That was the disclaimer. The show was toeing a very fine line. The fact that there WAS complaining is good, as it let most people watch it with a critical eye.
The guy has no right to complain. He made a movie that entered into the realm of politics, and put some quesionable facts into it. And questionable they are. Many historians, politicians, and experts question the factuality of those few lines...that is enough to deem them 'questionable', don't you think?
EDIT: Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I did not mean that he does not have a legal right... Simply that he should have expected it.
I think there are Republicans and Democrats that are pathetic. Neither owns a monopoly on that.
It was one thing to complain but Democrats in the Senate wrote letters to Disney that were an indirect threat that their use of airwaves to broadcast was at jeopardy in an attempt to prevent this from airing. That goes beyond complaining. Further, sending death threats is a serious matter and this too goes beyond complaining. If Clinton, et. al. merely complained and put their versions of the facts out there that would be one thing, but IMHO I think they went overboard and crossed the line from complaining to intimidation.
