Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones...But The Truth Will Kill Me (If I'm A Dem)

by Ric Ottaiano
September 8, 2006

The left-wingnuts are going berserk and shrieking uncontrollably over the docudrama “The Path to 9/11.” On my drive from my day job today, I heard no less than three callers on two different talk shows prattling on about the “historical innacuracies” of a mini-series they have yet to see. But the most disturbing aspect was the tone of the debate. One caller told the writer of the mini-series, Cyrus Nowrasteh, who was being interviewed, “I hope you die!”

I spoke a bit this morning during my show on WideAwakesRadio about the immaturity and churlishness of the left, and this is a perfect example. The cries for censorship from the champions of free speech is delightful to hear. The calls for slander lawsuits by public figures [Paul Begala urging Sandy “Just Stuff It In My Pants” Berger to sue] over a docudrama would be laughable were it not so demonstrably pitiful.

How soon they forget. The “documentary” Farenheit 9/11, All the President’s Men, JFK, Nixon, the list goes on. All were efforts to synthesize into a few hours storylines that, in real time, took months, even years, to develop. Dramatic license was taken in all, including the melding together of certain real life characters for the screen. There were no shots across the bows of the producers of those movies with threats of regulatory witch-hunts as the Democrats are doing now.

The bottom line is that “The Path to 9/11″ will serve to remind us not just of the gravity of what occurred five years ago this Monday, and of the intelligence failures that preceded it over the prior eight years, not just eight months.

They are afraid of this television program. They are truly afraid. And it’s funny to watch.
