Wow. Very significant. I'll bet Terry McAuliffe is gonna choke on his Wheaties when he reads this one!

A pretty good article, BUT...one serious problem near the end;

I did questioning the stated reasons for invading Iraq -- weapons of mass destruction and Hussein's links to Osama bin Laden. This was stupid of me, but human nature nonetheless

Neither was the primary reason we went to war. Specifically, Hussein was in violation of the terms he agreed to, to end the first Gulf War - the vaunted UN resolutions he was breaking.

Breaking the terms of an earlier peace treaty is perhaps the oldest casus belli known to man.

Washington Post articles should be excerpted, right?

Actually the boxoffice success of Moore's film says good things about the economy, where so many clueless individuals have the disposable income to spend on such dreck.

The author needs to face the fact that Moore's screed is not only characteristic of the Left, but the epitome thereof. All the Left has done since the Clintons took control of the Democrat party has been along the same Marxist, big-lie, tantrum-throwing lines. All the no-WMD arguments are just as flimsy as Moore's fabrications.

I'll betcha McAwful is the one that sent out the DNC memo to the party faithful asking them to write columns excoriating Moore just as this one does.

The dems realized shortly after the release of the movie that Moore's blunderbuss blew up in their faces. Last weekend the DNC sent party leaders to all the talk shows trying to distance the party from the movie. Too late--we've got pictures and statements from them after they attended the preview last Thursday.

I've always said that Moore is a pure capitalist--he's out for himself and no one else. He could care less if Bush won or lost; all that matters is that he made his cash, to hell with the "cause". Will he make more money? Of course--his audience is no better than Manson's family. They'll follow him to the brink of Hell and thank him for the opportunity as he kicks their sorry asses over.

As for the dems: what's that saying? You lie with dogs expect to get fleas?

"I fear how it will play to the undecided."

So do I.

I was speaking with a man just today who saw the movie, and he said it moved him to dislike President Bush, and distrust Dick Cheney. When people see the 'documents' being flashed on the screen, supposedly to 'substantiate' the producer's allegations, it does tend to produce in the uneducated or uninformed mind a feeling of uncertainty or suspicion. This, I'm certain, was Mr. Moore's devious intention. And I do mean devious, because nobody knows better than Michael Moore that the political messages in this movie are based largely on deceptions, half-truths and lots of smoke and mirrors.

Moore's depiction of why Bush went to war is so silly and so incomprehensible that it is easily dismissed. As far as I can tell, it is a farrago of conspiracy theories. But nothing is said about multiple U.N. resolutions violated by Iraq or the depredations of Saddam Hussein. In fact, prewar Iraq is depicted as some sort of Arab folk festival -- lots of happy, smiling, indigenous people. Was there no footage of a Kurdish village that had been gassed? This is obscenity by omission.

Well, this guy wins my Stopped Clock Award, for a liberal that is right two minutes out of twenty-four hours.

...the stunning box-office success of "Fahrenheit 9/11" is not, as proclaimed, a sure sign that Bush is on his way out but is instead a warning to the Democrats to keep the loony left at a safe distance.

Too late. Way, way too late. But I will certainly credit Cohen for realizing that it really does matter what a monster Saddam was, and that it may matter more than the results of the next presidential election.

This movie is about to drop off the radar. I just saw Spiderman 2, and it'll blow the doors off of anything else playing right now. ESPECIALLY up against something as deeply screwball as F911.

Moore's had his 15 minutes of fame.

Moores fiction comedy did $22m. Gibson's factual documentary "Passion" did $81m first weekend. You decide which is a blockbuster.

Speaking just for myself, not only was I dismayed by how prosaic and boring the movie was -- nothing new and utterly predictable -- but I recoiled from Moore's methodology, if it can be called that.

bump!

Washington Post mitigates the damages somewhat by having an ad on the same page for an "Unprecedented Documentary: The 2000 presidential election stolen by Bush out on DVD". The left never sleeps.

Tony Snow said the other night on FNC that the golf scene was very misleading, that was when GW made a comment about pali terrorist not 9/11 as the puke face who made this trash alludes to.

I was stunned to hear Christopher Hitchen's comments last night on Scarborough.

Moore's "free ride" has come to an end.

beachn4fun, here is another article to blast anyone who thinks f 9/11 is factual. Copy and paste the article into an email, and send it to whoever thinks that "movie" is anything other than propaganda.
