They can dish it, but the 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.

    I absolutely agree with you. When Clinton was given the opportunity to take out Bin Laden and refused, he became culpable for 9/11. It doesn't matter what they say. Politicians lie by trying to twist facts and cover things up, but it doesn't make their actions any less damaging because they gave it a fancy title. The Clintons are abhorent and the very idea that Hilary Clinton might even have a chance at running this country is terrifying. Any other country in the world would have tried some of these people for treason. There is a fine line between free speech and verbal abuse and frankly it have been JUMPED over. It is time to reign people back in.

    The systems of the present government grew up below capitalism and are designed to guard capitalist rule. This is going for Democrats besides as Republicans. Bombing the Sudan valuable did no longer help concerns plenty so a procedures as dealing with terrorism is worried. What Bush has performed is plenty worse, we now stay in worry, no longer by way of fact we've been attacked, yet by way of fact we now comprehend we are able to in no way be non violent with others, we've bullied the international and there is little doubt many want to kill us for our movements against them on thier soil. So, Clinton could have been susceptible yet bear in mind all of this conflict on Terror has little or no to do with 9-11. the government now and interior the 90s had little project and nonetheless does. Have the recomendations of the 9-11 cost been heeded? no longer slightly. Open ports, and so on. Ask any Northern eire citizen... a thank you to provide up terrorism is to A. provide up doing it your self and B. handle the reasons diplomaticaaly so bombs are actually not thrown and planes are actually not flown into homes. Bush can't provide up that, and we are only getting fortunate. The roosters nonetheless will come abode to roost if we save them fed and we are overfeeding them at this contemporary time.

    For ABC to take a real life event, make a movie about it claiming that is based on a real life event, but then change the facts of the story, is telling a lie. If it is a movie about a real event, then get the facts straight - or don't claim that is based on a true story. Just because it is a 'movie' does not give ABC license to change the facts in order to make it more emotional and to add drama. ABC has a news organization that has the same facts about 9/11 as everyone, so to make this movie tells me they are willing to lie , and will tweak the news, and facts, for the same reason. Why have they even made this movie? Is it entertaining for Americans to see 2800 people burn to death after being attacked? I have not been very interested in the network programming for many years, mainly, because it is brainless and caters to uneducated 12 year olds. This movie and the programming decision behind it only convinces me that I made the right decision, that television pretty much sucks . . .and even the entertainment aspects of tv are gone now.

  • AMEN!!!! VERY well said!!! I applaud you!!!

    I also do not agree with EVERYTHING that President George Bush has done, but I DO believe that Clinton is the reason for 911. He knew what was going on, he admitted that. But he did NOTHING!!! His excuse..... "I was busy dealing with Monica Lewinski (SP??)".

    The Democrats applauded Michael Moore & his movie because it was AGAINST the Republicans. Now, turn the tables where the movie is showing the Democrats in the same light & they want it stopped!!! Of course they do........

    I have said this MORE THAN ONCE BUT HERE I GO AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS PROOF THAT I AM CORRECT!!!

    DON'T POINT FINGERS, WHEN YOU DO THERE ARE ALWAYS "3" POINTING BACK AT YOU!!!!

    The Democrats pointed fingers & it is coming back to bite them.

    Not "3" fold, more like "10" fold.

    I WILL be contacting ABC!!!

    Well, done EDDie

    Yes, of course, Bill Clinton KNEW that the USS Cole and the WTC were going to be bombed. How silly of us to forget he was a psychic.

    Get a life...he's NOT responsible for 9/11 (in ANY way) and ABC are fools for insinuating that he is.

    You really believe that? Based on a true story means just that - the basis is there but artistic (and political) license has been taken. Why would you rely on an ABC docudrama/propaganda for fact? I am an independant politically and do not trust either side of the aisles. Get over it..this is nothing new, just not done as well as before.

    9/11 is to the USA what 586 BC was to the Zionists.

    The Zionists in 586 BC worshipped Satan and had no one to blame but themselves. The US allowed Zionist influence to take hold and weaken institutions which could have prevented any terrorist activity since the birth of Israel in 1948.

    Exactly right. Clinton let Bin Laden get away while he was worried about his Richard.
