Hey, I had Chicked Kiev at the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong in 1990.

How funny!

Meanwhile, in Denmark, a newspaper has reprinted the Iranian cartoons comparing Palestinians to Holocaust victims.

A Danish newspaper has printed cartoons about the Holocaust commissioned by Iran after cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad triggered violent protests. The newspaper - Information - published six of the cartoons, which are on display in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Several of the cartoons contrast the plight of the Palestinians with that of the victims of the Holocaust.

Editor-in-chief Palle Weis said he had thought carefully about publishing the cartoons and said it was not a stunt.

He told the BBC the cartoons accompanied a news story about the exhibition. He said they were "tasteless but predictable".

Information said it had decided to print the cartoons after consulting the main rabbi in Copenhagen.

"He said he had seen worse examples," editor-in-chief Mr Weis told the BBC.

One of the cartoons, by a Moroccan cartoonist, shows a scene bisected by the barrier being constructed in the West Bank by Israel.

On one side, a gravestone reading "Holocaust" and bearing a Star of David stands in the sunshine. Underneath the ground is buried a single skull.

On the other side, it is night-time. A gravestone here says "Sabra and Shatila" - a reference to infamous massacres carried out in Lebanon in 1982 by Lebanese Christian militiamen allied to Israel - underneath a Palestinian flag. Underneath the ground are buried scores of skulls.

"Our readers would be disappointed if we didn't print the cartoons," Mr Weis said.

Like it really changes anything. These goons are only making the show seem more interesting.

The truth is a dangerous thing to the L3.

Will somebody, in answer, anonymously register "pathtodeceit.com" and redirect it to the same place?

the leftists remind me of the muslims who hate us so much. they are "permanently victimized" with "no way out," so any dirty deeds they do are justified.

the only problem is that unless you share their radical and paranoid views, you look at them and understand that they can never be trusted with real power. if the republicans have a clue, they will use these antics in future campaigns. in campaigns across the nation, republican or independent candidates must shed harsh light on the actions of these nuts and demand that their democratic opponents condemn them. and if the candidates from the left decline to do so, they need to be held accountable for the despicable acts being done on their behalf.

I for one welcome our new Stalinist overlords at the DNC :)

Hey guess what, I just discovered you can use their online mass email module to send ANY message you like to ABC/Disney. I sent this note to ABC:

Please don't knuckle under to pressure from political action groups to edit or cancel this important documentary. The public has a right to know the truth and ABC has an obligation to tell the truth.

Didn't some LaMontos supporters use a DOS attack against the Leiberman campaign's website right before the primary?

/some freedom of speech

How foolish the Dems and the left are. They are bringing far more attention to the behavior of the Clinton White House then if the movie had just aired as scheduled.

And the veiled threat to pull ABC's license, yeah, I'm sure what House Dems want is reopened hearing on the failures of Clinton's foreign policy.

How dumb can they get?

I just googled "pathto911". First on the list,
Democrats.org. Went page 4 and did not see any positives. I guess "they" are really doing it.

When and on what channels is this thing supposed to air, again? I want to make sure I see it (if the Thought Police at Dem HQ will allow it, that is).

Unethical?!
Balderdash!

Yesterday I gave my comments on this very subject via the DNC web site.

Today, I recieved an email from the DNC telling me what I should do in retalliation for the slanderous treatment of Pope Clinton.

So, I promplty clicked on the link to be removed from their email propaganda list. I then was directed to a web page demanding a four digit code before I could be removed. The code, I was promised, had been sent to me at the self same email address from whence I demanded removal.

As of this moment I have...

...wait for it...

Dems to ABC: We’ll Yank License, Talking Points
by Scott Ott, ScrappleFace

(2006-09-08) — Top Senate Democrats, outraged over inaccuracies in the upcoming ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11, today said that in addition to yanking the network’s broadcast license, if the show airs Democrats might also withhold from ABC News the daily distribution of Democrat talking points.

A spokesman for Disney-owned ABC News said that while the network could weather the revocation of its broadcast license, thanks to the proliferation of cable and satellite TV, the loss of the Democrat talking points would force the news division to hire dozens of new reporters to fill the void in its newscasts.

Meanwhile, Scholastic Inc. recalled a Path to 9/11 study guide which it had offered to 25,000 high school teachers nationwide, and replaced it with “a more balanced, traditional teaching tool” prepared by MoveOn.org with help from Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore.

Powerline has a post up about the releasing of the report from congress regarding the pre war intelligence. I have one piece of advice for those who criticise the intelligence used to go to war in Iraq.
Everybody of that intelligence was finally confirmed or denied by putting boot on the ground inside the country. As it always is once you are able to examine the evidence yourself some information you have will be proven other portions will be disproved. But just like Iran is doing now if Saddam had not been so defiant we would never have invaded and the veracity of the intelligence would still be a subject of debate in academic circles.

I hate to be motivated by schaudenfraude but I hope this scores big ratings so I can see the DUmmies crying.

No doubt the DNC & Team have been taking a page out of the Fatah and Hamas playbook for this stunt.

In other words, the "anonymous" nature of the action taken here (or, if the stunt gets traced to real individuals, the ostensibly "arms-length" or "unconnected" nature of it) allows the DNC higher-ups and marquee pols the specious benefits of "deniability."

Black September terrorist atrocities in the 1970's in theory permitted Arafat the license to deny any connection to his Fatah. More of the same from the onset of the Arafat-directed terror war from 2000. In the Hamas sphere, supposed "splinter" or "offshoot" groups allegedly beyond Hamas organized control have been behind Kassam rocket-launchings, Centanni/Wiig-type kidnappings, and other barbarities.

Obviously, in truth, nobody (except LLL willing dupes) is fooled--although the circumstantial deniability is indeed reinforced by fairly decent tracks-covering by the various groups involved.

In this Path to 9/11 case, presumably the DNC & Co. figure this same approach is worth a shot--after all, no one has busted the technique's originators (Fatah and Hamas) too much on it yet.

If specific individuals do get flushed out into the open with this website-switching stunt, expect them to take another Fatah/Hamas technique into the political-discourse mainstream: the perpetrators will claim expression-oppression due to Jewish-influenced corporate media consolidation, which is after all the greater threat to our lives and the Republic than Islamist mass-murder.

I hate to see my babymamma upset :o

LMAO!

My gawd, what desperation... They are absolutely terrified of this movie. Thats pure fear right there, which means theres a lot of truth in it.

If they'd actually produce policies that do something useful, they wouldnt be in this little bind. Yet they continue to let their bush-hatred override any sense of rationality, and as a result go out of their way to do anything to hurt bush... Of course, when the truth of their actions presents itself, they have to go overboard to hide it.

People notice that kind of thing, and how much it hurts the rest of the country, yet they do not care, which is exactly why they will lose the next elections.

Until they start doing things that help and benefit this country, *without* regard as to whether or not it hurts Bush as their sole/primary motivator, they stand no real chance.

Date: Sep 8, 2006 12:11 PM
Subject ABC Distorts 9/11
Body: ACTFORCHANGE ACTIVISM UPDATE: September 8th,
2006

** URGENT ALERT **

ABC's 9/11 Distortions Get Even Worse

On September 10th and 11th, ABC is planning to air a "docu-drama" called "Path to 9/11," which is being billed as "an objective telling of the events of 9/11." In fact, the film was written by an unabashed conservative who twists the facts to blame President Clinton.

And since we wrote you on Wednesday, new details have emerged that show EVEN MORE distortions and intentional conservative slant to the program.

Tell ABC to cancel this show -- and Scholastic, Inc. not to distribute it in our nation's schools. Click here

Among the latest developments:

- Approximately 900 copies went out to conservative bloggers and media personalities such as Rush Limbaugh -- but the producers flat-out refused to send a copy to former President Bill Clinton for review.
- The show's producers have reassured conservatives that "blame on the Clinton team is [still] in the DNA of the project."
- ABC has teamed up with Scholastic, Inc -- a textbook publisher -- to offer this propaganda with an accompanying "study guide" to 100,000 teachers across America.

It's simply STUNNING to think that as this fall's election approaches, a major television network (which pretends to be politically neutral) would devote six hours of prime-time programming to air such a slanted and wildly inaccurate program. It's unacceptable
-- and we all need to take action to prevent it from happening.

Tell ABC and Scholastic to cancel the broadcast airing of this show, as well as its distribution to schools and teachers. Click here

I went if the hijacked page and rewrote the letter to Mr. Iger:

Mr. Iger,

"The Path to 9/11" is the truth and honors the memory of 9/11 victims and serves americans everywhere as a wake-up call to what terrorists can do if we sleep. It is responsible and does not misrepresents the facts and completely tells the truth.

This film is not a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11 to blame anyone. You should honor the trust the public has given you with our public airwaves by keeping this documentary on the air.

If Sunday wasn't the 10th, I'd swear ABC/ESPN/Disney/etc scheduled the miniseries to steal viewers away from the NBC Sunday Night Football Debut out of pique at going from owning two games per week to one.

"The Path to 9/11" is a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11th to blame Democrats. The Walt Disney Corporation could have given Americans an honest look at September 11. Instead, the company abandoned its duty to the truth -- and embraced the fiction known as "The Path to 9/11."

I have no problem with Pitt as long as he keeps his mouth shut and his shirt open.

Fox news just showed a collection of the scenes that may be edited out and discussed the "artistic license" angle. So - millions of people are seeing them, one way or another.

I thought the demos were supposedly the "progressive party". However, their use of power to censor this show constitutes violations of "Freedom of the Press", which is "amusing" since the demos have used the press to their maximum advantage.

Bottom line: What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I have no problem with your difference of opinion. When it amounts to something that should concern our safety and national sovereignty, despite party affiliation, I would like to hear the same jingoism in wanting the truth for such.

#48 Peacekeeper,

I wonder if Bin Laden has any hot interns?

He doesn't need interns when his women have the legal status of the average american family pet golden retriever. OBL has a reputation for living by his own rules, too, so I doubt that he keeps any cute pudgy Jewish girls around.

Let me tell you, if I was a millionaire terrorist mastermind, I'd have a bitchin' rad Evil Overlord Castle and I'd be asking for the hot Jewish girls AND the Pakistani bikini contest winners by name.

I just heard the screenwriter Cyrus...didn't catch the last name...on the Hannity radio show re: his "docudrama" Sean asked him if ABC caved and edited ...he said YES

Sean also asked if he thought ABC would pull it from airing all together. Cyrus thought that it WOULD air.

Cyrus said that the reason the Dems are freaking is because they only saw day one at the screening,IF they even saw it at all. Day one was "the Clinton years"... Day 2 is of the Bush years.

Guess they weren't interested in the Bush years.

In any case, Cyrus felt that no matter how much they (ABC) edited, viewers should come away with only one enemy...Al Qaida

#85 Desert Storm...

If you think of the term "Progressive" in the same way you think of all the old words and terms from Stalins USSR it becomes clearer.

Some good advice I recieved about the Dems was if they are using a term, they mean its opposite, and if they are accusing someone of something it means they already have done it or are doing it. Its scary how many times that this is true.

#76 - How fitting, the left takes the .org and the right takes the .com.

The sites themselves tell a lot about the difference between the two sides: Savage's site is crowded, info heavy and a little tacky but totally issue focused... while the democrat site is clean and organized with a nice color theme but is "breathtakingly vapid", focusing on tactics and petitions rather than issues.

Frankly I could care less about the content of this mini series.

What scares the bejeebers out of me is the fact that the dems have become so unhinged as to demand that this be pulled.

This is LOUD and BLARING wake up call as to what it would be like if the Dems get control of both houses of congress.

I wonder how many are merely hitting the snooze button and rolling over?

Left screams "freedom of speech" as long as it is their speech only!

Just one more reason to remind : Go buy that gun and learn to use it. The LLL government to come is not going to protect you.

another 2 cents

Isn't the case that some of the 9/11 Commissioners have also condemned the production?

The DNC is really cranking up the pressure:

Dear Robert Iger:

We write as professional historians, who are deeply concerned by the
continuing reports about ABC's scheduled broadcast of "The Path to
9/11." These reports document that this drama contains numerous
flagrant falsehoods about critical events in recent American history.
The key participants and eyewitnesses to these events state that the
script distorts and even fabricates evidence into order to mislead
viewers about the responsibility of numerous American officials for
allegedly ignoring the terrorist threat before 2000.

The claim by the show's producers, broadcaster, and defenders, that
these falsehoods are permissible because the show is merely a
dramatization, is disingenuous and dangerous given their assertions
that the show is also based on authoritative historical evidence.
Whatever ABC's motivations might be, broadcasting these falsehoods,
connected to the most traumatic historical event of our times, would be
a gross disservice to the public. A responsible broadcast network
should have nothing to do with the falsification of history, except to
expose it. We strongly urge you to halt the show's broadcast and
prevent misinforming Americans about their history.

Sincerely,

Just one that I know of: Ben Veniste, the Democrats' partisan hit man on the Commission.

#61 Sir Lurksalot:

I hate to be motivated by schaudenfraude but I hope this scores big ratings so I can see the DUmmies crying.

For the Dems, the worst of all possible worlds would be to make this much of a public stink about the film and yet still fail to suppress it. They have just given it so much publicity that it's bound to get higher ratings now than it would have before.

These kinds of miniseries have traditionally gotten lousy ratings--the one on John Paul II was a dud in the ratings. If the Democrats had been more clever, they would have asked ABC give them a couple hours of uninterrupted airtime to reply to the film--and schedule that reply in October, just before the November elections. That way the Democrats have a couple hours of interrupted airtime, paid for by ABC, to say whatever they want, a month after the film has aired and been forgotten, and only a couple weeks before the November elections.

But Howard Dean and the other Democrats reacted before thinking it through.

Get a load of this one. The left is using every dirty trick and sneaky internet ploy in the book to shut down ABC’s The Path to 9/11, and here’s the latest.

It depends on your definition of "load"

-- Bill Clinton

A comment on digg is trying to say this post is inaccurate - i know nothing about redirects, etc so don't have a response

"Uh, if they registered the domain, it wasn't "hijacked" as your source claims. They didn't take it by force, it was registered... if ABC wanted it they could have registered it before the docudrama was publicized. After whois'ing the domain, it's evident to me that there was plenty of time for anyone who wanted it, to register it. This guy got to it first and did with it what he wanted."

Now the Left is actually urging that Disney/ABC be blackmailed into canceling the film--threaten to put trademarks like Mickey Mouse into the public domain:

Time to Take Away Disney's Political Candy
by Matt Stoller

...There is a window of time now for Mr. Iger to step up, an 'apologize for Tylenol tampering' moment. He needs to cancel this miniseries, and take personal responsibility for inadequate oversight. He should privately fire the people responsible for this total disaster of a project, and apologize. That's the only way to restore Disney's brand among a large group of very angry people. Be brave, be public, and be honorable. It'll work.

And what will happen if he doesn't? Well, it's not just boycotts. Those are probably going to happen, but that's not what Iger has to worry about, or his corporate brethren. You see, Disney has a number of political objectives, as is obvious from the donor patterns of their corporate executives and their lobbying behavior.

One of them is the egregiously awful broadcast flag. Disney is leading the effort to give Hollywood control over how your TV and TiVo are built and what you can do with programs you watch. This is in the Stevens bill before the Senate. Democrats didn't really have any reason to deny Disney its political candy, since Disney was thought to be responsible with its content, or at least not overtly insane. Their credibility on this front is going quickly, and donations to Chuck Schumer aren't the palliative they once were.

Another is copyright extensions, which Disney has used to keep its perpetual license on characters like Mickey Mouse, who should by now have fallen into the public domain. Democrats didn't really have any reason to think that this was anything but a dispute over intellectual property, with corporations like Disney having motives that are only as pure as Snow White, versus pirates bent on stealing songs and movies by hardworking artists. Now that Disney's credibility is going, lobbyists for Disney are going to find it tougher on Capitol Hill, and lobbyists for the Creative Commons movement are going to find a much easier reception. Iger knows there's a movement bent on routing around his unreasonable and political control of free speech through copyright extremism. He's got a choice on whether he gives that movement a whole lot of real political power.

And thing Disney wants is media consolidation. Disney wants to buy everything, since media is seen as a scale business. It's pretty obvious to Democrats if this movie airs that Disney is not a responsible public steward of the airwaves it controls right now. Why should they be allowed to engulf even more assets? Like Creative Commons, the free media movement is growing rapidly, and it is a real movement that could receive a dollop of political power thanks to Disney's exceptionally and impressively poor judgment.

Mr. Iger has a choice about what to do here. I don't imagine he'll make the right choice, but he might.

The only person on the HuffBlog to comment that this is out-and-out blackmail was a conservative. Every left-winger thought it was a cool idea.

I guess they don't remember that misusing government agencies to screw over political opponents was one of the charges in Nixon's bill of impeachment.

Isn't the case that some of the 9/11 Commissioners have also condemned the production?

Keane gave it a thumbs up and he was the head of the commission. D'uh.

I was listening to O'Reielly on talk radio today, and he was interviewing William Kohn, Secretary of Defense, appointed by President William Clinton.

Mr. Kohn stated “The Clinton Administration was far too busy worrying about Saddam Hussein to even think about bin Laden.”

Secretary Cohen is an idiot. Yes, old Bubbster showed he is a bi-partisan by bringing the left of center Republican Cohen into the fold. If they were so worried about Saddam, then why was he still around on 1/20/01? Too bad O'Reilly isn't on out here anymore, would have loved to have heard it.

Mr. Kohn stated “The Clinton Administration was far too busy worrying about Saddam Hussein Monica Lewinsky to even think about bin Laden.”

There ...fixed it for ya :O)

Tim Roemer appeared on Fox this AM, and he was objecting too.

If ABC cannot trust Democrats to protect ABC’s constitutional rights, how can the Americans trust them to protect ours?

terri-

because he was even MORE worried about how to get the stain out of Monica's blue dress.

Hey I just went to the link and told them to run the show and screw the Democratic Stalinist party. Hope more do the same.
Think that they will know that my name isn't Leftist Suck?

The tide just keeps rolling out for the Republicans.

That's because the film is on it's way to debunk the Path to Fahrenheit 9/11

Well I can't blame President Clinton for ignoring Bin Laden and other national affairs if he was busy getting b**wjobs. More power to him. Sometimes you have to give up other activities for good sex.

Why is Sandy Berger not in orange pajamas and Scooter Libby being prosecuted? It all seems so political to me. It's one reason the MSM should keep their biased noses out of this news. They tend to tilt the political scales when they weigh in their unrepresented opinions.

I don't give much weight to the "sex" prosecution of Clinton or the "small lie" prosecution of Libby. The special prosecutor system in both cases is a bunch of crap. It's a sign of a weakened nation. As is the political prosecutions of the Duke Lax team, or the Tom Delay prosecution in Texas. How can I ever believe a prosecutor?

As a citizen I want some integrity in these prosecutions. It's ok if old white men get jaded with power and feel they can twist events to fit their predilictions. That is what happens when you get old

#122 John Kerry's complete military records

The tide just keeps rolling out for the Republicans.

Isn't that what you posted in September 2004? Or was it after the exit polls?

Clinton had Osama in the crosshairs during the same time Monica had him by the pubic hairs.

it's tv folks get a grip

no, it's real life. and it's governmental bullying.

i have no problem with folks pitching a fit over accuracy. i much prefer accuracy over "artistic license." the concept of "docudrama" bothers me a little. and i'm not upset that scholastic decided to not use the path to 9/11 as a teaching tool.

however: i strongly disapprove of the bully tactics used by:

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid

Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin

Senator Debbie Stabenow

Senator Charles Schumer

Senator Byron Dorgan

i contacted abc, and told them that truth is better than fiction, but that they must not cave in to such bullying tactics.

Dear DNC:

The Communications Act of 1934 provides you network airtime for rebuttal of political issues predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation as a trustee of the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of politicians to serve the civic needs of the republic by promoting an open and accurate discussion of ideas and events.

You have nuanced miserably and are declared irrelevant.

For the first time in my life, I am afraid of this future of this country.

I wasn't afraid of the Soviet threat. I wasn't afraid on 9/11 and the war on terror that followed 9/11. I always believed in America and its ability to defeat our enemies and the enemies of freedom in the long run.

Now, seeing the libs and moonbats engaging in censoring a mainstream media outlet because they don't like the content of a film, I am afraid for this country if these people get back in power.

It's now obvious that the left in this country only want power and doesn't believe in freedom. Many people have said that America can only be bought down from within. I am afraid that if the left regains power in this country they destroy our freedoms in order to stay in power.

It's probably too late in the day to reply to this thread, but I need to.

If I were younger I'd think about movint to NZ where the majority are still sane.

I wrote to Harry Reid today and told him his letter to ABC was politcal blackmail and he should be ashamed. Sent a copy to ABC and said if they fold they should be ashamed as well. A docudrama is a docudrama.

Terms such as looney, unhinged, no longer cover what has happened to the dems.

No, its not.

Kean, one of the top ranking members of the Commission, saw the series and approved of it wholeheartedly.

I wouldn't be suprized it it was the DNc that did this.

This is what you get for telliing the truth about Dem lies. Imagine if a Republican did this to say Moore?

Actually, directing such a link to the Dems is kind of appropriate. They were, effectively, the path to 9/11 happening, almost as if they layed out a red carpet to the terrorists.

You know, if you consider the situation with Fahrenheit 9/11 for a moment, your blood will begin to boil.

At first I was mad- but then thought if it was a question: The Path to 9/11? ... The DNC It works for me. Sort of like everything the Dems do, backfires. Except harming America & helping terrorists and criminals. They're good at that.
