Limbaugh claimed Moore is in league with the carlisle group

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

because they loews thatres. he said that if carlisle was so bad, they would have banned the film

what pillboy forgot to tell his audience is that the deal with carlisle and loews is only A WEEK OLD! and that any agreement between moore and loews to show the film was made long ahead of time and had to be honored

[agates]

1. Huh?

Limballz is really losing it. That is beyond lame.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. he also called mike a 'war profiteer'

for making 24 million

he neglected to mention that mike opposed the damn war when making this analogy

[hackwriter]

2. The deal took place on 6/24

This was AFTER the film opened. Obviously the Carlyle Group wants to be able to prevent something like this from happening again. Keep your eyes open for them to acquire other theatre chains.

4. Desperation.

They bought the theaters after it was determined that the film's release was unstoppable.

18. Sheer , Unadulterated Desperation n/t

[BlueEyedSon]

5. Plus, Loews/Carlise is making $$$$ on the deal

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

6. His (Rush's) lameness knows no bounds. n/t

[dpbrown]

7. Carlyle

Let's identify the evil correctly so people can google properly.

[Justitia]

8. ha, ha - he is completely sotted

Rush is definitely back on the smack!
His desperate paranoia is showing.

[killbotfactory]

9. What do you expect from a pill-popper like Rush?

The guy's got his head firmly planted up his own ass.

[Hubert Flottz]

10. And his snorter planted up Bush's ass!

Maybe Bush can find a place for that stupid pig at the Hog Ranch when they get run outta' town!

[gratuitous]

11. Boy has the cheese ever fallen off this cracker!

The real story, which someone else mentioned, is that Carlyle, seeing a buck being made from all the misery caused by their front man in the White House that they didn't have their greedy, bloodstained mitts on, bought the Loews Theater chain so they could snag a little more in addition to the billions they've already ripped off the taxpayers for.

12. Wow, getting away with Felony Posession and Doctor Shopping

has crazed Pillboy badly.

You'd think he'd be happy and satisfied at having gotten away with a SEVERE FELONY.

[malatesta1137]

13. don't forget Money Laundering.

someone here has it right. Carlyle bought Loews so Moore's next film, or any film they don't like, isn't distributed.

[tom_paine]

14. Of course.

15. Read this, Rush. Moore targets Carlyle

From the Guardian:

Not content with lambasting the Bush administration, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 is now poised to bite the very hand that feeds it - albeit inadvertently.
One of Moore's prime targets is the Carlyle Group, a Washington DC-based investment firm that allegedly links the Bush and Bin Laden families. The trouble is that the company recently became co-owner of the very cinema chain due to screen Fahrenheit 9/11 across America.

On its US release this Friday, Moore's film will play on 59 screens of the Loews cinema chain. But Variety reports that the chain is now part-owned by the Carlyle Group, a defence contractor that Moore derides as a war profiteer with extensive ties with the Bin Ladens and the Saudi royal family. The first president Bush worked as a highly paid adviser to the company, while James Baker - chief of staff under Ronald Reagan - is currently employed as a senior counsellor.

Yesterday the film's independent distributor, Lion's Gate Films Releasing, appeared to be steering clear of the controversy, claiming that they were not even aware of the Carlyle Group's involvement in the Loews chain. "Loews has been very supportive," said Lion's Gate president Tom Ortenberg.

16. Sounds like Rush got his news from Newsmax. . . .

That was one of their trumped up bullshit leads today.

[Forkboy]

17. Excellent

By portraying Moore in cahoots with them it makes both look bad.The right already hates Moore,so that's no big deal.But they'll start thinking twice about Carlyle,and that's good.

Thanks for the help Pillboy!! :hi:
