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.

I'm game! Maybe we should look into this prior to the primaries...They would work quite well down here where they don't like phony liberals.

I wish I believed that, but I don't. I think the Clinton's are so afraid that something will keep Hillary from the White House that they put out this disclaimer in case ABC didn't bow to their blackmail. ABC did, so I am sure they are even more arrogant now.

Shame someone like say Bruce Willis could not have gotten a movie started early on, where he would have been given a staff of military folks involved say with the Harmony Database.
I'll leave the film script to your imagination.
