(SACRAMENTO/SAN DIEGO/SAN FRANCISCO) –The terrorist group Hezbollah has reached out to distributors of Michael Moore’s anti-military propaganda flick, “Fahrenheit 9/11” with an offer to help promote the film.
The report of Hezbollah’s involvement came in Thursday’s London newspaper, The Guardian, with the headline, “Fahrenheit 9/11 gets help offer from Hezbollah.” Hezbollah’s endorsement underscores the argument made by Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org) that Moore’s movie is designed to undermine support for the war on terrorism.
Earlier this week, Move America Forward Vice Chair Melanie Morgan (radio talk show host on San Francisco’s KSFO AM 560), had declared: “It would be more appropriate to have this propaganda shown at Al Qaeda training camps rather than American movie theaters.” Morgan’s statement was met by howls of protest from Moore’s associates.
Move America Forward Chairman, Howard Kaloogian, today offered an apology in regards to Morgan’s comment:
“I regret that we limited our comments solely to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda and failed to mention that other terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, would also rally behind this film.
“Fahrenheit 9/11 serves one purpose and one purpose only: to undermine the United States' war against terrorism. This is precisely why Move America Forward has asked Americans to register their dissatisfaction with movie theaters that choose to show this film.
“Now is the time for Americans to stand united behind the men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to preserve our safety and national security, not promote the agenda of radical terrorist organizations like Hezbollah,” Kaloogian concluded.
Hezbollah is a Middle East based terrorist organization, which according to the U.S. State Department has killed more than 300 American citizens in terrorist attacks. The group is blamed for the October 23, 1983 attack on a U.S. marine barracks in Lebanon. Move America Forward Vice Chair, Melanie Morgan, covered the horrific attacks as a young radio reporter. Deaths of those marines deeply impacted her and underscored her commitment to fighting terrorism.

NOTE: You can also read some of the documented factually misleading elements of "Fahrenheit 9/11" at the end of this World Net Daily article:
World Net Daily: Theaters Wary of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11
"We will tell movie theatre owners around the world: If you do not show this movie, glorious martyrs will blow themselves up in your establishments..."
When I read the sentence about Kaloogian's apology, I about flipped my lid...
...until I read the apology itself.
Bravo.
LOL. This has got to get out. Especially to the Jewish 'Rat voters...
What a sterling endorsement that is, too. I wonder if he is proud of it.
If Hzbla is in, I'm out. Nothing more need be said.
I don't think Karl Rove could have dreamed this one up any better. Thanks, Hezbollah.
well it seems that Moore is in very good company. Maybe as a trade off for the endorsement he can make a movie about Israel to hel out Hezbollah. (just a thought)
"TWO THUMBS UP" - Hezbollah
“Fahrenheit 9/11 serves one purpose and one purpose only: to undermine the United States' war against terrorism"...
Michael Moore and most every liberal has this as his goal. They are just as dangerous as any sleeper cell that Osama has in this country.
Fahrenheit 911 = Centigrade -273.16 (in other words, it is an absolute zero).
Ddi you know that the lawyer for one of the Bali Bombers invoked Michael Moore's book in defense? This is the only mention I could find:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/11/1060588323997.html?oneclick=true
"...His lawyer, Qaidar Faisal, later delivered an official defence submission. It argued about the real meaning of the jihad struggle, how Afghanistan under Taliban rile had been a pure nation, as its laws had been crafted by God and not humans.
Mr Faisal also quoted from American satirist Michael Moore's book Stupid White Men and other anti-western texts..."
No offense to our Jewish friends, but from what I have read, this still won't disuade many of them from their death-spiral grip on Liberal ideology -- whose spokes-hole is currently Michael Moore.
True, but progress is being made, e.g. Cheney's speech to the one large Jewish group in Florida and the 'Rats complaints thereafter...
No, I didn't know that. Obviously the mainstream media will protect Michael Moore by not reporting such damning and indisputable facts. Of course, they will also ignore the indisputable fact that Hezbollah has endorsed Moore's piece of crap "documentary".
Okay, risk.
It's been a long day for me so maybe you'd better explain the link to Howard for Senate???
I supported him and voted for him but he did lose...
As far as Moore's pic is concerned maybe he should premire the opening in Syria or Iran...he'll certainly get a better turnout than here in the USA!
premire=premiere
'“I regret that we limited our comments solely to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda and failed to mention that other terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, would also rally behind this film.'
THIS is the kind of apology Bush made to the Saudis and Egyptians and other rags when he was supposed to apologize for us 'terrorizing' their citizens in AbuGrabUrButt that had gone to blow up things in Iraq...
