...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Go and see them now, before the anti-free speech crazies find out and crash the site.
Update: Betsy Newmark explains why it matters.
Think for a moment about the concerted action by Democrats, their lawyers, former White House operatives, Bill Clinton, sympathetic historians, and lefty bloggers to stop this show. Remember that this was the same crowd that was full of praise of for Fahrenheit 9/11 for crystallizing their opposition to George Bush. Accuracy and versimilitude didn't bother them then. And they weren't saying a word about 60 Minutes "fake but accurate" story on Bush's National Guard service. Now, ask yourself. If this crowd were to control the White House, how many more of these attempts to stifle any criticism of them would we be seeing? Think of how much has been aired during Bush's tenure, even a movie depicting him being assassinated and more denials of civil liberties gets made without Bush's White House unleashing its lawyers. But, for this thing, the Democrats go to the mattresses. Are they perhaps modeling for us what their response would be to further criticism if they should gain control of the White House - or even of Congress? Don't forget those not-so-veiled threats to ABC's license. Ponder that chill wind.Exactly. These are the anti-free speech crazies I'm talking about.

You can tell the that ABC took dramatic license with this film.
The scene where the distraught woman accusing the cowardly members of the NSA of murder could not have happened.
The Clintons would never allow a person with a conscience to work at the White House.

I am sure my comments mean nothing to you. You just aren't smart enough to realize that you are allowing yourself to be manipulated. A shame.
The reason their are objections to this movie is due to how the film is a huge multi-million dollar right-wing propaganda effort. Like you, most American's are not well informed and will walk away from seeing that movie with the very incorrect belief that Clinton is primarily culpable and Bush did no wrong - which is just not true.
When the time comes for ignorant Americans - which includes you BTW - to pay the price for all this stupidity and blind belief, please remember my words. I am certain you are too thick headed to pay them much head today.
A little under 70 years ago, people like you were standing on the streets of Berlin, waving little flags - blindly accepting what their leaders told them. You are no different.

Where were you when Michael Moore was selling his revisionist history?
You liberals are all alike; ready to slam anything that smacks of conservative, true or not, but unready to stand up to criticize the liberal lies that are spewed daily.
That is called hypocrisy; the best word in the world to describe the pseudo liberal holier than thou assholes that inhabit the world and the blogisphere.
Go preach somewhere else. We've got your number around here.

Barney, you are an idiot. You haven't seen the film, yet you are willing to pass judgment. If you had seen the film, you'd know that Bush gets hammered - along with The Pervert. Save your propoganda.
So, when did the Dems send out the post to its sheep telling you all to hit up the blogs and let people know how this film was nothing but a "a huge multi-million dollar right-wing propaganda effort."?
And 70 years ago, dipshit, it was people like us willing to fight Nazi's. It was people like you who wanted to appease them and then go join Stalin's communist party.
So, do me a big favor and go blow yourself and the rest of your left-wing nancy boys.
Posted by: Blu on Sep. 10, 2006Dear Barney,
The bologna is in the nest.
The pastrami is recyclable.
I only say this in jest,
cuz the dickcheese you will gobble.
Love,
Spanky
Dear Barney, you fucking purple dinosaur. Get yourself two history degrees then pop off. And learn how to fucking spell you idiot.
Heh now, I LOVE to hear from meth addicts. They're so... imaginative.
Posted by: Casca on Sep. 10, 2006Its like Rush was saying today, you couldn't paint a starker contrast than Bush warning the NYT not to run a story because it would cost lives, versus Clinton et al warning not to run a story because it would make them look bad.

Did you ask Aint Bea or Andy if you could use their computer? Fuckin' Tard.
Posted by: tony on Sep. 12, 2006Damn... I'm sorry I missed this thread when it was fresh, I could've gotten my kick in while Barney F****n' Fife was still conscious.
But, why beat a moron when he's down? He'll take himself out of the gene pool by just opening his mouth and talking. Zero effort on our part.
