The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major's Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11." Maj. Stone was killed in March 2003 by a grenade that officials said was thrown into his tent by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder. "It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Maj. Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson. "We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Miss Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called him a 'maggot that eats off the dead.' " The movie, described by critics as political propaganda during an election year, shows video footage of the funeral and Maj. Stone's fiancee, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and placing it on his coffin. The family does not know how Mr. Moore obtained the video, and Miss Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse. She described her nephew as a "totally conservative Republican" and said he would have found the film to be "putrid." "I'm sure he would have some choice words for Michael Moore," she said. "Michael Moore would have a hard time asking our family for a glass of water if he were thirsty."
And feeds off everything else, too, the fat pig.
My feelings are not only of outrage, but of revulsion. Mr. Moore symbolizes all that is wrong with the political opposition.
I am hoping this story has legs ....It is outrageous for Moore to take such liberties
The MAIN question to the entire movie is this....HOW did he get those pictures???? WHO sold those pictures to him??? Did Nick Berg and his partner et Moore pictures??? A Lawsuit is the ONLY way to get this information.
He's actually like a big fat TICK just waiting to explode!!
And this fine young man was killed bya MUSLIM TRAITOR!!!!!!
He has id'd himself as an "Enemy-Domestic."
I think that's particularly relevant - the soldier he chose to show was another victim of the terrorists but, of course, he'd never let on to that.
Thanks. Item updated with your link.
Give it legs. Email to ten people or talk-show hosts.
That guy hasn't gone to trial yet?!
Timothy Mcveigh was tryed and killed in less time.
"A maggot that eats off the dead."
I think we need to use the whole phrase. "Maggot Moore" doesn't have the same moral force.
And of course, Moore's brainless folowers (including most of the movie critics) will find a way to defend him...
MM is placing himself in a bit of a quandry. If President Bush is defeated (heaven forbid), has Moore, in effect, killed the goose that laid the golden egg?
I hope the family considers whether this lawsuit is better before or after the election bc you know Moore will cry censorship...God bless the soldier and his family.
Mexico City is 600 miles from the border with Guatemala. Guadalahara is near the US border...
Catchy. Very catchy.
You've just produced a concise definition of a liberal.
