2. One repub on Hardball was saying F911 is not factual. He
gave an example - when the bin Ladins were flown out of the US. He said in the film that Mr. Moore claims it was before the ban on aircraft was lifted, but in actuallity, it was after. WRONG!!!

What is it with repubs and facts!!! Do they ever check anything before they open their mouth!

6. I love the last line in the article:
My guess is that their efforts will backfire and only rally support for the film, which will be terrific as far as I'm concerned," said Tom Ortenberg, president of Lions Gate Films, which is distributing the movie. "We need less censorship in this country, not more."

7. What a stupid headline - spin a little more! They are trying to censor it!
Yahoo and AP love to make conservatives look good and anyone who doesn't kiss Bush's ass look bad.

They aren't "countering" anything, they are making death threats on theater owner's to try to get them not to show the movie.

Imagine Yahoo using the headline "Castro Counters Bloggers" when Castro threatens to kill bloggers who publish anti-government material.

Yahoo is very bad about spinning headlines to the right.

8. LOL. The logo for the republican party should be an ostrich.
With it's head down in a hole.

Why have conservatives, throughout history, been so quick to censor the dissemination of free information? They have censored and burned books, arrested groundbreaking scientists, murdered people with different religious beliefs, censored scientific advances, censored artwork, etc. ad nauseum.

Are they just plain stupid or are they so fearful of change that they are unable to accept anything that challenges their world view?

It's really pathetic.

11. And on top of that, they claim to be moralistic
they are sanctimonious in their claim of being self-righteous, superior and God-fearing.

I don't think they are plain stupid as a whole, or fearful of change. I think they just want things done their way, and to hell with what other people may think or feel. They are bullies, who cry victim-hood when other sides exert their rights. They are hypocrites.

Anyone who claims to be moralistic, God-fearing and patriotic while trampling upon the rights of others are hypocritical bullies.

I no longer have patience. After witnessing their low threshold regarding the integrity of the Presidential office (Clinton) and they still choose to follow Bush* after all the information reported in the hearings and in the news; as far as I'm concerned they are complicit in all the atrocities this administration has inflicted upon this nation and this world.

This is my country too, damn it, and I'll be damn if I'll let them bully me any further!
