The best way to stop Moore is to vote Republican.
All this movie will do is cause liberals to hate Bush more and Americans to be disgusted in liberals. Like Wellstone funeral this shows liberals in bad light.
Ignoring this is surrendering. Leave that to the French. I propose throwing one raw egg at the screen. Make it VERY expensive for theaters to show this stool sample.
---- Michael Moore and his stupid film. He won't convert many and he will offend the 'moderates', the mushy middle-of-the-road types who live a conservative life and for stupid reasons still vote 'rat.
He's cutting his own throat. I won't interfere.
Just ignore it. Don't see it and pay no attention to news on it. Consider it invisible. Attention is the LAST thing you want to pay to a ridiculous movie.
Just don't buy a ticket.
I think that we should not complain except as stockholder to companies that waste our money on this tripe.
This moron has a right to be a moron. He can film what he wishes. He can lie if he wishes. What he does with his and his friend's money is his business. We can not go to his film and he can lose that money to the more conservative business people who sell him equipment ect.
But if a public company distributes the film and loses money on it or if a publically traded bank lends him money and does not get repaid, then we should ask them by what right they continue to waste our money on their personal politics.
This is exactly what Moore wants, his trash film will do him in.
Who cares about this film. Any moron that is going to vote for Kerry based on seeing this film was a lost cause a long time ago.
Dont feed the hype, dont go to the film and boycott anything associated with it.
Please add a disclaimer to Michael Moore's film that the subject matter may not be documented in historical fact..which it is not, incidentally and still remains under the genre of a documentary film. This is only a theory by this one man, Mr. Moore, and those paid by him to manufacture this said propagandized film..; therefore this could unfortunately incite the uninformed to commit horrific acts which we could witness in the near future. Therefore, you could be held responsible as part of that outcome certainly morally and even perhaps even legally in some cases. The result would bring unpopular attention to your place of business. A disclaimer would indicate Moore's opinion, and it is just an opinion, is not necessarily that of this theater management. This disclaimer should be placed in a highly visible area where all might see. We all want free speech to remain a freedom many brave men and women have died for, perhaps members of your own families; but I would never yell out FIRE in your movie theater out of sheer common sense of the consequences. Please implement this action in all fairness to your theater patrons.
This may be a soft response but under the right of free speech granted to all of us; the more in question that the Moore films are suspect of being credible documentaries..the less viewing audience he might achieve, less notoriety and perhaps the less chance of violence toward notable figures in this country which we cannot dismiss is incited through films such as these. A documentary in the true sense of the word it is not.
The French deserve Michael Moore.
Moore appeared on the MTV Movie Awards, asking all the kids to go see his movie. He said there was lots of action sequences and a love scene in the Rose Garden. (This was supposed to be funny). He said that's why the guy in the White House doesn't want you to see it. I'm only worried about this movie if we, the opposition, gives it more importance than we should.
This is the response I recieved immediately from my email as written in Post #108..the others have been out of the office:
"Yes, we do intend to do just that.
And thank-you for one of the more intelligent and reasonable of the mass emails that all of the theaters have been receiving.
I know theater owners that were conservative Republicans until all of the carefully-orchestrated emails starting arriving!
It's all about "free-speech", and that is what our soldiers died for.

Subject: Moores film Disclaimer
Take away his publicity (i.e. telling everyone that it exists) and you take away his money.
Oh I think we should just let it ride, and laugh at it whenever anyone mentions it. Derision is what this steaming pile needs, not more attention from efforts to shut it down.
The best way to deal with Michael Moore and His CROCKumentary is to ignore him.
Another must ignore: Harry Thomass's "The Hunting of the President" How the VRWC tried to destroy Bill Clinton. To which I say.... nah, I'm too much of a lady to say that.
I saw Fatso's ad yesterday afternoon while at a local Cantina. I didn't hear it (sound turned down), but what drew my attention to it was when I heard a voice say, "There's a fat **** who should be harpooned and left for scavengers." Several people voiced agreement.
I think this is a scam to swindle $$$ out of well-meaning people. Two thumbs down.
