The Left-Wing blogosphere is now in an UPROAR over the fact that part 1 of The Path To 9/11 aired last night. Although there were a couple of disclaimers in the movie that it was fictionalized as well as some minor editing changes (primarily the removal of the scene where Sandy Berger hangs up the phone on the team trying to capture Osama bin Laden) the main thrust of the movie is quite clear: the Clintonistas were not serious in their attempts to stop terrorism. As could be be expected, the loony left is OUTRAGED that this movie has aired as you can see just in the title of this DUmmie THREAD, "AFTER THEY AIR "PATH TO 9/11" NO F'ING RETREAT, NO F'ING SURRENDER!" Also chiming in angrily on this subject were the Daily Kos KOmmies in this THREAD titled, "ABC Hits Panic Button? Frantic Re-Write Misfires." And finally we have the HUffington Post HUffies filling out the leftist trifecta of angst with this THREAD lamenting the fact that a mere disclaimer just doesn't do the trick from their point of view. So let us now watch the Leftwing loonies frantically attack The Path To 9/11 in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, looking forward to Part 2 of this movie tonight, is in the [brackets]:
AFTER THEY AIR "PATH TO 9/11" NO F'ING RETREAT, NO F'ING SURRENDER!
[Wouldn't it be nice if the DUmmies had the SAME attitude toward actual terrorists that they do towards the movie?]
If ABC/Disney goes through with its plans to air "Path to 9/11" tomorrow and Monday I don't blame them at all. Why? Because they are not scared of the left and quite frankly we have not given them any damn reason to fear us. They are calling our bluff, they are telling you, I and everyone on the left that we are not organized enough, not committed enough and not unified enough to follow through and inflict any damage.
[Sounds like you need a new DUmmie project. DUAC! DUAC!]
Why did CBS not air the Regan mini series? Because the right was organized and f'ing feared. Why did Slimfast fire Whoopi Goldberg for her comments about Bush? Because the right was organized and f'ing feared. Why did Disney not distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11?" Because the right was organized and f'ing feared. Why did CBS can those involved in the "60 Minutes"/Bush National Guard incident? Because the right was organized and f'ing feared.
[And the "little fact" that the National Guard story was based on FORGED DOCUMENTS.]
ABC/Disney is expecting some bad press, some hurt feelings, some protests and some of its lower rated shows to suffer (no big deal they were not going to make it anyway), but they feel their bigger, critically acclaimed shows will not be hurt in the long run. Their assumption is that this will no longer be an issue by Septmeber 13. That is why if they go through with their plans to profit from lies by airing "Path to 9/11," they must be held accountable and whatever efforts that were put forth to try to prevent the airing must be quadrupled and ANY AND ALL THREATS OF BOYCOTT MUST BE FOLLOWED THROUGH UPON! NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER!!!
[NO PASARAN!]
Earlier in the week I wrote that we can really harm ABC/Disney by simply boycotting "Grey's Anatomy" and later after other DUers chimed included "Lost." I still believe that to be true and intend to follow through with my plan not to watch "Grey's Anatomy" (I don't watch "Lost" but I won't start either). Although I intend to greatly reduce or eliminate my patronage of ABC/Disney products, my motivation for just targeting two high profile shows as opposed to the entire corporation is based upon its expectations for these two series. Let's not forget that "Grey's Anatomy" was moved to Thursdays to allow the network to compete with strong Thursday night line-ups at both CBS and NBC. A 5% hit to "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost" could really hurt ABC/Disney and scare the shit out of advertisers.
[If you boycott Disney that will mean no more Disney World Gay Days for you.]
After my post i got the typical DU response, some supported while others dismissed it, which is what ABC/Disney is banking on. They are also banking on our lack or organization, our lack of focus and our inability to stay on message. They are calling our bluff and will continue to make BS like "Path to 9/11" unless we hurt them and hurt them bad. This is not even about Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright or Sandy Berger its about ABC/Disney trying to influence the historical account of one of the worst days in American history. If ABC/Disney does not pull this miniseries how great would it be to see one or both of these shows fail? The shareholders will RIOT and the advertisers will run.
[And DUmmie pizza will go stale waiting for results.]
I hope something will happen at the last minute and I can continue enjoying "Grey's Anatomy" but if not i'm ready to follow through with my threat.
[Oops! It looks like no more "Grey's Anatomy" for you.]
Folks its time to organize, its time to follow through, its time to make good on our threats.
[DUAC! DUAC!]
Please kick, recommend and forward to those not on DU, sometimes I worry that we think if we raise enough cain in our little echo chamber on the net we are doing something when all we are really doing is preaching to the choir.
[aka DUmmie ants running in a circular mill.]
NO F'ING RETREAT, NO F'ING SURRENDER !!!
[NO PASARAN! And now to hear from the rest of the DUmmie ants in my personal DUmmie Ant Farm...]
At 8:00 on September 10th, 2006, we will declare war on.... Disney/ABC!
[God forbid that you actually declare a war on....Terror!]
Targeting where we can hurt them is the hard part We have to target sponsors of top shows that are tied very closely to Disney or ABC. BTW. THIS IS F*CKING WAR!!!
[The DUmmies marching off to war...against a movie.]
This is blatant political propaganda presented as "news" on our network airwaves. I feel like I'm living in George Orwell's 1984. Disney/ABC and any sponsors I know have seen the last of my consumer dollars.
[Not one damn dime!]
NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we give up on this we will give up on everything they wish to spoon feed us. I have sent all of my e-mails, and cancelled plans for a vacation next summer in disney world. If they end up showing this docu, they will just as easily steal the elections in `06. But, actually `06 is ssssssooooooooooo minor compared to `08. They have no intentions of leaving, the power has been too much of a narcotic for them to give it to the dems.
[We own ALL your Diebold machines!]
I have had it with the lies and the distortions coming from the media!!! I used to watch ABC because I had believed that they were calling Bush out for the way he has screwed up our country!!! Now I have come to believe that the WHITE HOUSE NAZI is going to use ABC as his own PROPAGANDA CHANNEL!!! I want to know who is at ABC/Disney on the Bush payroll!! Who has become the new mouthpiece spewing out these lies about the greatest President we ever had since Jimmy Carter? Why are the American people going to put up with this garbage on their TV sets? Bush is the future dictator of our country and his manipulation of the media is going to continue until he is stopped!!!
[Karl Rove hands out secret payoffs to the ABC execs from a brown bag with Mickey's pic on it.]
Hit these guys where it hurts!!! Don't watch ABC and see their ratings plummet. Don't watch Disney movies!!! Cancel your trips to Disney World!!! These guys will feel the pressure as their bottom line drops like a rock. Maybe then these guys will start getting the stones to stand up do the White House Nazi. They can fire whoever the mouthpiece is on the ABC payroll. Maybe even prosecute him for slander against our beloved Bill Clinton!!! Then and only then, should we begin to even consider watching ABC TV or endorsing Disney with our business.
[Yes. Let's criminalize anything that even hints of criticism of our Beloved Leader, Bill Clinton.]
When we retake Congress, we must never forget. The giant profiteering media corporations must be broken up. Complete control of the media by the super-rich is unacceptable.
[A DUmmie plans to Bolshevize America following an election they have yet to win. And now on to the KOmmie THREAD of outrage against The Path To 9/11.]
ABC Hits Panic Button? Frantic Re-Write Misfires
[Misfires? That depends on your POV.]
boycott the rodent and the All Bush Channel
[Boycotting the DemocRATS would be easy.]
Get ready for the shit sandwich between your teeth, you miserable RW sacks of crap. You can't hide any more. Prepare to be exposed, asswipes. ABC/Dizney have you to thank for their ratings tank. Enjoy your spiral down the toiletbowl.
[Said the KOmmie munching on his feces fondue.]
I've got rw fundamentalist relatives and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit silent when the topic comes up. Straight out hit job is all it was. I hope it's actionable in court.
[Send in Nancy Grace!]
A Request to Change or Pull the Show was sent to ABC prior to broadcast. Given the nature of the complaints, coming from principles portrayed in the film, for ABC to go ahead with it as it was sounds like malice to me.
[A KOmmie legal beagle weighs in on malice.]
Reichstag fire is to Hitler as 9/11 is to Bush
[Apparently KOmmieland is also filled with MIHOPers.]
I really want ABC and Disney severely punished for this. I want Clinton, Albright, and Berger to sue the ever-loving-shit out of both. I want them to bankrupt both. But I am not holding my breath.
[Or you could suffocate.]
Invest in a class action lawsuit. Set up something on Act Blue to allow people to contribute to a class action lawsuit fund on behalf of Bill Clinton, Sandy Berger and Madeline Albright.
[We are just $10 away from suing ABC.]
A Democratic congress will have the power to make ABC/Disney regret using public airwaves for slanderous propaganda.
[Another KOmmie threat against the First Amendment.]
Overall this whole event has been quite dispiriting. First that ABC would create this piece of obvious propaganda in the first place and then that DailyKos would fall allover itself to elevate this to "most important event" status.
[Culminating in this KOmmie thread being featured in the DUmmie FUnnies. And now on to the Huffington Post THREAD to watch the HUffies huff and puff over this movie...]
That's the right for ya, getting Mickey Mouse to tell their fairy tales so that they can sleep better at night.
[Donald sang me a lullaby last night.]
Keans' participation in this propoganda / revisionist history garbage calls into question his legitimacy and hense his findings from the 9/11 Commission Report. At best he seems incapable of excersising good judgement and at worst he continues to play a roll in the cover up of the worst terrorist attack in our country's history. An attack that very well may have been perpetrated by trators within. In my mind, Keans' particiation & backing of this trash further supports an attack from within as a viable theory.
[The wacko theory known as MIHOP.]
Watching the Disney Propaganda Film -- THEY ARE TRYING TO LEAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS TERRORIST ACTIVITY BEGAN UNDER CLINTON AND HE DID LITTLE TO STOP IT. Now, why did they start in 1993? Because that is when Clinton became President?
[Um...maybe it was because that was when the FIRST terrorist attack on the WTC happened and the Clinton folks decided to treat it as a mere criminal problem.]
IT HAS KARL ROVE'S FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER---AND I HAVE BEEN WARNING U DEMS ABOUT GETTING OVER-CONFIDENT. THERE WILL BE MORE OF THIS CRAP!!
[WHEW! I was getting worried there. I DUFUed a couple of lefwing threads on this topic with no one yet blaming Karl Rove. Thanx for restoring my faith in leftwing insanity.]
DISNEY AND BUSH HAVE BEEN IN BED FOR A WHILE---BUT THIS IS AS HORRIBLE AS IT GETS!!!
[It could be worse like Helen Thomas in bed with anybody.]
Just wait. After November, if the Republicans manage to steal another one, you'll see $5 gasoline and a draft.
[Wasn't there supposed to be a draft FOR SURE right after Bush won the last election?]
Not to worry folks. If the Dems gain control of Congress in November, they've promised to cancel ABC's broadcasting license. It will be payback time with a vengeance, and will show the country just who really controls the media.
[Yup! That sure sounds like a threat to me.]
This movie is going to kill the libs and dems. Wait to the poll numbers come out next week. People love this stuff.
[A HUffie gets to the heart of the REAL leftist worry over this movie.]
Actually, it is some twisted, neocon version of The Bible that might be forced down our throats. The radical right wants it all merged with the government, and your right to practice religion freely be damned.
[While the Islamic countries remain a font of religious freedom and tolerance...eh?]
Berger later admitted to stealing and destroying Top Secret documents related to "the Administration['s] knowledge - and inaction - regarding al Qaeda presence in the U.S. in 1999 and 2000... stolen were crucial notes in the margins of these drafts which reveal the thinking and agendas of the Clinton Administration relating to the mounting terrorist threat."
[Now I know why Sandy Berger reminds me of a chipmunk. It's because he stuffed his chubby little cheeks full of National Archives documents.]
ABC / DISNEY SHOWED THEIR TRUE HAND BY SHOWING THIS PROPAGANDA FILM FOR THE BUSH ADMIN AND THE GOP AT A MOST DESPERATE TIME LEADING UP TO THE ELECTIONS. THE GOP IS BANKRUPT. DURING THEIR REIGN THEY HAVE TURNED OUR GOVERNMENT INTO A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. BUSH AND CHENEY HAVE ATTACKED AMERICA ON EVERY LEVEL ... INCLUDING 911 AND HAVE SENT US INTO AN ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION ON A PACK OF LIES AND DISTORTIONS. THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SHOULD BE BESIDE THEMSELVES WITH ANGER THAT THEIR GOVERNMENT HAS NOT ONLY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON THEM BUT HAS ACTUALLY ATTACKED THEM WITH PROPAGANDA, LIES, AND PLANES.
[Is that you, Howard Dean?]
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
PING!
"Fake but accurate"
top 10
IN BEFORE 10.. REMEMBERING 9/11
I can't wait to see what they have to say about this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1699336/posts
Why would they complain? They got the film gutted out.
The refusal to grant permission to grab Bin Laden was fictitious, they said. But ask the author: that ONE scene was a literary conflation of TWELVE such incidents.
TWELVE TIMES opportunities to grab or kill Bin Laden were vetoed by the Clinton Administration.
TWELVE.
Top 10.
So much for Freedom of Speech... they believe in it just fine as long as the speech is on their side. Little fascists.
9th?!
10th?
If you are 9th I'm 10th :)
It's a first for me. :)
Uhhh........How long has he felt this way? I've felt it for twenty years.
The Commies would see 1984 as a blessing compared to having "evil" Republicans in charge.
It isn't the Bush administration that promised to make licensing harder on ABC's affiliates. It isn't the Bush administration that used the IRS to audit its critics. It isn't the Bush administration that has been revealed to have stolen documents from the national archives and destroyed them to rewrite history.
I was engaging in safe, protected, browsing at DU last nite and laffed my @ss off at a whole thread devoted to "Can Anyone Help Me I'm Having a Nervous Breakdown"
