''The Path to 9/11'': Political Partisan Gamesmanship

An Open Letter

To: Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid
Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin
Senator Debbie Stabenow
Senator Charles Schumer
Senator Byron Dorgan

Subject: Your Letter to Disney President and CEO Robert Iger

I just read your letter to Mr. Robert Iger of the Disney Corporation. In it, you complained about the upcoming ABC miniseries/docudrama, "The Path to 9/11." Apparently, you seem to think that the program may be biased, and you're asking the network people to pull the program. You also seem to be saying that if they don't do what you demand, you'll pull their plug.

Since when do you have the right to make such a request? Or to make implied threats against an independent broadcasting company? Since when do you have the right to complain about a program that shows individuals from BOTH parties who dropped the ball on the years, months, and hours preceding that terrible September morning, but ONLY complain about how YOUR party's representatives are, well, represented? Since when do you have the right to deny Americans the freedom of choice to watch or not watch a program?

Let's face a few facts here. Clinton and his band of boobs (I'm referring to his staff, not his harem) screwed up several times in regard to terrorism in general, Al Qaeda specifically, and Usama bin Laden in particular. To trot out comments from Jamie Gorelick to defend your indefensible position is particularly obtuse, seeing that she was the architect of the "wall" which kept much of the intelligence data fragmented and segregated. To ***** and crab and piss and moan about how people in your party are "depicted" is quite typical of your ilk, I understand, but it is also markedly obscene. You're more concerned about your "image" as a party than you are about getting to the ROOT CAUSES of 9/11, or to have those presented to the American people.

You're so scared of any criticism, that you are actually threatening one of your own arms of the mainstream media, a group that has served your propagandist purposes well enough for many, many years.

You, as well as the other complainers from your side of the aisle (all the way up to your hero, the former fornicator-in-chief) have shown singular disregard for the safety of this nation and the security of her people.

And yet, oddly enough, you've not said one word of complaint about any potential "inaccuracies" which might have happened from the rep/con/tair side of the aisle. Your political opponents aren't all coming up smelling like roses here either. Condi Rice, if I'm not mistaken, gets a particular boot in the backside for some of her actions in the months leading up to 9/11. Maybe that's deserved; maybe that's unfair. However, you seem to have little time to devote to inaccuracies that you think help make you look good and your political opponents look bad.

You also haven't been too hard on the mainstream media when they repeatedly screw up their news investigations regarding this administration, or their slanted coverage of this war. So your sudden conversion to media avenger seems a bit, shall we say, hollow.

I know you're pretty isolated up in that ivory tower of yours, but here's a little quote from a document you should have committed to memory:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I would also like to remind you of a certain oath you took when you first obtained power:

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

It seems that you guys aren't all that bothered with little things like the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or your oath before God to defend said Constitution and to bear true faith and allegiance to it. Well, not when it's politically inconvenient, that is.

So, let me make this easy for you. Retract the letter, and apologize to Mr. Iger, President Bush, his administration, the United States Armed Forces, and every single American Citizen. Immediately.

If you don't comply prior to the airing date of the miniseries, I will make a formal request to the Justice Department to have you formally investigated for an attempted violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, as well as a direct violation of your oath of office, and a charge of abuse of power. Since your actions would also have the direct effect of providing aid and comfort to the enemy during a time of war, I will also request that you be investigated on charges of treason and attempted sedition. I'll further request that President Bush revive an old but effective tradition for chief executives during times of war. Guys like Lincoln and your own hero FDR used that tradition to great effect.

I think it's called a gallows.

Signed, With Utter Disgust and Contempt for You and the Horse You Rode In On,

Doc Farmer

Looks like our friend at Scrappleface, Scott Ott, has taken a lighter (and shorter) approach to this issue...

I'm hoping Disney President and CEO Robert Iger is getting tons of letters like this, in addition to the ones he's getting from the democratic "leaders".

We'll find out Monday, I guess.

Perhaps what we're seeing here are further indicies of a growing rift between "moderate liberalism" (it DOES exist ya know? See Joe Lieberman) and the Dean/Pelosi wing of uber-lunatic whackos.

It's not a rift. The Clinton shock troops have gone to the trenches and lit off the Ken Starr Treatment for Iger. Any good moonbat would hang in feces to help the Cause and hang in feces they do. These are the self same honorables who mustered on the South Lawn to denounce Monica.

Me#1 brings up an interesting point in all this IMHO. Remember that there is a growing segment of the left-of-center party who is becoming more and more disenchanted with Hillary Clinton (preferring a more far-left, anti-war, etc., candidate). Even though Hollywood as a whole were big supporters of Bill, haven't they recently cooled considerably on Hillary?

Is it possible that ABC and Disney and all the other left-leaning people who produced The Road to 9/11 were blindsided by the criticism they've been receiving, because they fell into the trap, or with malice of forethought, of deciding that Clinton's idolated legacy was no longer in need of burnishing?

H-m-m-m... A scenario like that would certainly help to explain why ABC and Disney made a film that could be critical of Clinton in the first place (which IMHO is completely out of character), and why they apparently didn't expect all the criticism from the Democratic machine.

If it were possible to go to the Clinton administration and get the truth about what happened I can see ABC meeting with them and then presenting the program. The truth is though the Clintons and their administration under oath Lied to a federal judge and to the American People. Do we really think anything they are saying today could possibly be the truth. Does it really matter what was said or who said it or is the truth really in the fact that the stain was on the Blue Dress.

Actually that was a "Black" dress. I agree with you. The fact that they protest so much only serves to prove how in the end your lies do find you out and truth, one way or another, does and will prevail.
