Ya know, I’ve set back and watched/listened to all this baloney about the “Path to 9/11.” What surprised and then delighted me is the liberal/Democrat reaction and subsequent tantrum over the whole thing. The Anchoress calls it “Textbook Projection.” I call it “Projectile Projecting.”
See, when I read what the Democrats said three years ago, predicting the GOP would go after broadcast licenses, and then see what they’re doing now, you know what I see? CLASSIC, TEXTBOOK PROJECTION. Three years ago they fretted about what conservatives might do because it was -they have now proved – exactly what they would do i, if they’d had the chance.
And never forget…these are the folks who gave standing ovations to Michael Moore’s Farenheit 9/11, which was sold as fact, not “docudrama” and which was anything but factual.
Ed Morrissey at Captain’s Quarters says…
If the Democrats do not like what ABC wants to broadcast, they have every right to protest it — and in this case, they had a point. They can organize protests and boycotts, letter-writing campaigns and so on. What they cannot do is to threaten a broadcast license for political differences, regardless of the situation. It violates the spirit of free speech and makes the Democrats look like Big Brother.
[…] Welcome to the Enforced Perspective Party. It’s a staggeringly dumb political mistake, and if it’s not withdrawn quickly, will do real damage to the Democrats for years.
Doesn’t “Enforced Perspective Party” sound alot like the “Forced Conversion Process”?
With less than 60 days until the mid-term elections, I have been hoping for the Dems to do something incredibly stupid, involving alot of posturing and bluster and slimy political double-speak. This is outstanding! They have shot such a big hole in their own foot, they have effectively crippled their reputations with conservative American voters. There is going to be so much egg on their faces, they will qualify for poster children in Dairy industry commercials!
All Things Beautiful says it so eloquently!
I repeat, this episode is yet again exposing how militant liberals increasingly treat free speech, civil liberties and all the rest with utter contempt, for they view these constitutional cornerstones of our society as nothing more than useful tools to further their ideologies; but only as long as they conform neatly with Liberal party doctrine. Any deviation, even the rumor of it, unleashes the militant left into overdrive, mobilizing a systematic efforts to suppress and censor such political diversity.
In their own words, they explain why it is so important to prevent any diversion away from liberal doctrine:
The reason this matters so much, and why Democrats are so apoplectic at the way ABC has handled this material, is that popular culture has a way of inculcating certain concepts into people’s minds, especially young minds, far more effectively than talking head programs or earnest debates among political bloggers and columnists. This is the kind of thing that could taint the debate for generations if it takes hold. end box
But one last word to the Media – THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU! Stop trying to make the news about yourselves…just please SHUT UP. You should really work on that credibility problem you have….
