Michael Moore Draws Boos at Convention

2 hours, 21 minutes ago


NEW YORK - Already a box office sensation, filmmaker Michael Moore got another loud reception Monday at the Republican convention. This time, it was boos.


When Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., told the delegates about "a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq (news - web sites) was an oasis of peace," they knew he was referring to the maker of "Fahrenheit 9-11." The film, which savages Bush's Iraq policy, has set a box office record for documentaries, grossing $115 million so far.

1. McCain's totally gone over to the dark side.

After him and Dole, are there any respectable repubs left?

[dArKeR]

12. Any politician who is a repuke has surely sold his soul to Satan!

This I'm sure of. But I do believe there are many American citizens who honestly don't know what's going on; the don't have time to pay attention; they just listen to the Network Media Whore lies... and thus that's how repukes get 30% of their total votes. Whether or not God will accept their ignorance plea is going to be the most interesting thing I'm going to see in Heaven. (Besides who assassinated JFK, RFK, and MLK.)

18. I guess when you get screwed like he was by Bush. . . . . .

. . . you become servile. Like the low rung in a dog pack.

[wackywill]

37. It's a shame to see

McCain with his head down, tail between his legs. I used to admire him but have lost all respect for this hero, who has become a coward in my eyes. The sooner he's gone the better and make no mistake "Bush the Betrayer" will do him in just like he did in his buddy Saddam and just as his Daddy did in his buddy Noriega.


Please pardon my spelling.

[otohara]

2. Iraq Is An Oasis of Peace Now???

Peace at the barrel of a gun is so much fun.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Pub Peace is Domination and Control

[DieboldMustDie]

19. Remember how Caesar pacified Gaul?

He cut off the right hands of all the men so they couldn't brandish swords. :scared:

[leesa]

29. Our Caesars have polluted them with DU so they die or are disabled

50% of the Iraq war one vets can offer no resistance now. Or did you mean pacify Iraqis?

[Columbia]

4. Moore

[sniffa]

22. that's for me

LiberaLs stand taLL

[Downtown Hound]

36. Hahahahaha!

How much do I love Michael Moore? How stupid could McCain be to bring up the movie at a time like that? You just made Moore another couple of million ya' idiot! Not that I have a problem with that, but did you learn nothing from the whole Disney fiasco?

[Generic Other]

5. The sign of the "L" for loser!

Go Michael Moore!

[tuvor]

7. Lamebrain.

Limp.
Laughingstock.
Lunkhead.
Looney.
Lummox.
Loathsome.
Ludicrous.
Left behind in November 2004.

[krkaufman]

6. McCain needs to check-in with the Iraqis

Most would prefer a return to security at this point.

[Cha]

8. mccain said ..he didn' even see

F9/11!

[Tom Kitten]

9. but did not

Michael Moore's first TV nation program have it's birth in the Fox Network?

[minkyboodle]

11. nope NBC

then fox then comedy central

[Erika]

10. McCain's Lost My Respect

He and his family were most hurt by a Bushie team after New Hampshire. How he could forgive or forget that is beyond me. I donated to him in the past but I wouldn't give him a plug nickle now.

He's a scab.

[leQ]

15. my only question is just how much did it cost.

i have no doubt mccain got a deal out of it. somewhere. somehow. someway. he got what appears to be what he wanted. i'm surprised nobody's really picked up on that yet. or if they have, i haven't seen it.

[MaineDem]

25. Excellent point!

Maybe Jeb agreed not to challenge him in '08.

[sleepyhead]

26. Either that or

the BFEE has some dirt on him and he's being blackmailed.

[demokatgurrl]

44. That was my thought.

They have something on him and Zell Miller.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. LA Times has a video clip

[Nordic]

14. what a bunch of babies

good god these people need to grow up.

they ALL act like they're back in 7th grade.

[Q]

16. Oasis of peace? F911 doesn't even imply such a thing...

...and McCain is a lying scumbag for spreading this kind of disinformation.

- I'm surprised that McCain didn't call Moore a 'Saddam Lover' for having the nerve to oppose the war crimes committed in Iraq.

[wtmusic]

17. McCain hasn't seen the film

nor has any of these morons. The only consistency in their positions is hypocrisy

[dave123williams]

20. It can only help his box office numbers...

[non sociopath skin]

21. They control the Presidency, they control the Senate...

... they control the House. They control the Armed Forces and the CIA, Fox News and much of the media ...

And yet they are SO SCARED of one writer and filmmaker that they have to diss him at their Convention in primetime.

Michael, you should be VERY VERY proud!!

The Skin

[0007]

23. At least Michael Moore didn't tell the world what a shitty pilot

John McCain was!

[Disturbed]

24. McCain suffers from

battered wife syndrome. He got beat down so now he is servile.

[llmart]

28. Oh, my God!

That picture is so embarrassing to McCain. Forget me ever thinking McCain was a real man. For him to debase himself with this pandering is downright humiliating to him. What was he thinking? Oh, but didn't we hear from all the media whores how it was "so creepy how Kerry and Edwards were always touching each other?" McCain looks like he's ready to get down on W if he asks. Yuck!! I have to go purge this image from my eyes and brain now.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

33. Ugh! I cannot quite convey how disgusting and grotesque that picture is

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[lumpy]

38. Bush plays the Jesus role.

A pillar of strength, 'let the little children come unto me'.

[Insomnicole]

27. Moore is LOVING this.

Check it out, from the Washington Post:

"'Hey, the film's doing $120 million right now,' Moore said. 'When McCain mentions it, I have a chance to do $150 million. It just creates more interest, more excitement.' "

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48292-2004Aug31.html

Sounds like Moore's caused more of a stir at this convention than any of the big Gooper names so far. Hee!

[leesa]

30. This is how their irrational hysteria is used against them.

Go Michael.

[Octafish]

31. Why do conservatives hate the Truth?

Because it conflicts with their hypocrisy.

[KamaAina]

39. Because... they can't handle the truth!

George, did you order the Code Orange???

[Octafish]

41. LOL! Word!

What was Raymond doing with his hands?
How did all the Old Ladies turn into Chinese Generals?
What was Raymond doing with his hands?

[skypilot]

32. "oasis of peace"

Michael Moore was NOT trying to portray Iraq under Saddam as an oasis of peace in F9/11. The images of smiling Iraqis was simply to show that the Iraqis were people too, making the best of their lives with a brutal dictator on the one hand and an impending U.S. invasion on the other. Some of those people shown in the movie are probably dead now. But a despicable Repub like McCain wouldn't care much about that.

[americanwomanone]

34. No Surprise about McCain

McCain is just covering his butt in case BushBaby wins. He and Rudy want a good job out of this. Some people will sell their soul for next to nothing.

[Snellius]

35. McCain admitted to Tweety that he had never watched the movie

Just after his wacko stupid speech. Then he agreed with Matthews that the major theme of most of the film, that those in power are seldom the ones to sacrifice their sons and daughters in war, was basically true.

So, Faust, you lie with rotten fish, you stink too. McCain, you sold your soul, and the devil will someday come back to reclaim it.

[malachi]

40. I hate to admit it, but the chimp was right about McCain.

McCain is completely unbalanced and irrational. He's all over the place with conflicting statements. I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard. If that picture of him hugging the anti-christ doesn't give you the creeps, nothing ever will.

[nine30]

42. Licking the Boot that Kicked Him - over and over

I had some respect for McCain before, but now its all gone.He is just another oppurtunist, who's licking the boot that kicked him over and over four years ago, with his sights set toward 2008.

[lovuian]

43. I loved the L for Loser that was Awesome Moore Rocks
