Bad Will Hunting

by Andrew Breitbart - September 16th, 2008 - Real Clear Politics

. . . "The Path to 9/11" focused on the emergence of radical Islamic terror as a clear and present American threat. Neither administration was cast as the villain; the Islamic terrorists were. Both administrations were rightfully portrayed as underestimating the threat.

Yet politicians and government employees tied to Bill and Hillary Clinton, all who admittedly hadn't seen the film, took to the airwaves to demand it not be aired or be radically edited, with only days to go before its premiere.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, Rep. Louise M. Slaughter and even former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, who was convicted of destroying top-secret national security documents, demanded that Disney cut the movie to their liking or pull it from the air, within days of its anticipated airing.

Political hacks gleefully declared victory over free speech. Hollywood stood silent as the political class demanded blatant censorship.

The repeated success by those on the left in using blatant manipulation of our society and it's press to suppress truth, "book burning" in absolute fact, makes a mockery of the current hyteria claiming that asking about the process by Palin is some great threat to the truth getting out. The left does not ask about the process of blocking a book. They actively ban anything they dislike and the concern by liberal actors is totally absent.

This issue is not about "book burning." It is about character assasination by liberals of anyone they dislike.
