9/11 Commissioner Lehman On Path to 9/11: ‘If You Don’t Like The Hits On the Clinton Administration, Welcome to the Club’

Today on ABC, former 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman (R) defended Path to 9/11. Lehman said, “if you don’t like the hits to the Clinton administration, well, welcome to the club.” According to Lehman, any defamatory material is acceptable because conservatives “have lived with Michael Moore” and “most of Hollywood.” Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/10/911-commissioner-lehman/

Can someone post a transcript of what he says? I'm on dial-up and it doesn't stream well for me.

1. Big difference, Johnny. F9/11 was a theatrical release

you had to PAY to go see it - it wasn't available free on your local TV, nor did it advertise itself as based on an authoritative report.
Oh, and Mike didn't get Scholastic to turn it into curricula to brainwash kiddies, either.

2. Also, Moore did not use actors

The footage he used were real people saying things in their own words.

6. Exactly!

There was no "dramatization" with actors depicting situations and dialogue that never occurred!!!

3. That's not what "welcome to the club" means. THAT implies HE agrees.

7. Sounds like his club consists of...

people who have been attacked-- but he fails to distinguish between fairly and unfairly.

8. That expression is going to haunt those RW sons of bitches for years

to come.

"Welcome to the club - motherfuckers!"

I've had it with these fucking ass holes.

Shit's gonna hit the fan soon.

4. I'm convinced - this country has to split up. They can fight

and create their own tyrants. Let them allow corporations to privatize them. Let Falwell Bennett Phelps and Robertson determine what is acceptable in morals and education of their kids. Let them create enemies - let them fight their crusades against homosexuals, Moslems, immigrants, Native and Black Americans. Let them invade sovereign nations on their own. Let them have the rich barons manipulate to keep their riches and figure out new ways to keep us down and contorl us. Let them let their Halliburtons and Enrons steal them blind. Let them plot together like Disney, ABC, Scholastic, WH, and other steering groups to keep their lemmings in place and pumped up. Let them steal votes from each other. Let them allow their lives to be monitored. No more of these ridicuous dictums and takeovers of us. Enough already. They represent about 27% of the country. Give it to them and tell them hands off. We will retain OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS AND IMPROVE ON IT. We will not LET THE REVERENDS AND THE BARONS rule us. We will demand fair and balanced news. Our leaders will work for us. We will replace those who won't. We will separate church and state.

5. Because "Michael Moore and most of Hollywood” threw uncomfortable

and damning facts in their faces it's fair for them to make shit up?
:crazy:
