Tom Borelli is so sure the Walt Disney Co. is suppressing the DVD release of the 2006 miniseries “The Path to 9/11″ for political reasons that he is ready to put up money to prove the point.
Mr. Borelli, a Disney shareholder, accused Disney CEO Robert Iger at a March 6 shareholders’ meeting of blocking the release of “Path” in order to protect Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the legacy of her husband’s administration.
Mr. Iger countered at the time that the decision not to release the miniseries on DVD was motivated by business considerations, not political ones.
Mr. Borelli has now told The Washington Times he plans to make an offer to buy the DVD rights to “Path,” an Emmy-winning miniseries that prompted fury among Democrats for its depiction of the Clinton administration as dithering and adrift in the face of the growing threat from radical Islamic terrorism.

The business consideration being they don’t want Dem politicians mad at them.

I’d be more inclined to believe Iger, given that Disney is a very large company and bureaucracies can take on a life of their own, were it not for the fact that the cheapest, most worthless crap is published on DVD every day – Disney being among the biggest offenders when it comes to large companies. Disney would rather ruin their brand and their various franchises just to make a buck off selling crappy direct-to-DVD sequels than publish DVDs of a television miniseries? I say this as somebody who owns a very small amount of Disney stock.

Iger is a big time Clinton donor, he won’t let that bad boy out until the DNC is over, and probably not after that either.

Nobody’s done an Iger Sanction joke yet?
This is why we lose, people.

Same as the Fitna thinger, really. Free speech is really problematic not just for Disney but for lots of Democrats really.
