If I were to point out that porn is a multi-billion dollar business and extremely profitable, does that mean I'm in favor of porn?

My point is that, from a purely financial and box-office standpoint, 911 is wildly successful. That has nothing to do with the fact that 911 is a worthless sack of s*** and lies.

At least in a sort of roundabout way you are admitting way that michael moore is a political pornagrapher, and thus your admiration of him.

I surmise you are all in favor for politcal pornagraphy, which is similar to sexual pornography, in that it appeals to a human beings worst instincts.

In Jacksonville Fl. They weren't real skinheads. I just used that as a description I guess I should have said these shaved head guys. I've been told recently that it's big in the gay community so it's likely these were big biker fags. They looked like they must spend hours a day in the gym and they were yelling curse word at the scream and pumping there fist. They were the most animated and unfortunately their group was right around me but the rest of the crowd was really nuts too. I kept looking back when the whole crowd would yell or applaud and they all were crying. I'm telling you guys I am laughing about it know but I was shaken walking out thinking about how many of these nuts must be all around us on a daily bases.

Is every single film that makes less money than Passion a failure, now?

Every single "political" film is.

Violent actions make us no better than the democrats.

We have to approach this in a more appropriate manner. We can FReep the theater, we can hand out pamphlets that tell the truth about the lies, we can do many other things, but I think it is wrong to form a blockade and forbid people their right to see the movie. I wont be seeing it, but that is because I refuse to give my hard earned money to a piggish liar like MM, and I realize that the movie is merely lies to inspire hate towards our current administration.

Michael Moore - Not as good looking as Leni Riefenstahl.


Leni at age 100.

MOORE'S FILM will NOT ONLY cost AMERICAN LIVES (KILL PEOPLE) but MAY also turn the tide of opinion AGAINST the President. IF Moore is successful, Kerry will be Elected and America is doomed. Moore is not simply aiming to sway an election he is using propaganda to incite a coup de tau against President Bush.

Abortion is not the same as free speech, no matter how much the libs want to equate the two. If you try to block free speech, you (IMO) are destroying the very thing you puport to serve - America.

Anyway, what is a 'coup de tau'? Do you mean coup d'etat? In any case, Moore is NOT inciting any kind of coup (except maybe a coup de crapola). There's still and election and I still think we can win it. Like it not, people have to make up their own minds, and see through Moore's BS if they can or want to. You DON'T have the right to make that choice for them.

Conservatives blockading theaters would play right into Moore's hands. He'd love it. It'd just boost the controversy of the film, and he'd say conservatives try to supress free speech.

No, the best thing to do is to make voters aware of Moore's extremism and tie it around the necks of the Dems who have embraced him. Put up a TV ad, in South Dakota, for example, listing Moore's vicious anti-American quotes and then ask why Tom Daschle embraces and applauds this man, even to the point of delaying a vote on the defense budget to attend a screening of the film.

I wouldn't worry. Harry Potter & Dodgeball have already made their money. The only competition Moore's film (term used loosely) had was White Chicks, which American audiences seem to be willing to forget. Who can blame them, it looks vapid.

It's partly OUR fault that people are flocking to the opening. Trying to suppress the film, treating it as the coming as the Antichrist, created buzz publicity that Lumpy couldn't have bought with all the money on Madison Avenue. The real test is how popular f911 will continue to be after the true believers have seen it for the first time.

You're out of your mind. If you think blockading a movie theater is the way to deal with this movie than you understand nothing about this country.

I thought the movie would be big but I never envisioned 20 million in two days. The movie is playing 24/7 in New York. People are lining up and being fed this garbage. We must do something to stop the bleeding, make the film difficult to see, reduce the ticket sales and point out the truth.

It is being organized, local democrat politicians and (whisper) democrat stonghold black churches have organized political junkets to see this infomercial.

Churches as a tool of the Democrats, again.

Excellent idea. From Terry McAuliffe and Tom Daschle on down, the 'Rats have lashed themselves to Moore's mast. They should be exposed for that and held accountable for every anti-American pro-terrorist statement he's uttered. Hopefully the Club for Growth or another group on our side will pick up on your idea.

"The time to blockade and protest was two days ago....."

Blockade, shmockade. Stand in front of the theatre in full Muslim regalia. Ladies, take out your burkas. Go to the box office and ask for a thick with a Middle Eastern accent. Let out couple of impromtu "death to Israel and death to America". Watch the liberals/Dems in the audience. They won't know whether to crap themselves or go sailing.

While it's dispicable that a "big fat stupid" communist like Michael Moore can make money denigrating an honorable man like President Bush, we should try to keep this "box office record" in perspective!

Yes, approximately 2 million American-hating leftists saw F911 this weekend. Contrast this 2 million with RUSH LIMBAUGH'S WEEKLY AUDIENCE OF 20 MILLION AND SEAN HANNITY'S WEEKLY AUDIENCE OF 12 MILLION!

[I've got to leave, but someone should also do an analysis of this 2 million as it compares to the number of people in this country// the number of adults over the age of 18 // the number of registered voters // the number of registered Democrats! This analysis will make 2 million MM fans look VERY insignificant!]
