Michael Moore & FAHRENHEIT 911

Michael Moore's Next Film.... FAHRENHEIT 911... Hey folks, Harry here... Michael Moore. KABOOM! Talkback Hell commences.... Heh. Well as a liberal in Austin, Texas, I just have to say I'm delighted to hear that after the overwhelming success of BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, a documentary that shattered all previous Box Office Records, won every major award it could possibly win... After completely stealing all the spotlight at the Oscars, and assuring that what he said would become THE topic to talk about at the water coolers and unemployment lines the next day... Well Michael Moore, the crazed fellow that wanders this planet daring to speak his mind (obviously he must be stopped) about all of the perceived injustices that he observes with the country he loves beyond all others... the United States of America. Michael Moore loves his country, but like a loved one that is addicted to alcohol and is doomed to having a liver explosion, Michael tries to talk sense into it. Some may feel it's nonsense, but they may in fact be wearing the "beer goggles" and don't want to take them off. I've been a huge fan of Michael's since ROGER & ME, I actually watched TV NATION (really wish it existed rather than the FOX NEWS network right now) and have enjoyed the hell out of everything he's done. That's why AICN covered the hell out of BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE as Michael was showing pieces of it at his speaking engagements, book signings and what not for months leading up to its debut at CANNES. Well, after a best selling book, the best documentary and loads of success... What do you think Michael Moore is up to now? Disneyland? I wouldn't bet on it... You see, he's got a new documentary he's got to get ready before the next Presidential Election... “I’m making a film called Fahrenheit 911, the temperature at which freedom burns. It’ll be about how Bush is using 9/11 and those 3,000 lost lives as an excuse to move along his own conservative agenda.” Excerpted from the DemocratAndChronicle.Com

Yup... FAHRENHEIT 911 - The Temperature At Which Freedom Burns. The documentary will be about the ties between the BUSH family and the BIN LADEN family... about the changes in America since 9-11... and I'm sure Michael is going to absolutely cause a fiery hail storm of denials and hate speech for making the movie. Personally I love that Michael Moore exists, as long as he does I know that freedom still has a champion here at home. For more on Moore's upcoming film FAHRENHEIT 911 Click Here!

I look forward to seeing Moore try to exploit 9/11 for his ends. Good luck.

Put simply, Ken Burns is a documentarian. Michael Moore is a propagandist.

Join us at http://www.PABAAH.com as we are organizing a nationwide effort to protest and boycott this vile film when it comes out next year. We are working on a petition, and building a network of people in all 50 states o help spearhead this effort. let's organize NOW!!

Some choice quotes by Mr. Moore, on America:



Michael Moore continues to have unkind words for his fellow countrymen. On his international book tour, the author of “Dude, Where’s My Country?” was asked what he thought of Americans. “They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet ... in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pricks,” he replied. “We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don’t know about anything that’s happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.” . . .

http://www.msnbc.com/news/970612.asp?0dm=L13XL



"I want him [George Bush] paraded in handcuffs outside a police house as a common criminal because I don't know if there's a greater crime than taking people to war based on a lie. ...I honestly believe they are putting their toe in the water to see if people will go for martial law. After 9/11 we had hundreds of Arab-Americans rounded up and put in prison with no charges. You know, there's an undercurrent of feeling that we may not even have an election next year. If there is another 9/11 a justification may be used to call it off and install martial law."

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/content_objectid=13583626_method=full_siteid=50143_headline=-THE%2DAWKWARD%2DCONSCIENCE%2DOF%2DA%2DNATION-name_page.html




Speaking about 9/11, "Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes' destination of California -- these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!"

Source: http://www.refuseandresist.org/normalcy/091401moore.html



"... You know he's [Bush] there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida."

"... we know all those facts about Florida and what Katherine Harris did, and the private firm that took African-Americans off the voting rolls and prohibited them from voting. But I've been surprised in this first week how many average Americans were not aware of all of the trickery and deceit that took place in the year before the election to fix it for George W. Bush."

His thoughts on the passengers on the hijacked planes:

"the passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men, he claimed, those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes."

Source: http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20030111-6357097.htm



To Bush, "The majority of Americans -- the ones who never elected you -- are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction."

Source: http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2003-03-17



"I agree with the National Rifle Association when they say, 'Guns don't kill people, people kill people.' Except I would alter that to say, 'Guns don't kill people, Americans kill people.' We're the only country that does this, and we do it on an personal level in our neighborhoods and within our families and our schools, and we do it on a global level. The American attitude is that we believe we have a right to just go in and bomb another country. This is where Bush is going right now, right?"

When asked about his inaccuracies in his book "Stupid White Men," he shrugged off the quesiton. "You know, look, this is a book of political humor. So, I mean, I don't respond to that sort of stuff, you know," he said.

Source: http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110003233



"You've got to have a lot of empathy for them because there's not many of them left. Their way of thinking? The angry white guy? Their days are numbered."

Source: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/117758_michaelmoore16.html



Moore claimed, during an interview on Costas' show, that the Bush administration "absolutely" knows where Osama bin Laden is located and doesn't go after him "because he's funded by their friends in Saudi Arabia!"

Source: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030512.asp#4




"You see, George, it's not the lying and the doctoring of intelligence that has me all upset. It's that you've had control of Iraq for over two months now -- and you couldn't even find the time to plant just a few nukes or vats of nerve gas and at least make it LOOK like you weren't lying to us."

"Your blatant refusal to back up your verbal deception with the kind of fake evidence we have become used to is a slap in our collective American face. It's as if you are saying, 'These Americans are so damn apathetic and lazy, we won't have to produce any weapons to back up our claims!' If you had just dug a few silo holes in the last month outside Tikrit, or spread some anthrax around those Winnebagos near Basra, or 'discovered' some plutonium with that stash of home movies of Uday Hussein feeding his tigers, then it would have said to us that you thought we might revolt if you were caught in a lie. It would have shown us some *respect*. We honestly wouldn't have cared if it later came out that you planted all the WMD -- sure, we'd be properly peeved, but at least we would have been proud to know that you knew you HAD to back up your phony claims with the real deal!"

"There is no terrorist threat in this country. This is a lie. This is the biggest lie we've been told."

It would seem that MM has no sense of irony.

It'll be about how Moore is using 9/11 and those 3,000 lost lives as an excuse to move along his own liberal agenda. [and fatten his wallet]

If you do this, then you can't complain about what they're doing to Mel Gibson.

I used to see him at premieres in Austin, TX. He seemed like a slob with a huge ego, reminds me of what it must be like to have Roger Ebert come to your theatre...

"Do you KNOW WHO I Am?"

I still can't figure out how he could defecate a movie like "Canadian Bacon". It's one of the few movies i'd like to forget that John Candy was in and that I ever watched the thing. You couldn't even make a movie that bad if you tried. News people rarely mention this movie when checking off Moore's resume.

For his ends what do you mean sir! I believe his ends are the same as yours and mine whether you are willing to admit that or not, we all want a happy healthy country. So remember we are all on the same side we just have different ways and ideas of how to get there! Michael Moore is an American too and the supposed great thing about America is that it's a place where you both have the right to be heard! Michael Moore is not the Devil he cares a great deal just as I am sure you do too.
