Protesting him feeds both his ego and his publicity machine.

OK, I understand your thought, but you are not correct.

Under the laws of the U.S. Moore gets away with a legal form of sedition as the courts recognize free speech but have limits if there is no way to provide a counter view.

If Moore speaks and no counter view is issued, then he truly gets away with treason.

It is not only our right to counter this, it is our responsibility. It is required, not just optional to do this.

I salute the guy who is doing this and pray he gets to as many people as Moore. This is how the cosmos remains in balance, as the liberal left has taken advantage of our freedoms to use them against us.

It's all a matter of opinion and style, really. An organized protest feeds into Moore's publicity machine, rather than undermines it.

I don't know your background in law to make that claim on sedition. In any case, that's a matter for the Justice Department to persue. What in the world does that have to do with protesters?

I never suggested that no counter view should be issued. Where did I say that. Indeed, this young man's film IS the counter view, and I support it 100%. What makes you think that protest is necessarily the best avenue to advance a counter view?

Talk of rights and responsibilities aside, what does that have to do with the wisdom of a protest? Again, we can and should arm ourselves with the facts

The media depicts conservatives as backward right wingers, zealots, censors, etc. it's not true, of course, but that's the depiction they go with. Way too many people buy into that.

Further, the media will seldom if ever characterize the left wingers as backwards, zealots, censors, etc. That's a fact - conservatives who ignore this fact of life feed into the system that undermines their credibility.

I never argued against the film criticising Moore. I never suggested we don't combat Moore's propoganda. I am saying that an organized protest of Moore's film feeds the publicity machine and the myth behind it, rather than undermines it.

We need to combat this another way. Our side really needs to wise up.
