[LittleApple81]

1. It is not fair and balanced work of journalism.

He says that he wants Bush out.
WH says that is so outrageous they don't want to talk about it.

[Eloriel]

38. It's not INTENDED to be "fair and balanced journalism"

However, it IS factual. Anyway, that's like criticizing an apple because it's not an orange. I guess that's called straw man argument.

[LittleApple81]

2. He is not going to take any shit (basically, not his words).

The left has been taking shit for too long. He is not going to do that.

[LittleApple81]

3. George saying the flight of Saudis and bin Ladens. Suggesting

that the flight was not when the air space was closed and the 9/11 commission says that the flights that took these people took place after the air space was open. MICHAEL said those were CHARTER flights which were not authorized yet.

[LittleApple81]

4. George says: you are making an outrageous claim that

Bush went easy on Bin laden OUTRAGEOUS claim accoding to George Ste.
Michael says absolutely Bush did, if you pay me 1.5 billion I will go light on you too.
Only 3 were screened.

[ClassWarrior]

29. Only 30 were screened out of over 140.

But that's still bad.

[LittleApple81]

34. Thanks for the correction. When I try to type and watch and think...

something has to give. But I know DUers are on top of things.
Thanks again.

[mike1963]

5. I'm REAL PISSED at Steph

:grr:
:grr:
:puke:

[LittleApple81]

6. Me too. WHAT AN ASSHOLE. OUTRAGEOUS statements. What!!!!

Showing the congressman that says that two nephews were in Afghanistan. HE DIDN'T. HE IS LYING. Michael has the raw footage and the transcript to prove it.
He has a war room to counter all these claims.

[still_one]

7. I won't even watch that ass

ABC has been a shrill for this administration for a long time. Moore is finally doing the job that the media wasn't. I hope Disney, Esiner, and Step, have their jobs off-shored...

[Cheswick2.0]

18. I have been pissed at George Snufalupagus since the impeachment

He jumped ship and then wrote about how hurt he was. Apparently the whole thing was all about him and his career.
Screw you Georgie.

[LittleApple81]

20. Love your name for him! LOL!!!!

[LittleApple81]

8. Responsibility you have during a war??? WTF George!!!!! ????

He is showing things that Americans have not seen.
If the media had done its job asking question and investigating the Bush statements this war would not have happened.
THE MEDIA IS GUILTY!!!!
Why did you, the media, don't ask the question.
George says: critics are going to say "You hate America."
He said that is outrageous: this movie proves I LOVE AMERICA.

[Union Thug]

9. Stephanopolous is a..

backstabbing little twit. Don't expect anything productive from this turncoat.

[LittleApple81]

11. But I am glad that Michael put the responsibility on his and the other

media whores' shoulders for not informing the people or questioning the BushCo at all before the war.

[hlthe2b]

27. That was Moore's most effectve part of the entire interview IMO

laying the responsibility for Bush* lies and the corrupt war right back on the fawning lazy press.

Moore is smart enough to know the US press is going to be on the attack with him, given their own complicency and defensiveness. Go, Michael!

[kaitykaity]

41. Yes it was.

Stephie didn't have an answer because he knew MM had
him and all the other corporate media whores nailed.

[rumguy]

10. the corporate media whores are genuinely afraid of this movie

they don't know what to do with Moore...they're confused....

[still_one]

12. How is Moore doing?

Is he putting pretty boy in his place?

[LittleApple81]

13. He did great. But then Stephanopolous showed the statement from

the congresscritter that appeared on the movie. This congresscritter said the Michael was correct, but that he had not shown in the movie the statments made at the end of the interview where he mentioned that he had a nephew on HIS WAY to Afghanistan.
THEY ARE TRYING, BY ANY MEANS, TO SILENCE MICHAEL MOORE.

[still_one]

14. Thanks

By the way Afghanistan is not Iraq...

Why did we go into Iraq?

[still_one]

16. The neo-cons must be going crazy

There is nothing they can do to stop this...

[LittleApple81]

17. Isn't it great? HE AIN'T TAKING ANY OF THE REPUG CRAP!!!!

[LittleApple81]

19. And, I don't know if it came through in my reporting, but George was

speechless when Michael said it was the fault of the press for not asking questions of BushCo when going into the Iraq war WHEN THEY CAN ASK QUESTIONS and it is their duty to the nation!!!!

[Randypiper]

25. I got chills

when Moore said to him "You can ask any question, any question, you can't be arrested for it." then long silence.

[rumguy]

21. MM turns the freepers into frothing rabid pigs

I"ve never seen any group of people hate any one person like the freeptards hate MM. It's quite comical. Most of their rebuttal of MM's points consists of calling him fat...but the bile that goes along with it is alarming. I hope that MM has some security.

[Gildor Inglorion]

22. I hope he doesn't do any flying in a small private plane...

we don't need any more liberal voices silenced in "tragic accidents."

[LittleApple81]

23. On this Canadian interview, the interviewer asked him if he had

obtained protection (A Canadian would ask that, wouldn't him... an Amerikan reporter would never, never, never do that). He said that yes, the studio had hired protection for him.

[JohnyCanuck]

24. He does have security

See this interview he gave a Canadian TV station a few days ago. He mentions he now has security people travelling with him.

[hlthe2b]

30. I watched that and immediately emailed MM a short note of support...

If others do so, please make a clear supportiv subject line, and keep it brief. His email system and server are getting attacked constantly, so it is important to not overload his system and to let any spam blocker clearly tell that your email is not part of the Freeper attack.

I also emailed him immediately (seconds after BBC reported his Cannes win) and I know it went through... But, I noted that within hours his system was overloaded and nothing would go through (probably both positive and negative overload).

[Columbia]

46. He's had bodyguards for a long time

nt

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

28. Erm, Clinton, and Hilary too. n/t

[LittleApple81]

15. I don't know if you can get transcripts of Moore's interview, but it would

be worth reading for those who did not get a chance to watch it. HE AIN'T TAKING ANY SHIT, NO SIREE!!!

[UTUSN]

26. He Was Absolutely Great!

He fearlessly beat back Georgie's assaults, did not GIVE AN INCH!!!!!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. So has Mike been on CBS yet?

We'll get to see Matt Lauer's attack tomorrow on NBC. We've seen GS's attack today on ABC. Has Mike been interviewed on CBS yet? Is there ANY hope that one major network will just interview him, instead of attack him? HE WON THE FUCKING PALM D'ORE!!!

[LittleApple81]

33. Actually DAVID LETTERMAN did a pretty good job. Did you see that?

CBS is on 60 minutes. I get it at 6 p.m.

[TexasBushwhacker]

35. Unfortunately no

I heard Letterman was pretty tough on him, which I wouldn't have really expected. I mean shit, it's an ENTERTAINMENT show, not investigative journalism. Even so, Dave is better than Leno any day.

[redstateblues]

47. Letterman is with us!

[rumguy]

32. kick for the west coast

[donhakman]

36. Mike said

30 of the 140 bin Ladens were screened by the FBI
not 3

[LittleApple81]

37. Yeah... somebody corrected me on that... but it is too late to change the

thread... Watching, typing, listening, and thinking... something got to give.

[DemonFighterLives]

39. Some discrepancy over the questions to Kennedy

Michael Moore said that when he talked to him, he never had any relatives in Iraq. He says he has the film and transcripts to support him. After Michael is off, George puts up some sort of transcript saying that the guy has a nephew headed to Afghanistan.
I trust Moore over these whores anyday.

[LittleApple81]

42. He said that at the time they talked, he had no relatives in Iraq.

He still has no relatives in Iraq. After the interview, his nephew went to Afghanistan.

[DemonFighterLives]

45. I kind of see the differences

But stephanie left all the world hanging on the quotes that Michael "got wrong". -short circuit

[faithnotgreed]

40. here in dc "this week" shows again at 8 pm sunday

cant wait to see it

[Shopaholic]

43. Isn't it interesting that Georgie Boy asked some of the same Q's that Matt

Lauer did in his interview--specifically, about the Bin Laden & other prominent Saudi citizens leaving the U.S.--why it's almost like they were reading off the same script or something. How much you wanna bet they got the fax/e-mail "official" list of questions from the White House?

[LittleApple81]

44. It screams "obvious". Mike was right on calling George

on the media's fault in all of this mess. George was speechless after that statement. No refutation, no discussion. He could have said: "Not true. I did ask tough questions." But he couldn't because he has been using "THE MEMO" from Norquist and Co. the same as all others.
