Does anyone remember the details of ABC's "Pathway to 9-11"?
What did ABC do that was so controversial with that movie (documentary)? And why were so many DUers pissed off at ABC?

7. No, it was JOHNSON.
When calling others "stupid," you might want to make sure you have your facts right.

10. Yes, and you fortunately caught and edited your error out.
As well as the name-calling.

Good for you.

12. You edited your post.
I have the original screencapped if you really want to continue this silly game, otherwise I'd suggest you stop typing now.

13. I don't give a rat's ass what you have. I was referring to the most recently Impeached President.
Or are you denying that Mr. Hillary Clinton was the most recently impeached?

15. Fine, you asked for it.
Here was your original post:


You edited it to remove your error of supposedly "correcting" the other poster, and then calling them a name.

When your original post is considered, my response to you makes perfect sense. Shall we continue, or are we done now?

16. So the fuck what? I know who our two Impeached Presidents were, Clinton most recently.
No wonder you want to quibble over typos when you have to defend the most disgusting chapters of Clinton history.

Anything to distract from LIARS and their LEGACY.

19. Not typos.
Your error and your insult. I'm not defending Clinton here, that has nothing to do with it. Your error and your behavior are what I was addressing.

In fact, since you edited your post and then tried to deny it, your use of the phrase "LIARS and their LEGACY" is deliciously ironic.

21. You can try to distract all day, but Clinton's Impeachment is a matter for history. -eom

23. Never said it wasn't.
But once again, this isn't about Clinton. That's your red herring because you got caught and you're angrily attacking to try and save face. We can keep this going as long as you'd like - you just keep looking more and more childish. I suggest you act like an adult, own up to your mistake, and maybe even apologize to the person you insulted.

24. Are you my mom? Sorry, I know the Clinton Impeachment is a touchy subject for many. -eom

26. Yup, Clinton was impeached.
Only the second president in history to have it happen.

Not denying it, not defending him. Don't find it a touchy subject at all. His behavior with Lewinsky quite reasonably could be argued to have cost Gore the election in 2000. I'm disgusted and disappointed in Bill Clinton for giving Republicans that opportunity.

But AGAIN, that's not the point. Would it really kill you to apologize?

2. If I recall correctly
the screenplay was written by some lying Bushbot, and the movie appeared to blame 9/11 on the previous administration?

3. They were OFF by an administration. 9-11 was blowback from Poppy Bush and his BCCI operations
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 09:41 AM by blm
that he had been instrumental in developing since before Reagan took office, and Bill's biggest role was mainly in bending over and protecting Poppy Bush's secrecy and privilege throughout the 90s instead of letting the American people have a full picture of the extent of the criminal operations GHWBush was involved, along with his powerful cronies like Jackson Stephens, Dubai and Saudi royals, the bin Ladens, AQ Khan, Marc Rich, Adnan Kashoggi, James Bath, et al.


Funny how ABC and most every corpmedia organization manages to leave that info out of their timelines.

5. "Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you?"


"but you do believe he is as patriotic as you are?"
-George Stephanopolous

Charlie Gibson had a long question about how when capital gains tax rates are cut tax revenue goes up but when it is raised turns out :wow: tax revenue goes down. He thinks that this is the only part of the equation not anything else going on just the multiplier.


You can see the rest of the debate is bits here

The Path to 9/11 was a horribly slanted rewriting of history but a rightwing agent

14. Until last night's debate, and maybe one other time,
I have held to the boycott started as a result of the farcicle "Path to 9-11" broadcast.

After last night, the boycott is back on.

18. But it's all water under the bridge now.....
...Bill Clinton bashing has become all the vogue these days, especially with right wing talking points.

Two legs good, four legs bad!

Please get it right, comrade. Or perhaps you are in need of some re-education?
