I didn't know Lila was going to be on today, I can't wait.

7. She was originally interviewed by Newsweek
after her son's death, but was "bumped" by the Jessica Lynch story. When it appeared later, Moore was shown the article by one of his crew.

She's still patriotic, but now realizes one must question the actions of the government.

8. Defending MM
Saying she had full editorial control over the scenes she was in.

Says she is still very patriotic but understands it's OK to ask questions. Says she'll still steer kids into the military because she believes it's a good option.

Gets lots of email and positive comments from the public re: her appearance in the movie.

9. What a remarkable woman!
What she gets from her public appearances is real emotion, and warmth from the people she meets.

13. This is what pisses me off
She learned of her son's death via phone.
Couldn't they even spare someone to come to her house???

15. As she just sald on O'Franken —
It's quite obvious that this administration doesn't care at all for those at the lower part of the economic scale...

14. Wow
I'm almost speechless listening to this.

It may be one of the most meaningful moments in radio that I've ever heard. I'm blown away by this woman's courage.

I should hasten to say that I haven't yet seen the film, but had heard about her part in it.

They're talking about her son's early disillusionment w/ the invasion, starting in the Jan prior. The lack of consensus, and the cynical use of trumped allegations by the admin as justification.

She says how she gets strength from the fact that her story has brought grown men to tears.

Shot down the charge that MM has taken advantage of her loss for his own devises. Says he couldn't have been more sensitive to her emotional needs.

I think Franken's proving what a real human being he is.

17. Lipscomb Quote
Asked by a caller if she thought there was any truth to the charge that MM is "unamerican".

"Micheal Moore is one of the strongest believers in America that I've ever met"

19. What is great about her (besides the obvious)
is how gentle and soft-spoken she is. Contrast that to the rightwing radio and tv personalities who just rage and talk over everyone. This is one classy lady and they would call her anti-American. She has every right to be angry and loud, yet, she's calm and composed and kind, even to those who would criticize her.

20. Re Wolfiwitz
She's appalled that he didn't know how many had died in Iraq when questioned by the senate. She mentioned the latest figure of 858, and choked up when saying 3 more mothers just yesterday had to go through what she's been through. "Ask me, I know" she says about what it's like.

If there's this much emotion coming through an internet stream, I can only imagine the impact the film has.
