Chef who witnessed 9/11 writes great column on Moore film
HeraldTribune.com ^

Posted on 06/30/2004 8:45:27 AM PDT by curtking

Michael Niewodowski was a chef at Windows on the World in the World Trade Center until September 11, 2001. He has written a guest column for the Herald-Tribune in Florida about Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11". Here's an excerpt:

So, how do we explain Moore's film to future generations? I wonder. More than that, I wonder how I would explain this film to Nancy D., Jerome N. or Heather H. I am sure you don't know their names, but their faces haunt me day and night. How would I explain to them that a film was made accusing the president and vilifying the soldiers, the same president and soldiers who are attempting to avenge their murders and protect other citizens. Moore has not only insulted the nation, he has insulted the victims of the terrorist attacks.

During his acceptance speech at the Oscars, Moore said, "Shame on you, Mr. Bush." Well, I say, "Shame on you, Michael Moore." Shame on everyone who supports this travesty of a film. Shame on a society that allows this sham of a film. You have weakened the nation.

Here's a link to the rest of the column.

Mr. Niewodowski's e-mail link is at the bottom of the article. I suspect he'll be bombarded with nasty, vile DU e-mails, so an e-mail of support might be in order.

A salute to a good man, standing up against bad actions.

I wrote him as well. He deserves to know how those with sane minds feel about S'moores so called "film".

Great piece of writing on his part.

Cheers!

I sent him an e-mail, too. I hope more people speak out.

I've copied the column and plan to email to friends and family. Hope he gets many, many notes of support!

A bump for all the people who died in the World Trade Center on 9-11.

Michael Moore's story will not stand the test of time.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" is indicative of a nation that has become too apathetic, ignorant or deceived to face the enemy at the gate. America, where is your fury?

ABC linked to this article today in its "The Note" column, which is read by hundreds of political reporters and political junkies around the world. So it is being read widely. But we need to spread it further. A reading by Sean Hannity would be especially great, as he broadcasts out of New York. Let's challenge the New York Times to run this piece by a New Yorker!
