WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Amid an election-year debate over who can best defend America, U.S. congressional Democrats urged ABC on Thursday to cancel a TV miniseries about the September 11 attacks that is critical of former Democratic President Bill Clinton and his top aides.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada denounced the five-hour television movie, set to air in two parts on Sunday and Monday nights, as "a work of fiction."
Reid and other leading Senate Democrats wrote to Robert Iger, president and CEO of ABC's corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co., urging him to "cancel this factually inaccurate and deeply misguided program."

Our guys are too good of shots. Make the firing squad up of a bunch of punks from one of the urban gangs and tell them that he did their momma.

ABC issued a statement saying the production, "The Path to 9/11," was still being edited and that criticism of the film's specifics were thus "premature and irresponsible." Well so much for anything close to the truth ever seeing the light of day. By the time it is aired it will look like something written by Moveon.org.

But the report about Bush's service record is the gospel according the left...
To: All
Write to ABC and tell them you will boycot the station and any advertisers that work with aBC. This is total bullsh*t .If the show was bashing Bush with lies and unfounded accusations thay would all be praising it. They LOVE freedom of speech untill it effects them in the negative. Klinton had OBL on a platter and he turned it donw. It's a matter of record at this point. We HAVE to take advantage of this and show the American public what frauds the Dems are. Klinton is a Nazi , he wants to control the media and how he is presented to the public. Who the hell is he ? See how the Liberals are ? They are the real Nazis.

Of the Studios in the film-making industry and companies in the entertainment industry Disney is very credible and highly respected. Disney didn't acquire ABC to go down with the dinosaur media. As FOX gains credibility and earns respect so will ABC with Disney at the helm.

It's a GD tv show. Just turn the channel you retards!
Terrorism and the War on terrorism, or anything that exposes the truth about terrorism and those who willingly support it, or cover it up, or cover up their support for it, or use of it in their quest to regain control of the power structure of this nation, which has more than likely resulted in the needless, senseless deaths of many innocent civilian Americans on 9/11 (if true...), not to mention the deaths of those who fight against it (if true...), as well as unprovoked, non-responded to attacks i.e USS Cole, Khobar Towers etc...is NOT "a GD tv show..."

The Democrats must be very scared of what's going to be revealed in this mini-series. And I'll bet even what they're trying to get cencored is only a small part of what the Clinton administration did wrong.

Just remember how everybody here was so excited about Clinton supposedly blowing up at his jury trial testimony and were demanding to see the tape blah blah and it turned out to be a big nothing
Ya all may be setting yourselfs up for another big letdown
What should have been done was the GOP demand hearings on Berger's theft of the secret documents --what was in them and why did he steal them
For of course the GOP came up short again

This will blow up in the RATS faces, just like everything else they've tried. Bush always outsmarts them & they cannot stand it!

ABC should made a DOCUMENTARY rather than trying to make a movie
It would have had been less controversial
If this thing is exposed as part fiction based on fact it will backfire

Why did they give out advance copies and have advanced showings if they were still editing it
Makes no sense

In a hall outside some office in the Whitehouse, an angry CIA agent screams that he has buddies in danger of being killed in the hunt for terrorists, while this bunch does NOTHING. FBI dude says "We are all living in danger. klintoon wants to treat this as a law enforcement problem". CIA agent says, "How do you win a law enforcement war"? FBI dude answers, "You don't"!
Do they KNOW this actually occurred or is this conjecture and artistic license ?

The Clintonista mafia gang still has 3 more days to get the show cancelled.
I'm still betting even odds that they will get it done. 1 to 10 odds that they will get the show so watered down it won't make sense anymore.

Did Newt see the movie?
Michael Barrone said it was a great movie.
