It also is seeking compensatory damages of $1.

If it were a conservative filmmaker who had committed a fraud like this, the newspaper would have been suing for $100 million dollars.

Time to update your friend. Send him this article.

[cookcounty]

If he did it in that one case, what do you want to bet that most of his "newspaper headlines" were bogus?

[mugs99]

WHY aren't more people suing this lying freak?

He has Artistic License, a privilege granted to the Hollywood Aristocracy.

[Bullish]

What idiot sees a headline roll by and takes it as gospel anyway?

Oh wait, we're talking about liberals here so.... Never mind.

Suing him for a dollar is wonderful, he'll either have to fight it in court or settle, thereby admitting guilt.

[Hotdog]

Another PIG fart!

[sharktrager]

Why? So Bill could have not brought up yet one more serious issue?

[TADSLOS]

...and the Joseph Goebbels Propoganda Award for excellence in film production goes to...

[PISANO]

No big deal the WHOLE FRIGGIN movie is one big LIE!! Moore could care less about truth all that matters to him is his socialist/commie agenda.

You're absolutely right about that.

"Why? So Bill could have not brought up yet one more serious issue?"

Good point.

note to self, think before posting

"He has Artistic License, a privilege granted to the Hollywood Aristocracy."

But it's supposed to be a documentary. It's not. It's a pile of distorted lies. That's lying - not artistic license.

[Quix]

$1.00?

Sue his shorts off.

Give him one of Monica's dirty thongs.

Parade him with Billdo on . . . some very distant planet.

Then lock that address out of the Stargate dialer.

Why aren't more people suing Mikey? Because Mikey knows that most people cannot afford the legal costs. See, although he claims to stand up for the little guy, I think he really despises us. He figures we're too stupid to do the research and find his lies (I'm going to make that a class assignment this year!) so we'll just believe what he says. I mean, he is blue collar, right?

So, he's not worried about us peons pulling back the curtain and finding the wizard is a troll. All he cares about is that we go see his movies, help him buy another home, and accept everything he says as gospel. Oh,yeah, and adore him too!!

It's only lying when applied to us commoners. For the Aristocracy, entertainment or political, it's Artistic License. Same as John Kerry's war film.

As a Texas lawyer, I will represent anyone in a Texas state or federal court against Moore IF they can bring me a valid legal claim. The problem is almost no one has standing to bring a suit, and Moore likely isn't amenable to jurisdiction in Texas (state) courts. For Federal, you'd likely have to go to either Michigan or New York, unless there is some personal jurisdiction in another state. A movie he produced being shown in several dozen Texas theatres doesn't make the minimum contacts necessary, and he I doubt he's been anywhere near Texas (at least for a long time) for fear of getting shot.

[Libertina]

Oh big deal. Another Moore 7truth-victim chickening out. A ONE DOLLAR fine? For pity sakes...

Now it is making the front of liberal Yahoo News.

Moore could care less about truth all that matters to him is his socialist/commie agenda.

I don't think he even cares about that. It's just a way for him to get money, attention, and respect.
