“Bash America” filmmaker Michael Moore is about to unleash an attack on the U.S. Military, the heroic men and women of the Armed Forces and our Commander-In-Chief via his film “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Inexplicably, more than 1,000 theaters have indicated they will proudly broadcast what The Guardian calls an “anti-war/anti-Bush” film – beginning June 25th. And the number keeps growing each day. The goal of the film is abundantly clear: to undermine the war on terrorism.
Moore has said the following about the film:
“Half the movie is about Iraq – we were able to get film crews embedded with American troops without them knowing it was Michael Moore. They are totally f***ed.”
After it was pre-screened, one Blame American First viewer cried, “It made me wanna burn my passport.”
Apparently there are dollar signs in their eyes too.
Michael Moore and his anti-American film distributors are hoping to cash in to the tune of millions of dollars and also change U.S. politics. One British paper noted that “Moore hopes that it will bring down the U.S. government.”
So why are mainstream movie theaters involved in promoting a political advertisement that defames our military, insults our troops and attempts to undermine the public’s support for the War on Terror?
Why are movie theaters showing political propaganda that should be governed by Federal Elections Commission regulations on campaign finance?

MORE COMMENTS BY AND ABOUT MICHAEL MOORE AND HIS FILM “FAHRENHEIT 9/11”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy.’ They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow – and they will win.”
-- Michael Moore in his message posted on his website, April 14, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fahrenheit 9/11 was described as “incredibly superficial and misleading treatment at times.”
-- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“It’s representative of the fact that Michael Moore doesn’t always give the whole story and he’s a master of the misleading.”
-- Congressman Mark Kennedy (Minnesota)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the British newspaper, The Guardian:
“Moore was unequivocal about his desire to do everything in his power to help oust President George Bush in this November’s elections.
‘We thought, We cannot leave this to the Democrats this time to f**k it up and lose.’
[Responding to reports that some in the Disney Corporation found the movie unacceptably political and would not therefore distribute the film, Moore said]:
“I won’t let that happen and neither will Harvey Weinstein. People will see this film by hook or crook. I will get this out if it means breaking the law or committing an act of civil disobedience.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moore has already defamed the passengers who were on board the airplanes hijacked on September 11th:
“The kind of people who fly in airplanes want someone else to clean up their mess; that’s why they let hijackers take the plane.
“The passengers on September 11 were scaredy-cats, because they were mostly white.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“With Moore's customary blend of humor and horror, "Fahrenheit 9/11" accuses the Bush camp of stealing the 2000 election, overlooking terrorism warnings before September 11 and fanning fears of more attacks to secure Americans' support for the Iraq war.”
-- From the cable television network, CNN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the presidential primaries, Michael Moore referred to George W. Bush as, among other things, a "deserter.”
Even ABC's Peter Jennings – hardly a fan of President Bush – condemned Moore’s characterization of Bush as a ‘deserter.’ "That’s a reckless charge not supported by the facts.”
Your opinion is dismissive of people who have concerns other than yours. Your stance has nothing to do with principle.
Yes I have said that Jews had no reason to be leery. Their objections were based on what the Bible says so there was no surprise coming. Gibson said he intended to stick as closely to the Bible as possible. And he did. So I am being dismissive of unreasonable concerns. I am not being dismissive of any person or people. To suggest that is very misleading and intentionally disingenuous of you. Something that reveals a profound lack of ethics and principled behavior. Either that or you are dumb as a post.
Why can't you just admit that you have different principles when it comes to different issues? It's not exactly a secret at this point.
I guess dumb as a post is the answer.
Apparently so.
STOP MICHAEL MOORE FROM PROFITTING IN HIS ATTACKS ON AMERICA & OUR MILITARY

With hope, justice and accuracy, one can only hope for Moore to be "Tango Uniform", as soon as possible, before he can pollute "any-moore".... Mustang, (yes, I'm still alive), sends from "Malpaso News"
We all loved him, Mustang's son! My prayers sent to all.
I think your Dad would like this send-off photo.
I'd be delighted, but profits are legal (thank God) in these parts and Michael (however misguided) is entitled to earn his. That being said if he is turning out a product that perhaps we should not patronize, please make that the emphasis of your post. We can address that directly.
You got me this time. This is a continuation of the F911 post of 18 months ago. Sorry to have responded and to have stretched this out unnecessarily.
