Senate Democrat fascists attempt to squash the 1st amendment

The following is a letter sent to ABC by Senators Harry Reid, Dick "Turban" Durbin, Debbie Stabenow, Chuck Schumer and Byron Dorgan, all democrats, all liberals. The Comments in bold are mine.


September 7, 2006

Mr. Robert A. Iger
President and CEO
The Walt Disney Company

Dear Mr. Iger,

We write with serious concerns about the planned upcoming broadcast of The Path to 9/11 mini-series on September 10 and 11. Countless reports from experts on 9/11 who have viewed the program indicate numerous and serious inaccuracies that will undoubtedly serve to misinform the American people about the tragic events surrounding the terrible attacks of that day. Furthermore, the manner in which this program has been developed, funded, and advertised suggests a partisan bent unbecoming of a major company like Disney and a major and well respected news organization like ABC. We therefore urge you to cancel this broadcast to cease Disney's plans to use it as a teaching tool in schools across America through Scholastic. Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation.

Uh yeah, like the MSM has EVER been accurate in their reporting. Funny how they have nothing to say when the reporting of factually inaccurate misinformation works in their favor

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 airwaves 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.

Ok .. so here is the nuts and bolts, the timing of the 5 yr anniversary of 9/11 falls just before an election and the timing being such that they are now POLITICISING 9/11. And they call us names?

Disney and ABC claim this program to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report and are using that assertion as part of the promotional campaign for it. The 9/11 Commission is the most respected American authority on the 9/11 attacks, and association with it carries a special responsibility. Indeed, the very events themselves on 9/11, so tragic as they were, demand extreme care by any who attempt to use those events as part of an entertainment or educational program. To quote Steve McPhereson, president of ABC Entertainment, "When you take on the responsibility of telling the story behind such an important event, it is absolutely critical that you get it right."

Unfortunately, it appears Disney and ABC got it totally wrong.

EXCEPT for the pages and pages and pages of documents which showed that Clinton straight up F**ked up.

Despite claims by your network¹s representatives that The Path to 9/11 is based on the report of the 9/11 Commission, 9/11 Commissioners themselves, as well as other experts on the issues, disagree.

Let me guess...these "Experts" are liberal democrats..right?

* Richard Ben-Veniste, speaking for himself and fellow 9/11 Commissioners who recently viewed the program, said, "As we were watching, we were trying to think how they could have misinterpreted the 9/11 Commission's findings the way that they had." ["9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased," New York Times, September 6, 2006]

* Richard Clarke, the former counter-terrorism czar, and a national security advisor to ABC has described the program as "deeply flawed" and said of the program's depiction of a Clinton official hanging up on an intelligence agent, "It's 180 degrees from what happened." ["9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased," New York Times, September 6, 2006]

Oh, I see, so Clinton listened and went and got OBL...that would be 180 degrees. Wow, glad they cleared that up! Now we dont have to worry about the left saying that not having OBLs body in custody or in a morgue is a failure.

* Reports suggest that an FBI agent who worked on 9/11 and served as a consultant to ABC on this program quit halfway through because, "he thought they were making things up." [MSNBC, September 7, 2006]

Go figure the MSM would "make something up"

* Even Thomas Kean, who serves as a paid consultant to the miniseries, has admitted that scenes in the film are fictionalized. ["9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased," New York Times, September 6, 2006]

That Disney would seek to broadcast an admittedly and proven false recounting of the events of 9/11 raises serious questions about the motivations of its creators and those who approved the deeply flawed program. Finally, that Disney plans to air commercial-free a program that reportedly cost it $40 million to produce serves to add fuel to these concerns.

WHY? Because the money is going somewhere OTHER than your pockets Senators?

These concerns are made all the more pressing by the political leaning of and the public statements made by the writer/producer of this miniseries, Mr. Cyrus Nowrasteh, in promoting this miniseries across conservative blogs and talk shows.

OH GOD FORBID that a conservative have a strong voice...right Senators? GOD FORBID that Mr Cyrus actually wants to promote the movie to a viable audience. You know what kills me about this? The left has FOR YEARS had a voice that was unchallenged in the MSM, now they are finding opposition ... STRONG OPPOSITION ... and they are frustrated...good, that is exactly where we want them because they show how ugly they REALLY are to the american sheeple

Frankly, that ABC and Disney would consider airing a program that could be construed as right-wing political propaganda on such a grave and important event involving the security of our nation is a discredit both to the Disney brand and to the legacy of honesty built at ABC by honorable individuals from David Brinkley to Peter Jennings. Furthermore, that Disney would seek to use Scholastic to promote this misguided programming to American children as a substitute for factual information is a disgrace.

Oh, and your agenda of pushing Darwinism as fact if not "misguided"? And this paragraph says it again folks, they are POLITICISING the deaths of 2996 of YOUR fellow americans.

As 9/11 Commission member Jamie Gorelick said, "It is critically important to the safety of our nation that our citizens, and particularly our school children, understand what actually happened and why ­ so that we can proceed from a common understanding of what went wrong and act with unity to make our country safer."

Ok...we can all agree on this, lets start with laying initial blame where it lies...with the Clintonistas...then we will let you move LOGICALLY up the ladder..but in return we want to hear some outrage...GENUINE outrage at the muslims for this. Better yet, how about being part of the SOLUTION instead of constantly being part of the problem!

Should Disney allow this programming to proceed as planned, the factual record, millions of viewers, countless schoolchildren, and the reputation of Disney as a corporation worthy of the trust of the American people and the United States Congress will be deeply damaged. We urge you, after full consideration of the facts, to uphold your responsibilities as a respected member of American society and as a beneficiary of the free use of the public airwaves to cancel this factually inaccurate and deeply misguided program. We look forward to hearing back from you soon.

IN OTHER WORDS: Should Disney proceed as planned, we will do anything and everything we can to have your broadcast license pulled because you are forwarding something that hurts our political agenda, and we just can not have that. They want to hear back from ABC "soon" In other words they want legal fodder so they can take this court.

Sincerely,

Should have signed it, Stabbing you in the back

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