(DNC Executive Director, Tom McMahon, sent the following email to Democrats across the country today.)
Dear Fellow Democrat,
Does a major national broadcast network want to stain itself by presenting an irresponsible, slanderous, fraudulent, "docu-drama" to the American public?
Not if you and I have the last word -- but either way, we're about to find out.
The ABC television network -- a cog in the Walt Disney empire -- unleashed a promotional blitz in the last week for a new "docudrama" called "The Path to 9/11". ABC has thrown its corporate might behind the two-night production, and bills it as a public service: a TV event, to quote the ABC tagline, "based on the 9/11 Commission Report".
That's false. "The Path to 9/11" is actually a bald-faced attempt to slander Democrats and revise history right before Americans vote in a major election.
The miniseries, which was put together by right-wing conservative writers, relies on the old GOP playbook of using terrorism to scare Americans. "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. It irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the truth.

What Dems fear most are THE FACTS about what they have been lying about, getting out to the Sheeple in a form that they will actually pay attention to....
When the soccer mom goes "Huh!" and puts 2-and-2 together Sunday night, it ends any hopes Dems have of pushing "Bush Lied" as a basis for taking back the house....
AND THEY KNOW IT.......
ABC doing something fair? What's the catch?
Well then I must watch it!
***"The record shows that President Clinton was committed to and focused on stopping terrorism every day**
Might I ask what record shows that?
Depends on what your definition of "terrorism" is then.
On the left, DU'ers prepare a mass Google-bombing campaign against ABC's 9/11 docu-drama, "The Path to 9/11," because of its critical look at the Clinton years:
To counteract the effects the ABC 9-11 movie could have on the midterm elections, I recommend this course of action:
The night of, and the morning after, people will be hitting the internet looking for information on the events as depicted in this movie.
Our biggest opportunity will be to have nearly identical blog posts waiting, then submit them to be found internet wide the morning after the movie. Google and Technorati will pick up on these posts quickly. We can make these entries dominate the first several pages of the search engines.
MAKE SURE THE POST TITLE HAS THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE IN IT!
Get every Democratic friendly blog on board as possible... you e-mail the ones you know, they'll e-mail the ones they know, etc. Make SURE these blogs are on the Technorati network and have also been submitted to Google's blog search.
For one day, change the title of your blog to the title of the movie.
Agree on a clear, detailed, and sourced body of information -- I've seen several examples on DU lately disputing what is in the movie. Media Matters has one. One was posted today on DU by Richard Clarke.
Everyone post it. Right after the movie is over or the next morning at the latest.
MAKE SURE THE POST TITLE HAS THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE IN IT!

I clicked the link, to send a letter to the Walt Disney CEO and changed the letter they had in there:
Mr. Iger,
I COMPLETELY disagree that "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims. And I COMPLETELY disagree that it irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the truth.
This film is the right of the network and the writers to portray TRUE history as it happened on September 11 and to put blame where it belongs, on the Democrats.
THIS SHOULD BE VIEWED IN FULL, WITHOUT ANY EDITS WHATSOEVER, AS ABC HAS MADE IT.
IT'S ABOUT TIME THE DEMOCRATS REALIZE THEY DON'T OWN THE NETWORKS AND THE NETWORKS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ADVERTISE AND CREATE A DOCUMENTARY AS THEY SEE FIT.
DEMOCRATS NEED TO LEARN TO SHUT UP AND TAKE IT, AS REPUBLICANS HAVE ON MANY OCCASIONS FOR ALL THE CRAP THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE TELEVISED AND MADE INTO MOVIES.
Sincerely,
when is this on tv? the 11th? Hopefully soon, before the left somehow forces them to cave in and edit.
I wasn't sure if I should post the whole thing. Don't know the rules in posting anything from the Rat site.
Methinks thou doth protest too much.
Funny how the 9-11 Commission report is scripture when the true frauds, the Democrats, can use it against Bush or so they think. But now suddenly that it doesn't depict Bill Clinton in the most favorable light, it's a "fraud."
Was Fahrenheit 9-11 a "fraud?" Oh no, that was the real depiction of history. Their loud protesting over this movie reveals that it cuts them to the quick. And it's only helping to bring attention to the show. I love seeing the Dems. squirming about a media release for a change. Let's enjoy.
Bill Clinton, his administration and the entire Democrat Party, guilty of the murder of American innocents. That is fact and truth!!!
LOL, I'm sure Clinton said this while being serviced by an 18 year old intern.

Gotta love the smell of democrat desperation an the evening.
