Senate Democratic leadership threatens Disney with legal and legislative sanctions

For those who are planning to sit out the election in a temper tantrum:
This is going to happen on a daily basis once you help the Dims get in office.

All the more reason ABC should air this WITHOUT any edits, whatsoever.

F the Democrats, their lame, empty threats and their stupid ignorant, and completely unrealistic views of 9/11 and what REALLY went down and who REALLY is to blame.

Have you are anyone seen the snake Carville? Has he crawled out of his hole to the camera lights yet?

The only one I've seen has been Roemer and the nitwit that was on Hannity & Colmes last night

either they are laying low because this blew up bigger then the thought it would

Or something else is up

Though I did hear a audio clip of Clinton this morning saying this mini series isn't accurate and shouldn't be aired

"2. Time to play hardball like they do ...
Lawyer's letters re defamation suits for publishing in reckless disregard of the truth... Lawyer's letters re contesting TV license renewals..."

"10. Good. This is only shameless propaganda to help Republicans win the next election, anyway. And people *who were actually in the Clinton admin.* have said that the film is a bunch of lies. The people behind the film weren't actually there when the events they depict occurred. They are just friends of people like Limbaugh & GWB..."

"35. Yep. That's because largely the media is Republican. Either that, or they are in bed with the $$$ interests supporting the agenda that the Bush cabal is carrying out for the same $$$."

WOW! Incredible!

The Democrats have put more effort into this matter and letter than into the entire War on Terror.

Sorry for the leap-frog off your post FRitizen Lucky9teen ...

Just contacted Sen. Reid's office to express my displeasure with the Dem's censorship and the "chilling effect" it will have. ... must do it!

>>I agree, but where do we go to prosecute the violation?

Let's start with a Censure of the "Democratic party Leadership" by the house.

If we put it to a vote, the Pro Censorship party will either have to come out into the light, or abandon their "Leadership"

Are we living in the old Soviet Union? This letter is so over the line that it almost looks made up like its some kind of a joke... Like one of those internet urban legends that gets passed on and eventually written up on Snopes.com

I think that is a very good way to start. I want to see the 'pubs hold their feet to the fire.

will ABC fold ..Yes . you know they will. Klinton still holds big influence. This is only the begining if the Dems get in . This is Soviet style censorship and it will only get worse if they return to power.

The editing is still going on and the cover story is already in the works. See THIS column.

Here it is:

IT LOOKS LIKE ABC IS GOING TO CAVE

What drama!

ABC has a five-hour miniseries coming up titled "The Path to 9/11." The first episode airs this coming Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. This docu-drama is causing quite a stir in Washington ... and especially in the Clinton camp.

The problem, you see, is that in this movie the Clinton Administration is portrayed as treating Islamic terrorism as nothing more than a law enforcement problem. There is one scene in the move where Intelligence officials are discussing an attempt to kill or capture Osama bin Laden. The Clinton administration is refusing to authorize the action. Permission denied. The Clinton aide says that the problem is that Clinton views terrorism as largely a law enforcement problem. The intelligence official asks "How do you win a law and orderly war?" The aide responds "You don't."

You can sputter and spin all you want about President Bush and his handling of the war on Islamic fascism, you cannot deny that since 9/11 he has been dedicated to the cause of crushing Islamic terrorism over there before they bring it back over here. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Similarly -- there is no way in hell that any reasonable man can argue that the Clinton administration was dedicated to crushing Islamic terrorism. Clinton did indeed treat it like a law enforcement program. After the first Islamic terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 Clinton did not even bother to visit New York City to view the damage, talk to survivors and the families of those who lost their lives, or meet with NYC officials and first responders.

And what of the attack on the U.S. Cole? This was an attack on a U.S. Navy warship. Clinton was the Commander in Chief. The response? At best, lob a few cruise missiles. That's it. Nothing more.

So ... now the battle is joined. ABC has this miniseries ready to run. The producers say that it's largely based on the findings of the 9/11 Commission report as well as interviews with the people involved. Apparently the miniseries shows Clinton to be relatively unconcerned about terrorism, and not dedicated to the cause of bringing in bin Laden.

Will the Democrat pressure work? My guess is that it will, at least in part. ABC is already issuing statements to the effect that "The editing process is not yet complete." The Los Angeles Times is reporting that changes were made in the program this week after the Clintonistas started howling. Specifically targeted, according to the Times, was the scene where Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger declines to give an order to kill bin Laden.

By the way ... this really makes you wonder just what documents Sandy Berger stole from the National Archives, doesn't it?

Democrats sent a letter to Robert Iger, the President and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, the owner of ABC. That letter contained this interesting paragraph:

Now what is this paragraph really saying? Can you read between the lines? Here ... let me rewrite the paragraph by adding a few words. Perhaps it will be clearer to you.

"The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airways in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events. The licenses granted to the television stations you own and operate are not permanent. They are periodically subject to renewal. You may wish to remember this fact, and consider the probability that by the time those licenses come up for renewal the Democrats may be in control of both houses of Congress, and the wife of the man your miniseries defames may well be the President of the United States"

Get the message?

Don't these guys belong to the same party that distributed tens of thousands of Fahrenheit 9/11 DVDs to schools for the 2004 elections?

I mean the Democrats, not the DSUSA.
