Imagine that Michael Moore made a Television Documentary...

(My reply to an ongoing discussion with a Bush supporter in a thread on a teacher board about "Path to 9/11.")

Imagine that a group of liberals - hell, imagine it was Michael Moore - made a television movie about 9/11. Imagine that the movie depicted the Bush administration ignoring or downplaying the Clinton administration's warnings about terrorism and bin Laden (one quote is that the Bush administration thought the Clinton administration was "obsessed with terrorism"). Imagine that this movie showed Bush receiving a briefing about a month before the attacks saying that bin Laden was determined to attack the United States, perhaps even using hijacked planes. Imagine that the movie depicted President Bush, after being told at Booker Elementary that our nation was under attack, sitting incommunicado for seven minutes while hijacked planes took aim at Washington D.C. Imagine that the made for TV movie alleged that a painfully slow military response to the hijacked planes failed to protect our nation's own military nerve center. Imagine that the movie showed scenes in which those charged with alerting our nation's protectors to a military emergency lied to a commission investigating the attacks. Imagine that the movie depicted the Bush administration using the 9/11 attacks for political gain and for invading a country which had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Just for good measure, imagine that the movie compared President Clinton's handling of the World Trade Center attack which happened thirty something days into his administration, with the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, which happened seven months into the Bush administration. Imagine that his movie showed that the 1993 WTC attack masterminds had been apprehended, sentenced, and jailed, and that the 2001 WTC masterminds were still at large, some five years after the 2001 attacks. Then imagine that Michael Moore teamed up with a solidly entrenched liberal educational service to deliver free lesson plans based on this movie to tens of thousands of high school students, and that the lesson plans had advertisements directing students to Michael Moore's web site. Now, imagine that the only consultants to the Michael Moore movie were from the left, and that Bush administration officials were not consulted about the movie's facts. In addition, imagine that that only left-wing bloggers and media personalities were given advance copies of the movie to review. How would the right feel? Do you honestly believe they would say, "Oh, well, it's just a movie. We trust the American people to understand the facts?" Based on past actions by the right, I say there is no way in hell the right would react that way.

That's how we feel. The only differences between the pretend movie above and "The Path to 9/11" is that the movie depicted above is based on facts, and that no broadcast network would dare air this pretend, but factually correct Michael Moore movie.

~~~ ~~~

ask yourself.
and how would right wingers react?

Seriously.. read what they're saying and you'll see that they're being sarcastic to the lowlife RW'ers who actually compare this mocudrama to Fahrenheit 9/11.

I think Teach did a great job! ~~

that the movie showed the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense in a routine meeting at the Pentagon, and, after hearing about the second plane hitting the WTC, deciding there was nothing they could do about it, and carrying on with the meeting. (This is a true fact, according to Paul Wolfowitz).

another forum who are still crying foul over this brou-ha-ha. this is a perfect response.
