Did MMoore open up a can of worms with F9/11?

[CatWoman]

will the Republicans now trail Democratic politicans with camcorders, trying to film them looking, shall we say, "not at their best"?

[malatesta1137]

1. whatever Repukes do

they won't have the truth on their side as F911 does.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

2. hahha... that was the best!

I told a friend of mine... '.. of everything they showed in F9/11... should I EVER become president PLEASE remind me to act PRESIDENTIAL at ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL times".

I think that was mainly for comedic effect, after all, we've ALL had our moments, but still... the "fool me once" being totally destroyed by the 'Leader of the Free World' is ....

welll...

3. Bring 'em on!

:evilgrin:

[achtung_circus]

4. I'm sure that the camcorders have been out for a long time.

Can of worms, well about time that someone got a package of their behaviour out where the sheeple can see it in one easily digested form.

[Love Bug]

14. They've been out a long time

I first saw Wellstone speak about 10 years ago. He pointed out "the opposition" there with their camcorders. He said they always showed up at his speaches in an effort to find things they can use against him in future campaign commercials. Nothing new here.

[clydefrand]

5. Let 'em. Can they possibly look

worse than the repugs?? Of course, all we'll see is Dems having sex because that's all the repugs are interested in that Dems do. Is that because they don't know how and are trying to learn. I heard Paul Begala say the other day after Cheney's F-u to Leahy, that that was the repugs answer to safe sex!! I loved it!

[mistertrickster]

6. Nah, if you're not in power, you can't really be much of a target.

Besides, MM didn't make Republicans "look bad"--he just showed us what they normally look like . . .

[CatWoman]

12. understood

but I'm looking beyond the present -- the Democrats will be in power soon (fingers crossed).

I'm thinking more of the footage of the Bush Cabal preening prior to going live with an interview/address to the nation.

And Wolfowitz with the spit -- disgusting.

[KittyWampus]

27. Catwoman, The Preening/Primping Made Them Look Human

maybe I get weirder reactions than most. But that kind of stuff isn't really "damaging".

It's more like, "Hey, they put their pants on one leg at a time too," stuff.

Democrats don't act like they own the universe. So what, Kerry gets some makeup.

The damaging stuff is Junior's indifference "Now watch this drive" & ineptitude- reading book upside down while NYC burns.

[CatWoman]

29. I have the exact opposite opinion

the primping and preening before getting on camera telling more and more lies made them look more like monsters to me.

[senseandsensibility]

7. I prefer to think of it as a can

of wupass. And if the repukes want to do that I can only say, in the words of *, "BRING IT ON!"

[lolly]

8. They already have

Remember Jack Ryan and his pursuit of Obama B. (what's the last name again?)

Anyway, if you're a public figure your PUBLIC acts and words are fair game--as long as they're not edited and taken completely out of context to change the meaning, as was often done with testimony by/about the Clintons.

[never cry wolf]

17. The last name is Obama

The first name is Barak

[brainshrub]

9. Let 'em

The problems I have with the BFEE are not due to the fact that one of them likes to like his comb... it's their misguided, incompetent policies.

[prodigal_green]

10. let them.

I've been saying this all along--let them come out with their own movie. The market never lies--anything they produce would sink faster than "New York Minute."

Didn't Moore (or maybe Franken) put out something asking for suggestions on what to do with his tax cut now that he, ironically, is theoretically one of the chimpministration's favorite people (being stinkin' rich from his well-attended films)?

[lovedems]

11. Don't forget, Jack Ryan had a camcorder on Obama

all the time, except when he went to the bathroom!

So I guess you can say it has already started! It didn't go over very well with the people in Illinois and Ryan had to stop. Obama was so professional!

[Eric J in MN]

18. you beat me to it. they're already doing it (nt)

nt

[Cocoa]

13. it's not symmetric

remember, the GOP depends almost entirely on lies. Exposing them is much more damaging than exposing the dems, who basically represent the people's interests and have less to hide.

[maxanne]

15. Oh boy

Maybe we should just be paralyzed with fear, and not ever do anything to offend the Republicans? :eyes:

Maybe we could just let them determine our agenda and behavior.

Oh....wait...we already do.

[CatWoman]

20. Oh, stop being like that

I'm just asking a question.

I see no need to fear them -- just to be on guard against them.

[TNMOM]

16. They already do --- in the Illinois senate race with Obama.

Bring it on.

[Mz Pip]

19. One of the RW's

criticisms of Kerry is that HE BROUGHT CAMERA TO VIETNAM. Ohmygod, he knew he was going to run for Pres in 30 years and wanted to be prepared...

And in answer to your question, yes, they will. They have been doing it for years. But then so will we...

MzPip
:dem:

[maggrwaggr]

22. my dad had a camera in 'nam and he's a RW as they get

my dad took probably thousands of pictures in nam.

He's a total right-winger.

Everybody had cameras in Nam.

[Mz Pip]

23. Maybe he needs

to run for President. <sarcasm>

MzPip
:dem:

[liberalhistorian]

21. Good point, but first, they've already been doing

that for many years and, second, NOTHING that ANY Dem does can look anywhere near as bad as Shrubya's fuck-ups!

[tishaLA]

24. I think Hannity and Drudge specialize in those tactics

and besides, if they start doing that shit, it makes them look as derivative as we already know they are.

[TexasSissy]

25. Maybe. But Dems don't pretend to have "Moral Clarity."

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

26. Ya know

I really don't think they will. The other side just doesn't seem to do things that way. I really really hate to engage in generalizations here, but I have noticed people on the left tend to be more creative and resourceful.

[cmf]

28. I was thinking of the same thing

when I spotted this thread. Great minds think alike, huh?

Anyway, they can try what they want, but we already had worse happen when Bill Clinton was prez. They're going to be gunning for Kerry with far much more, F9/11 or not.

[CatWoman]

30. great minds

:D

I wish I had Mike's mind.

I WANNA BE LIKE MIKE!!!

:D

[elperromagico]

31. As opposed to trying to remove them from office for lying about blowjobs?

Whatever Moore's doing or has done to Bush is nothing compared to what has been done to Democrats (particularly Clinton, but also Gore and many others) in the past by Republicans.

[MidwestMomma]

32. Where did the footage come from?

I hadn't heard so was curious. I thought it was probably a Bush supporter gone bad...seems like only footage a WH insider or media insider could have. But sounds like maybe not.

[checks-n-balances]

33. Rather, Did Bush/Cheney open up a can of worms by sending our troops to

invade Iraq? Actually, they blew up the can...

And God only knows what other cans he's opened in the past, or has yet to open, or what all will "come out" of this one. But whatever it is, it's rotten and it stinks to high heaven, and it cuts & hurts & it makes the rest of us smell bad.

And it's gonna take all we've got to put a lid on this mess.

I say we can 'em.

[indigobusiness]

34. We needed worming.

Boy did we need worming!

[riverwalker]

35. The primping and makeup

before going on TV to tell us we are going to war, was suppose to be like actors preparing for the stage, Moore said somewhere. It was an act, they were getting ready for their performance of "the lie". That's what he was trying to say in that scene.
