(61,077 posts)8. I assume enough self selection in who goes to see it that it will roughly equivalent to F911.
I would bet on the right there are true believers who think this is a silver bulllet - even though it is fiction. I also remember the reaction on Democratic sites to F911 - it "destroyed Bush". In fact, I saw the film because I was in a book club that opted to see the film that month rather than read a book. I was nowhere near as involved with DK, DU or even the Kerry blog because I was (strange to say so now) too shy to write anything.
Still I was stunned that in a group of NJ liberal Jewish women - the film was negatively received. The connect the dot lines to most seemed completely unproved. (Things like BCCI were known to no one but me) With that group - all were supporting Kerry.
