This is am important cultural & political moment b/c (1) the left is trying once again to ensure its dishonest history prevails, and (2) it's a new opportunity (right after the Demagogues are trounced in the election!) for all of us to try to ensure that the propaganda does not prevail this time.
I was amazed to see that this review/plug is written by Matt Cooper of legal and unethical notoriety during Plamegate!
He parrots every ‘Rat talking point and is visibly relieved that the film focuses upon ‘personal’ turmoil for Joe and Valerie Wilson rather than on the journalists, b/c that way it can be a propaganda sympathy story for how poooor Valerie’s life is upset by the eviilll empire.
No inconvenient focus upon lying lib journalists becoming part of the story.....
I predict more people were at that DC Union rally than will see this film. None the less it will be nominated for an Oscar.
key actors who will be entirely ignored, or else whitewashed, or simply fictionalized to serve lib talking points:
Richard Armitage
Colin Powell
Joe Wilson
Valerie Plame
Matt Cooper
David Corn
Patrick Fitzgerald
etc.
If those 7 (and others) could be required somehow to tell all they know and how the worked to bring down the Bush admin., the public understanding of the real history would be vastly enhanced.
They could do it documentary style, and use all of the actual documents and other hard evidence available to explain his life story.
Chapter 1 - (all from his “autobiography) Where he grew up, where he smoked pot and snorted cocaine, who he hung out with, etc.
Chapter 2 - All his school records, college records, etc. (since there are none, the director could just make it up, like Michael Moore did)
Chapter 3 - All of his community organizing, social connections, religious teachings, etc. (since there isn't much of a record here either, the director could cover his black theology, racist connections, and then make up whatever seems to fit best)
With such a small amount of actual documentation even providing the basic information that everyone else has, the movie shouldn't run more than an hour or so. And since Obama seems to have made up most of his life history, he shouldn't have much problem if the director does also.
Plamegate = Stupidest and most confusing “-gate” EVER. The movie will stink, no one will watch it, it will make little money, receive many pointless awards, and further Hollywood’s march towards doom by continuing the emphasis of radical politics over profits.
Cheney’s office never tasked Joe Wilson to do anything. Valerie Plame and a group of liberals she worked with came up with the idea. She was never said to be a secretary—she was said to have a desk job and most certainly wasn’t super spy when her name came out. Why was her name brought up? There were questions to Cheney’s office wondering
why they would ask a liberal dem that had vowed to destroy the Bush presidency and wanted to “frog march” him out of the white house to go looking for yellowcake in Niger. It was only after a reporter(I have my suspicions of who one of them was) told someone in the Bush administration that Joe Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA and that maybe she tasked her husband to be the super spy to find out if the yellowcake existed that people in the administration used her name and then only when reporters asked why he was sent. This was fraud of the highest order by a group who wanted to discredit Bush and Cheney. Joe Wilson had no qualifications other than he knew a few people. We had qualified CIA operatives that were already over there that could have done a credible investigation. I think Cheneys office asked a question about WMD’s and Valerie and Joe came up with their plan to act outraged because truth is of the utmost importance to them. Little problem—the Senate issued a report she lied to them when she said she wasn’t involved in sending her husband. Notice also with Obama in WH we aren’t getting CIA and State Dept leaks weekly? Valerie didn’t look too distraught when she and hubby did photo spread and said they had picked out the stars they wanted to play them in a movie. It is time to expose these frauds often and loudly if they choose to get in the spot light again. The media is guilty of perpetuating the lies and leave out big chunks of the facts.
