'FAHRENHEIT 9/11' BAN?

** 'FAHRENHEIT 9/11' BAN?
Michael Moore may be prevented from advertising "Fahrenheit 9/11," on television or radio after July 30 if the Federal Election Commission accepts the legal advice of its general counsel. At the same time, a Republican-allied 527 soft-money group is preparing to file a complaint against Moore's film for violating campaign-finance law.

1. Considering he's making it available for download

This won't be a big issue.

Not only that, this group has backed off.

Simma down now

[sus]

7. you're a man of god. can't you throw some kind of voodoo Xtian smackdown?

[DS1]

12. Did you already forget what I just wrote?

It's all taken care of, now go to the local pond and give yourself a dunking.

[sus]

13. yeah but..when's it going to be taken care of? I don't get it.

WHAT'S HAPPENING??!!

14. Hey, watch it - that's my friend you're smiting

:mad:

15. Don't you have some popcorn to nuke?

I see your teeth grinding, you might want to put something between them...

11. are you serious?

I heard him say he doesn't care if people share pirated copies of any of his work but is he himself giving it away?

That would rock!

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Heard that on NPR today

Bunch of horsehit.

They better make it illegal to show any military, war, etc. movie during the elections, too.

Cripes, it's a frickin' documentary movie, not a campaign piece.

3. GGRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

"Did i mention how much i hate these people?"

4. Don't think this is going to happen

The free speech issue is going to stop any ban.

This will probably become one of those loopholes that is exploited down the road. Someone will make a small movie about Kerry in 2008. It will be released in 20 theaters across the country, but some RWers will spend $30 million advertising it.

I want to stress that I think Moore's movie will be better then anything RWers puts out there.

Just my thought.

5. Gee, wasn't T3 playing in theatres

last year?

[underpants]

6. Doesn't matter it opens tomorrow

The ads have reached most everyone they need to at this point. Word of mouth will do the rest and is really much better marketing. Still it is complete BS and wrong.

8. I think "The Hill" is like Weekly World News tabloid but for politics.

It is certainly not reputable. I wonder if they conjure this stuff from nowhere. Obviously, if F911 were banned, so could right-wing talk radio be silenced on the same legal basis. This will not happen.

9. Do we still live in the United States of America?

:wtf:

[LynneSin]

10. You didn't get the memo? We're the United States of Reagan

:crazy:

[trag]

16. Can't wait for the Daily Show tonight

Moore will be there and I'm sure he will have more than enough to say about it. MM ROCKS!!!

[geniph]

17. Mike'll just release it on DVD sooner

I predict damn near everyone in this country will have seen this movie by November. In fact, I intend to do my part to bring that about.
