So, after viewing this, who comes off looking like the bigger ass: Bush or Moore? Is this simply Moore preaching to the choir or will he sway votes?

[DoughtyOne]

Moore will never see a dime of my money. And I won't waste my time seeing this trash. Sounds fair to me.

[Izzy Dunne]

Bush spent 42% of the time before September 11th on vacation

Does anyone with any credibility claim this, or is it just Moore and his ilk?

[nothingnew]

So did the author give moore a BJ before or after the late night snack?

and the picture highlights the intelligence reports regarding Al Qaeda that Bush and his administration simply ignored during this time off.

Gee, did the "intelligence" ignore it too?

Moore does not argue that the Bush administration knew about or caused the attacks on the World Trade Center, but when viewed in this fashion the President himself appears guilty of gross, intolerable negligence. That was our first jaw-dropping moment.

The title of the movie includes "9/11." Does Moore then explain why 9/11 happened? Investigate Osama and his ideology, his pronouncements? Doubt it...

Sounds like lefty catharsis over the Iraq war.

The slower bits suffered mainly because Moore the porcine POS tried to pack in colossal amounts of evidence of Bush administration deception. 20 triple cheeseburgers, 20 supersize fries, and 20 jumbo chocolate milkshakes.

Moore will never see a dime of my money


Moore doesn't work for money, He got one of those, "All You Can Eat!" deals going on.

[RandallFlagg]

Aw GREAT! Now I'm hungry again!

[DoughtyOne]

Looks like the got the best of that deal.

[dandi]

The sad part is, a lot of the people who watch this trash will believe it's true. "Because, like, man, it won that award so it, like, HAS to be true. Right?" With enough creative editing you could make Billy Graham look like the antichrist.

[Army Air Corps]

Let's see how quickly this bucket of tripe makes its way to the $0.99 reack at the video store...

[Casloy]

He preaches to his own naive choir. After all the money and time he has spent trying to prove what a bad president Bush is, it will be a lot of fun to see Bush win re-election.

Bowling for Columbine didn't cause any upsurge in demands for gun control laws, and there is no reason to believe this bit of agitprop will have any greater impact.

[Argus]

The culture of modern warfare and the personality of the American military does not appear to have changed much since Vietnam, and much of the footage bears a striking resemblance to scenes from Apocalypse Now.

What an utter fool this writer is.

[Dane]

Let's see how quickly this bucket of tripe makes its way to the $0.99 reack at the video store...

And they should the proper name of this drivel on the sleeve, "Fartinghigh 9/11".

[antiRepublicrat]

The only interesting revelation to be heard was that Moore had been surprised to hear Ray Bradbury’s comments about the title of the film and that he intended to call the author on Wednesday.

Ray Bradbury says he was told Moore would call him back that day when he called to complain several months ago and that Moore's been avoiding him.

[Monty22]

I love how they act like Kmart stopping selling ammo saved anyone or helped do anything besides helping Kmart go broke.

Unfortunately, it will probably make a tremendous amount of money. When any group of people rise up and protest or complain about a movie, it stirs up enough interest that those not with any group, but those with the money–high school and college kids between 16-25--will rush out and see it just because it has been labeled "controversial."

Look at the "Last Temptation of Christ." I was in college when that came out, and a older lady in the office on campus where I was working tried to get me to sign a petition against it. I refused on the grounds of censorship.

So I went and saw it. It was too long, and tricky to follow in spots, and I didn't think it was that good. But everyone went to see it just because Falwell and his group were protesting it. If Falwell had kept silent and said nothing, it probably wouldn't have survived more than a week or two before dying at the box office. All the attention drew a crowd and the movie was a modest financial success.

The same thing is going to happen here, and what's more, Michael Moore not only knows it, he's counting on it.

[dagoofyfoot]

Looks like he got the best of that deal


Yeah it looks good on him...


NOT!

[DoughtyOne]

True.
