Are people THAT dense??

by Hanlon on September 9, 2006 at 4:11 am

I think I’m going to get a nosebleed. The redcoats are showing that they seriously have no grasp on reality. This 9/11 “docu-drama” fiasco is turning into more a case of those who want to show what they want to, and those who want to show what actually happened. Look at this idiot, for example.

The Democrats are opposed to free speech. Mark that down.

They only want people to say what they approve.

(Yes, I know. It could be a lousy movie, full of inaccuracies. But remember what they oppose is that it shows the Clintons in an unfavorable light. Based on actual events. And most of them haven’t even seen it.)

Okay, ignoring that “Democrats oppose Dissent” doesn’t make sense because there’s no dissenting going on here, the problem is that no, this has nothing to do with free speech. And the “actual events” this movie purports didn’t actually happen. In fact, a lot of what is claimed to be reality in fact is in complete opposition to what DID happen.

Yes, I did comment on that entry there, because dammit I had to. This is a case of a horrendously inaccurate film being portrayed as a documentary based on the 9/11 Commission report when its “facts” and key scenes are often on the other side of reality. He then goes on to mention that Clinton wanted to make a made-up film about his life.

Great, let ‘im. Clinton can do whatever he wants about his own life. If he wants to show a movie where he has huge muscles and punches out conservative reporters, he’s allowed to. As long as they aren’t named. It’s a dramatization. What changes here is that you CANNOT have Sandy Berger saying things in a movie if he DID NOT SAY THEM and in fact public record shows that what you are showing is the opposite of what you have him saying in the movie.

Whew, big sentence. But what it boils down to is one word: slander. This movie drags Clinton through the mud and does not touch upon the faults of the man in charge when 9/11 hit. And it does so without actually using factual evidence.

In the LiveJournal community for redcoats, resident truthspeaker rechan responded to the new claim that it’s just Democrats hate free speech with this:

Yeah. I mean, it’s not like ABC isn’t using airwaves to pretty much give free attacks on the Democrats while omitting the “My Pet Goat” incident and the total ignoring the Bin Laden memo, it’s not like those on the 9/11 Commission are criticising the movie’s inaccuracies, it’s not like the FBI agent consulting on the show quit half way through due to errors, it has nothing to do with the writer admitting controversial scene was “improvised”,

It isn’t as though they’re airing inaccuracies so grevious that experts and historians who’s viewed the film has called it wrong, that it was produced by a right-wing propaganda firm, it’s not like an insider told a blogger It was meant to attack Clinton, written by a guy who wants to transform Hollywood for Conservatives, it’s not like conservatives are calling it “Defamatory” and “zero factual basis”, or that a conservative media watchdog group is saying that ABC shouldn’t air it, or even A Fox Anchor, even Bush’s own terror expert says it’s fantasyland. It’s not that ABC is falsely claiming that the docudrama is based on the 9/11 report, and it has nothing to do with the fact that ABC were trying to send out this show to Children with error-filled booklets.

It all has to do with the Senate Dems threatening ABC!

A-men, brotha.
