BREAKING: Rep. Peter King Asks For Probe Into White House’s Role in Bin Laden Movie

Posted By Hollywoodland On August 10, 2011 @ 9:23 am In Featured Story, Military, Politics | 79 Comments

Politico:

House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) on Wednesday demanded an investigation into a report that the White House is cooperating with a film on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

In a letter to the Defense Department and the CIA, King asked for a probe and classified briefing about any cooperation or consultation between the agencies and the film, set to be directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who made “The Hurt Locker” in 2008 which won six Oscars, including best picture and best director.

It’s just coincidence that it will be in theaters in October 2012, at the peak of the campaign. Ya right........

&&&&

It will be advertised heavily on all the networks and websites that the target audience [mindless robots] watch from September to November. A similar thing happened in Maryland, when Kathleen Kennedy was running for governor. One of the cable channels just happened to promote a laudatory movie about her father, Robert Kennedy, about every 15 minutes for at least two months.

Just a coincidence!

I’m sure Obama will talk up killing Bin Laden as a major achievement.

Is it still true that the majority of democrats pay NO INCOME TAXES at all?

Those living off tax dollars don't pay taxes. They consume them. This is the democrat base. If they paid taxes, they'd be Republicans.
Every election the democrats HAVE to offer some kind of new free handout or the democrat base (freeloaders) won't get out of bed to vote. Watch for those freebies, because you're the one who's going to have to pay for them. Every democrat vote has been purchased with your tax money.

Total waste of time and resources to investigate this. Hollywood would be GLAD to make this movie for free if it will help the One.

True, but it's probably not so much the content of such a movie as its release date. The producers don't want to wait until the topic is stale, but the political interests want to wait until just before the election. If there's been any collusion, it's probably over that issue.

demanded an investigation into a report that the White House is cooperating with a film on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

According to almost every news source their is, Oboma let the producers see documents even the American tax payers weren't allowed to see. From the way they all talked about this film, Oboma was giving them all the inside info they wanted (his version only, of course).

Of course this is a Hollywood campaign commercial. If someone were to have made a heroic film about Bush after 9/11 and right before his reelection, the left would have gone so far over the edge, they'd have disappeared.

Oboma should not be using anything having to do with 9/11. It's really not his place. Without the work of the Bush administration, Osoma would still be alive today.

Start a boycott of this film (especially on Face book. It could be a teen movement), because the hypocrite Oboma has been cuddling up to and is now funding the very group that created Bin Ladin.

The efforts of the brave Seals, who are now mourning for their brothers, are being used to pimp for an empty suit President who has no hope of winning the 2012 election on his record. Hollywood will cast him as a combination of Alexander the Great, Aristotle and Captain America, in a continutation of the fraud they created prior to 2008. Obama is America’s first fictional President - is Mickey Mouse next in line?

How does this relate to “The Undefeated” ?

I am curious if Oblahblah will use the Undefeated as an excuse not to have to scrap his “re-election movie”....

It is worth looking into this to see if any laws are broken by giving Hollywood idiots classified information,

Holy Crap! You mean there's still information they haven't spewed on every talk show yet? I thought when I saw the article last week that named the dog on the mission we'd gotten everything.

It is no secret Obama has hollywood donations and fundraisers

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/07/fewer-fundraisers-join-obama-reelection-effort/1

Rahm’s brother? As well as there are c/o the Obama admin leaking the OBL raid details; complete with staged photo op pics. So I think the loose lips in the Obama admin (even those in Chicago that are all tied together) need investigated.

Note to King: Find out when the movie was given the green light. Just exactly how long has this thing been in the works. What SONY knew, when it knew it, and just how much it new. And was any classified info leaked in order to get the deal done.

IIRC, this thing was given the green light back in January, months before UBL was killed. If that’s the case, then that green light opens up one mother of a can of worms.

If the White house collaborated with this it does fall under campaign finance laws, some have said.
