COALITION RELEASES CLINTON EDITS
OF ABC-TV “PATH TO 9/11” DOCUDRAMA
Timid Television Execs Took Out Some Scenes after Clinton Clamor
Washington, DC – The Traditional Values Coalition released footage today from an ABC-TV docudrama “The Path to 9/11” which was edited as a result of a tantrum by former President Bill Clinton because it portrayed him unfavorably.
The censored footage is available on http://www.traditionalvalues.org/
“Mr. Clinton doesn’t want the American people to know that he and his team sat on their hands after terrorists attacked a U.S. Navy ship and bombed the World Trade Center the first time,” said TVC Chairman, Rev. Louis P. Sheldon.
Scenes which portrayed an ineffective Clinton Administration headed by a President distracted by the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal and his own impeachment are now missing from the television docudrama.
“The President who never had sex with ‘that woman’, who didn’t know what ‘is’ meant and who lied to a grand jury, now wants to be the wizard of truth and accuracy. And, the liberal ABC executives go weak in the knees when Mr. Clinton shrieks.
“ABC-TV has surrendered. If you want to get something on ABC-NEWS or keep it off ABC-NEWS, call Mr. Clinton! He’ll take you into the editing booth, and you can show them what you like and don’t like.
“America lost respect for Mr. Clinton a long time ago. But we expected more of the First Amendment-quoting ABC news executives. They should be ashamed.”
TVC Executive Director, Andrea Lafferty, called ABC-TV’s attempts to appease the angry former President “a travesty of American journalism.”
“ABC TV invited me to preview the docudrama. The ABC executive at the preview made it clear that some scenes were a compilation of a few events, but that the docudrama was factual. Lawyers from ABC vetted all of this thoroughly, but that didn’t stop the executives from caving in when Mr. Clinton threw a fit.
“Mr. Clinton was more interested in pursuing Ms. Lewinsky and other frat boy antics than he was in getting bin Laden.
“ABC-TV has now been proven to be owned and operated by Mr. Clinton and the vast left wing conspiracy. ABC’s lack of spine is what is ‘despicable,’ not this factual program.”

You could very well ne a legitimate new member of FR, but you mustn't spam threads with this same post.
Clinton..........Censorship King!!!Everything MUST be OKAYED by Clinton!
It's a docu-"DRAMA". People believe what they want to believe.
That site is presently down.
That traditional values link does not work for me.
I noticed that they used a film clip of Clinton, in which he horribly mispronounces 'Osama Bin Laden'.
It gave me the impression that he was seeing the name for the first time.
