Wasn't this exact same arguement just floated around regarding the ABC miniseries (the one Clinton was supposed to have deemed unfair) before it had even aired? And what side of the discussion were you on regarding that?

I think I wasn't clear on my point.
The issue is that while we argue about whatever, left vrs right, socialism vrs capitalism, etc, we have a storm that has been coming since 500 AD just over the horizon.
So we have a film that takes a leftist stance, shows the assassination of a SITTING US president, makes up its own twisted false historical visions, yet they would be terrified to make a film showing whats going on for real with Islamic extremists lest they offend them.
Honestly I don't understand how the left is so blind to it all, but then again they don't understand basic human nature to start with as is evident by embracing socialism, so I can see where they would fail here too.
We need this dealt with now, not after China catches up and Europe gets even older and weaker militarily. After the bloodiest century on record, I would hope that the left would come to understand that wars haven't gone away because they are inconvenient and nasty.
