The National Geographic Channel is planning to run an in-kind donation a movie about the US military mission that killed Osama bin Laden, on November 4. Two days before election day. Don’t question the timing, though, as the name once more known for baring tribal skin in the Serengeti is now diving into its hard-core fall television line-up. That’s all this is about. There are no politics or spiked footballs to see here, even though the film was financed by Obama mega-supporter Harvey Weinstein. The bin Laden raid movie just could not wait until Nov 7 to air. It must launch on Nov 4.
In any case, it’s a film about infidels killing a figure who is still revered across the Muslim world. Some people revere him so much that they chanted “Obama! Obama! We are all Osama!” while they were storming our embassy in Cairo last month. So threats of violence have followed the announcement to air the movie about his violent death.
According to a New York Post source, the channel has been bombarded with phone calls and blogs posts from “Muslim extremist groups” warning that anyone airing a film like this is asking for trouble.
Hm. Discovery Channel aired an hour-long movie about killing bin Laden earlier tonight. I watched most of it, and it was pretty good. It definitely has a happy ending for all but a couple of the figures on screen. One gets lead poisoning at high speed, through the eye, and the narrator allows that the last thing the tall porn-obsessed fellow saw before meeting his virgins was a SEAL-shaped shadow aiming a rifle at him. That’s a visual that sticks in the mind, unless it blows your brains out.
The football was duly spiked in that hour-long film, but I don’t recall Discovery coming under any jihadist threat for airing it. Maybe Discovery needs a better marketing team.
Curious thing, though. Discovery’s huge network airing a professionally produced bin Laden film doesn’t cause riots, but an obscure YouTube movie with barely any views did. The darndest things go viral these days.
“Enough threats have come in that the network is on higher security alert,” the source said. “They have a huge public building with a museum and 1,600 people working.”
The movie, which focuses on one of President Obama’s most successful moments in office, will premiere just two days before the November 6 election, drawing fire from critics on the right who have accused National Geographic of being partisan.
“Next question for the president and his peanut gallery: Why don’t you have Eric Holder jail the NatGeo filmmakers? They’re making a film that offends people and threats of violence are in the air. Surely Weinstein has some traffic ticket or something on his record that’s worth a peek. Why don’t y’all haul him in for a midnight chat, eh?”
Perhaps David Petraeus could call up these Natgeo filmmakers like he did small church Christian Minister Terry Jones and try to dissuade them from disrespecting Islam.
Most intrinsically, there is more than enough scuttlebutt to suggest, the Liar-in-Chief was on the golf course when it went down, having already thwarted 2 of the SEAL’s operational plans to assassinate him. The above jives in with the strange photo shop pic of ‘The One’ in the situation room.
Be that as it may, the SEALS should be promoted as the heroes, certainly not a POTUS who can’t string together the words, Islamic and terror.
Regardless, liars not only lie, but they showboat too -http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/10/13/the-liar-in-chief-his-many-tall-tells-end-game-purposefully-tearing-the-u-s-from-its-constitutional-roots-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
could not have said it better myself
We all saw Brian Williams Obama worship
in the Discovery piece.
And we all know NBC is totally in the bag for Obama.
Here’s why Discovery’s Military Channel
Ran that Obama puff piece:

NatGeo is even worse…
It is oddly ironic how a group of people (socialists) denounce the alleged “disrespect” for is-lame and espouse “tolerance” and “acceptance” while simultaneously claiming credit for the demise of one of is-lame’s biggest representatives.
Clearly they want it both ways. But see, the muslims waste not a second on listening to the crap that is ladled out by the US socialists, who say one thing/do another even as their lies evolve and change with the weather.
However, it’s also my considered opinion that the caped invader delayed offing Bin Laden because he secretly admired the guy to the Nth degree. Only when cornered into action did he allow it to happen. One can easily imagine how it would’ve fallen out had he not been told and the military op went ahead without president sand wedge knowing. He would’ve made a huge show about being “usurped” which, for people like him is a much easier task than actually making any kind of correct decision.
And if there’s riots in Arab countries after on Nov.4th – that’s a bad thing?
Yes, it sounds cold and harsh, but if a bunch of “radical” Islamists want to riot, it shows just how bad Obama’s Foreign policies really are. Boo-Yay
The thing is, as bad as the political timing of the film is, when they get threatened, ALL OF US are threatened. Full stop. The radical threats are no less against their lives and liberty than ours. We really are in a global war against an evil enemy. I can’t stand Obama, but he sits in our white house and we cannot allow ourselves to fall into the trap of thinking the democrats, are our reluctant allies in a war against fascism’s last latest wave. They may be clueless but the one thing we can all agree on is without free speech democracy dies. All our liberties are under attack. We need to defend freedom first.
November surprise, or its trigger?
Well, the false flag/trigger already began – yesterday, with the ‘so-called’ attempt to bomb the Fed Reserve.
How convenient, huh?
I think yesterday’s reported attempt to blow up the Fed isn’t helpful to Obama. For a long time, Obama has been on the campaign trail telling how bin Laden is dead and Al Queda is on the run. A significant terrorism strike at home would seriously undermine that claim. Even the arrest undermines the claim. Fox News noted this morning how Obama has dropped the line about Al Queda is on the run from his stump speech.
He must truly be a conflicted man. Having to publicly decry such behavior while privately relishing in the cajones this teen has to attempt what he did. Add to that, the jealousy Obama must feel because if this kid succeeded, then Barry would look weak just because it happened on his watch and also because it wasn’t him as the attacker.
It’s a very surreal paradigm. But I can easily see captain no-clothes as an underground bomber, either getting funding for nefarious activity against the United States or actually participating himself, trying to stay ahead of the law.
Indeed, I think this is his plan for his next “career”. He will feel perfectly justified in his anger when he’s un-elected. The spiteful acts will propagate every so many months to years but authorities won’t believe their eyes and ears when all the evidence points towards Brack. Or, there will be paid-off and complicit authorities who are fellow travelers, believing such activity is necessary and who will be happy to hide and obscure evidence that points towards the nasty little POS.
@4 Ghilmeini – If you think the Democrats believe in the Bill of Rights then I submit you may be delusional. If you think they believe in the First Amendment and free speech, just look at all the PC crap and their assaults on free speech when that speech criticizes Mo or supports Christians. The Dems are all about more government and that means more control of your life and everyone else as well. Defeat the Dems, defend our freedoms, stop Islam.
The only “real” terrorists are the bigoted, gun-toting, hillbillies, of America’s dark, overgrown, hinterland — dontcha know. Just ask internal security chief Naploitano.
How could you possibly equate the followers of the “religion of peace” to those troglodytic miscreants.
– Natl Geo mag declares Obama the winner. 57 states. No wonder the mag sells subscriptions for a buck an issue.
*sigh*
Used to really like NatGeo. Especially during the space-race.
Haven’t opened a copy of the yellow-bordered mag in some years now. Not since they took up with AGW, total racist commentary, anti-religion and hatred of the West.
Sad.
Nat Geo is trying to drum up ratings for November sweeps. So they latched on to this film.
With a Sunday night airing, this will be on the busiest TV night of the week. That film will have to go against the Dallas/Atlanta NFL game, and all the other standard Sunday night fare: Amazing Race, Revenge, Good Wife, other assorted female oriented programs.
This is a subject that has already been hashed over by other films. I think the ratings will be dismal – but give Nat Geo credit for trying to goose their ratings by creating a controversy.
The Dems and their house of cards are crumbling. They have no plan. They attack. This is a last gasp trying to get the momentum to sway.
Don’t the dems realize the riots on Nov. 5th will show Obama’s foreign policy to be an even greater disaster than we could ever imagine?
Go ahead Obama, run the movie, wait for the deaths from rioting, and blame it then on a movie.
At least then, you won’t be lying.
Yeah, timing, I doubt it’s effective.
Wasn’t Atlas Shrugged II supposed to be timed to the electoral final run?
I don’t think people will change their minds due to this. In any case, some riots here and there would be useful at last to sink this administration
Romney should bring this up Monday: obscure YouTube trailer vs. professionally directed prime time blitz.
Do you think that Obama in response to the riots in the muslim world on November 5 will call out Carney, Rice and Clinton to denounce the anti-islamic, disgusting video made by NatGeo for causing them. After all. the administration had nothing to do with producing it and the administration respects the islamic world and its sensibilities.
“to run an in-kind donation a movie”
What is this? Plan E?
Plan A = run on the record. Oooops. Can’t do that. On to plan B
Plan B = paint opponent as Freddie Krueger, Louis Garavito, Jeffery Dahmer, Ghostface, Wayne Gayce, Ted Bundy, Hitler, and Stalin all rolled into one. Oooops. That didn’t work either. On to plan C
Plan C = Claim victory in battle against terrorism with Obama’s very own movie about killing UBL while telling women they will be returned to indentured servitude and back alley abortions. Oooooops. That didn’t work either.
Plan D = Win debates by playing it cool and lying. Ooooops. That didn’t work either. On to plan E.
Plan E = Construct a firewall around a handful of states while suppressing military votes, storing ballot boxes filled with absentee Obama votes in strategic cities, litigating computer voting, voter ID laws, and voter roll purges.
Plan F = dragoon NatGeo into filling vacancy left by Bigelow’s failure to deliver Zero Dark Thirty before the election (while Affleck’s Argo is out there reminding everyone of what total screw-ups Democrats are when they try to fight any force more lethal than a wet kitten).
I think this plan needs to go somewhere on your list.

Very funny. Even funnier, though tragic, would be another movie house mass murder on opening night by a home grown Muslim on jihad out to seek revenge for Osama. I wonder if that event could qualify as a November surprise and the unintended, ironic, Hollywood produced ending for Obama’s administration as the chickens come home to roost? Sooner or later the FBI is going to run out dumb Muslims to catch through sting operations.
Curious we’ve got three movies about getting Bin Laden, but none about the loss of a highly sensitive UAV over Iranian airspace. In the latter case, the very limited reporting tells how Obama rejected every option to retrieve or destroy that UAV before Iran got their hands on it. Days later he issued a public appeal to Iran to “pretty please” return his UAV. Iranian fundamentalists have a lousy sense of humor, but I bet they went into fits of laughter over that request.
I wonder if any of those movies will describe the aftermath of the Bin Laden hit – how an Administration doing a victory dance exposed sensitive operational details that landed a Pakistani a jail sentence for helping us, put members of the Seal Teams at risk and likely played a part in getting many of them killed months later.
That poster is the best target I have ever seen. Can I have it?
Hanity will be releasing a little film I like to call “the great raid on benghazi consulate” tomorrow night. I have a feeling it won’t be good for Obama.
Obama has aided and abetted the creation of this film, which, if anything would, should really, really irritate Muslims – more than even the phony crisis over the film nobody ever saw . . . but I am sure the Liar in Chief will see this as a proper tribute to his bravery, leadership, and statesman like quality so – put it on boys – whether or not it angers the Islamic world, gives away military secrets, violates government regulations about supply sensitive information to movie producers – whatever, so long as O gets to flex his puny little chest, pop out his eyes, and exclaim, “O, what a big boy I am!)
“It’s all very confusing, isn’t it?”
Only if one hasn’t read the Koran. If one has, one knows that there is the House of Islam and the House of War. You are us or you are against us.
Haji can’t shoot.
I contacted NatGeo about this in protest and got a PDQ reply-it is all about money. Their “projects/not politics BS. Look what they gave to Obama. Biased as CNN Hippocrates.
