The link above goes to the ABC website showing the tape obtained by Time magazine this week showing a terrorist bombing, killing three US soldiers, under the heading, "Terror Tape". As an aside, guess who is on the cover of Time this week. Yep the rotund America hater, michael moore, who said that he had cameramen in Iraq. Also of interest. Michael Moore’s Middle East Distributors: We Won’t Reject Help From Hezbollah

The working title for this piece is “Michael Moore Is A Large Bloated Moron and Other Observations.” Since newspapers routinely change the author’s original headline, it was necessary to work that in so that you, Dear Reader, will perfectly understand where this piece is going. First, you will notice that the title is similar to that of a book written by a “comic” and now talk show host named Al Franken. We thought it would be all right to lift Mr. Franken’s title since he’s a political soul mate of Moore’s and since Mr. Moore lifted the title of his...

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" has been called many things: incendiary, thought-provoking, satirical, propaganda. But is it true? That's a question millions of viewers are asking as the film enters its second week of distribution. This weekend, the number of screens showing the film doubled, from 868 to 1,725. More than 6 million people had seen the film by Wednesday, and millions more will watch it in the next few days. Political commentators already have weighed in. Detractors of President Bush have praised the film for its scathing view of the way he's handled the war...

 BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Sizzling in the acclaim for Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore has accepted an invitation to direct the sixth Harry Potter film, reported CRIENGLISH.com.     Author JK Rowling has announced the title of her sixth novel in the fantasy series.     Moore, who won an Oscar in 2003 for Bowling for Columbine, will weave his own magic on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.     It is already being predicted to sweep the boards at the Academy Awards in 2006.

Liberals seem to be commenting on this book without reading it!

<p>I brought a notebook with me when I went to see Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" and in the dark made notes before I gave up, defeated by the utter stupidity of the movie. One of my notes says "John Ellis," who is a cousin of George W. Bush and the fellow who called the election for Fox News that dark and infamous night when the presidency -- or so the myth goes -- was stolen from Al Gore, delivering the nation to Halliburton, the Carlyle Group and Saudi Arabia, and plunging it into war. A better synopsis of the movie you're not likely to read.</p>

local6.com Clarke Calls Iraq War 'Enormous Mistake' POSTED: 10:12 PM EDT June 26, 2004 UPDATED: 10:25 PM EDT June 26, 2004 ORLANDO, Fla. -- The invasion of Iraq was an "enormous mistake," costing untold lives, strengthening al-Qaida and breeding a new generation of terrorists, former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said Saturday. "We did exactly what al Qaida said we would do -- invade and occupy an oil-rich Arab country that wasn't threatening us in any way," Clarke said before giving the keynote address at the American Library Association's annual convention in Orlando. "The hatred that has been engendered...

No one who reads FR closely will have missed the huge controversy over possible ties between Hezbollah and an Arabian distributor of Fahrenheit 9/11. But just to recap: Meanwhile, in the United Arab Emirates, the film is being offered the kind of support it doesn't need. According to Screen International, the UAE-based distributor Front Row Entertainment has been contacted by organisations related to the Hezbollah in Lebanon with offers of help. OK, so that's not news. But I was still surprised by this response from the distributor: First, in the original ScreenDaily Report of the connection, Front Row Entertainment said...

NEW YORK - Former mayor of New York City, Democrat Ed Koch broke rank with John Kerry on the War On Terror, and says that Michael Moore must be "shamed" by responsible citizens for his outrageous and over the top assertions and unsubstantiated claims in his new film. Writing today the dem and former Mayor said, "Senator John Kerry in criticizing United States'; foreign policy and the incumbent president is acting responsibly, albeit I disagree with many of his views. On the other hand, Michael Moore, writer and director of the film "Fahrenheit 9/11"; crosses that line regularly. The line...

One Man, Two Registrations Michael Moore simultaneously on voter rolls in New York, Michigan JUNE 28--Prior to last week's Washington, D.C. premiere of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore denied that the new film represents his de facto endorsement of John Kerry. "I am an Independent," the filmmaker told reporters. "I'm not a member of the Democratic party." Which is not exactly correct. New York City Board of Elections records show that Moore, 50, registered to vote in Gotham in 1992, checking off "Democratic" as his party affiliation (below you'll find a copy of his original registration form). He listed his address...

THANKS to the 9/11 commission, we now know that the movie got the story right. The administration was repeatedly warned in advance that disaster could strike America. The planning for that contingency was nonexistent. Once hell broke loose, there was only chaos at the top. As New York collapsed into terror, the amiable but overmatched president turned in desperation to his older, arrogant vice president and asked, "What do you think we should do?" The movie I describe is not "Fahrenheit 9/11" but a Hollywood special-effects extravaganza that beat it to the theaters by a month: Roland Emmerich's "The Day...

'Moore is shameless in feeding his own ego' Observer film writer Mark Kermode on the controversial filmmaker behind Fahrenheit 9/11 Sunday June 27, 2004 The Observer The most annoying sound at this year's Cannes Film Festival was the incessant drone of Michael Moore telling everyone in town that he had been silenced. If only. For almost two weeks you couldn't turn on a TV without hearing Moore spouting off about how Disney was censoring him by refusing to distribute Fahrenheit 9/11. Of course, it was all nonsense. Despite the fact that Moore had apparently long known about the 'Disney issue',...

John Kerry supporters at the Farenheit 9/11 premiere did a little "brownshirting" this weekend. According to police reports, a man who had seen the film said to some of the MoveOn.org protestors who were passing out flyers after the film, that he thought Kerry and Bush were about the same. In the man's mind one was not better than the other. His treatment for making such a horrendous claim? He was spat on, threatened, and assaulted...

Movie Goer Assaulted at Fahrenheit 9/11 Showing (Jun. 25) -- The highly anticipated film, Fahrenheit 9/11, came with more than just controversy at one Las Vegas movie theatre. Moviegoer, Richard Streeter, was one of the many who made his way to a theatre to see what the hype was about. After viewing the film, he was greeted outside the theatre by members of the Las Vegas MoveOn.org. The group was handing out leaflets on the importance of the film. Streeter voiced his view on the movie, "I made the comment, apples and oranges -- Kerry, Bush -- one's no better...

CONSIDERING THAT I'm writing this from inside the bunker of what many regard as the Alliance of Neocon Warmongers, it bears mentioning that Michael Moore and I have one surprising trait in common: We both believe that the war in Iraq was ill-advised, ill-planned, and ill-executed, an apparent failure bordering on unmitigated disaster, that was never in our best national interest. Around our office over the last two years, I've made these arguments to colleagues, open-minded types who, after they put me through my water-boarding/naked pyramid sessions, say they'll take it under advisement. And I make the disclosure now so...

A reader writes: "In your articles discussing Michael Moore's film 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' you call it a documentary. I always thought of documentaries as presenting facts objectively without editorializing. While I have enjoyed many of Mr. Moore's films, I don't think they fit the definition of a documentary." That's where you're wrong. Most documentaries, especially the best ones, have an opinion and argue for it. Even those that pretend to be objective reflect the filmmaker's point of view. Moviegoers should observe the bias, take it into account and decide if the film supports it or not. Michael Moore is a liberal...

Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 may have scored the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, but there's one person who isn't too thrilled with the picture: celebrated sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury, whose 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 gave Moore the inspiration for his title in the first place. "No. 1, he didn't ask (permission), and, No. 2, he took it -- period," Bradbury tells PEOPLE. " Even if he did ask, what he has done is a crime." Speaking from his Los Angeles home Wednesday, the 83-year-old author said he never would have allowed Moore to use the name,...
