In fact, even reputable liberal pundits are stepping forward to denounce "Fahrenheit's" inaccuracy, from Christopher Hitchen to Ellen Goodman to The Washington Post's Richard Cohen.

Hitchens called the film a "sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness," while Newsweek joined in this week with a headline, "More Distortions from Michael Moore."

Moore appeals to the ignorant, the mentally challenged, and the hateful. He can claim whatever he wants, he probably thinks he is Jesus himself. I think we shouldn't spend time talking about this human waste.

>>"Fahrenheit 9/11": http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=fahrenheit911.htm

Box office mojo depends on theaters HONESTLY reporting their results.

This political hack-film was promoted in the MOST leftist theaters in the country...
S0 what are the odds they all reported ACCURATE results???

HERE IS THE BLURB FROM MOJO: "Fahrenheit's $27,558 per theater average ranks as the second highest all time for a wide release (adjusting for ticket price inflation knocks it down to No. 11) and the best of 2004, ahead of The Passion of the Christ's $27,554 and Shrek 2's $25,951. However, they were super-saturation releases playing at 3,043 and 4,163 theaters respectively -- the lower the theater count, the easier it is to have a high average as the release isn't diluted by less populous locations with lower ticket prices."

What a maroon. When his idiot film makes over 300 million dollars, then he might have something to crow about.

Moore's ability to deceive himself and his buddies on the left never ceases to amaze me.

"....said Just, a former liberal, now-conservative Democrat – and also a Christian."

What in the hell is a conservative Democrat? There's no such thing. Why support a liberal party as a conservative? Moore's tripe won't even come close to the Passion of The Christ.

"Take that day off on November second," Moore exhorted. "And take, you know, take five non-voters to the polls. You know who they are. They're your friends, your family members, people you go to school with. Just commit now to convincing them. Tell them, you're at work or whatever, it's at noontime, tell them, 'Hey, let's all, come on with me. I'll buy everybody lunch,' you know, or if it's at night, you know – "free beer for everybody that comes vote with me right now!" You know, just get creative. Do whatever it is you gotta do!"

So, does that mean that Moore is advocating the violation of electioneering laws?

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

He's been pigging out on communion wafers.

He lied throughout the movie. He might as well continue to lie about how much money the movie is making. It all just goes together.

May God have mercy on this Christ-less man's pathetic soul.

The only way for Moore to sell more tickets is for the same drooling, Bush hating, kool-aid drinkers who've seen this cartoon already to go back for more.
