CRITICS & HYPOCRITES (free speech, but only if Clintonites approve)
NY POST ^ | September 8, 2006 | EDITORIAL

Posted on 09/08/2006 8:31:07 AM PDT by Liz

How to tote up the hypocrisy spewing from Camp Clinton -over ABC's mini-series....Calling the docudrama based on the 9/11 Commission's report as well as other sources, "fiction," the Clintonites want it re-edited to tone down criticism of the former president - or, better still, yanked entirely. To show the film as it now stands, Bill Clinton's office said in a statement yesterday, would be "despicable."

What - no liberal cries of "censorship"? Nothing about the sacred constitutional guarantee of free speech? No warnings about the "chilling effect" caused by ideological zealots intent on pursuing their partisan agenda? .......former National Security Adviser Sandy "I've Got Stolen Secret Papers Down My Pants" Berger - claim the flick is full of factual errors that portray them as lax in their pursuit of Osama bin Laden.

Remember how Democrats responded to Republican criticism when CBS prepared to air a two-part drama about Ronald Reagan that portrayed the late president as an unfeeling tyrant, complete with wholly invented dialogue? "This is censorship, pure and simple," wailed Barbra Streisand.......like ex-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who now complains about the 9/11 film, with only second-hand information about it.......People for the American Way lashed out at "the echo chamber of right-wing pundits and Republican Party officials" for declaring that Ronald Reagan "is off-limits to media treatment that is anything short of fawning."

Gee. Isn't that exactly what the Clintonites are saying....? How shocked they seem that some folks in Hollywood, of all places, deem to portray Team Clinton in a way that is "short of fawning."

.....Clintonite protests seem to be working - ABC has altered some scenes. Just how far the network gives in remains to be seen.

Don't the Clintonistas know Rudy Giuliani is the one and only global "expert" on terrorism (extreme sarcasm)...........


Hillary must know Rudy is the one who saved the Nation on 9/11.......after all, he is "America's (gag) Mayor."


Why isn't Rudy showing "leadership," and elbowing those soft-on-terror Clintonistas outta the way?

My guess is, he doesn't want to get political about 9/11. Until he's ready.

Rudy's not ready? Maybe he's getting into an appropriate outfit before he speaks out.

"Is this appropriate attire for pontificating on how great I am on the WOT?"

Giuliani is picking and choosing his remarks with extreme care and caution at this point. He's not giving many public interviews and he's not agressively challenging anyone, left or right. Giuliani is trying to keep a low profile and allow his surrogates to advance his future political aspirations. The time for Giuliani to fight, is not right.

"How about "Farenheit 911" didn't these same Clintonistas just love that pack of lies?" And Rather's "fake but accurate" forged documents.

And Spike Lee's recent Katrina propaganda series on PBS.

Guess I should have added a graphic of a "tongue planted firmly in cheek" to that post.

A Rudy Giuliani nomination would be devastating to the GOP

Must be the "air" they "inhale" in LaLa Land that makes them behave like self-serving turds.

I think a better poll question would be: Are you going to watch?

With the November elections coming up the GOP needs to gain some how gain political mileage out of Clinton led, radical Dems ABC cover up concerning their treasonous tracks, when it comes to national security and opening the door for 9-11 by their inaction against the Islamic enemy.

Osama and other top al-Qaeda commanders could have been taken out numerous occasions, by the Clinton White House, and were not, resulting in over 3000 Americans - dead!

I found that at the Neal Boortz website, and it was too good to not steal (err...borrow) it. That will be my new official Rudy & McCain GOP emblem. ;-)

The Clintonistas were too busy getting it on with interns------fund-raising to further their crass political ambitions---and pardonning criminals, to bother about the safety of the citizenry.
