Should ABC air a Dem-slanted film to give equal time? A great
title would be "Path to Armageddon." Too bad 'Ernest' passed away; he'd make a great GW.

1. Funny, but I don't think of "Path to Armageddon" as being
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 12:29 AM by greyl
a Dem and progressively slanted notion.

edit: how bout a movie set in near future called "Path to Peace" or "It's a Wonderful Planet" with Jimmy Carter playing Jimmy Stewart playing as .. oh nevermind. ;)

2. path to
Well, I think if they can assert that Clinton somehow led us to 9/11, we can easily show how Bush is leading us to a financial, ethical and biblical apocalypse.

3. True, but it would be cool if Democrats were remembering
their atheist and agnostic base who don't have much more patience for Bible-based anything. ;)

6. Yes
Yes, but I've always felt if the major countries of the world were lead by extremists (like Bush and Abedinejad) who believe in the inevitability of global religious conflict, they can make the religious myths a reality. The rapture may be a myth, but evil is real.

4. ABC should just air a historically-accurate docu-drama
No "slants" of any kind. And definitely not this blatant "Path To 9/11" piece of B.S. from the mind of a self-admitted RW hack writer/producer.

5. Well, since the regime is a farce, it should be "The Road to . . ."
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 12:38 AM by Jack Rabbit
Like the old Hope and Crosby flicks.

How about The Road to Baghdad? Bush as Hope, Cheney as Crosby. They try to get Condi, who really doesn't like either of them.

We'll ressurect Jerry Colona from the dead so that he can play Saddam.

Gannon could play himself. He's probably up for a new gig about now.

12. truth
Maybe our new film should tell the truth for a change. No one (save Michael Moore) has had the guts to do so this far. Maybe the PT9/11 experience will take away some of that termerity.

24. no, no you haven't been listening to the talking heads
Fahrenheit 9/11 is lies, all lies--just ask Sen. McCain-of course, he never saw the film, but it's still lies. Now if this mock-u-drama wasn't so full of fabrications, I bet ABC, would gladly give a script to Clinton.

10. how about: bush caused 911?
in it we have a scene where bush and osama are having a coffee talking about the attack against the towers scheduled for the next day.

we can just say its a dramatization.

Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 12:48 AM by enid602
Bush's brother Marvin should be in that scene as well, as he was on the Board of Directors of the company that handled the Towers' security at that time, and was also on the Board of another company representing the Towers' insurers.

15. How about something with sordid sex, corruption, violence, degeneracy
and murder?

ABC and Disney proudly present

THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY

My God! You're getting close . . . "Two generations of prostitutes in the White House." Both literally and figuratively. I love it.

20. No.
We don't need two films each slanted toward differing points of view. We need one film that's the unbiased truth. Period. Unfortunately, the uniter has divided us to the point where I want to scream at people sitting on the other side of the aisle. It makes me sick that this has what America has become.

21. tit-for-tat
I'm not saying we have to show GHW and Barr golfing on their daughter's grave, or show the look on Pickles' boyfriend's face just before he ate the Corvair. But we COULD show the Chene-ster roughing up a few folks at the CIA, while GW effectively de-funds and disbands FEMA in preparation of Katrina. Similar to how GW felt it necessary to disband the Iraqi military after liberation. My God, this guy's a treasure trove of material.

25. PT9/11
I like your term, but what I'm saying is, if they want to use their 'weapons of mass deception,' why don't we use our weapons of mass education? Every single day here on DU, people have documented, decried and shown horror re: everything bad that has come out of this administration. Indeed, I think that the DU archives (if there is such a thing) would be the perfect source for a 'Path to Armageddon.' Our leaders have been reticent to tell it like it is, given wartime allegiance and patriotism concerns.

In that sense, I think the Republicans have done us a tremendous service by exhibiting PT9/11, in that dems will not just be tempted to tell the truth, but will now demand that the truth be known by all.

26. Haha...WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTION is really..
A Documentary that explains how BushCo is reasponsible for 9/11, the true path to 9/11. If ABC wants to show bullshit repuke propaganda, then they should show a true doc that shows in detail the truth.

This Doc was on/has been on FREE SPEECH TV, if you goto their website you should beable to purchase it..

29. Next they'll remake the protocols of zion as a docudrama
and then we'll get a docudrama that shows the gulf of tonkin attacks, that
lost footage!! where war protestors are blamed for a criminal mass murder
of millions of civilians.

The new docudrama on the korean war where macaurthur sets off 100 nukes in
china has some of the best special effects for a documentary yet made!
