James Dobson's Focus on the Family has apparently sent out an email giving its members Michael Moore's home address. I think this is a terrible move, simply on principle. There are other addresses to send Moore mail. Why legitimate this sort of thing?
But, I should add, Michael Moore has zero-point-zero grounds to complain. After all, he did set up a webcam aimed at my parents' bedroom during the Clinton troubles and promoted it in on television, in an effort to show the whole world where my mom lived and invade her privacy. (My mom turned things around and sold ad space in the window to the National Inquirer) If I recall correctly I appeared on some show with him in which he proceeded to make an idiot out of himself on some nonsensical constitutional point. Also, if I recall correctly, any number of liberals and journalists thought Moore's stunt was hilarious. So let's not hear too much piousness about Dobson & Co. from that quarter either.
Still, I think it's just wrong to divulge home addresses for the puprose of harassing public figures.

GOOD POINT [Jonah Goldberg]
From a reader:
Jonah, And don't forget - Just recently some immigration group, I believe, showed up at Karl Roves house to protest. In some corners it was praised for its guerrilla tatics in protest politics.

MORE ON MOORE-ONS [Jonah Goldberg]
From a reader (who's right about Lars):
...a local conservative radio talk show host, Lars Larson (larslarson.com). It was to a couple of thousand MM like minded people who were in his Portland audience. Entire audience heard Lars' recorded cell phone greeting give out his home phone number - he and his wife then started getting death threats at home. Nice crowd. Doesn't excuse what Dobson did but MM better not bitch.... [Name withheld] Portland
P.S. Keep an eye out on Lars, could be another Rush.

This shows you what an idiot Moore is. He did call Lars Larson on stage and left him a message. Except he called Lars Larson, the guy who works at BridgePort Brewery, and not Lars Larson the radio host. The Oregonian had an article about it a month later.
I dunno Jonah--so we can sign him up for snail mail spam? That's my suggestion.
I agree, it's a bad move. If Moore is good at anything it's absorbing publicity, good or bad. The best way to deal with Moore is to ignore him and let him collect all the rope he needs to hang himself.
It is a bad move, indeed. FR wipes posts ASAP that violate the "Home is HOME" rule.
MM is a traitor. He absolutely does not deserve any protection from ethics or morality.
Fat Mike Moore cannot be found |

I don't know. I think it was a perfect move. Moore already gave his stamp of approval on this sort of thing. At least it is apples and apples instead of apples and oranges like Moore's doofy idea was.
So what is his address? We can send him truckloads of promotional material and junk. The roaches may get confused, though. And he may not find his next day's dirty clothes.
I'm Focus On The Families email list and I haven't received an email with that info.
But if it happened or happens Moore deserves it. It is time to fight fire with fire.
Check your June 29 Citizenlink. I think it was a smart move. I posted it above.
BTTT
The disgusting wierdo can buy a new house!
FR's policy is to NOT post personal information regardless of who it pertains to
Ask me and I'll send it to you privately. My post was deleted. How smug of them.
And it's a good policy. Good thing I had a pen close by. :)
This was posted on a NRO message board, which came from another message board (http://www.0xdeadbeef.org/blog/non_prophet/archives/005330.html). I just called FOF to verify but that office is closed for the day (5:15 pm there) - have to check back in the morning. Personally I'd be surprised if this were true.
No big deal... they won't get past the doorman.
