Michael Moore Plans Return to Convention

MEGAN COSSEY

Associated Press


NEW YORK - Filmmaker Michael Moore said he will return to the Republican National Convention where delegates roundly booed his presence on opening night.

snip.......


"I now know what the Christians probably felt like walking into the Coliseum," Moore said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.

Moore, who seemed to relish the tumult, said he would return despite the chilly reception "because I'm here to cover the convention and I'm here to write about what I see."

snip...

Ullmann (Moore's USA Today editor) initially said that Moore would not be returning to Madison Square Garden. But he later said, in the end, the columnist has "to speak for himself."

[LiberalBushFan]

2. good man, good man

I sure wouldn't want to go in there.

[bahrbearian]

3. He probably needed some fresh air.

[Ducks In A Row]

4. good. knew they couldn't scare him away.

he should get a big feather to tickle the goons surrounding him when they try to stop reporters from interviewing him.

al franken's going to try a feather tonight too.

[PartyPooper]

5. He should distribute DVD's of "F 9/11" as "party favors" to the delegates!

Hooray for Michael Moore!

:yourock:

[wackywill]

16. F9-11 dvd's with

"The Passion of Christ" labels on them.

[PartyPooper]

18. Amen to that!

:evilgrin:

[Downtown Hound]

6. Give 'em hell Mike!

:yourock:

[drmom]

7. We need more people like Mike!

[Catfight]

8. Yeah, those booing Christians, they are such a peaceful godly bunch.

I hate Christians, they are the most unkind, hypocritical, rude, oppressive, bigoted group of people that have turned me off to God forever. I'll say it for the hundredth time, I'd rather spend eternity in hell than with a Christan.

[Malva Zebrina]

12. Think of all the neat people you can spend time with in hell

instead of in heaven next to all sorts of criminals who have been "saved" because they repeated a sentence and accepted Jesus.

[noahmijo]

17. Do you hate even the Christians that don't practice

bigotry and use the religion to practice acts of kindness and charity? believe it or not they do exist they just don't get the air time they deserve.

[Mizmoon]

19. I've heard of those kinds of Christians

but I've yet to meet them. Seriously. And you're talking to a person who has made four out of seven sacraments (so far). I've attented Catholic and Episcopal Churches.

I left the Episcopal Church when a Bishop was caught embezzling and everyone just forgave him. Just like that. There were no questions about his ability to be a moral leader - nothing. No criminal charges either.

Then my Catholic Church was involved in the molestation scandle.

I hear about these churches that have food pantries and help homeless people, but I've yet to actually meet one. What I have met instead was very troubling.

[noahmijo]

22. Well right now you're talking to a Catholic

who supports gay rights who supports abortion rights, and who despises the leadership of the Catholic church.

Just out of curiosity do you also hate all Muslims because of the bad apples in their barrel as well?

Granted ALL religious groups have their leaders that need to get out of power and the sheeple who follow them need a reality check, but I think it's way over the top to be hating any sort of group for the deeds or misdeeds of few.

[Mizmoon]

29. I don't hate Christians

I resent their corrupt churches and no longer want to be a part of organized religion.

[noahmijo]

32. I hear ya, I respect that you and I can differ on this one

I tell myself I'm part of the religion not the governing board of man that profess to protect and create rules of which the religion is to follow. So in a sense I guess I go through the motions and so forth but at the same time no one tells me who to vote for or what to believe.

20. ya know, Catfight

I have to admit that you have actually put in print what I have thought so many times especially "Christians ... have turned me off to God forever."

It's gotten to the point that when people say: have a blessed day, I almost retort, please don't jinx/hex me.

I was raised a good Episcopalian; and my poor Mom -- gone 5 years this week -- is probably turning in her grave over what I have come to and my thoughts on religion. But I agree wholeheartedly with you :hi:

[bigluckyfeet]

21. I have heard it said

"it's better to spend a little time with hypocrites on Earth,than to spend eternity with them in hell."

[Catfight]

9. Can we pre-order FH911 yet? I feel like making Moore richer today!

[osaMABUSh]

15. Yes, pre-order F 9/11 DVD at amazon.com

comes out first week of October I believe.

[CHIMO]

10. Way To Go Mike

Make em back off.
Push em back. Push em back.
Way back!
Your pen is mightier.

[peacetalksforall]

11. As if anyone needed proof of the impact of the film - last night was

it - was anyone surprised that it was McCain who set off the booing?

The DVD/video is due out soon - buy an extra for circulation for those who couldn't afford the ticket money or the time.

[Mr_Spock]

13. Good man, maybe the Republifools will boo him again and get Moore interest

in F9/11!! I love it - damn fools. Republicans generally seem to be as stupid (bandaids, booing Moore etc...) as the Dumbster is specifically stupid.

[Postman]

14. Michael Moore, Patriot.

n/t

[Bleacher Creature]

23. Hate to be crass here

But that guy's got serious sack.

[CHIMO]

24. What Is

"Serious Sack"?

[pfitz59]

26. Grande cajones

Big balls...

[CHIMO]

27. UM

OK.
If you say so.
Thanks for the reply.

[moondust]

25. Would the little Bush coward ever be able to do something like this?

Georgie in the lion's den? I think not.

[DemoTex]

28. Mike Moore is facing the big guns on the Ho Chi Mihn Trail now.

OK, you say. GO! I did it almost 250 times. It is not easy to fly down the barrel of the enemy's big guns. Mike got shot up bad yesterday. Second day back on a bad target is a charm. Mike knows how, now, to jink his enemy. But he is like one little brave F-4 rolling in on target. No, he is like a flight of 4 F-4s, as effective as eight ... rolling in on a target. Snake & nape Mike, cleared in hot.

[Judi Lynn]

30. Anyone new to American politics would have seen that display

of hatred launched at Michael Moore the other night, with the frenzied rattling and hissing from the audience as living proof of a very large sickness in that room.

They have been fired up by their masters, haven't they? Pity.

Hope Michael Moore lives to be a very old, accident and harmful incident-free beloved friend of ordinary, non-hysterical Americans everywhere.
