The exploration of the truth was cancelled due to the documents perhaps being forged. Forged or not, the truth was buried in the Rather witch hunt. Also, because Rather is a fool, are we supposed to forget he's a newsreader? No. The forged documents told the truth.

Does this mean the Left has to pay Rove royalties? BTW, I assume you felt Rather got the shaft, because the gist of his story was accurate. distortion? innuendo? guilt by association?

If you had replaced the word "Evangelical Christian" with the word "Communist," any 5th grader could have identified it easily. But Cyrus Nowrasteh is not the only to receive death threats after doing a movie. This juicy tidbit from the new Gertz book: <i>How North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il was so upset by the 2004 puppet comedy film “Team America: World Police,” that he ordered his intelligence agents to assassinate the producers.</i> I posted comments prior to the completion of “Path to 9/11″ about an appearance by some dude from “think Progress” in the MSNBC “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” whose remarks, I indicated, just screamed of McCarthyism.

I've lived in a terrorist cesspool for 18 months now, and I've been waiting for someone to point the finger in the right direction for this mess we're in right now (at least, as it applies to the major media). Also, I think you hit the nail right on the head with the McCarthy reference, and if ever there was a more despicable cautionary tale of activism run amok in America it's that so-called "era."

Color me unimpressed but one does not work in the entertainment industry, either Hollywood or NY, and not see this type of treatment going on all the time. The hate-filled rhetoric to slime and discredit 'those puritan, uptight Jesuslander Nazis'; rage predominately based on rage from gay marriage/abortion issues, is everything to those in this industry. What upsets Nowrasteh was that it happened to him. Hollywood screenwriter and directer Cyrus Nowrasteh is stunned by the political hit he received for his part in The Path to 9/11?
