Well, I question these numbers. He is a documented liar

No doubt, he got a billion $'s worth of free advertising by the media.

And still can only come up with an estimated 22 mil in his favored areas. It will die by Monday, and Bush will still be ahead or tied in the liberal media polls.

There should be some mighty big hangovers by Tuesady after their month long binge of hype.

Who in the Media is refute this trash? The only thing I have seen in the Damn Liberal Media is that SOME of Moore's points or over the to or exaggerated? There is noting that I have seen in the popular media that proves that every single point the film makes is pure unadulterated BS!

Even the trailer I have seen on TV looks to be manipulated footage of the President making a statement to the media about the terrorists and then they cut to Bush playing Golf! This clip is not just taken out of contest but also lack continuity most likely shot on two different days.

Don't worry - this piece of crap will dissapear once the hard core lib traitors with their free tickets given out by Soros see it. Trust me, it will gone, kaput, nada.
Once the President gets pass this attempt to smear him, his support will rebound with voters who KNOW what a blatant political hit it was. 4 MORE YEARS!!

If you'd told Moore or anyone involved with the film 6 months ago that it would open #1 or make $22 million on the first weekend, they'd all be orgasmic.

Over time the box office will decline and it will plummet massively next weekend, obviously and people will gleefully report that. But from an industry standpoint it's an astonishing financial success already

Don't know about that because it seems that the theaters were selectively picked in michael moore, rabid hating Bush locations.

The libs will go and pronounce it a masterpiece and will vote as they always have. The curious will go and will see it as a hate piece and vote for Bush. The uninformed will go and believe at least some of it, but then not vote in November because they can't see much difference between the Bush and Kerry. The FEC will see it and ban it on July 30 as a violation of McCain/Feingold.

Lisa Myers, on MSNBC and NBC, ABC and even CBS had a story about the things that aren't true; practically every single talking head on all the cables are saying it's out and out lies, except, of course, the truly demented psychopaths.

And the clip of Bush playing golf IS accurate; he should have known better.

Charles, relax. There's no way anybody but liberals are going to be swayed by this movie in the long run (in time for the election). Moore's timing is stupid not smart, as the film will be thoroughly debunked and then forgotten by the election.

They knew what they were doing.

But I agree, moore is orgasmic, using the DU'ers as his own personal Monica, with them slurping up his propagandistic seamen.

OMG, you don't think Moore didn't manipulate this? Right down to never telling anybody that a year ago Disney said it wasn't going to distribute it?

Goodness gracious, this has ALL been orchestrated. They KNEW it would open big -- and it will die big, too.

Fandango (online movie ticket seller) reported large numbers of block-purchases. This means that groups bought out whole sections of theaters, not individual ticket purchases. Also, I read that moveon.org had enlisted over 100,000 of its members to pledge to see it opening weekend. And I'm sure that many of the faithful went to see it two and three times to inflate the numbers.

Yep, the movie made money, but there's no reason to think it's popular with anyone who isn't already a loony.

Believe me... we want Michael Moore to be the face of the Democratic Party. The more publicity he gets the better. This film will fall like a rock in the next week. All of the committed Kool-Aid drinkers rushed to theaters this weekend.

What does it say about the Democrats when they have a candidate that nobody wants, their best hope for a VP is a Republican, and all of their press is about a past pompous lying blowhard (Clintoon) or present pompous lying blowhards (Gore and Moore)? Right now, the Democrats have only a limited cause for celebration: Moore's weekend box-office (or maybe Nader getting shut-out by the Greens).

I am Ready to not only protest at move theaters but blockade the theaters if need be.

No right-thinking person could take Moore seriously. But blockading theaters is not the answer. Next I suppose you'll be wanting to burn his books and any shops that carry them. What circumstances, by the way, would result in the "if need be" part of your tactics?

Even idiots have a right to see whatever they want in the theater. Isn't that what we're trying to defend here??

I'd bet Soros' minions are buying tickets to this movie by the thousands and handing them out to all takers.

I posted this on an earlier thread but want to post it again because you guys have to go see these nuts. It is so unreal the way these "people" are reacting to this tripe.

"I was told my comments were a great joy to DUers on an earlier thread where I said these big skin head types were crying and screaming that were around me so I didn't yell out BS like I wanted to. But I stick by what I said whatever these guys were, biker fags or whatever they were big and nuts and screaming and crying. I swear you guys, go see it just to watch the crowd you have no idea what we are sealing with in this country. I've never seen people act like such animals. If you saw the movie 28 Days Later you have some idea and I'll say again, these leftist fanatics are a greater threat to our country from the inside than the communist in the 50's were by far. I have never seen so many people so worked up in public in my entire life. Tears streaming down their faces, pumping their fist at the screen yelling curse words anytime someone from the Bush admin appeared on screen. Unreal. You guys have to see it to believe it."
