Well, he's brought it on his own head by his own words.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" beat out Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."


Where and How??? Last I checked F9/11 is no where close to the numbers of The Passion.

Michael Moore is a practicing Catholic? He hasn't been fasting, that's for sure.

I think they mean 'practicing Catholic' in relation to Catholicism in the same way white guys practicing pickup basketball is analagous to the NBA championships.

Let's count Moore's lies, quickly:

1. Moore pretends it was Bush who let the bin Laden family leave after 9/11 without being interviewed by law enforcement and before planes were permitted to fly. Lie. It was Richard Clarke's, the left's poster boy, who signed the order without any direction from the president. The FBI did interview the family. Planes were flying by the time the family left.

Given Moore's hatred of the Patriot Act I'm shocked he'd suggest we actually hold people against their will without just cause.

2. Moore claims the Taliban went to Texas and met with Governor Bush to get approval for Unocal Corp. to build a pipeline in that country. Lie. The Taliban did go to Texas at the invitation of Unocal Corporation which had permission from the Clinton administration to pursue the deal. The Taliban did meet with at the White House. Problem is it was the Clinton White House in 1997 and 1998.

3. Moore and all the leftists say OBL and Saddam did not have a relationship. Lie. For ten years in the 90's the mainstream press wrote hundreds of articles which detailed the world's alarm at the growing relationship between OBL and Saddam. The Clinton administration got an indictment in federal court against Osama bin Laden which detailed how the terrorist agreed not to attack Iraq in exchange for WMD training. As well, the 9/11 Commission co-Chairs have mentioned recently that they've seen evidence that an Iraqi Fedayeen member was present during at least one pre-9/11 planning meeting.

4. Moore pretends that it is the minority groups in the country who primarily serve in the military and further lies and says that no one in the administration or Congress has children who serve in the military. Lie. Truth: Over 10 Congressmen have kids in the Middle East and Ashcroft has a son in Iraq. There is a thread about this matter on FR but I no longer have the link. Additionally, the minority populations serving in the military pretty much follow their representation in the general population.

5. Feel free to add to the list. It's a long and distinguished list in the Hallmark Hall of Fame of liars.

They are up at the crack of dawn, uh, trying to figure out what group of Americans they're going to hurt today."

Whereas Mikey doesn't have to figure it out - he has our entire country in his crosshairs.

On what dimensions did it beat The Passion?! Mel's film earned over 300 million! Thats 10X what Moore has made. This has got to be lying with statistics 101.

BTW, I've seen them both and the Passion is a much more refined, artful and meaningful film by a long shot (whether or not you agree with the messages of either).

Ashland, Oregon? Talk about a liberal enclave. More preaching to the choir. If Moore's going to make a difference he's got to get out of his own echo chamber.

As far as F911 goes, I read yesterday that the movie shot its wad last weekend and isn't a contender at the box office anymore. Anyone got any specific stats?

Micheal Moore is so full of himself that he's going to blow up. The fallout will be horrific for those in the vicinity.

Moron beat out Christ?...

Give me a break! Moron did 23 mil opening weekend while the "Passion" did EIGHTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS the opening weekend.
Passion did more the first day than Moron did the whole frigggin' weekend!

Moron couldn't beat himself out of a Macdonald's paper bag...

Spiderman will mop up the floor with Moron this 4th of July weekend...

Point, Game, Set, Match!

The only place I can see Michael Moore possibly beat the Passion was average $/Screen, and at that it was only by $4.00.
