Don't Tread On Me, eh?

Don't tread on me

George W. Bush, advocating a constitutional amendment against flag desecration, June 27, 2006: "By showing respect for our flag, we show reverence for the ideals that guide our nation. And we show appreciation for the men and women who have served in defense of those ideals.

George W. Bush, commemorating the attacks of 9/11, Sept. 10, 2006:

Right-wingers at it again ... Willful Deception.

So the folks at Disney studios are putting out planned docudrama about the events of 9/11/2001. Why am I not surprised that this event blames the Clinton administration for 9/11 and pretty much lets the current adminstration off the hook on the worst national security failure ever on American soil?

 

So much so, that one of the FBI agents quit working on it as a consultant because he thought they were making things up.

 

How convenient this comes out, just before the 5-year anniversary of this right-wing government's most monumental failure, and just before what is sure to be a very hotly contested 2006 mid-term Congressional Elections.

 

Matt Stoller over at MyDD has been tracking how Digby's been doing stellar work on Disney's ties to the right-wing.  

 

And then there's the folks over at Scholastic.

 

People should be mindful of these powerful corporations who fall into bed with the right-wing. They make tons of money today on the events of the past, to control how we all think tomorrow.

 

Tell ABC how you feel.
