GOP Tactic #723: Present Fiction as Fact, Repeat

Democrats urge ABC to withdraw 9/11 movie because its classified as a docudrama based on the 9/11 Commission Report following the horrible attacks on 9/11 several years ago.

The problem is that the movie is based on bullshit and is intentionally muddying the political waters just as we enter the mid-term election season.

I have no problem with romanticized versions of what happened on 9/11 so long as they aren't presented as factual recreations. ABC's "The Path to 9/11" contains demonstrably false information and, as such, is both misleading and insulting to the American people.

ThinkProgress has a lot more meat and gristle to chew on. And contacts to voice your disgust at this unethical re-writing of history to paint the GOP in a better light.
