With 9/11 Film, Kean Finds Tough Critic in Hamilton
The Washington Post ^ | 9/12/06 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 09/12/2006 6:24:20 AM PDT by steve-b

There have been few political love stories as beautiful as that of Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, the former chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 commission.

"I have never worked with anybody I've come to respect more than Lee Hamilton," Republican Kean said at a Sept. 11 fifth-anniversary joint performance with Hamilton yesterday.

"He is one of the preeminent public servants of our day, bar none," came Democrat Hamilton's well-worn reply.

So it packed even more punch when Hamilton, at the National Press Club luncheon, lectured his friend about the falsified Sept. 11 docudrama Kean helped ABC produce....

Dana Milbank is nothing but liberal Democrat MSM vermin, and both Kean and Hamilton led a commisssion that was useless.

ABC should release an annotated transcript of the film, listing the source of each line of dialog. It would go a long way to revealing which parts of the film are backed by reality, and which aren't. It's a necessary next step.

Has someone made a list of movies that trash Republican Presidents, Christians, and conservatives, red staters, etc? Or even the hundreds of TV shows that include cheap shots at anything or anyone conservative...

We're so used to being the punching bag, we're stunned by dems response to a few negative minutes ... Either they're thin skinned beyond words, or we're punch drunk...

OK so the liberals are always lecturing us that our freedoms are more important even than the fight against terrorism. So what are we fighting for now, a politiocal party's ability to censor tv programs which depict history in a way they find "inaccurate" (read revealing)?

They already tried this in the Soviet Union. I am saddened I have seen no public figure stand up against the censorship. I doubt most of them understand the issue.

And they still delude themselves that they are objective journalists.
Doubt he even saw the movie.
