I’ve been so upset over the Democratic leadership trying to coerce Disney and the ABC network to cancel its showing of The Path To 9/11 this weekend that now I’m gonna have to order up a case of Orbit gum, cause I sure succumbed to a bad case of dirty mouth yesterday. Fine, so be it. I occasionally use the “s” word around here, but almost never the “f” word, but that pales in comparison to the blue fugue of vile invective that has been running through my mind over this event.

The Left is full of glee, and thinks it has a real shot at getting this program canceled before it’s aired.

Understand that — one hundred twenty thousand petitions collected so far asking Disney to pull the plug on their now widely criticized, lie-riddled $40 million piece of 9/11 conservative fan fiction.
(…)
It’s time for Disney to pull the plug. It’s time for George Mitchell, who serves as Disney’s Chairman, to insist that they pull the work for retooling or burning — or that he will resign in protest. It’s time for ABC head Bob Iger to step up to the plate and recognize that putting up 9/11 neoconservative porn is not simply a one-week outrage: 9/11 is still a fresh wound, in our country, Disney/ABC fictionalizing it for profit and partisanship is not OK, and the public will remember this.

Truthout.org stands up for the Clinton administration’s efforts against the terrorists:

The Clinton administration poured more than a billion dollars into counterterrorism activities across the entire spectrum of the intelligence community, into the protection of critical infrastructure, into massive federal stockpiling of antidotes and vaccines to prepare for a possible bioterror attack, into a reorganization of the intelligence community itself. Within the National Security Council, “threat meetings” were held three times a week to assess looming conspiracies. His National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, prepared a voluminous dossier on al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, actively tracking them across the planet. Clinton raised the issue of terrorism in virtually every important speech he gave in the last three years of his tenure.

Me thinks that the Kos kids and the Truthout burnouts should go over to Powerline and refresh their memories on the terrorist attacks that happened on Bubba’s watch — with very little retaliation from US.

There is no doubt about the fact that the terrorist menace grew and became increasingly obvious during the Clinton administration. To note just a few highlights:

* January 25, 1993: Mir Aimal Kansi, a Pakistani, fired an AK-47 into cars waiting at a stoplight in front of the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Virginia, killing two CIA employees.

But, since I’m finding myself a bit let down in the reasonable prose department, let me share Doug TenNapel’s take on all this:

The problem is that now we know. If ABC agrees to let a politcal party edit their work then we might not want to watch shows that are screened by the left for “accuracy”. I don’t think it’s appropriate to just hammer one side but it sounds even handed and I don’t think anyone believes Clinton could or should have the foresight to predict the future. I don’t blame Clinton or Bush for not expecting 9/11 or for hustling planes in the air over Dick Clark’s warnings. Life doesn’t unfold that way.

The good news is I have YouTube and blogs and thousands of preview copies to see exactly what Clinton doesn’t want me to see. Media can’t be controlled by the left anymore. It’s chaos out there, good luck trying to censor political thought.

Luke 12:3 “What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.”

So, sorry folks about the dirty mouth, but it sure is telling to see our Democratic leaders fiddlin’ around tryin’ to censure or worse, eliminate free speech on the public airways, when there is an International War on Terror to be waged and won. But there it is, now isn’t it? The Left doesn’t believe in fighting wars, not even when the cause is just. Peace at any cost — even the loss of all of us, our children and the entirety of western civilization — ’cause those are the stakes in this conflict, whether the Left wants to believe it, or not!
