Michael Moore’s Middle East Distributors:
We Won’t Reject Help From Hezbollah
Moore Also Says in T.V. Interview He’s Meeting Resistance From U.S. Theater Companies
The movie industry publication Screen Daily reports:
“In terms of marketing the film, Front Row is getting a boost from organizations related to Hezbollah which have rung up from Lebanon to ask if there’s anything they can do to support the film.
Front Row managing director, Gianluca Chacra is then quoted in the Screen Daily story as saying:
“We can’t go against these organizations as they could strongly boycott the film in Lebanon and Syria.”
Move America Forward Vice Chair, Melanie Morgan said in response, “Michael Moore dismisses Americans who are upset with his film and the impact it has in undermining support for the war against terrorism. At the same time, his distribution companies are concerned about offending the sensibilities of terrorists. That certainly gives rise to asking the question: whose side are you on?”
Separately, in an interview with the Canadian television network, CHUM TV, Moore said that he is finding resistance from American movie theater chains as he tries to secure commitments to screen “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Moore says at least three national/regional chains won’t carry the film and others are expressing reservations.
An audio clip of Mr. Moore’s comments related to the resistance he is meeting from U.S. theater operators can be found on the Move America Forward website at:
As always, Moore will be happy to take anybody's money.
We couldn't write this stuff if we tried.

Melanie's husband might not appreciate me giving her the kiss though :)
Indeed!
I wonder if Hamas is going to feel left out of the distribution biz and want a piece of the action too?
Do you think we could trade MM for the Korean???
Why am I not surprised with a liberal extremeist like Michael Moore? What a psychotic Anti-American! He's also a fat slob!
As his first official act, President Kerry will appoint Michael Moore to lead the peace negotiations with al-Qaeda.
So we now see Michael Moore and the Kerry's joining forces to form the Hezbollah wing of the Dem Party. (See threads about Heinz-Kerry and her charitable organizations for further reference.) How do these people continue to enjoy suport in the Jewish community?
I was wondering if Hezbollah is trying to be for the Democrat Party what Red China was in the 1992 elections?
This should be posted in every synagogue in America.
LOL. Michael Hezbollah Moore!
DESPICABLE !! But, you'll never see or hear this on SeeBS or any of the other major media outlets; probably not even Fox.
Do you think we could trade MM for the Korean???
Nope.
Muslims won't touch pork, you know.
Someone should advise michael moore to take a good look at the US highway systems.
America moves forward on the Right
Scary thought.
That got some play around the nation. Greatest impact though in terms of "reach" of an audience would have been that Rush Limbaugh picked up the first part of this story (the offer of assistance by Hezbollah) on Friday. I wish he wasn't on vacation this week... he could help spread the word that Moore's distributors said 'yes! how can we turn them down?'
"We Won’t Reject Help From Hezbollah..."
Hey - can you help me understand what you just wrote. I've read it three times and I get lost in the middle of that first sentence.
