Just flew in from
here. Obviously, the wingnuts and religious wackos are beside themselves over this upcoming propaganda on ABC:
I have watched (Clinton's legacy)
I have recorded (Clinton's legacy)
I will teach (Clinton's legacy)
AND THERE'S NOTHING CLINTON CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!!
Am glad to know there are filmmakers who feel the same way.
I'm guilty of using
labels to deride and dismiss them at times, but while perusing their site and other sites like it, I realized that I've been underestimating their presence in Hollywood for a long time. Or I just haven't been paying attention.
I know for a fact that Wee Willie is desperate to get the film edited so it makes him look less
Bubbaish. I am PRAYING the president of ABC ignores him.
Liberal Hollywood? WHAT Liberal Hollywood?
And here's a comment so sad that you can't help but laugh just to keep yourself from crying:
I've been lucky enough to have been doing some transcription work for this
amazing movie and I get a bizarre kick out of watching my ultra-liberal, ACLU-card
carrying, "Americans are stupid" co-workers get their panties in a bunch over Path to
9/11, opining that it makes our country look foolish and inept. I've been instructed
by my bosses to keep my politics to myself, though (how ironic).
Fortunately, the movie does indeed make President Clinton, Sandy Berger and their
cohorts look just like that: foolish, inept and then some. Doesn't pull punches with
President Bush's less than flattering handling of the terrorist threat in his early
presidential months, either. At least he's, for the most part, vindicated those
missteps. Can't wait to see this sequentially and I hope many others are watching, too.
Then it hit me. Everyone is talking about it.
Results 1 - 10 of about 22,400,000 for Path to 9/11. (0.40 seconds)
At this rate, ABC and their little propaganda are set to win out no matter what we say or do. The series will get a huge rating and people will continue to buy/rent DVDs to see what the big fuss was all about. This bullshit by the radical right is on pace to become The Passion of the Christ for ABC...
But there is one thing we can do to minimize the impact.
Let's nominate a few Kossacks as our Designated Reviewers of this series and have them give us a thorough review after each episode...So We Don't Have to Watch It.
If we can get three or four capable diarists to commit to watching and reviewing the series for all of us, the rest of us curious souls can sit out. If you don't want to sit out and still want to see it for youself, I'd say,
"Tough. You're sitting this one out."
But if that's still not enough to suppress one's curiosity, know that you'll be able to catch the (I'm sure MANY) questionable clips, footages and scenes via
Media Matters,
Crooks and Liars,
YouTube, etc and judge for yourself. I don't recommend using this method for anything else, by the way. Just this once because the weasels at ABC have managed to generate a
HUGE publicity storm with this bullshit.
I don't know what kind of ratings the series will get, but let's not help them by any means because if you watch, then they'll think that, 'Hey, this shit sells!' and will continue to make more.
Let us not help them one bit. Amen.
