A Grand Old Flag was the first song we learned in the Drum & Bugle Corp back in 1967.

I just came back from seeing the liberal propaganda film Fahrenheit 9/11. (Don't worry, I had a free pass to the movie theater, and SPENT NO MONEY on this abomination.)
These are the impressions and thoughts I have after seeing the movie:
1. This is the most virulent anti-Bush production that I have ever seen.
2. Obviously in a propaganda piece, only one side of the story is shown. It's a 2 hour long anti-Bush ad. What makes this movie particularily dangerous is (I'm sorry to say this) the skill and subtlety and humor that went into it's production. What I mean to say is that Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, on his very best day, could not have produced such an effective and seductive piece of propaganda. Michael Moore has surpassed Joseph Goebbels, and is to be considered a dangerous virus in American culture.
3. It is interesting (and perhaps ironic) that Moore chose to speak of George Orwell at the end of the movie, considering that this film is nothing more than a 2 hour hate. (I think the hates in 1984 lasted 5 minutes.) There was very loud clapping and cheering at the end of the movie by the presumeably mostly leftist viewers. Maybe this was because I am far behind enemy lines in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Maybe liberals are less psychotic elsewhere. But, I am deeply disturbed by the extreme level of anger and hate among the Democrats and leftists.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM.
4. The way Satan is said to lie is to mix truth with untruth, thereby confusing his victim. Michael Moore understands this very well. He does implicate Saudi Arabia as an enemy of America, but then goes on to link President Bush to the Saudis and paints the President as an enemy of America as well.
5. I found it curious that before the movie projector was put on, the sound systen was playing songs about Cuba and Havana. It was just sort of freaky.
6. President Bush is portrayed as a bumbling fool who can't think for himself, and is controlled by his presumed puppet masters, the Saudis and the "super-rich elite."
7. People lacking the skill of critical thought, who go to the movies and believe everything they see, are going to view President Bush as the anti-Christ by the end of the film.
To sum up, it was UGLY.
A Grand Old Flag was the first song we learned in the Drum & Bugle Corp back in 1967.
Kerry should be asked about the film ...does he believe the Bush family was given 1.4 billion $ by Saudis? does he think Bush knew? Does he think Bush is stupid? On and on and on ..Ask him every question from the movie.Kerry needs to be put on record.

"Everyone knows Osama is dangerous, but most of the people in Europe and half the people in America don't recognize Moore for what he is -- a cancer. It is the enemy you don't see or recognize who is most dangerous, like a cancer growing inside your gut."
90% of the islamic world see Osama as a hero.
The other thing that worries me is will this movie be shown in all of the dollar theaters across the country? A ton of people might not pay $8 to see it, but they might pay $2 just to see what the fuss is about.
"it won't be breaking any box office records, let's not exaggerate that aspect of it."
In terms of raw dollars, Fahrenheit is actually the biggest opening ever for a movie playing at less than 1,000 theaters, topping Rocky III's $12.4 million at 939 venues.
Hopefully a lot of people go see this movie:

I put a few dollars toward it.
Just a thought, there is a difference between propoganda and this movie.
Propoganda is a product of the government.
Moore's movie is a personal political statement.
At least that's what I thought.
My point still stands. If we declare war, we can arrest more traitors.
You may be technically correct, but the lamestream media are already trumpeting that it IS breaking box office records -- for a "documentary."
Of course, this flick is not a documentary. It is propaganda.
You have the wrong target in your sights.
Moore needs to be debunked, year by year, political affiliation by political affiliation. Who are and were his supporters? Where did his funding come from? He has a history and I'll bet it's interesting.
Ship his fat ass to osama so the arabs can have a pork barbeque
I can't say I approve much of Bush as a President... but the real problem is people like Moore. He is so convinced about his own opinions that there is no room whatsoever for intelligent discourse in any of his productions. He uses emotive language and imagery to pursuade people to feel what he feels... The current state of newsmedia is constantly changing in the USA, but after living in China for awhile I can say that for all its flaws it is still great. The problem with Moore as a source of information is that he in no way even aspires to the grand journalistic tradition of objectivly reporting. When people view his material they are so moved emotionally that they can hardly tell that what they are watching is propaganda. I beleive that propaganda can be identified by its unfailing tendency to paint an issue either black or white... right or wrong. I see propaganda coming from both the democrats and rebuplicans... and both try to paint the picture that what they are saying is right. As I am not prone to any political label myself I feel that I have common ground with both... and more importantly I feel it is important to remember that whatever we label ourselves we are in this together. Thats the problem with Moore, he cuts a line through the middle with emotive illusions and does nothing to help his country
michael mooreon probably only got 50 cents from me. Much better than the 5 bucks he would have gotten from me if I would have seen his piece of shit in a theater.
Anyway, it was boring as hell, but I can see why DUmmies, who live in a DUmpster, were so entrhalled by it.
Those who live by trash, die in the trash.
