Uh, no. Ed Shultz is wrong. This is not the Conservative F-911.
I'm sorry, but that's a fucking insult to Michael Moore and F-911.

First of all, F-911 was a documentary. Moore used real news clips and talked to the real people. He had the guts to go confront the real politicians. He used real events, and presented them in the format that he is known best for. He has been doing the same thing since "Roger and Me"

Path is a fucking movie. It's paid actors, it's written with a script, and it is based loosely on events that transpired with a blatant neo-con propaganda slant. Does anyone think that Cyrus Nowrasteh and the rest of these chicken shit screen writers and producers would actually have the guts to walk up to Bill Clinton and confront him about ignoring terrorists like he accuses him of? Or Madeleine Albright? Or Sandy Berger? Hell these chickenshit bastards don't even want to let them WATCH it must less actually show some stones and act like a real documentary film maker.

And just in case anyone forgot, the neo-cons already came out with their attempt at a rebuttal to F-911 using a documentary format and facts. Dollars to donuts I'll bet only 1 in 10 americans actually know what it was really called because it was so weak, and lacking in any real content.

10. They had their rebuttal documentary.
It was called Faith in the White House. And no one remembers it because it sucked.

11. But in CONTENT, the OP is right.
F 9/11 was a documentary.

26. That's right.
And this path to 9/11 mockumentary shit probably IS a "documentary" to repukes, because it's full of the lies they love so much.

I mean, how on earth could you face yourself in the bathroom mirror (maybe that's Rove's secret - he doesn't have an image) without lying to yourself constantly?

20. Don't kid yourself; Conservatives know full well it's a pack of lies.
It's simply that they feel lies are more important for their interests than truth.

21. Except Disney bailed on F 9/11
And paid $20,000,000 for this piece of crap to be broadcast on OUR airwaves as if it were an objective true story. That's the difference.

it was too close to elections, and it was too political.... Go figure :shrug:

38. With an exception
F-911 was factual, Path contains quite a bit of false information.

No one will argue that a lot of people disagreed with what Michael Moore said and depicted in his documentary, but he told the truth.

44. It seems that's not what Shultz is saying
"Path to 9-11 is the Conservative F-911"

versus

"This movie is to conservatives what F9/11 was to the left"

17. I have always stood up for Ed Schultz because he supports unions and
labor.

I am going to have a tough time standing up for him now.

4. In order to make a case against Clinton, they had to make up an
event that never happened. To make a case against bush one need only grab the nearest video tape of him . They know that.

15. I know. I already did.
I always last about three minutes into one of his monologues, and shut him off. I turn it back on when it's time for Randi though.

22. almost no one is bereft of value IMO
I disagree with Schultz on many issues, on thus vehemently because his analogy is faulty, but he is a strong worker/labor advocate and comes at BushCo pretty strong.

I don't like summarily kicking someone to the curb just because I don't agree with them. He is respectful in his discourse and I appreciate that.

16. Moore's film did NOT go out over the publicly owned airwaves;
Moore's film was NOT promoted as a teaching tool by Scholastic;
that's two differences.
Replace all radio entertainers with a good book on tape. A recent one. Not 1984.

25. That sounds right
I mean, the right-wing version of F-911 wouldn't be a factual documentary, it would be a ball of lies designed to mislead people, which is what 'Path' is. The right-wing version of F-911 wouldn't follow our standards (evidence, truth, etc.) It would follow their own (lies, wild accusations, etc). So this is their version of F-911.

There have been other 'conservative F-911s' before, but this one is actually generating some controversy, while the others were just completely ignored by pretty much everyone. So calling the the conservative F-911 sounds right to me.

36. Oh, and hey...
I would LOVE to listen to Randi on KQKE, but they delay her by four freaking hours. One so the morning guys don't have to get up too early and three so they can play Schultz. I'm back to streaming (which, unfortunately, is difficult for me on Mondays).

42. You are absolutely correct. F-911 was truth!!!

I heard Ed blowbag Shultz today and thought the exact same thing.

The guy does more harm than good ferrchrissakes.

I wish I could get someone else at this time slot, but I have no choice. I tune in for a few minutes before Randi every day.

He makes me crazy.
