Open Post Weekend: The path to 911 edition

Published by Karl under 9/11, Democrats

My only observation tonight is that the intensity and the idiocy surrounding the ABC movie is really gone to crazy extremes, with so many left wing politicians lining up to demand it be pulled - not edited or corrected, but pulled.

Since Clinton will look bad no matter what, this is not a shock to me.  But as I have noted before, the Democrats play loose with their consistency, and their credibility when they do not condemn things like the Reagan Miniseries, the CBS’s Memogate and Michael Moore’s Fantasy Flick Glaring-Spite Fahrenheit 9/11 (the temperature at which Michael Moore’s credibility implodes).  Hollywood itself is also complicit in this hypocritical witch hunt.

Two notes for you here, concerning this:

First, in a scary bit of irony the movie got one MSM supporter, and a surprising one at that:

The NY Times.

‘NYT’ Calls Controversial 9/11 Movie Evenhanded, Others Disagree

NEW YORK The film-makers and network responsible for the upcoming miniseries, "The Path to 9/11," which is now under assault for its alleged conservative bias, received critical support from a perhaps unexpected quarter on Friday — The New York Times.

The paper’s TV critic, Alessandra Stanley, declares the film "fictionalized" but still evenhanded.

Hardly a glowing recommendation but still surprising.  Next will we see Jimmy Carter endorse it?

And the comment really does address the real issue:  The movie may portray particular specific scenes incorrectly, but it is not overly biased, nor is it inconsistent with the generalized findings of the 911 Commission which noted both administrations did not fully comprehend the threat.  The movie conveys that, from all sources.

The second piece is from my friend Sister Toldjah, who has once again rounded up some great information about the demands to censor and bury the movie.

Am I living in some alternative reality here?

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, we find out this evening through several news links provided by Allah that rather than revise ABC’s “The Path to 9-11“, the Demofascists want it pulled altogether.
