These films really aren't anti-Bush propaganda. If you saw them, there wouldn't even be a question of that. If anything, Unprecedented might be anti-Jeb Bush, anti-Katherine Harris, and anti-all-election-officials-in-Florida and anti-Republican-political-operatives. But the film clearly has footage of a protest that shut down a ballot counting center in Miami, and almost a dozen of the people in the crowd were identified as senior aides to Republican officials. It also has footage of illegally counted absentee ballots from military servicemen who voted *after* the election as shown by their postmarks. Katherine Harris was responsible for Florida elections *and* was part of the Bush campaign. Can you say "conflict of interest"???
You really can't say that there's a lot of spin in these documentaries. Unconstitutional may play on emotions a bit, but that film has footage of things like police dressing in plain clothes and wandering through crowds pepper spraying peace protesters six inches from their face, and footage from C-Span and interviews with Republican politicians saying how insane the PATRIOT act is.
