They can dish it, but Clintons and supporters can't take it?

The upcoming ABC special "Path to 9/11" is said to include a segment that faults President Clinton for weakening the U.S. and missing opportunities to deal with Islamofascists when it was much easier than when President Bush inherited this dangerous situation we are in. The Clintons and supporters have demanded that ABC edit that segment out.

I may not agree with everything that President Bush has done, but the Clintonites certainly criticise President Bush, and applaud the misleading Michael Moore and company from releasing negative attacks on President Bush, but they can't take any criticism about their beloved president? This is absurd and a classic case of double-standards. Outrageous!

I implore each and everyone of you to contact ABC and demand that they not bow to Clintonites demands to edit the ABC special segment. Let freedom reign, let freedom of expressions reign. I thought that only the Democrats are champions of that cause. I guess I was wrong!

Update:

For those who continue to write that no facts exists that President Clinton weakened the U.S. are living a fantasy and are denying reality. Has everyone forgotten about the 1st terror attack on the World Trade Center, or the attacks on U.S. interests, or the attack on the Cole? These all happened under President Clinton who chose not to deal with Islamofascist threats when it was much easier to do so under his administration.

I certainly don't like everything that President Bush has done, but the reality is that he inherited this dangerous situation from his predecessor. The 2nd terror attack on the World Trade Center was years in the making. There is no denying that. I voted for Clinton, I must admit, but in retrospect, though his presidency was marked by good economy, he has done very poorly with defense and protection of U.S. interests. Even his FBI director has repeatedly said that Clinton has weekend the FBI and CIA. Freedom must reign, and the unedited ABC special must air.

Update 2:

I further read that this ABC movie is not based on facts, and even though it claims to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report, it is not. That is completely incorrect. For all those saying and writing this, I would encourage you to re-read the 9/11 Commission Report. Start on page 339, a chapter called "Foresight -- and Hindsight." Page 340 - 342 strongly discusses the numerous reports and intelligence gathering under Clinton administrtaion (specifically 1993 - 1999) and warning that the Clinton Administration chose to disregard, and enjoy the prosperity of the world during that time rather than look ahead and deal with a growing threat in its diaper stages.

Please, please re-read the 9/11 Commission Report before you make additional incorrect and misleading comments. I voted for Clinton both times, and in retrospect, aside from good economy, he sacrificed and undermined our security, though I am sure unintentionally, simply not having foresight of Islamofascism.

    What we're seeing is the democrats being called out on their failures.

    In a purely hypocritical move, they want to supress the info.

    There wasn't such an outcry with the moore "documentary".

    You know why?.......It was another "false...but accurate" claim by just another sore loser.

    There was no Truth in it.

    You people!

    The problem is very real no matter when it started, no matter who inherited the problem!

    Get over yourselves & help the country protect itself!!!!

    It is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem!

    It is not even really an American problem - it is a world wide problem with particular emphasis on the "western" world!
