Moore was escorted out of the GOP Convention!

[zulchzulu]

Developing.... really...

McAint's lies like the rest of the GOPoid Roveoids about Moore:
"And certainly not a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace when in fact it was a place of indescribable cruelty, torture chambers, mass graves and prisons that destroyed the lives of the small children held inside their walls. "



John McAin't...you now officially suck. You must have known to do that, you jack-booted thug. What an American tragedy.

[AngryLizard]

1. Why?

It's not like he started flipping people off. He's working for USA Today.

[MissB]

5. I swear I saw him flashing the "loser" sign

Of course, *I* thought it was funny.

[TSIAS]

9. LOL

[MissB]

14. Well, that is definitely NOT the peace sign! (nt)

[democrank]

38. TSIAS.......

I`m dug into the Vermont woods.....clueless about this hand gesture. Could you fill me in?

Hello out there.....anybody?

[MissB]

44. It means "loser"

And is far more insulting if you hold the "L" against the forehead.

[Gman]

63. You have to have a teenage daughter to know what that is

as one who has had 2 teenage daughters give me that sign!

[Joe Turner]

84. It's either Loser or Liar

Both work for me and are equally relevant.

[joefree1]

2. What's wrong. Wouldn't he sign the loyalty oath? nt

[Cha]

3. With creditials and everything...

This will be something to write about!

[David Zephyr]

4. Scoreboard for the GOP: The "Big Tent" Minus One.

Who is next?

[marlakay]

6. my husband said he saw him give the looser sign

when they put the camera on him. I thought I saw him give the peace sign. also mike said he mouthed two more months very clearly.

[Lex]

11. Hee hee. That was awesome if he did that.

I got no respect for those lyin' mofos in that hall.

[Cha]

17. What's the "loser sign"? I need to know!

:D

[MissB]

23. See the link enclosed

[Cha]

30. Thanks! That is Priceless!

Oh, the guts of that man!:D

[Bad Thoughts]

27. Three extended fingers, as if a "W" n/t

[Cha]

32. LOL!

:D

[alphafemale]

81. I saw him mouth "Two More Months" nt

[Generic Other]

8. Wow. He sure pissed on their parade

Loved it...

Did you see old Babs sputter and nearly wet her Depends when Moore was identified? HAAHAHA

[AngryLizard]

12. It was the peace sign

How cool would it be if that WAS the headline in the papers tomorrow?

[MissB]

15. Looks like an "L" to me! (nt)

[michigandem2]

20. McCain actually got them into this! LOL! ugghh

idiots....if he is escorted out..that is just sick...we had their assholes hanging around ours and were pretty okay with it...we are much more inclusive though...

[Sugarbleus]

10. Omg, I can't wait to hear the story behind this... They

make a HUGE deal about "allowing" the Al Jazeera <sp? media LOGO inside the RNC.... BUT oust Michael Moore. :crazy:

[Crachet2004]

13. Probably for his own protection, after McCain sicced the crowd on him.

Maybe they are afraid Moore was gonna start eating freepers.

Fee, fie, foe, fum-I smell the reek of Republicans!

[against all enemies]

60. It will make great film for his ad selling 9/11F DVDs.

Moore will use the film to get more people to see 9/11. God they are so stupid.

[Piperay]

85. Yeah, those repukes are

so mean and hateful security probably did fear for Moore's safety.

[Mojambo]

16. Awesome!

Moore just totally HIJACKED the first night of the RNC.

Well done sir.

[Doosh]

22. he'll be back

[Cha]

24. Oh, LOL! So the loser sign is a Big "L"...

I'm am cracking up! USA is going to shit a brick!

[jean]

28. 'in the shape of an L on his forehead...'

[MissB]

33. Arrgggghhhh. Shrek. (nt)

[HarrietBrown]

25. Franken is saying that it was really weird

They turned all their hatred full force on to Moore--not long after singing Amazing Grace. What a bunch of hypocrits. You guys are brave to watch. I can't do it.

[David Zephyr]

31. Great Observation.

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

39. Yes! Michael Moore brings out the Beast

in them!

[David Zephyr]

52. Moore Rules.

Hi zidzi!

[Cha]

56. Hi David!

:hi:

[imax2268]

18. I think Al Franken may be next...

he's on the floor and he says that he's being pushed around by the security guards...

[jean]

34. don't hurt Al Franken! Earlier today he said the AAR radio signal

was being messed with - Katherine poo-pooed that - but he said he thought it was happening. Later tonight Sam mentioned the same thing on Minority Report.

[Doosh]

19. those pathetic little worms

what's wrong, Moore had the credentials to get in, he wasn't out of line???

they're just going to make this a bigger issue, you think you'll silence michael moore? think again.

[marlakay]

21. I guess he didn't sign their loyalty oath! n/t

[swag]

26. The media-jam of the century

Ass kicking. Take it to their faces.

[drscm]

29. Didn't McCain just say they were to love all Americans? Of course

he only meant those who adore *Bush's @ss.

I love the all-inclusive repugs...

[dennis4868]

40. FUCK YOU MCCAIN.......

I never curse but i have lost my cool.....

[zulchzulu]

35. Kick

I updated stuff...

[David Zephyr]

36. Wow! McCain Whips Up Mob Hatred Against Film Maker Who Is Brownshirted Out

Classy Republicans.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

41. You nailed it.

.

[David Zephyr]

47. And The "Lesson" Is Not Lost On the Rest of the Media.

Just ask Phil Donahue about what happens when you cross the White House.

[Cha]

46. I've heard of mccain whipping up "hate" before..

as far as I'm concerned..that's his MO.

At least his wife, cindy, said she could feel for the Kerrys because it happened to them.

[jean]

54. maybe our side will try for one escortee per night. Did we kick any

of them out in Boston?

[Cha]

58. Maybe Media Benjamin.

When she unfurled a banner against the war in Iraq?

Not positive on that.

[jean]

73. Yes! Medea was taken out at Boston, you're right!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

37. That's so f*ckin funny

!!

[Cha]

49. Another Oscar Winner Score for

Michael! I'll bet his buddies are cracking up!

[NEDem]

42. so much for "accepting and respecting dissent"

[flaminbats]

43. Did he forget his official permit..

or just trespass on public property?

[ochazuke]

45. First night: Dems One, Repubs ZERO X 2

McCain and Juliani can't offer ANYTHING but chants of 9/11. The Moore incident is great for the cameras and makes the 'thugs look like... well, thugs.

If this is the best they can do, they'll get a 'negative bounce'.

[drscm]

48. Unfortunately, offering only 9/11 is enough for a good number of sheeple.

eom

[LTR]

50. An article's up already

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000621414

Then, after taking his seat, he watched as Senator John McCain, speaking to the crowd, referred to a certain "disingenuous film-maker" and seemed to glance at Moore above him. Much of the audience erupted in boos and then, turning to Moore, many delegates shouted "Four more years!"

Moore waved, good-naturedly.

A short while later Moore exited, accompanied by heavy security. He told E & P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown.

Earlier, when he had trouble reaching his seat, after repeated credential checks, he was informed by a reporter that this was highly unusual. Moore quipped: "How well is YOUR movie doing?"

[bossfish]

53. I didn't see him on the TV...

But was the "good-natured" wave really the L sign?

Fine with me.

[Cha]

59. "How well is YOUR movie doing?"

:bounce: :toast:

[Viking12]

78. "Then McCain made his reference...."

and suddenly Republicans were not treating him so nicely."

From the E&P link. Disgusting freeptards goosestepping in obedience.

[girl gone mad]

51. This incident..

really makes them look bad. They should all be ashamed.

[zulchzulu]

55. Heavy security walked him out of the Garden

The Freepers may spin he had another event to go to, but this is an obvious attempt at censorship.

Moore is made for this part. Thanks, Senator McAin't for cueing the jackbooted thugs to get a little action tonight and take away more of the truth on his word. Buh-bye John. If you need some balls. join the Democrats.

Pussies.

[Cha]

62. So True, man!

:thumbsup: Way Up!

[bossfish]

64. according the article from E&P above...

Moore said he wasn't fleeing, but had another engagement.

So, let us not all get too excited.

[Cha]

71. So what was all of that about .."Being

escorted out by Security"?

[bossfish]

77. It says...

<A short while later Moore exited, accompanied by heavy security. He told E & P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown. >

It doesn't say he was thrown out.

But the same article mentions he was hassled repeatedly on the way to his seat.

[NYCGirl]

67. Yes, there's a Planned Parenthood sponsored concert and show uptown

at the Beacon Theater tonight.

[Zan_of_Texas]

83. Please think up some offensive words

that aren't based on women's bodies.

Thank you.


(Response to post 55)

[wndycty]

57. NBC5 in Chicago just reported it. . .

. . .this will backfire bigtime.

[zauberflote]

61. I hope so

But this might just be a wash. On the fencers might just think Moore was asking for it going into enemy territory.

[Cha]

65. Nobody admires True Grit anymore...

Except us, of course!

[zauberflote]

70. Moore controversy

It's good to create controversy unexpectedly and its wonderful when good things actually work out. We were worried the protests would backfire. They didn't.
Now we have Moore hustled out and, even better, Shrub saying this morning the war on terror can't be won. These are gifts.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

66. ALL publicity is good publicity...DVD pre-orders will go through the roof!

Meanwhile THEY BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT THEY DID NOTHING WHILE AMERICA GOT ATTACKED!! BWAHAHAHAHA~ Suckers!

[Cha]

68. Good PointS!

:toast:

[zulchzulu]

69. EXACTLY! Moore get more free press!

That's why he was so happy...McAin't gave Moore at least a few million dollars worth of free advertising.

[lolly]

74. Wonder if this will be on the DVD?

The All 9/11, All the Time footage from this convention fits perfectly with the rest of the movie. I wonder if he can get it on there in time?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

76. Moore can get it edited on time :) Great idea

[Guaranteed]

72. Saddam was BAD? I didn't know THAT!!

Where HAS our media been on THIS issue?

[Kadie]

75. A picture of him talking to Secret Service

Filmmaker Michael Moore talks with security officials as he is prevented from entering the floor area during the evening program of the 2004 Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden in New York, August 30, 2004. Moore, who was wearing a media messenger credential, was escorted away from the floor by U.S. Secret Service agents and convention security officials saying that he was wearing the wrong credential.

[rusty charly]

79. doesn't anyone in this party

feel uncomforable that they have to be so barricaded from the people they represent? doesn't that strike any of them as... wrong?

[stldemocrat]

80. Damn Rethugs...

[IndianaGreen]

82. Confirmed: Moore had to go to a Planned Parenthood gathering!

A thread was locked in LBN because it incorrectly inferred that Moore was removed from the RNC. The mod posted this story:

Much of the audience erupted in boos and then, turning to Moore, many delegates shouted "Four more years!"

Moore waved, good-naturedly.

A short while later Moore exited, accompanied by heavy security. He told E & P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown.

I am not even watching the stupid convention, and I won't at all all week long. Our local news is about to start. You guys should do the same!
