Obvious double standard.
My wife went to rent a DVD this weekend and she said that F911 was flying of the shelves. She said that Blockbuster had sold everything they had out for sale and all of the copies that were on the shelves to rent were checked out. So it is apparent that Michael Moore is going to be able to reach anyone who has an interest.
But, lets deny a small documentary that is going to reach a limited audience, where is the outrage from the liberals at the obvious double standard(sarcasm)?
A couple of weeks ago we were in an area video rental place and there was a poster advertising f911 and I made a comment to my husband about it not being something we would be renting. The owner over heard me and commented - "I really didn't want to carry it."
The ensuing conversation was interesting. He originally wasn't going to carry it and had told many people who inquired that he wouldn't. He said he got a lot of grief from a lot of people about his "censorship" and a bunch of people cancelled their memberships. But that was not what caused him to change his mind about carrying it. he explained he changed his mind based on the comment of one long-time customer, who is also a friend and die-hard Bush supporter. This person said "there are a lot of us that know the thing is hogwash, but we need to know what we are talking about when refuting the lies from this thing."
Long story short - he ordered the minimum number of copies he could and has a waiting list for it that stretches until after election day - but the only names on the list are people he knows are actually Bush supporters - in other words he is not making the film available to the kool-aid drinkers!!!!!
