ABC has committed to showing the 911 film...
inspite of the deafening furor.

That's the difference between the Repubs and Dems.
The Dems get a little flack and back off.
The Repubs just boldly barrel right into the flames.

Who wins?
The Repubs.

Gotta give them credit, dammit, for having more resolve than
the Democrats.

Until the left can find a leader who's really willing to make
and keep a solid stand in the middle of a hurricane, we will
continue to be smelling the Repubs behinds.

(Just watch how the election numbers turn when the dirty campaigns
really kick in.)

Problem is the sunshine comes from a red giant.

17. Sadly, he's absolutely correct!
Democrats have been, up to now, a big bunch of wusses. I only hope this horrible experience wakes them up to the fact that we need them to find their balls ASAP, and join us on the front lines.

2. I bet they would have pulled it....
had the mystery funder for it not pressured them to keep it on. ABC should reveal the person funding this piece of crap.

They lease the public airways. They should be required to admit
WHO they are subleasing them to.

8. I'm betting it was Scaife
or some other prominent right-wing family with deep pockets.

3. Could there be a chance of the junta having embarrassing data
on ABC & Disney execs? All those wiretaps have to be doing something...

14. or maybe this will be a springboard for discussion
of who is actually responsible for 9/11. Many Americans think the cover-up is suspect. Junior and Cheney testifying before Congress holding hands but not under oath is suspect. There are many unanswered questions, and this lie-festival mockudrama may have opened a can of worms the GOP will regret.

12. We know who controls the media & it isn't about the Dems not
being good enough or having backbone enough. This is about propaganda & the powers that be ruling the media & it is up to ALL of us to fight this. If you haven't written and phoned in a complaint to ABC & told them you intend to boycott them & their advertisers, you have no place here to criticize others.

Take your disgust & put it into words and write a letter to the editor or whatever avenues are available to you at the local level. If we aren't willing to be patriots for our own causes we deserve what we get.

Stop complaining & start your own fight against the media. Who can't give them a run for their money? They've become lazy, slothenly ghosts of their former selves. Journalism is dead and heroes are nowhere to be seen, but we can change that.

BE THE MEDIA. Shed some light on issues like these to everyone, friends, co-workers and families & all who do not dig deeper than what they see each night on TV or read in their papers. Don't complain the dems aren't doing enough.

Crikey, we are the dems! Time to get off our collective arses & take pen in hand or blog away at other sites. Do anything, but don't complain. The pen is mightier than the sword and these bums have not won by a long shot, unless we let them.

This is war, a war of words. Get busy!

15. its simple.. they pay a little fine, GOP deregulates them, write off fine
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 03:21 PM by sam sarrha
on their income tax as a business improvement..

they will make out like the bandits they are, the GOP will let them buy up news papers and radio stations and every little independent tv station that Murdock doesn't already own after paying 4 million to Newt Gingrich for a book that had not been written or had a subject yet..8 days before a vote on deregulating foreign purchases of US radio and TV stations..

too much attention has been focused on ABC ..the cause of this festering piece of shit is David Horowitz and what looks like some fundamentalist Christian Mafia groups..

an article by Max Blumenthal in the Huffington Post cover it very well.
