“The Path to 9/11,” a phony “docudrama” developed by a notorious right-wing extremist, Cyrus Nowrasteh, is creating quite a stir. ABC/Disney seems determined to broadcast this unpaid GOP political advertisement, despite an outcry over its numerous inaccuracies.
The main purpose is to try to let the Bush regime off the hook for its failure to prevent the 911 attacks. The main tactics are to make the Cowardly Lion in the White House look courageous and blame to Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was responsible for some nasty conservative policies (e.g. NAFTA, supporting price gouging on AIDS drugs, welfare "reform," etc.), but his administration took its responsibility to protect the country from terrorism seriously, something the Bush regime still refuses to do.
Here is a smattering of reactions to the ABC/Disney/GOP propaganda film:

Don't see what is wrong with explaining how we misread the signs of 9/11, regardless of who was in office. Liberals can dish it out but can't take it.
and how can you know anything about this without seeing it? If you don't have an advance "screening" copy you should probably shut up.
Conservatives always think people should "shut up" when they are telling the truth.
You effort to pander to fanatical homophobes like the Bushes and the GOP are truly pathetic.
You effort to pander to fanatical homophobes like the Bushes and the GOP are truly pathetic.
YOUR effort to dismiss the questions of others without answering them--about a program you have yet to see--is even MORE pathetic.
Liberals always think people should "shut up" when they speak the truth, AND have the facts to back it up.
Funny how Fahrenheit 9/11 is a fine example of how its okay to be partisan but the ABC drama crosses the line. How shallow and hypocritical can you be?
It is amazing how the extreme right will portray a fictional account of 911 as fact, merely because it lets the Bush regime off of the hook for its responsibility for the success of the worst terrorist attacks in US history.
The irony is that Farenheit 9/11 was factually based, yet the Bush supporters try to equate it with the fictions of propagandists determined to prop up a failed administration.
Dude,
This effort to silence the mini-series is really going to backfire for the democrats.
