Fahrenheit Moore or Less

[Huck]

Definitely some credible first hand insight into the fat bastard's true nature. Truth will out. Also, looks like Pete's gone wobbly on the war. I know the feeling. Been there, done that. We need to find his email address and help him pull himself together.

WGFA is not an unconditionally anti-war song, or a song for or against revolution. It actually questions the heart of democracy: we vote heartily for leaders who we subsequently always seem to find wanting.

Interesting.

[Howlin]

We’ll be fighting in the streets
We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
We don’t get fooled again

The change, it had to come
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
And history ain’t changed
’cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
’cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
We don’t get fooled again
No, no!
No, no!

I’ll move myself and my family aside
I’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
If we happen to be left half alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
Do ya?

There’s nothing in the streets
There’s nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Same as the old boss

It might be easier if we try to find articles about things Moore hasn't lied about.

Moore comments here

[BCrago66]

Is one of Neil Young's songs in the movie? That would be peculiar, Young being the author of "Let's Roll."

[megatherium]

Isn't Pete Townsend the one who punched Abbie Hoffman, when Hoffman tried to commandeer the mike on stage at Woodstock when the Who were supposed to perform?

[1066AD]

That's one to play LOUD and better watch the speedometer too :)

[megatherium]

They use Neil Young's "Keep on Rocking in the Free World".

[wingman1]

Abbie Hoffman. Brings back memories of some past revolutionaries - the Chicago Seven and William Kunstler.

Their counterparts of today are even less likely to find converts.

"We Won't Get Fooled Again"

I have watched as our so-called `fellow countrymen` have taken treason to new lows. Trying to make us fail the most important test of our time; Freedom in the Middle East.

I have watched as our nation has grown weary of the fight from constant bombardment of negative liberal press even though it has been the single greatest and most important military victory of our time. Not to mention the incredibly low casualty rate compared to other fights of freedom. (not to diminish a single life)

I have watched as our `Political correctness run-a-muck` society beats itself up over slightly rough interrogation of terrorist murderers who laugh at our weakness.

I have watched as if I had no stake in it all. But then I watch my children playing and realize that they also are the so-called infidels that these animals want to kill.

I have watched enough. I created the image below to combat the propaganda offered by the left. If they don`t want to help with the problem then let them get out of the way.

And lest we forget what we are dealing with:

[randog]

But he’ll have to work very, very hard to convince me that a man with a camera is going to change the world more effectively than a man with a guitar.

I don't quite know what to make of that, but I find it to be a very eloquent statement.

You go, Pete!

[Mike1973]

WHAT?! Michael Moore lied about something? I dont believe it. And Moore slurred someone and bullied them, surely Townsend is hallucinating.

[JENX 2]

Ping to AP. That says it all.

[freekitty]

I see Michael is still burning those bridges. His end is in sight.

[Mike Bates]

His end is in sight.

I would think it darn near impossible to get his end out of sight.

I knew someone was going to comment.

[Mike Bates]

Well, if you keep tossing out those straight lines. . .
