US - The Democrats chill wind

Betsy has a roundup of how the Democrats are trying hide what they did not do prior to 9/11. It's important to revisit these facts and compare them to The Path to 9/11.

She ends with this stark warning, that if this unprecedented attempt to stifle free speech, going so far as to threaten a public broadcasters license, is an indication of how far the Democrats will go to silence their critics, can you imagine what they would be like in office? I can. I remember when the Clinton's used the IRS to go after their critics.

Think for a moment about the concerted action by Democrats, their lawyers, former White House operatives, Bill Clinton, sympathetic historians, and lefty bloggers to stop this show. Remember that this was the same crowd that was full of praise of for Fahrenheit 9/11 for crystallizing their opposition to George Bush. Accuracy and versimilitude didn't bother them then. And they weren't saying a word about 60 Minutes "fake but accurate" story on Bush's National Guard service. Now, ask yourself. If this crowd were to control the White House, how many more of these attempts to stifle any criticism of them would we be seeing? Think of how much has been aired during Bush's tenure, even a movie depicting him being assassinated and
more denials of civil liberties gets made without Bush's White House unleashing its lawyers. But, for this thing, the Democrats go to the mattresses. Are they perhaps modeling for us what their response would be to further criticism if they should gain control of the White House - or even of Congress? Don't forget those not-so-veiled threats to ABC's license. Ponder that chill wind.

Yes, ponder that chill wind for a while.
