In a new "history" cartoon aimed at children, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, now a Fox News personality, spins an animated, less-than-nuanced retelling of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., with a distinctly pro-Bush, pro-torture spin.
In his "Learn Our History," the former Republican presidential candidate puts forward a version of 9/11 that depicts America "coming together" in the wake of the attacks and rallying behind their leader's plan to "take down al Qaeda."
It closes with a montage showing alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- who was waterboarded 183 times in a single month -- an image of Osama bin Laden with the word "deceased" superimposed over his FBI profile, and former President George W. Bush telling U.S. first responders at the World Trade Center site that the terrorists would soon be punished.
Huckabee's "Learn Our History" series faced its first controversy after he blasted public schools for allegedly teaching children political bias in history class, only to release an episode which glamorized President Ronald Reagan and his anti-labor economic policies.
"In this important film, the time traveling teenagers learn about America’s heroic response to the tragic events of 9/11," Huckabee's website explains. "They strive to understand why Al-Qaeda attacked us and how the ongoing War on Terror protects Americans at home and American ideals abroad."
Cause you know in the rest of the cartoon Bush heroically captured Khalid Sheik Muhammad with his bullhorn's sonic stun attack in order to get information out of him in the Justice Chair Of Truth, with the assist from Starry The Talking Bald Eagle and Friendly Robot Dick Cheney. Then once Dubya and Robot Cheney knew where Bin Laden was, they busted in with their Awesome Team Six buddies and Bush knocked out Bin Laden with DUBYA PUNCH(tm). That whole invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq? Eh, somebody else was responsible for that, I'm sure. Probably that black guy.
What, Mike Huckabee has a cartoon time machine, how are you going to beat that with your slimy liberal facts.
