GOP outrage after Harvey Weinstein movie on Bin Laden raid is 're-cut

GOP outrage after Harvey Weinstein movie on Bin Laden raid is 're-cut to add MORE footage of Obama'... and will be shown TWO days before election

President Obama will be featured front and center in an upcoming film which telling the story of the heroics of the elite SEAL team who brought down Osama bin Laden, thanks to heavy re-editing, it has been revealed.

SEAL Team Six: The Raid On Osama Bin Laden, backed by Academy Award-winning producer Harvey Weinstein, is set to air on November 4, two days before the election, and has been re-cut from its original format to feature more prominently the Commander-in-Chief.

But news of the edit has sparked an outcry with some Republicans who alleged that Mr Weinstein, who is a known supporter of the president, is trying to sway the election.

I erroneously posted this in the wrong forum yesterday, which is now locked: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014278532

However, it is just as funny today as it was then!

They have control of AM radio and an entire 24 hour news channel. But if they think one Obama supporter might possibly have a public voice in any way, OMG OUTRAGE.

And the fact that Bush didn't get Bin Laden, despite starting two wars for that purpose, and President Obama DID, is the absolute truth and these idiots can't deal with it.

He has the right to do that. It's his movie.

Just as that moron who made the anti-Obama had the right to make the rounds of the news shows, blathering on about his blatantly false propaganda.
