I’m already tired of hearing Bush supporters say that the crapudrama, “The Path to 9/11″ is no different than Michael Moore’s, “Farenheit 911.”
It’s different, morons.
A “docudrama” employs actors to portray real people who participated in real events.
Farenheit 911 featured a narrator, Michael Moore, presenting his opinion with newsreels, interviews, and other nonfiction footage to illustrate.
Farenheit 911 was not presented on television without commercial interruption by a major broadcast network with a major broadcast news division.
Farenheit 911 was not picked up by Scholastic children’s publishing company to be presented as a curriculum in public schools.
Farenheit 911 was not denounced by people who appeared in it as a travesty before it was ever aired.
Farenheit 911 was blocked from being released by Disney/Miramax/ABC, acting on its own. The same media conglomerate has refused calls not to air The Path to 9/11 from Pres. Clinton, Secretary of State Albright, members of the 9/11 commission, other senators and representatives, and the public.
I’m sure there are lots more ways the two films are different. Help me out here in the comments section.
As far as I know, NONE of the “spin doctors” has ever proven anything presented in F 9/11 to be either untrue or inaccurate, let alone UNTRUE!
To my simple old hill billy mind, this fact ALONE obviates any further comparisons of the two films!
What is surprising is that President Bush didn’t pull his “blame Bill Clinton for 9/11″ number immediately after that catastrophe, but has waited five years for the Disney Corporation to do the job for him. Perhaps he (actually his string pullers since he’s but a puppet on a string) felt that nobody would have believed him five years ago had he scapegoated Clinton for 9/11, so he decided instead to hold off on this accusation and let Disney prepare a bogus docudramatization, the better to fool the public. It won’t work though. Why not? It’s the Iraq war now, stupid! .
Farenheit 911 was true
Disney’s basing its script on the1933 Reichstag fire which Hitler (he accused Jews of starting it and never mind that the Nazis themselves were the culprits) exploited in order to terrorize the German people and stampede parliament into granting him absolute power. Disney also scapegoats but its target, in this bogus docudramatization of the events that led up to 9/11, is none other than former president Bill Clinton, rather than any particular ethnic group. But undoubtedly Disney’s intent in producing this two part dramatization is the same as Hitler’s was when he had his party torch the Reichstag – To crush all opposition to the commander-in-chief, thereby permitting him to make war upon whomever he pleases and, at the same time, turn the homeland into a fascist state..Other than time and place, there’s another difference between how the two commanders-in-chief exploited their respective tragedies. While Hitler after the Reichstage fire moved immediately to scapegoat Jews and terrorize the rest of the populace, the Disney Corporation (acting on behalf President Bush)) waited five years after 9/11 to come out with its bogus docudrama which, in an obvious attempt to swing the November election to the Republican party, falsely blames President Bill Clinton for 9/11. Why this five year delay? Simply that Bush’s handlers (Cheney, Rove et al) must have known that, while they might not get away with their scapegoating number right after 9/11, they might pull it off if they were patient and waited for one of their partners in the MSM to do the job for them, Now we’ll see whether the American people will be as gullible as the Germans were seventy-three years ago when the President Bush of that era (Adolf Hitler) tricked them into believing his version of who burnt-down the Reichstag.
Not this time, George Bush. We the people gonna see to that!
