Democrats for truth
Boston Herald ^ | 9 September 2006 | Jules Crittenden Boston Herald City Editor

Five years after Sept. 11, the Democrats have suddenly become obsessed with truth. Their version of it.

Former President Bill Clinton is incensed with the ABC docudrama "The Path to 9/11," set to run Sunday night, that depicts his administration as cavalier in its disregard for the threats al-Qaeda posed, and too distracted by the Monica Lewinski affair in any case to act decisively. Clinton is concerned a TV dramatization will become the accepted version of history. Democrats in Congress threatened to wage regulatory jihad on ABC, and ABC went back into rewrite.

Some observers are shocked by the hypocrisy and the chilling effect this kind of behavior can have on the free discussion of ideas in the United States. But I welcome this development.

For starters, I assume this means that legions of Bush-haters will be showing up at Michael Moore’s house, demanding refund of the $8 each of them spent on his falsehood-studded distort-a-palooza, "Fahrenheit 911." At the time, outright lying and revisionism were being encouraged by the left, so it was reasonable for them to subsidize Moore’s tour de force in the genre. But they are attempting to move beyond that, and we should encourage them....

Grand slam!

Here's another Dem challenge to the President that we should all throw back in their faces regarding "the path to 9/11":

"Admit you made mistakes"!

It will be accepted unless people successfully put forth other ideas that are more acceptable. Clinton & al. will have a hard time disputing the central idea: democrats are demonstrably corrupt, untrustworthy and unqualified to lead the country.

The new democratic party has turned in a party of intimidation, distortion, and censorship. They have moved into Stalinism.

"...All of the world’s major intelligence agencies, probably to include most agents in Saddam Hussein’s own Mukhabarat as well as his own generals, believed Iraq had an active WMD program. He did, as has been recently shown, have existing stockpiles of up to 700 chemical projectiles. "...Iraq attempted to buy uranium in Niger. The outing of Valerie Plame was not a White House plot. "...Saddam was winning the sanctions war. He had throughly corrupted the United Nations food-for-oil program and Europe was pushing to eliminate the crumbling sanctions regime. Had Saddam been allowed to remain in power, the likelihood is that he would have resumed production and development of WMD....

Yep and just what do the credits of the war think Saddam would have been doing these 3 years

Democrats for truth? Their version of the truth? Reminds me of Mike Malloy and his Truth Seekers website. I would rather trust a furious rat than listen to what these pinheads consider the truth.

Isn't that an oxymoron? Or maybe just moronic.

I laughed out loud when I read the headline.
"RATS for truth" is like "Nazis for Jews".

Meanwhile:

1. The Bush Justice Department gives Sandy Burglar a complete pass after the scumbag was caught with his pants down around his ankles and classified documents from the National Archives stuffed down his underwear and in his socks.
2. Republican Congressmice with full access to the Ford Building refuse to disclose what's in the Clinton archives.
3. The communist State Department and the rogue, incompetent CIA remain largely intact and free to continue their subversive anti-American activities.
4. The Clintonites and other assorted Democrat scumbags browbeat ABC into protecting the "legacy" of the Sink Masturbator, but the rest of the "docu-drama" - - the parts that smear Condi Rice and the Bush Administration - - is left untouched.

Fantastic.

"Democrats For Truth" are holding their national convention here in Dallas. It's at the Motel 6, room 103, in the shoe closet.
