Clintonistas clueless, here – UPDATED

UPDATE::: SCROLL DOWN FOR ORIGINAL POST:::

The NY Post reports that Bill Clinton is trying to get ABC to to pull its docudrama, The Path to 9/11 if it does not make his desired changes.

A furious Bill Clinton is warning ABC that its mini-series “The Path to 9/11” grossly misrepresents his pursuit of Osama bin Laden – and he is demanding the network “pull the drama” if changes aren’t made.

Read the whole article. Clearly, unless a thing makes him look like the hero and savior of the world, Bill Clinton doesn’t want it out there for public consumption.

Blue Crab Boulevard astutely notes:

Back when Fahrenheit 911 was the talk of the blogosphere, all the criticism I read was about its accuracy…A lot of bloggers wanted to set the record straight, but to my knowledge not one of those people I was reading at that time…was calling for it to be silenced. They only wanted the record straight.

Now…the left side of the blogosphere and mainstream Democratic politicians are calling for [The Path to 9/11] to be radically changed or silenced. Some are gloating that they think they have silenced some voices.[…]

One group decries the accuracy, the other decries the existence. Who is in favor of silencing the opposition again? Who is in favor of curtailing the free speech of others?
[All emphasis mine – admin]

All of this, of course, is meant to politicize, polarize and discredit the film. If the Clintonistas can’t get it pulled, they’ll make sure the whole endeavor is characterized as a “right wing glorification of Bush,” even though – from what I have read, anyway – Bush’s mistakes get shown, too. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am so tired of this “scorched earth” technique of overwhelming any issue with a PR bombardment and loud subject changing. I’m so tired of the Clintonian methods and models.
END UPDATE:::

Do the Clintonistas not understand just how very bad they look as they hysterically try to discredit this film?. Do those members of the press jumping on the Clinton bandwagon realize what protective toadies and hypocrites they look like?

They’d do much better to simply let the thing play and act like grown ups…but as I wrote here, they’re not used to not having full control over a media issue…or history.
