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.


The only speech hollywood cares about is BOXOFFICE

Don't pay to see this crap and it will soon be in the bargain bin at dollar world

Not buying or renting F 9-11 (which has been attacked by Ray Bradbury, the author of the novel Fahrenheit 341 that Moore has stolen the title from) does not suffice in the case of this full frontal assault on the Republicans and Dubya by the release of this docudrama.

Moore's flaky fabrication directly attacks one political party and its leader while Hollywood offers nothing as a counter.

As I see it there are two ways to counter this dangerous precedent being set by Moore and Hollywood:

1) Show a counter documentary refuting the lies in the Moore piece;

2) Mount an all out attack on media and the theaters who show it THIS YEAR before the election! We should clearly point out that we want to postpone the showing until after the election in the spirit of fairness! The argument should be couched in terms of fairness and fair play.


Doing nothing but complaining and boycotting does a disservice to the campaign and to free speech. Imagine if no one had spoken out against the Reagan TV movie. It would have been aired in prime time without any counter argument, without any discussion at all. A myth would have been created and millions would have assumed it was reality. We battled against it and created a furor undermining its credibility. We need to do this again!
