The network said it would air the first hour of the film, break for 20 minutes to carry Bush's speech live, then broadcast the rest of the movie.Reuters/VNU

1. Two great reasons

not to watch ABC

[Subdivisions]

2. What a bunch of CRAP!

They get their hero live in the middle of a movie mini-series that sings his praises.

Great. Just fucking great.

3. "I'm George Dubya Bush, and I approve this propaganda."

[mnhtnbb]

19. Heil, Bushie!

[MichiganVote]

4. A banner night for bullshit...won't be watching any 9/11 programming

[Erika]

5. Who is going to watch their revisionist history?

Bushbots only.

Many of us will never watch ABC again.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. How appropriate, to wrap the lies and political grandstanding of Asshole's

speech with the lies of the active revision and rewriting of history that the Republicans have been doing for the last 30 years.

7. Now this is just a movie and Bush is just giving a non-political speech

I swear, some of you. :sarcasm: It's not fascism until they knock down your door! Perfect, rational explanation for this!

[TahitiNut]

11. "It's not fascism until they knock down your door!"

That's right.

And stop comparing them to the Nazis until at least 6 million "enemies of the state" are rounded up and put to death in the camps.

Then we can call them names. (If anyone's left to listen.)

:grr:

8. This will backfire. Many people are ?ing 9-11 -

To see a 'non-political' spur of the moment (announced 50+/- hrs before airing) b*sh speech will seem quite contrived. I'd guess 20 or so % of b*sh 'TRUE BELIEVERS' will have to mull that one over... they will not be able to reconcile the propaganda with the timing. M

Maybe than they can become sentient beings!:-)

9. Why doesn't ABC just change their name to "Pravda"?

This whole situation is so f*cked up. I cannot believe this is what America has become.

[carpetbagger]

15. Because the Fox News Security will arrest them.

Copyright infringement. Next question?

[Rainscents]

10. O.M.F.G

Can't get more out right Nazi promotion.

[expatriot]

12. My question to freepers: Is ABC part of the liberal media conspiracy? nt

14. This is becoming comical...

:eyes:

[McCamy Taylor]

16. Man oh man. It's like Bush is FORCING ABC to air it.

[yorkiemommie1]

17. GOP creates its own reality

and the corporate media go hand in hand.

This is monstrous! A blatant. monstrous campaign event!

edit to add: how many flags do you think will be in the background? will there be a podium w/ a 'cross' on the front? remember that one podium he had?

he'll put on his fake pious, patriotic face and the sheeple will fall into line. the security moms, the nascar dads will give up any lingering doubt that might have had and press the button for the GOP this fall.

KKKarl scores again!

[mmonk]

18. The whole purpose of all this crap anyway

is to work with the president to keep his cronies in congress and to push his agenda of torture, NSA spying on citizens, and his next war agenda.

[gratuitous]

20. Will they have the star-spangled overlay?

And the entire staff of ABC News standing in the background humming "America the Beautiful," swelling to a crescendo as Chimpy comes to his conclusion?

[Oilwellian]

21. Now THAT is creepy

What in the hell?? In the middle of a propaganda movie produced by Disney, Little Lord Pissypants will interrupt and come to save the day. It just doesn't get any better than that.
