ABC Altering 9/11 Film After Clinton Officials Express Outrage

ABC is altering its upcoming miniseries "The Path to 9/11" in response to intense criticism from members of the Clinton administration that the two-part, made-for-TV film is filled with factual errors and lies, a network official reportedly said.

Three members of the administration — former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger and Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey, who now heads the Clinton Foundation — said they sent letters to Walt Disney Company, parent of ABC, demanding that it re-edit or pull the five-hour film, scheduled for air Sunday and Monday nights without commercial interruption.

The Washington Post reported Friday that an ABC executive, who requested anonymity because the network is making only written comments, said small revisions have been underway for weeks.

Heh! Yeah.
Telling FReepers to boycott ABC and Disney would be like telling the million mom marchers to not attend the annual NRA conventions.

I feel a chill wind blowing across these United States.

It's not a chill, it's a blizzard and the snow is way high.

More like a s**t storm.

True enough. We'll know soon enough how much was cut, making wild accusations before hand is no help whatsoever.

Remember the rumors that were circulated about Bubba getting mad and stalking out of one of the Monica-era depositions?

Totally false. Made us look bad and made Bubba look good.

You can't unring a bell. Having made such a stink, the Clintonistas/Dems now look like they are hiding the truth. By inference, they lose BIG in this. :)

You know a 'not for kids' or 'not safe for work' disclaimer on that would have been responsible and appropriate. Good thinking.

We are all thoroughly disgusted. But who here *really* believed this wouldn't happen?

Remember the the stained dress? Oh yeah man, Slick Willie gonna get his this time, finally. The FBI files. Vince Foster. Rose law firm files. Whitewater. etc etc ad nauseum.

Forget BC. Republicans should be loudly and incessently castigating the DIMs that are in office right now. That is who they are running against. Hit them hard all day every day on the WOT. The DIMs have baggage filled with bricks. Push them off the boat.

BC is scum. He has done irrepairable damage to ours and the west's future security. But we are all dreaming if we think he is going to pay for his sins like this. His warped ego will create his own hell before he dies.

You want to really get the Clintons and their minions? Bury the Democratic Party.

"AP story that Bush has requested time from the networks on Monday night for 16-18 minute address to the nation."

He will state that the miniseries is accurate and its time for the conservative to take back the country. He will then state that the birds are in the air to tehran, PyongPhem, and Damascus, and oh, the UN is closed until further notice due to their relocation to Darfur. And he pardons anyone that may due something in the cause of liberty and keeping American safe in the GWOT.

In order to be a leftist, your mind has to be pretty loose to begin with ;-)

I am listening to the Mike Gallagher radio show...and Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday is on...and HE is taking the side of the DEMS and Clintons!!

He said he is already getting angry e-mail during the radio interview...

He said that the DEMs have the RIGHT to do what they did.

UPDATE: Looks like Bill is going to need a case of Pepto, email from overseas, guess what “bootleg” movie is showing up? Told you, can’t stop the flood. Look for the “Berger Cuts” to show up on You Tube any day now.

Tom Kean was on Fox & Friends this morning and Steve Doocy was reading a letter sent by the Clinton mouthpiece (can't remember his name). Tom interrupted Steve to tell him that the letter was never sent to him (Tom), it was only published in the newspaper.

The most important thing to remember is that there are uncut versions out there - Rush has all 5 hours - and we need to make sure those versions are WIDELY available. Perhaps some wealthy conservative could make an arrangment to make copies available to every public school, every public library, and every public official in the country, with copies available to the public at the cost of production and shipping.

Relax Rush has the orginal . He already said that on Monday he will give us the parts they edit. So clinton is screwed again!

________

No, he's not. The majority of people will see the edited version Sunday night. The MSM and the Dems will applaud ABC for "getting it right." Clinton wins.

Only we on FR, some watching Fox and talk radio will know the difference. Preaching to the choir.
