Are we going to Let Disney & ABC defame and lie about 9/11?

Question

Apparently Disney is through with cute mermaids and cross-dressing Genies. They are now in the business of slandering the Democratic party and dishonoring the memory of 9/11 victims and their families, by airing a right-wing, lying "docudrama" about that terrible day. From an e-mail from Democrats.org, here is one step you can do take to try to stop this: From: Tom McMahon, Democratic Party, :
This is it: crunch time for getting the slanderous ABC television docudrama "The Path to 9/11" yanked off the air. The network schedule has this slanderous attack on Democrats slated to start on Sunday night, September 10, at 8 o'clock -- and as long as it stays on the schedule, we have work to do. Take a minute right now and tell Disney president Robert Iger to keep this right-wing propaganda off our airwaves:

Plesae visit this site and voice your outrage! And boycott Disney!

Again, boys & girls: READ THE QUESTION! The program has NOT AIRED yet, so you could not have seen it. We are trying to get them NOT to air it because it lies.

As for Michael Moore, a) he does his reseach and b) he doesn't have the backing of a politically slanted, multi-national corporation!

P.S. "JIMBO", you right-wing tool: uninformed cogs like YOU are the ones who need to get their "heads" out of...wherever it is your **** is-on your shoulders?...and "Shaddap", until you have something coherent to say.

An excerpt from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14733545/

<< OLBERMANN: You were privy to everything the president read each day, you had daily access to him. Is there any truth to the principal insinuation here that he was distracted from terrorism by the Lewinsky affair?

SEAN MALONEY: Absolutely not. Let me tell you what. I was there. I saw the president every day during the entire Lewinsky episode, from the day it started to the day it ended. And it was my job to provide him with his daily workload, a mountain of stuff that goes through the Oval Office. And I can tell you, that guy was focused like a laser beam on doing his job. And you know what else I did, I saw all the national security information that went to the president every day, including all the information on the growing threat of al Qaeda. And I can tell you, this — President Clinton was focused like a laser beam on it. And I‘m just telling you as a guy who was there. It is a smear to say that he wasn‘t. It‘s a subjective view, there is no evidence to support it. And I can tell you, as a guy who was in the room, it‘s just not the case. And you know who else knew it? The American people. And that‘s why they stood by him, because he was doing his job. And that‘s why he enjoys the favorable ratings he has today.

OLBERMANN: Do you fear that people will actually believe the docudrama, and now put more blame on President Clinton than he deserves for the events that led up to 9/11?

MALONEY: Well, look, why would ABC be so careless with the truth? Let‘s be clear, there is no dispute that there are factual mistakes in this movie, and they are serious. They just say things that didn‘t happen. And ABC doesn‘t dispute that. Now, the president of ABC Entertainment has said it‘s critically important to get it right. So why not get it right? Why not clean this thing up, or take it down until you get it right? You know, I‘m a New Yorker, and those of us in New York are getting to celebrate the five-year anniversary of this terrible episode. And you know what we‘re thinking about? We‘re still getting on handle on what was in the toxic cloud that went out. The families are still grieving with their loss. This should be a nonpartisan day to come together. This is a terrible time, using falsehoods, to inject politics into this commemoration. I just don‘t know why ABC would do it. It‘s wrong. They ought to fix it. >>

Answer 2

Are the Democrats trying to destroy our freedoms? As Americans we have a right to question and hear different points of view. There will be plenty of opportunity to check out each point with open discussion.

I thought this was a "freedom of the press" issue. Do we want the Democratic party destroying our freedoms as Americans? Where were the Democrats when Michael Moore defamed the President with "Fahrenheit 9/11". They were claiming "freedom of the press".

Is Disney/ABC saying that the material in this is facts? (Michael Moore said all his material was fact when we know it wasn't.) It the end it is important for Americans to hear different points of view and then collect the facts.

Answer 3

Do you truly trust that crap that you basically spouted? Do you no longer shop in ideas the first WTC attacks in ninety 3. After Clinton took place of work? How about the Rangers attacked in Somlia? convinced Bin encumbered had a hand in that too. How about the Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia? Or the Embassy bombings in Africa? What about the united statesCole? were you basically asleep in the course of the ninety's throughout the time of all of those attacks? All of those were lower than Clintons watch...all of them. Did he ever respond to any of them? properly i am going to provide you with that he did deliver in some cruise missles. You shop in ideas, those THAT TOOK OUT AN ASPIRIN production facility! Son i don't know what kind of kool-enable you been drinkin' yet you larger proper open your eyes to the actuality. convinced Bush might want to were more desirable prepared for 9-11, besides the undeniable fact that it may no longer have occurred if Clinton might want to have served his united states and used the armed forces that he had at his disposal to guard it , like the oath he took suggested.

Answer 4

I heard that some of it is true and some is fictional so I have no problem with it and I have not heard anything agaist it from the Amercian Family Association they say we need to boycott the CBS 9/11 special because of too much cussing or ask them to air it at a later time when small children would be in bed

Answer 5

I'm a Republican, but I understand why you would be upset. But think about it-The program doesn't put Mr. Clinton in a good light, and neither does it put Mr. Bush in a good light all the time.
Why can't we stop being so childish??? Stop thinking about how terrible it is, and look at it from a fresh point of view: the story of thousands of people, Republican and Democrat alike, who were ALL affected by a seperate group. We need to stop being so infantile, and start caring.

Answer 6

Notice all the discussion and news about this "entertainment event"?

Have you considered these politcal accusations may be a very clever approach by ABC to get lots and lots of free advertising for the show. So they can edit to to blandness now, and still get great ratings.

Answer 7

if you had bothered to liston to the news the movie about 9/11 isn't finished and also they used many different sorces to make the movie. if u don't like what disney is going to do get over it big deal it could help so many people and u r stuck on one minner problem eather get over it or not watch it at all

Answer 8

Since I have no accurate information on the contents (and neither does anyone else who has not seen the "docudrama") I can have no comment.

Answer 9

Disney will stop at nothing to take other ideas and call them theirs, they think they are the most powerful corporation on earth. soon they will buy every thing and put there "666 mark" on everything.

BURN IN HELL DISNEY!!!

Answer 10
