This will be a critical test for her campaign.

http://rawstory.com//news/2007/911_docudrama_producer_blames_Hillary_for_0906.html

The dvd is a sham, and most likely so are the accusations about the Clinton's trying to stop it from the lying pig producer behind it.

My appologies to pigs for associating them with that producer

We all know what happened to Kerry when he essentially ignored the swift boating. This is Hillary's time, and in fact the Democratic party's opportunity to start standing up to this crap.

3. good for you. I for one hope the Democrats start calling them on lies, misrepresentations, and
propaganda

For over 10 years they have allowed the lies to go unchallenenged. Regardless of the fact that the media is a willing accomplice, enough is enough

7. I thought, as a group, Democrats handled that incident better
than usual. There were protests by party leaders and Disney got an earful from a lot of us. And, didn't Media Matters also take it up?

10. You are correct, it was handled better than we usually do. We cannot let lies go unchallenged
that is the most important message from what happened in 2004

2. Did you see Wolf Blitxer yesterday--Thurs pm. the Monica Lewinsky
Piece?? According to Blitzer Monica Kewinsky has written
a supposedly tell all book. Monica claims the Clintons
are blocking it's being brought to market.

Between the DVD and Monica--does appear a little swiftboating
might be occuring.

along with the negative ratings on the war, that this is making news now

Funny, the bin laden tape is a national event, but the loss of 6 American soldiers in Iraq hardly deserves a mention

The GAO, and other reports negative on the war are also kept on the back burner.

Damn libural media

9. First of all I am not a Hillary fan, though I will vote for her if she get the nomination
but this issue is much greater than Hillary. This is about lies be spread as truth, and unless it is stood up to, it will be taken as fact.

Do not think for a minute that any of the candidates are immune.

This presents an opportunity for all of them to stand up against this abuse

12. They will swift boat the dem nominee whoever it is.
Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 11:27 AM by Done
right now it looks like it's going to be Hillery, so they target her. If Obama does get the nomination or become the front runner, do you doubt for a minute that he will be swift boated?

11. When my son comes in an surfs thru my TV he asks what happened
to ABC and ABC family. I told him I programmed it, like I did Fox news and CNN out of my remote. I haven't watched anything on ABC long before the 9/11 movie lie.

13. Where are they on the "surge"??
I don't give a crap about this personal attack. Where is their so-called fight when it's important - combatting the Bush spin on the "surge".

15. Sorry, but the Clintons were "swiftboated" (i.e. lied about) since 2001 and did nothing to respond..
The charges made against Clinton that appeared in the 9/11 movie were gathered from about 8 books that were released between 2001-2006. The entire Democratic party was hung with the label that "Dems are weak on terror' because Bill Clinton never came out and defended himself and his administration from the charges leveled against him in those books.

Clinton never made a defense until that movie based on the lies in those books was due to be released. Right before his wife's presidential campaign began. How convenient.

Clinton owed Democrats across the board for sticking up for him all those years, yet Clinton stood by and let the entire party be smeared as weak on terror during the 2002 and 2004 campaigns while he refused to defend his administration on the terror issue in any publicly significant way. And, in fact, Clinton publicly gave his support for Bush's decisions on terrorism and the Iraq war throughout that time.

16. They are probably not releasing it cause they know the damn
thing won't sell. I think the American public is tired of 9-11.

I wish they'd just release the damn DVD's so Limpballs, Hannity, the Freepers and all the other Repuke pigs would just shut up about.

No offense meant to 4-legged pigs.
