Disney/ABC adds mock assassination of Bill Clinton to 9/11 flick

Nice. Now I'm watching a scene where a movie of President Clinton is being projected on a screen, it's footage from some Clinton speech, and a Taliban guy walks up and shoots several times at Clinton's head, you see a good 5 or 6 or more bullets make holes in the screen in the middle of Clinton's head, just like he's assassinating Clinton.

Yes, we now have Disney/ABC throwing in mock assassinations of Bill Clinton. Did the Taliban really stage such a mock assassination of Clinton with bin Laden watching, and somehow we got a blow-by-blow of the entire scene? I'm skeptical.

7. That blog's writer has had access to the film since Friday afternoon.

ABC sent many copies out to mostly right-wingers, including right-wing bloggers. Although they refused to send copies to President Clinton or other Clinton appointees.

17. Oh My God! Can't SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING???????

Holy fucking shit!

[Dinger]

18. Send This To Local Affiliates NOW!

Here's the e-mail I sent, short, not brilliant, but to the point:


I now have to take ABC (This means Channel 9) off my viewing list & am having it blocked from my cable. I read that some local ABC affiliates are adding additional disclaimers, perhaps to protect them from impending succesful lawsuits.

19. I still think they should bring in Superman to stop it at the end.

As long as they are making shit up, why not give it a happy ending?

[FourScore]

25. Now that's funny.

:rofl:

[Gregorian]

20. This is so counterproductive.

What the hell do these conservative Americans want! This is infantile. Bullies and lies. Where is this all going.

[Beelzebud]

32. Honestly, I think the hardcore right-wing freaks want civil war.

[agincourt]

21. This mock assasination was in an Al Quiada video,

They never release one with Bush in it.

[magellan]

23. Ah, you just answered my question below

Was it al Qaeda who videotaped one of their own shooting at the film of Bush Sr?

[seabeyond]

28. was it mock assination of clinton? or was it of bush? i am confused

by your post

[agincourt]

35. The video had Clinton projected up on a wall,

giving a speech or something. A terrorist in a trench coat starts firing at the wall. The same video I believe also showed the Hollywood CA sign about to be blown up. Never once have I seen an Al Quaida video saying to kill W. Can't lose their enabler.

[magellan]

22. Wasn't there once a videotape of someone shooting at film of Bush Sr?

Wasn't there once a video of Khomeini or Saddam or some other radical lunatic taking shots at a film of Bush Sr.? What message are Disney/ABC trying to send here??

[Mabus]

24. Yet the GOP complains about a real mockumentary with Bush assassinated!

Or as Congressman Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, observed, "This is a dangerous world," Rep. King told one cable news channel. He warned that this mock-documentary "could incite real violence." The White House and U.S. Secret Service would not comment on the movie, but former agents say it is definitely cause for concern. "It puts ideas in people's heads," said Patrick Lennon, who shadowed five presidents during his 22 years with the Secret Service. "With the amount of nuts out there, who knows what they could conjure up after seeing a film like this." Lennon says the Secret Service will likely request an advance copy of the movie to evaluate how dangerous it is. "It could spur copy cat activity," says Joe LaSorsa, who spent 20 years protecting presidents for the Secret Service. Range, the filmmaker, defended the movie in a press release.

btw, the source for the above quote is none other than ABC news. http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2385758&page=1


I guess mockumentaries that are advertised as mockumentaries are a bigger danger than their own mockumentary advertised as a documdrama. :banghead:

[Straight Shooter]

26. That is vile and venal and reprehensible and inexcusable.

This is nothing more than the writer and producer throwing red meat to their audience. They call themselves Christians? There was no reason to add this scene; it isn't known to most Americans that this action ever occurred, it's inflammatory and debasing to a former president who still commands the affection and respect of millions.

This country has gone straight into the gutter, thanks to bush and rove.

[Redstone]

27. Oh, fuck me. It's even worse than I thought. I'm going to stay FAR away

from any television tomorrow and Monday night.

[Tigress DEM]

29. I dunno. Bill? Could that be Ken Star's original role?

If I remember history correctly, Bill was MUCH more hated by the rethugs than the outside world.

[Beelzebud]

30. It's called Fascism.

Because thats what it is..

[Rainscents]

31. This is fucking sick!!!

I am so ANGRY and I'll never forgive the fuckers!!!

[GeorgeGist]

33. Why would the Taliban want to assassinate Clinton...

if he was sympathizer?

[MetaTrope]

34. I guess for balance, they could show Poppy Bush yukking it up

with Osama bin Laden's brother at the Carlyle Group stockholders' meeting the morning of 9/11?
