1984 was 26 years ago, but it sure seems like it’s today. The Senate Democratic leadership sent Disney president Robert A. Iger a thinly veiled threat to revoke the broadcast license for the ABC network if this weekend’s showing of The Path To 9/11 wasn’t canceled.

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.

Sincerely,

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

The DailyKos folks are hyperventilating and letter writing, now targeting Disney board member and former Democratic Senator George Mitchell.

Once again, the self-proclaimed party of tolerance shows just how intolerant it really is. I guess that the meaning of is, and everything else, is only what the Democrats and the Left say that it is. They leave little to the imagination as to what damage they will do if they take control of the House or Senate, or heaven forbid, both. I’m getting really sick of this shit! Fuck ‘em!
