own bile CT_V1 you scum sucking repukian turd. It will not win anything, by the way.
    Because of the piece of propaganda, ABC is also blocked out of my cable, and also a radio station I used to listen too, I no longer listen too, and it also made me happen to find Air America by mistake, and glad I did find it.


  12. Mr.President Says:

    And the winner of the Emmy for best docudrama is . . .


  13. AJB Says:

    I hate it how Hollyweird leftists always reward their own…

    …hey wait.


  14. spit take Says:

    Interesting how dismissive the trolls were about Al Gore and Michael Moore winning Oscars, but they rush to embrace these Emmy nominations as if they prove… something.

    Jeezus, they’re like Sally Field crying at the podium — “you like me! you really like me!”

    It’s kind of hilarious.


  15. Grand Moff Texan Says:

    Who’s afraid of the truth?

    Cyrus Nowrasteh, apparently.

    C’mon Marie it will not actually win. You know that.


  17. JT Says:

    “Critiqued” Clinton and “heaped praise” on Bush?…

    Um… I don’t think so. It was a well-done miniseries that barely mentioned Bush, so I don’t see how it “heaped praise” on him. As for Clinton, the miniseries showed how the Clinton administration’s policies of appeasement kill us all.

    During the time of appeasement, our enemies were emboldened. Now, as the latest intelligence and NIE report states, the terrorists now view the U.S. as more secure than ever.

    Bottom line: quit being a shill for either the Dems or the Repubs and use your own brain.

    Apparently, C**T V1 is the one who’s afraid of the truth, since whenever it’s shown to him here, he averts his eyes.

    Poor little C**T.


  21. Ringo Says:

    There was nothing Right-Wing about it, unless you consider a well made, factual account of the events that preceded the attacks of 9/11 to be Right-Wing.

    How many of you actually watched the film?


  22. JT Says:

    Buch Fush :

    Your refusal to listen to any viewpoints or opinions that don’t mesh with your very narrow views illustrate what is wrong with your ilk. How can you form a rational opinion if you shut everything that you disagree with? Surely you don’t believe that you are the ultimate arbitrator of all that is right and wrong. Thanks for the chuckles with your silly post.

  34. Geekmouth Says:

    There goes that Liberal Hollywood again… they must have felt sorry for the poor, rightwing “docudrama” so they nominated it to make conservatives feel better. You know conservatives always say that just being nominated makes you a winner - wait, no they don’t.

    Actually, the nominations are for technical disciplines like cinematography and editing so presumably the people who have earned the nominations are union members and “Hollywood liberals” who did their jobs.

    Now the wingers will have to decide - do they root for Path to 9/11, even if it means they are hoping that union members get Emmys, or do they keep opposing Hollywood?

    It’s enough to make a winger’s head explode - and to make me laugh.

    Geekmouth


  35. gummitch Says:

    The Emmys continue to be a joke. Look at all the nominations for Grey’s Anatomy, for cripes’ sake. Blech.

    Do I see Friday Night Lights nominated for best drama? No, I do not. Pfui to the Emmys.


    None of these nominations have anything to do with the actual content of the movie.

  41. Bruce Gorton Says:

    JT

    We refuse to listen to viewpoints founded on lies - that is the real problem we have with “Path to 9/11″ it was total bullshit - complete with scenes which never happened.

    Of course you righties love, and adore, and absolutely get off on, being lied to so obviously, you aren’t going to check the facts on the movie yourself.


  42. veritas Says:

    #39 Who’s afraid of the Truth? Anyone who has a vested interest in keeping it from the masses, that’s who. Guess what, though….the Truth does prevail - sooner or later - and those involved will get their opportunity to pay for their crimes.

    I’d say it’s either pretty stupid or very ballsy of them to be opening up 911 even before Kucinich’s committee makes their findings public. Perhaps that’s why they’re doing it. In any case, it will open up the “911 painbody” for all americans and what will transpire is the insertion of major contradictions in the official story….which is a great jumping off point for every american. In the long run, bringing attention to 911 all over again will set tongues wagging, whistleblowers whistling, and people coming out of the woodwork en masse to refute the film.

    To paraphrase Bushitco: “bring it on!”.

  49. veritas Says:

    So, since absolutely no one who posts here would care at all about what kind of idiot awards a piece of known fiction is up for, then is the implication that TP has their own trolls on board by posting something inane like this?


  50. Trekkie Says:

    #18 and #22

    So, Thomas Nicoletti (a former FBI agent who was a technical advisor on the film) is lying when he said that he knows the difference between dramatic license and historical inaccuracy, and that the film is the latter?

    And conservative Clinton critic Richard Miniter said that there was no factual basis for the segment on the “alleged opportunity” to assassinate Osama bin Laden, is he lying too?


  51. Rich Porter Says:

    Why do we care about some Emmy?
    The country is shifting to the Left and we are on the verge of 50 years of complete political domination!
    We control the media, the Education system and soon the government.
    With this power we can prevent rthe Right from ever gaining power!
    We can educate the next generation Progressive views and they will reject Rightwing politics.
    This is the best time to be a Progressive.
    Thanks Bush for creating the permanent Democrat majority!
    Our next step is to ban the Republican party and have a 1 party state!

    JT (jerk turd) - no, I just don’t like it when they put pure BS propaganda out to the general public, they at first said it was all true, then they had to recant that and say it was a drama with fictional scenes….but of course repukian idiots like yourself would not know that.

He’s not my favorite for president but he certainly can orate - not like some of the pussies the Repukes parade out there like Arlen Specter, Jim Inhofe, and Mitch McConnell (aren’t those “dirty old ladies” who are on that series of birthday cards - you know the ones with the gnarled up faces and elephant skin who are doing splits up the side of the wall??) . I think that Specter, Inhofe and McConnell actually posed for those cards.

  67. Rich Porter Says:

    Bruce Gorton,
    That’s what politics is all about, power!
    The Democrats will have a 2/3 majority in Both Houses and Hillary will be president.
    WE have the media with us so we can use them to indoctrinate the public.
    Thanks to warrantless wiretapping and the Ptriot act we can crack down on Reichwing organization and ban them forever!


  68. Badmoodman Says:

    “9/11″ actually has seven nominations. Nominated for Cinematography, Main Title Design, Special Visual EFX, Sound Editing, Single-camera editing, Music composition and Casting for a mini-series. People, I work in the industry and these are pure fluff nominations that have no “meat” to them at all. My industry loves to dole out awards like we’re all 7-year old soccer kids.

    Condi Rice is an evil woman who should be ashamed every time she looks in the mirror. Her own parents would be ashamed of her, for her testimony quite literally shrugging off the PDB warning about OBL being determined to attack within the US.

    Again, I’d say that to her face, and she would be able to defend herself.

    It’s one of the leaders in trying to put an intellectual face on the neoconservatives.


  73. Rich Porter Says:

    Egreggious ,
    I disagree. If aLeft of the Dems party eveolved them the Dems would become the new Republicans. The Right would come back.
    We don’t want that.
    We need just 1 party that way Conservatives will never have power again.
    Another solution is to force the South out of the Union.
    We don’t need them!

    Power for its own sake is self-defeating. Any good you might do with it is undone by your fear of losing it.

    If we abuse the power the Reps gave to us, we will become the reps and frankly think about it: Do you want to be Dick Cheney?

    Power, like its physical manifestation is a means to an end, and a fascist state isn’t the end we have in mind.

  86. veritas Says:

    Bruce: You’ve got a point there. Let’s keep all of the trappings of this fascist administration like the Patriot act, no habeas corpus, etc. so we can give Bush/Cheney a taste of their own medicine. What could be more just?


  87. Rich Porter Says:

    Bruce Gorton,
    That’s what all this is about, POWER! Do you really think that our party wants Iraq to end?
    No.
    We need it as an issue because it will pave the way for a historic victory in 2008 that will last 50-100 years!
    Just think of the paradise a Democrat only America will be!
    Trust me Hillary will not stop warrentless wiretappings, she’ll use them against Republicans.
    Since we have the media, the people will support it!

    Yeah, just like the truth (you do know that it’s not supposed to be capitalized?) about UFOs, bigfoot and the secret societies that run our world will come out one day?

    You guys sit at home, constantly shift through news sites and conspiracy sites, compile your own screeds, post them on other conspiracy sites or usenet and then engage in a gigantic intellectual circle-jerk over the imagined connections between events that may or may not actually have happened.

    You see yourselves as heroes who bravely uncover the truth that no-one else can see and have narcissistic fantasies about how, after the harmonic convergence has taken place and the humanity has reached a higher level of vibration (or some other new age crap like that), the history will laud you for your intelligence, courage and wisdom.

    I once knew a guy who thought he was being watched and controlled by government agents via tv sets and one-way mirrors. How did he know this? Because these agents kept leaving clues like having a news anchor wear a tie of a certain color. You’re just like that: seeing conspiracies where there are only coincidences.

    Go and get some help.


  93. Rich Porter Says:

    Exactly! That way we keep permanent power and destroy the Right forever!
    They must be eliminated so we ccan create a new society in America.

    Rich: What we are saying here is that by Bush’s numbers, all that’s left of the Rethugs is what is called “the maniac fringe” - 30% MOL.
    That means that 70% of americans fall into the Democrat/Independent category and this number considers themselves to be liberal or left.

    The disconnect we feel with Dem. moderates like Hillary, Biden et al is precisely because they’re attempting to pander to what used to win elections “the moderate middle” which now no longer exists.

    The moderate middle has been shifted left and now joins the extreme left and independent making it the entity to be reckoned with in 08. The candidate who puts this together will be the winner.

    Boudin Bob

    More like the truth that “Path to 9/11″ is about as factual as “The Lord of the Rings.”

    Even O’Reilly says agrees:

    Bill O’Reilly, Fox News pundit:

    Ok, we’re talking about the run up to 9-11 and this movie that they’re re-cutting now — and they should because it puts words in the mouth of real people, actors playing real people that they didn’t say and its wrong. [O’Reilly radio show, 9/8/06]


  107. Rich Porter Says:

    veritas,
    Exactly what we need is American Castro or Chavez!
    Let’s get rid of the Repuke traitors. They can move to Australia or Israel.
    Hillary will do this, she’s one of us!
    Trust me she will be President for Life!


  108. bogtrotters Says:

    Lay off ABC! They had the decency to omit the fifth aircraft that day: Al Gore grimly piloting a solar-powered ultralight toward the Lincoln Memorial. Only a sudden cloud and Gore’s subsequent splashdown in the Potomac spared our 16th President. YOU LIBERALS ARE NEVER HAPPY!

    Yeah, we know. The tip-off was that the post made sense.

    Poor little C**T.

    What? No, I like Israel. The Aussies, not so much and they could do with a few wussies to weaken their sports teams, but Israel is off limits.

    Shit the Jews have had enough to put up with from the west all of these years without saddling them with those losers.

    You guys don’t know this, but when Mr. P switches id’s on his computer, he actually switches hats. He wears a Nationals baseball cap when he’s Mr P, and when he switches to Boudin Bob, he wears a beret. Gay, I know, but that’s what he does.

    When he plays m12, he wears one of those propeller beenies. I don’t even know where he found that one.

  137. sponson Says:

    Mr. Prez just gave away his age and/or his microscopic attention span, the movie was an enormous hype and aired less than a year ago. From this we can deduce that his opinions or “knowledge” of anything prior to about December 2006 is as unreliable as a 6 year old’s understanding of her parent’s home mortgage financing. This reminds me of when it was proven that Rush Limbaugh never registered to vote in his life until 1986; therefore he never even voted for Reagan, not one time.


  138. Bruce Gorton Says:

    You do realise that the real far-left are more likely to like Kuinich then Hillary don’t you? I mean, she is something of a DINO.

    can’t say it’s good to see ya


  140. missmolly Says:

    Here’s the list — for those of you who don’t have the strength to plow through all the nominations looking for “Path to 9/11″:

    Outstanding casting for miniseries, movie, or special
    Outstanding main title design for miniseries, movie, or special
    Outstanding single-camera picture editing for miniseries or movie
    Outstanding cinematography for miniseries or movie
    Outstanding music composition (original score) for miniseries, movie, or special
    Outstanding sound editing for miniseries, movie, or special
    Outstanding visual effects for miniseries, movie, or special

    Please note these are mostly technical awards (except for casting and music score), and the techies who determine these nominations could care less about the factual accuracy of the script. For that matter, neither casting nor music score has anything to do with historical accuracy, either.

    These Emmy nominations are not any kind of mandate for the legitimacy of the propaganda — although the neocons will certainly try to spin it that way.


  141. ProudofBush Says:

    Haha Lefties! At least the Emmys don’t hate our freedom! This proves that Iraq was behind 911 and Clinton knew and did nothing!


  142. Rich Porter Says:

    Bruce Gorton ,
    Hillary is our leader.
    She’s going to win the nomination and as loyal party members we must follow here.
    She’s one of us and we must support her.


  143. Eskwaya Says:

    Yeah, but it is not nominated for anything important. It is not nominated for Best Director - MiniSeries, nor is it nominated for Outstanding Made for TV Movie.


  144. Rich Porter Says:

    Mr. President ,
    You are a relic of the past.
    Soon the Democrats will be in power for 100 years and you Repukes will be hunted down like rabbits!
    As for Muslims, they are a peace loving people who never launched wars of aggression against anyone else.
    Islam means poeace in Arabic.
    Mohhamed preched against violence and his example was followed by Ghandi and Martin Luther King JR.


  145. NotAFanOfTerrorists Says:

    I can only hope the terrorists watch the Emmy awards to see how their plan has failed. By blowing up those towers and that building where all those generals live, they helped make an Emmy award winning show that brought joy and happiness to millions of Americans.


  146. Bruce Gorton Says:

    Rich Porter

    Come off it, the dividing line between Hillary and Lieberman what Hillary has, Lieberman is.

    Hillary was one of the chief proponents of the Iraq war, and one of Bush’s staunchest defenders. She is in favour of evangelical Christianity, and believes that games are the root of all evil. She is hated by the right purely because she happens to be female.

    Zooey, have a safe ride!

    I couldn’t care less about the Path to 9/11 docu. Its all wrong. I might as well watch Scientology propaganda (I don’t you know - Tom Cruise sucks - big time), or believe in creationism, or take serious what Mr Snow says, or, or or…

    The truth will come out as soon as the current administration is not there anymore. The whistleblowers will have a tough time getting an open slot in the news shows, because there will be so many of them. Don’t you think there are legions of people who have axes to grind and will be out in public as soon as the retaliatory force of the Bush Administrations has lost its edge. And if they don’t have axes to grind they will be all over the prosecutors asking for deals. Noone there to commute their sentences then, you know. I am definitely looking forward to it.

    And btw: Draft Gore!


  150. J Lewd Says:

    “I’m in the RNC Troll Department making close to six-figures. You couldn’t even hope for that!”

    Gold stars on your RNC report card do count as “figures” of a sort, but I’m not sure they’re exactly the “figures” we’re talking about.

    You sound more like a McDonald’s employee to me: “You want lies with that order?”

    Well done. I hope it sweeps the Emmies. A first rate and accurate account of how Clinton failed to protect America leading to the deaths of 3,000 Americans.


  160. 26% of you are STUPID Says:

    # 165…. its also a shame Bush didn’t go after Bin Laden either….

    hey… any mention in the mock-u-drama of what Bush did his first eight months, BESIDES skip every intelligence meeting, especially where the report entitled “Bin Ladin Determined to Strike within America” was presented……..

    No???? what a surprise.

    but really # 25’s post had it just right. They got nominated for everything BUT the storyline. NICE.
    cinematography
    lighting
    sweeping
    garbage empyting
    best casting couch
    best toilet flushing…. yeah… be proud…be very very proud….

    oh well.. guess we lefties will just have to ’settle’ for Gore’s Academy Award as well as his nomination for Nobel Prize.

    So basically the creators/producers, etc. of the Emmy Awards are saying the no longer want to be taken seriously at all.

    That’s cool. In that case, I won’t even bother to flip past them when I’m channel surfing, I’ll just enter the next number above or below manually.

    Isn’t Norm Coleman’s wife a not particularly successful actress, as well? Perhaps that’s another reason he resents Hollywood.


  164. Kilo Says:

    ABC’s miniseries The Path to 9/11 has now been nominated for six seven Emmy awards.

    Er… okay.

    Last year The New Adventures of Old Christine was not only nominated but won something.

    Maybe a reality check is in order in terms of thinking that Emmys somehow mean something in relation to the quality of content.

    Either that or start complaining about who makes E-News’ best dressed list.

    Again, The New Adventures of Old Christine.
    What are you not understanding here ?
