When I think of all the President has been through, being accused of being responsible for 9-11, it makes me so angry to think that clinton gets a pass.
Different TV show.
This one is a real documentary, filmed inside the Twin Towers on 9/11, and Clinton is nowhere to be seen.
Some people HERE don't want it shown on Sunday night, because a bunch of firemen who'd been through hell were filmed saying the F-word and such.
You are now caught up.
As others have noted, Bill's attacking the mini-series on ABC. The AFA's attacking a documentary on CBS.
This is history. And there is no need to homogenize history to suit a crackpot who pretends to "care" for the morals of everyone.
I have no desire to ignore history. I have no desire to santize it for my children's sake. My older two will be watching; they are old enough to handle it. The youngest one will be sticking with Spongebob.
Then again, I insist on parent my own children, as opposed to letting someone else do it for me.
This isn't the doing of the Left. It's the social conversatives that are trying to keep it from being shown.
Damn right!
But didn't your mama and daddy teach you to not be an ass at the expense of others?
Kind of an extreme example, anyway.
You must be one of them libertarians.
Are you kidding?
It's too much fun to take portions of them out of context and then write sarcastic tripe in response to them.
My point, the article be damned, is that I don't need a bunch of pinch-mouthed, panties-in-a-wad nannies like the AFA telling me what I should or should not allow my children to watch or to read.
That responsibility rests with the parents.
All else smacks of censorship on a level which I think is downright dangerous.
The AFA is not much different than the taliban nitwits, then, is it?
Perhaps my religious beliefs require me to expose my children to profane and vulgar material via the television networks.
Where is your sense of tolerance for diversity?
Where are you gonna draw the line?
Pat Robertson don't like "Blue's Clues"?
What are you gonna do, write letters to Nickolodean and demand they not show it anymore, or are you gonna turn the damn TV off?
Sheesh!
Some people get their panties in a wad over stuff that really, really does not matter.
ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, HNN, have been losing viewers by the millions each year, but has that stopped them from spewing their slanted rhetoric? NO!!!
Because there will always be someone that watches them and they know that. And that knowledge is bolstered by the very fact that you and the AFA are incensed by what they do.
And they ain't doing it for free.
They know that the products that sponsor other shows are purchased by the people that watch.
Do you honestly think they're gonna do it for free?
No, they'll give up one every once in a while, just to keep the illusion going.
Who cares, anyway?
Just turn the damn TV off.
Well, because of these idiots and the FCC my local station has moved the broadcast from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Complete and absolute stupidity. The station manager said they ran the same show twice in the first year after 9/11 and didn't get a single complaint. But now dolts who listen to this organization have written to complain about a program they haven't even seen -- a program they know will have four-letter words so they've been warned and can simply turn it off or bar children from watching. How hard is that?
Somebody please save us from these puritan nutcases.
BTTT - I watched the unedited program last night without major psychic damage from the few well-targeted cuss words. I hope the frantic person who did so much of the posting on how bad the network was for not bleeping the presentation saw it as well, but I'm sure he didn't.
