Democratic Party filmmaker Michael Moore is warning that the vast right wing conspiracy is trying to deny him an Oscar for his celebrated schlockumentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," complaining that "top Republicans" are trying to intimidate the Academy Awards with threats of a Hollywood boycott.
"A group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety)," Moore noted last week in a message posted to his web site. "The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid of Kerry, there was still one more nuisance running around loose they had to deal with -- me!"
Moore said that this evil GOP cabal has "issued a not-so-subtle threat to the Academy Awards voters that, in essence, said don't even THINK about nominating 'Fahrenheit 9/11' for Best Picture. And Bill O'Reilly recently bellowed that if the Oscars recognize my work this year, Middle America will boycott Hollywood."
Of course, some may recall that Moore promised to withdraw his film from Oscar contention when he thought he had a chance to air "Fahrenheit" on the pay-per-view cable net iNDEMAND before the election.
"I told my crew who worked on the film, let's let someone else have that Oscar," he told the BBC in September. "I don't want to take away from the other nominees and the attention that they richly deserve."
What Moore meant, it turns out, is that he was yanking "Fahrenheit" out of contention for the Best Documentary honors, which didn't preclude him from chasing the Oscar for Best Film.
And if Moore doesn't win his Oscar, it won't be because his rancid little flick was chock full of inaccuracies and propaganda, but because the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy strong-armed Hollywood into picking a less deserving production.
He motivated the troops like nothing else.
So, Mr. Moore -- LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! :o)
Shamu is insulted.
When all else fails- lie, cheat and steal your way into power by deceiving the American public. He knows the ole Demcrat rule.. no matter how big of a lie it is... no matter how outrageous.. if you say it and get it printed by the media some people will believe it.
I wish that fat-slob,of a psycho- would have to spend an entire week in Iraq- and look into the faces of our troops- ( And I don't say that lightly...)

The best thing at the RNC convention this summer was when all in Madison Square Garden got to boo Michael Moore.....it was great! After he gave us the Loser sign, he left! It was be impossible for him not to have any feelings over that! He knows so many depise him and his lies!
Freedom of speech is a right protected for him by better men and women than he could dare to dream of being. And no matter what the leftists say- that freedom comes with responsibilities, which he does not understand.
He may disagree with the administration about issues- and that is his right- but he has been rabidly negative, and dishonest about the rights that most Americans hold dear. The rights that our troops are willing to die for. The rights that our veterans have died for. The rights that American families have sacrificed for.
I will never forgive him and I hope justice will come down upon his head like a ton of bricks. Then again I think some of it has falling slowing upon him. What an empty shell of a human being.
May he spend the reminder of his days under the covers of his bed with his twinkies and Star magazines.
He already knows that his quest for the nomination is a failure, and this is simply his attempt to spin his failure to even be one of the top 5 nominees before it becomes apparent to the general public
Just read this in a NewsMax email. I'm wondering if perhaps Hollywood is blaming MM for the Demo defeat.
Hello Pookie. Just read comment 31 and we are agreed.
Apparently Moore has earned himself a seat at the "DNC table".
