Who Are The Mystery Men Behind The Attack On Michael Moore?
A mysterious group has suddenly emerged to mobilize wing-nut opposition to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. The group, "Move America Forward," bills itself as "a national organization working to build support for our troops, the military, our Commander in Chief and the War on Terrorism."
On its site it publishes a list of contact info for "anti-American" studio executives and asks followers to bombard them with angry emails and letters.
Alternative Press Review reports that the site is registered to Russo, Marsh and Brown, a California consulting firm.
From my work covering the campaign to recall Gov. Gray Davis last year, I know the "Russo" in that firm is Sal Russo, a top GOP consultant who was instrumental in getting the recall off the ground before anyone had heard of it.
Russo also worked on Bill Simon's hapless 2002 gubernatorial campaign until he was fired for overbilling Simon. A Sacramento Bee reporter told me in August, 2003, "Russo is in this to line his pockets. Everybody knows that."

1. A nice line from the article ...

"Why are movie theaters showing political propaganda that should be governed by Federal Elections Commission regulations on campaign finance?"

Hehe, so a bunch of "free speechers" are saying that Michael Moore's film should be banned because it's political.



This is just pre-emptive damage control from a right wing "astroturf" organization. My guess is they're trying to get people to avoid seeing it among the undecided crowd. Of course, the absolute WORST thing is for Wing Nuts to see it. They can't allow their synchophants outside of the "Big Brother" media corporation. Their lies are so shallow now that they are EASILY busted.

4. Eerily reminiscent of past dark days in America's history...

This is pure, unadulterated McCarthyism in the full, butt-naked RAW!! Yep, if we don't like what they say, let's shut 'em up, indimidate them, or even harm or kill them.

Be afraid of right wingnuts... be very afraid!

5. We The People try to pass laws to keep the rich from buying elections

and they declare free speech a "campaign contribution." I hope they don't charge my friend with violating FCC regulations by contributing 35 cents worth of T-shirt material to the anti-bush campaign (secretly run by John Kerry)
