But you forgot the BARF ALERT
I had to laugh when I saw the author's name.
"But the pictorial mockery of the commander-in-chief of this country does not overshadow the factual strength of “Fahrenheit,” which is based largely on public record documents and reports."
I guess this idiot has not read the critiques from Michael Isikoff, Christopher Hitchens, the 911 Commission Report, and etc. Unless this idiot thinks they are members of the vast right wing conspiracy.
The democrats must be awfully sure of themselves to use the destroy the crops and burn the bridges type of campaigning they are using.
This can be used against them. Oh, I know the media would just say that it's hateful and awful and so unfair and untrue, but hey, they don't have a lock on it anymore.
Mr. Moore takes it all in stride—and has encouraged teenagers to “find your way into a theater to see this movie.”
Inciting a minor?
What a lot of bilge.
Rush read a Washington Post poll that said support for Bush on the war has gone up to 55% since this crapumentary came out.
This bile from something named Dora Muhammad. Quelle surprise.
Did you know that your name's origin means "dirty supid little girl"?

"yellow brick road of propaganda"
Got that right...F 911 is propaganda pure and simple. Would have made Goebbels or Leni Riefenstahl proud.
I know your purpose in posting this but it sure does pollute the site.
Conspiracy, yes. Consider the source, it's the ZOG/OIL conspiracy they'd be thinking about. Plain old white dudes too.
Don't read it, pretend they don't exist. Those imams in our prisons, they're peaceful folk, nothing to do with this thought process.
Old age.
Moore is a Fraud
Final Call Web site (the Nation of Islam's publication) by Dora Muhammad
Men like Moore never learn. He only knows how to appeal to the lef'ts true believers. His tact does not work on centrist swing voters.
Very angry attacks on Bush will do what very angry attacks on Bill Clinton did for him. It will move Bush's approval rating back up the high 50s.
I spent a lot of years doing political editorials on local Radio. If I tried to tell people that a local politican was a crook, the public tended to support the politican.
When I laid out the facts and made no accustations, people would scream at me for not seeing what a crook the guy was. I fould I could not tell people what to believe. I had to just present arguments and let the public draw their own conclusions. That works.
Human nature is strange. The stronger one asserts an opinion, the more it is rejected. The public especially the centrist voters want to draw their own conclusions. The dumbest thing a political advocate can do .. is tell people what to believe.
Remember Reagan's very persuasive close to the Debate with Jimmy Carter? He did not say you are not as well off as you were 4 years ago.. and you therefore you should elect me.
What Reagan did was ask the voters this question and suggested two possible answers. He asked "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? If your answer is Yes then you should vote for my opponent. But if your answer is no, then I might suggest a different course you might take."
Reagan did not tell voters how to vote. He suggested a choice they might want to consider. They bought what he was saying. Reagan just lead the voters to water. He did not try to make them drink.. but tons of them did.
The Democrats are attacking George W. Bush exactly like the Republicans attack FDR in 1936. The media and its pundits were sure that FDR would be defeated. But when the votes were couted FDR in the 1936 electoin won 61 to 36.
The Moore film is counter productive. It only has believability for those that share Moore's opinions. It turns the swing voters off. The most recent polls prove it.
LIke all over the top pitches ... it fails.
