Yep. Me thinks they doth protest too much.

[PogySailor]

Boy, they are still howling. I think my theory that they are more concerned about protecting the "Narrative" gets better every day.

[leftcoaster]

"Since the inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1992, Horowitz has labored to create a network of politically active conservatives in Hollywood."

He sure has all his "facts" down pat.

[subterfuge]

This guy doesn't seem to realize that we all lived through the 90's and witnessed much of what was in the movie

The only thing that would placate the moonbat leftists is if the "drama" began January 20, 2006 and all the blame was put on George W. Bush.

[Robert DeLong]

to counter its supposedly liberal bias

LOL, this guy is in total denial. Even Hollywood proudly admits that it is liberal and biased.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Iger now bears ultimate responsibility for authorizing the product of a well-honed propaganda operation--a network of little-known right-wingers working from within Hollywood to counter its supposedly liberal bias.

HA, ha!

It's all about entitlement, Emily.

The left believes it is entitled to power in Washington, and that it is entitled to say whatever it wants whenever it wants to on the airwaves or in print.

They believe that any TRUTH that comes out is an enfringement on their 'right' to manipulate information to support their bias.

That's why this offends them so much. It is certainly not right wing, but any production that doesn't slant heavily to the left is considered to be right wing propaganda.

This film exposed the nakedness of the xlinton administration when it came to terrorism, and they can't spin their way out of it.

[freespirited]

Nowrasteh's conservatism was on display

Max, did it ever occur to you that your moonbat leftism might be showing?

In 10 years (maybe sooner) you will look back on this semi-hysterical piece with complete embarrassment. Trust me on this one kiddo. I guarantee it.

P.S. There is nothing "far-right" about the eminently sane David Horowitz.

[Mad Dawg]

All week, ABC has withstood withering criticism ...[ my emphasis]

Withering? WITHERING? Withering my butt! This guy just throws scarey words around.

"Incontrovertible"? Please. And I love the part where when somebody describes the film as intelligent and pro-American, Max interprets that as praising it for being partisan.

Take away the guy's thesaurus, somebody, before he wastes our time again ....

[Gone GF]

I misread. Sorry.

[lady lawyer]

When faced with the truth, they all go back to Hillary's "vast right wing conspiracy" allegation to divert attention.

[ohioWfan]

All we have to do to point out the character difference between the left and right is to say the words, "Fahrenheit 9/11"

No governmental attempt to censor it. No letters from Senators threatening licenses. No threats from President Bush.

Yet it was all lies.

The lies were enumerated and corrected, but there was no attempt to shut down the film.

THIS one, however, documents the TRUTH, and the left can't take it.

Not only are they liars, but they are wimps.

[pesto]

I watched all of The Path to 9-11 and didn't see anything that was really democrat or Clinton bashing. I think the real "bad guy" of the movie was the government bureaucrats in all presidential administrations that are more worried about keeping their jobs and doing everything by the book than about protecting us. It was also a classical little guy in the field who knows best vs. the clueless bosses which is a pretty liberal theme if you ask me.
And I still haven't figured out what the democrats and Clinton are mad about, are they saying none of this is true, that they did get Usama when they had a chance? They need to get over themselves and admit that yes, in hindsight they should have gotten Usama when they had the chance, but hey we didn't know what he was capable of, sorry..but I don't expect that press release anytime soon..

[ohioWfan]

No problem. It happens in this kind of setting.

[aligncare]

... Don't conservatives have First Amendment rights?

Silly person...of course not! It's not as if the Libs know how to correctly apply the Bill of Rights, silly.

[mainepatsfan]

They really need to update their play book.

[freedumb2003]

Last night what I saw was amazing. One side is clearly responsible for the mess they are in. Dirty tricks, massive mistakes, no sense of direction and a total disregard for the long- and medium-term results from even the smallest decision.

Oh wait. That was the Raider game.

"Ask the guy on the ground that Berger hung up on if it was fabricated or not, jackass."

Reading between the lines, that guy (Kirk) was actually CIA agent Mike Spann and he died in the early part of our Afghanan campaign.
