Official Flag of the propogandist Dems.... SERIOUSLY!

A group of leading American historians today sent the following letter to Mr. Robert Iger of ABC. Stressing the significance of the "traumatic" events of 9/11, the signers of this letter are calling on Mr. Iger to stand up for responsible media treatments of such important historical moments and withdraw the program from circulation. The growing list of signatories will be updated at openlettertoabc.blogspot.com.
The text of the letter follows.
Dear Robert Iger:
We write as professional historians, who are deeply concerned by the continuing reports about ABC's scheduled broadcast of "The Path to 9/11." These reports document that this drama contains numerous flagrant falsehoods about critical events in recent American history. The key participants and eyewitnesses to these events state that the script distorts and even fabricates evidence into order to mislead viewers about the responsibility of numerous American officials for allegedly ignoring the terrorist threat before 2000.
The claim by the show's producers, broadcaster, and defenders, that these falsehoods are permissible because the show is merely a dramatization, is disingenuous and dangerous given their assertions that the show is also based on authoritative historical evidence. Whatever ABC's motivations might be, broadcasting these falsehoods, connected to the most traumatic historical event of our times, would be a gross disservice to the public. A responsible broadcast network should have nothing to do with the falsification of history, except to expose it. We strongly urge you to halt the show's broadcast and prevent misinforming Americans about their history.
Sincerely,

Leftish a-ho Perlstein is eviscerated here -- http://www.frontpagemag.com/blog/printable.asp?ID=17
No doubt about it.
LOL! Great art work too.
One word: BLASTFAXING!!!
Please tell me you are joking.
Thanks for the ping. I would have missed it all without one.
We HAVE to stop this..We have a chance here to humiliate Klinton and let the world see what REALLY went on
Call Disney at 1-818-560-1000 or 1-818-460-7477.
Call ABC at 1-212-456-7777 or 1-818-560-1000.
You have to honest here...other than the 30-40 production guys in the studio...no one else has seen the final clip. So all of these comments...from dimwits across the political spectrum...is a joke. What they all want...is the series pulled period. Thats the real story.
Why remind anyone of 9-11? It dosn't help the democratic machine at all...instead...it really boosters the republican message. Thats the entire bottom...pull the program.
So, they should be held accountable for their possibly illegal actions, right?
LOL......glad I read your post, before I repeated a lot of what you wrote. Well said!
and if we dont do something FAST they will pull the program and Klinton will be running what we see on TV ( or dont see ( I just dont see our side taking this seriously at all and it's disturbing me greatly.
I'd sure love to see the director's cut version of this film side-by-side with whatever the "edited" version will end up being...
Honey, could you please pass the dinner rolls......oh.....and by the way, have I told you just how much gravitas you have lately?
