The national organization, Move America Forward, is asking Americans who are offended by Michael Moore's "Bash America" movie to voice their opinions to movie industry executives.
We've compiled a list of email addresses and other contact information for the leading movie industry chains - as well for those theaters who have already announced their intention to show "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Please Note - We note Mr. Moore's constitutional right to free speech. What we also acknowledge that Mr. Moore and his backers seem uncomfortable with is that the millions of Americans who are offended by his lies, his attacks on our troops and our president have the right to speak up and say what we think about his "documentary" to the people who will profit from showing it.

Read my post above.
We see this totally different.
I am exercising MY right to free speech just as Michael Moore is.
You are choosing to exercise your right not to speak. I've no problems with that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some talking to movie theater owners to do. Thanks! :)
"Best way to deal with this movie is simply not to go see it. Ignore it entirely. Any publicity will help Moore, not hurt him."
Bump. Anything else is supporting Moore.
Moore will make plenty of money off of this and likely set another record for highest grossing documentary thanks to what will be the next two weeks of unlimited free press from the liberal news media and the gucci entertainment press.
Care to make a friendly FReeper wager on how much the film will gross? It will top Bowling for Columbine with the media it's already gotten. Profit from America-bashing. Disgusting. (MMoore, not you).
Let me know about the friendly FReeper wager!
Don't go see it; carry a big magnet in your pocket when you pass videotape copies of it...
Don't stop Michael Moore's production...find ways to make it extremely EXPENSIVE.
There is a double-bonus in draining the coffers of evil."
I prefer to adopt the approach of a free-market economy and tell those who own the movie theaters that as a consumer I don't want them profitting from anti-Americanism.
Can you imagine if this had been a piece going after John Kerry. The FEC would have put it under McCain-Feingold and said it was a political ad and subject to campaign finance limitations.
Exactly right. He's gonna get his publicity from the left anyway. And the theaters that are gonna carry it are doing so because they agree with him. The only thing conservative noise will accomplish is to give him yet more publicity. Stay quiet, let the statistically miniscule number of leftists go see it, and let that be that. Silence in this instance is not capitulation, but smart strategy.

If the media were fair and unbiased then I would follow your advice.
But they are not, and Moore will get all the free publicity he wants. The question is whether the only voice in this 'national debate' will be Moore and his followers.
I'm sorry, but while you may choose to be silent, I do not. It's the perfect "balance" to Moore's right of free speech.
The hairy hand of the Clintons is all over the Michael Moore movie. Clinton/Gore hangmen, Kahane and Fabiani, have been hired by MiraMax to perform "war room" duties and attack anyone who criticizes Moore or the movie. It's also interesting to note that Moore's agent is Rahm Immanuel's brother.
Aaaah, breaking the law would make me no better than Moore. I prefer to counter Moore's 'free speech' with the speech of myself and millions of other Americans.

Moronic.
It's free speech.
If you don't like it, don't see it or rent it.
If only that were the case. Unfortunately it takes someone as extraordinary as Reagan to overcome the rant of "the world is over" from Moore and his ilk.

More on this later.

Thanks - and no need for the "moronic" part. You can disagree and still be agreeable about it.
Oh - and there are already documented inaccuracies with Fahrenheit 9/11 as well.
"It's the perfect "balance" to Moore's right of free speech."
And the perfect support for the publicity he needs to sell his screed.
