Press Releases
Moore Claims to not be Involved in "Other People's Documentaries"
MINNEAPOLIS, MN---September 27, 2003---Filmmaker Michael Moore appeared on MSNBC's Buchanan and Press earlier this month and indicated that he would not appear in any documentary other than his own, when he was pushed by hosts to be interviewed for "Michael Moore Hates America" a film now in production. The problem? Moore has and continues to participate in interviews for documentaries that promote his political agenda.
Michael Wilson, director of the upcoming "Michael Moore Hates America" quickly pointed out the error to the internet community, via his website. "Moore has appeared not only in feature films like "Lucky Numbers" opposite Lisa Kudrow and John Travolta, but a quick search of the Internet Movie Database, shows that Moore has given interviews for documentaries such as "Last Party," "Fever Pitch," and most recently, "The Corporation" which equates American corporations with the personalities of psychopaths." "The Corporation" premiered at this year's Toronto Film Festival.
Moore flip-flopped during the interview, leaving his answer as to whether he would grant Wilson an interview ambiguous. "Well, you're interviewing me," Moore said during the appearance. "So I guess I'll talk to anyone."
Wilson has stated publicly that he is merely interested in getting to the bottom of Moore's thought process. "I'm really just interested in the conversation, you know. Why does Mike take liberties in editing, statistics and arguments on things that are instantly verifiable. If it's because he believes so strongly in his political philosophy, I think his audience needs to hear that. Our film really deals with the whole genre of documentary, and how it, more than any other genre can be used to manipulate, if the filmmaker's level of integrity allows that."
"Michael Moore Hates America" is on schedule for release in the summer of 2004... around the same time Moore's next film "Fahreneit 9/11" hits theaters.

You people are exactly what's wrong with this country. In case you've forgotten one of our basic rights as people is FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Now that someone doesn't say something that fits into your opinion you want to shut him out. I've read most of Michael Moore's work and the fact is, is that he is an American and has a right to his own opinion. You don't like it Fine then say that but you can't use your hatred of his ideas and opinions as a front for American Patriotism. If this is the kind of people that pollute our country no wonder everyone thinks of us in such poor standards. You think the Russians we're the sheep for following Stalin, well guess what everything that Bush seems to say doesn't meet an offensive; at least the amount that it needs. We seem to be baaaing along with the best of them because we don't seem to question anything anymore. And if you do your labled as unAmerican, unpatriotic, or even worse treasonous if you have opinions of your own. So ladies and gentlemen this is my opinion: you people that seem to want to shut everyone up are the ones that are UN-PATRIOTIC AND UN-AMERICAN not me and certainly not Michael Moore.

BWUHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
...its a pretty easy process to understand. Go to DemocraticUnderground.com and just post one thing like "Bush rules" and see how long you last there too.

I hope you recognize that the right to freedom of speech applies to us just as much as it does to you and that hate-filled, slobbering, obese joke of a human being Michael Moore.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is absolutely true, and no one on this board would question that for a second.
That having been said, there are two caveats to this statement.
First: All opinions are not equal. My opinion on heart surgery or supersonic jet aircraft design, for instance, are of no value whatsoever. Treating them as pertinent or useful is a waste of time.
An uninformed opinion is wasted breath. Don't be surprised or offended if no one takes your ignorant bleating seriously.
Second: Some opinions are anti-American or unpatriotic, even if they are held by people who claim to be patriotic Americans. Michael Moore says many things that are openly anti-American, and then cries foul when he gets called on it, as if by stating an opinion, no one can criticize it. If you're going to express an opinion, be prepared for other people to express back. The First Amendment works both ways.

In case you've forgotten one of our basic rights as people is FREEDOM OF SPEECH. That's right and no, no one forgot.
Now that someone doesn't say something that fits into your opinion you want to shut him out.
Yes, that's called using our economic power. If I don't like something then I don't have to purchase it or watch it, listen to it, etc.
The libs are all for protests and shutting down "the man" except when it's thier man.

So, I guess we can assume that you made the same argument with respect to Dr. Laura and all of the other conservative speakers in the public forum?

Moore certainly has a right to speak up. This thread is about his hypocracy, for my money. This is a guy who shows up in people's offices without appointments, who sticks cameras in unsuspecting people's faces and he won't appear in anyone else's documentary. LOL! Bask in the hypocracy.
Also, we can easilly point out his use of lies and propaganda, since we also have a right to free speech.

BWHAHAHAHA
People choosing to speak with their pocket books is not a abridgment of the 1st Amendment.
Nobody is asking that Moore be incarcerated or have the Government somehow shut him down.
The fact that you want us to shut up and listen to insanity, never to make our points known by PROTESTING Moore make you Un American.
You have a FREEDOM TO SPEECH -NOT- A FREEDOM TO BE HEARD.
