So much for 'Free Speach' and "Free Press'. Condider the hidden threat in paragraph 2.

This is directly from the party leaders that will be in control of our government if Democrats win the majority in the next election!!!

If one made for t.v. movie results in this then imagine what their 'fairness' doctrine will do to talk radio and what they will do to the Internet should they come to power.

Think Robespierre and Danton, for starters.

The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest.

The above is pure and simply put an implied threat to Disney.

Which really is not hidden all that well.

The more fervent the reaction from the dems.. the more truth I think there is in this documentary.

People don't foam at the mouth like this unless they've been nailed good.

Just think of all the high tech surveillance goodies they will inherit. Does anyone think that they would keep any of the Bush administration employees like the Bush kept the Clinton people?? pe

"Methinks though dost protest too much..."--Shakespeare

I don't know, it could be an incredible instance of the Dems *collaborating* with the anti-Bush dinosaur channel, the more the Dems protest, the more peoples' interest will be piqued and more people will watch it to see what the Dems are complaining about, only to find out the movie actually blames Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc. for the whole 9/11 fiasco!!

They're just sneaky enough to do such a thing, don't you think?

I sense another moment where momentum has shifted from the democrats, much like the CBS/Dan Rather fake memo story.

Please contact senator reid:
http://reid.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=262624&&year=2006&
and let him know how you feel.
Here's how I felt:

Thank you for fighting for those of us who wish to supress and chill free speech in this country. I think you should threaten those who want to say things you disagree with. Conservative speech in this country is not a right, liberal views ahould be allowed though. That's why you cheered Michael Moore's film. Even though we know it was a total fabrication and full of untruths, it is liberal speech. It's good to be a liberal hipocrite eh senator.

May you find carnal pleasure with yourself senator.

What a disgusting abuse of power. Oh and it's "for the children". The signers of this threatening letter are domestic enemies of the constitution.

The text of the letter, signed by Senate Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid, Assistant Democratic Leader Minority Whip Dick Durbin, and Senators Debbie Stabenow, Charles Schumer, and Byron Dorgan, is below.

Those are the correct terms -- they can't be honest about anything (plus, it sounds better, hee hee).

Yes, it is. Basically, what the dems are saying is that ABC will lose its broadcast liscence if the show airs. Err Amerika sweat-heart Rhandi Rhodes was plasting it as political propaganda by the Bush administration and it proves that the mainstream media is nothing more than a right wing spin machine for the Republicans. Well, the way the uber-left is foaming over this, it must be the truth and they can't handle light being shed on their lack of attention.

The prototype is to treat this like the REAGAN miniseries that the Republicans complained about. Some changes were made but it aired pretty much as made.
