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." 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, 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," 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 Stone's fiancee, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and touching it to his coffin. The family does not know how Moore obtained the video, and 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."
I hope they sue that bastard for a Billion dollars
Moore is disgusting.
This man has to be held accountable for something. Arrrgggggg.
Would love for her to be on Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reily, Lura Ingram. Oh what a treat that would be.
"Calls Michael Moore, "Maggot That Eats Off The Dead"
It's what I've said all along. Moore and his ilk cash in on the spoils of war or anarchy. They're parasites who feed off the flesh.
Here's to a great attorney and a huge settlement.
Moore IS a maggot.
Scarborough is gonna be talikng about it in a few minutes
"The family does not know how Moore obtained the video, and Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse."
I hope they do sue Mr. sue happy Moore. See how he likes to be skewered for a change. Time for his karma in spades
This should get ugly for Moore.
Considering what was done to this family, I really like his mothers choice of words to describe the slug.
Describing Moore as a maggot is an insult to maggots.
Joe is the only reason I don't stand at the intersection of American Way and MSNBC Plaza, among all the outlet stores, with a sign that reads, "MSNBC - Going Out of Business Sale".
He's the only thing keeping me from dumping MSNBC completely.
I wonder if Senator Edward would be willing to be their lawyer in a law suit against Moore after the election....... I mean that is his expertise right???
"This should get ugly for Moore."
Oh goody (claps)
I will not see it. The people who are seeing it are DUmmies who see it again and again to get their hate fix, akin to heroin junkies getting their fix, IMO.
I won't spend a penny to see that idiots movie.
An orgasm of hate.
