Mr. Moore,

After reading your letter, I have once again underestimated the level of stupidity and self promotion that liberals can reach.

You seem to think that freedom of speech is absolute, but the right to private property is not. People in this country have the right to own property, whether you like it or not. Just as I can't come into one of your multi-million dollar homes and espouse my politics, a singer can't go into a casino and do that. When you own something, as I'm sure you do, being a millionaire many times over, you can do with it what you please. Believe it or not, people have the right not to use private property as a public speaking forum.

Why I'm sure you would like to go back to the days of feudalism (Lord Moore does have a nice ring to it) most people like being in control of their lives and property. Perhaps some day your dream will come true where you have silenced all who oppose you and all the media spews your rhetoric, but until then people like me, and the Aladdin Casino, will be watching.

PS, respond on this forum and I'd be happy to debate you about this.

"I work in America. I have freedom of speech. But when I'm sitting at my desk on my employer's property to earn a check from my employer, I don't always blurt out everything that comes in to my head. Call me crazy..."

One of my greatest fears is that I WILL lose it and start saying what I think at work, I am considered rather outspoken as it is but few could imagine what I would say if I really let loose. I would probably have a job for as long as it took to process me out and I would be escorted to the gate by a security guard.

Even six months dead, Leni Riefenstahl can direct rings around Michael Moore. They'd be rings the size of Saturn's, of course.

I'm actually thinking of picking up both those films and doing a point-by-point comparison.

Existential question of the day:

If Michael Moore is alone in the woods and expresses his opinion, is he still lying?

I wonder how many of the Jews who are flocking to his movie know how anti-Israel he is??

I certainly am spreading the word far and wide.

I mentioned this last night to an educated Jewish guy who urged me to see the film. Got no reaction

The Fat Lady has sung. And now the Fat Boy has chimed in.

Guess they don't understand the part of making someone else pay for them to "exercise their First Amendment" rights?

Oh silly me, I didn't even know that the Bush Administration had used government forces to censor her!

And in the United States, we have something called "The First Amendment." This constitutional right gives everyone here the right to say whatever they want to say.

Amendment 1 -- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech on the stage of the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What do you know! I guess old Mike's right for once. Touche'.

For crying out loud, it was a song DEDICATION! To "Desperado!" Every American loves that song! Sure, some people didn't like the dedication, and that's their right. But neither they nor you have the right to remove her from your building when all she did was exercise her AMERICAN right to speak her mind.

Ok, a few things, Mr. Moore:

1. Not EVERY American loves that song. I hate it - almost as much as I hate you, but not quite.

2. They had every right to throw her fat ass out - Your Constitutional Rights end at my property line. The First Amendment only restricts GOVERNMENT from stifling speech, not private citizens or businesses.

In closing, take a friggin' refresher civics class, and enjoy a nice steaming cup of shut the hell up.

Plus, the Press is playing this out like the ONLY reason this happened was because of the Michael Moore reference. But that's not true. She said alot of other things, including disparaging the very hotel that was paying her. I hope Mr. Timmins sets the record straight, becuase even O'Reilly last night was saying it was over the top for the Aladdin to do this because of the reference to Moore and we know where most people get their news.

I have a business conference next spring in Las Vegas. I've already decided I'm staying at the Aladdin.

Funny how quick Moore is to whine when he gets a taste of his own medicine, isn't it?

I think you owe Ms. Ronstadt an apology. And I have an idea how you can make it up to her -- and to the millions of Americans you have offended. Invite her back and I'll join her in singing "America the Beautiful" on your stage. Then I will show "Fahrenheit 9/11" free of charge to all your guests and anyone else in Las Vegas who wants to see it.

Tourists in Vegas are there to relax, drink, gamble, and be entertained. The last thing they want to hear is lectures and songs by Michael Moore!

Here's my dedication to Michael Moore:

Tub O' Lardo

Tub O' Lardo, Why don't you put down the donut
been filling up your gut, for so long now
Oh, you're a fat one
I know that you're always feeding'
and those things that you're eatin'
will hurt you somehow

Don't you eat that box of Ho-Hos, Mike
Push away from the table
You know that your heart can't take the stress

Seems you could use some exercise
but you just don't seem able
Can't you at least try a day of eating less?

Tub O' Lardo, your belt size is "Equator"
Just a leftist agitator, spreading your lies
Like it was cream cheese, cream cheese, on a toasted bagel
And it makes you hungry, for a plate of french fries

Don't you know you could have a heart attack?
So think before you have that third Big Mac.
And brush those cookie crumbs off your face.
You could lose a hundred pounds or so,
but instead you choose to grow, every day...

Tub O' Lardo, when did you last see your feet?
How much can one man eat, when he's filled with hate?
I know you're hungry, but try some self-control...
put down the Swiss role, before it's too late...

I wrote the Aladdin, too.

"Good call on Linda Ronstadt. Thanks. I'll recommend you folks, and stay (with you) when there."

Thank-you Red Badger, this makes me crazy too. the government cannot impose restrictions on Free Speech. If the police or some other public authority had came in and took her off the stage, that would be a violation of Free Speech.
The average Joe sitting in the audience who boos, can say whatever they want whenever they want. that is their free speech right.
Why doesn't Moore and his ilk get this?
