Hillary's ready for her own run at history. With the help of the communist censors at VH-1!

People are emailing their disgust over Vh1's editing out the boos that greeted Hillary; see the message board:

Subject: VH1 Censorship of NYC Concert
Author: michael110857
Date: 12/26/01 08:48 PMThere were 3 instances of censrorship in the 12/25 rebroadcast of the Concert for NYC.
The first was the blatant doctoring of the Hillary Clinton speech. All the booing was deleted. It would have been bad enough if they had just edited out the boos and jeers that accompanied her speech. But they did worse than that. They actaully added sounds that made it sound like she was being cheered. This is a deliberate falsification of the historical record of an important event. This was especially significant in that the reception accorded to Senator Clinton was a watershed event in many ways, and I think it will be remembered as an early harbigner of a sea change in American politics.
The second censored item was the partial deletion of Mike Moran's impromptu speech. The specific part cut out was when Mike took off his hat to show Osama bin Laden what he looked like, and dared Osama to come get him so to speak. Then he called bin Laden "bitch". I think they censored this reference because the word "bitch" could possibly be intended as an anti-gay slur. If that is how Mike intended it, that's regrettable. But it doesn't justify censorhsip by VH1.
When VH1 is finally forced to explain their conduct, as they will be, don't settle for any exuses like they cut out the word "bitch" simply because decorum requires deleting vulgarities. (They left in Adam Sandler's oral sex jokes, as well as the words "dink" "cock" and "sh*t".)
Third, VH1 had its VJ "explain" that Mike's words "came from anger and pain" because he lost is own brother in the attack. There is no doubt that Mike is going through hell over the loss of his brother. But why does VH1 feel the need to patiently explain his comments, as if they were in some way unseemly or inappropriate. His words of anger were perfectly approriate given the murderous attack on our nation. They do not require politically correct qualifiers from VH1.
VH1 should do 2 things; 1) apologize for deliberately distorting the truth. 2) Promise that any videos they sell of the concert will depict what actually happened, not the VH1 doctored version.
I doubt they will do this, and they will probably censor me too.
This instance of censorship definitely needs to be seen by Drudge, especially since he and Rush brought the original recording to the airwaves shortly following the concert.
If anyone sees this 'product' prominently displayed there (in the way they displayed Redstones hagiography), it may be useful to voice your sentiments in that venue too.
You morons at VH1 can alter the tape all you want but everyone knows queen hillary was booed off the stage. I give a big moosefart in your general direction VH1 for your lame attempt at covering it up. Who ever came up with this stupid idea should have his crack pipe confiscated until he apologizes to the whole class for being a dumbass.
Great post!
FReegards,

editing out boos and replacing with crowd noise.. that's what stalin used to do. vh1 i am booing you.
Could it be VH1 is owned by Viacom,the parent company of Simon& Schuster,the book publisher that awarded Hillary(the smartest women in the world) $8 million for a book she won't have to write until next year? Perhapes VH1 was protecting Viacom's interest $$$$.and of course censorship is OK for Liberal venues like (VH1) if it is to Their advanage.
VH1's censorship and revisionism realy realy sucks. They would be better off just editing out Hilary then changing it. Disgusting. I am sure if it was Bob Dole tripping off the stage or George Bush being booed we wouldn't be seeing this. I use to laugh when people said media bias. I do not laugh anymore.
"Why do Americans ALWAYS confuse Holland with Denmark?"

---the reason is because we have mall parking lots that are bigger than these two countries.
FReegards,
Thank you very, very, very much.
Heaves HUGE sigh of relief, and logs off before she can embarrass self further.
See y'all.
Listen carefully. You should be hearing footsteps outside your door just about now. Bye!
