1. I love the attack the messenger plan.....
If you want to make a movie addressing the points that Moore makes in F911 and other movies then go ahead. By all means.

But by not addressing the issues he brings up, it pretty much shows that you have no case against what it is he says and what he presents to you.

3. They always reveal their plans through accusations against others
Like the Soviets, Nazis, Khmer Rouge and ALL who share the Bushevik View of Government.

I wish these assholes and slip up and tell us how "we" intend to disenfranchise new voters and what other steps "we" have taken to further defraud voters.

5. So,
Does Michael Moore hate America because he won't grant that little twit an interview?

I don't get it. I didn't see anything in the trailer that indicates Michael Moore hates America.

6. You just know this thing will be full of lies
Actual lies, distortions, slander and libel. The same thing the author claims about Moore. Ironic, doncha think?

Honestly I think it'll be funny to see this little hack-documentary if he ever finishes it.

8. Ummm....I have a question...
Assuming he actually DID hate America...

Who CARES? Is Michael Moore not allowed to hate America? There are times when I hate America (although I'm not famous and thus no one cares if I hate America). Where is it written you have to love a country just because you happened to be born there anyway? That's is so utterly ridiculous and I'll NEVER understand it...:eyes:

(Not trying to invoke the flaming here, but this whole *YOU MUST LOVE AMERICA* lockstep nonsense is really fucking tedious.)

15. Hey Dolo,
I actually really apprecaite your comment. To be honest, I'm sick of the whole thing too. I will say that I *desperately* WANT to love my country, I don't always do so, and I refuse to do so if the country is doing wicked things. I praise it for the good that it does and has done, and I condemn it for the bad. Where I am any given day on the Love-Hate meter depends on what's going on.

Needless to say I haven't been very proud to be an American at any point I can think of since President Carter won the Nobel Prize. Now that should have been a national holiday.

/cheer Jimmy

Anyway, thanks again for the honesty!

david

9. I don't get the point- definitely killing the messenger.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt...

10. how cute!
All his ideas are just repackaged versions of Moore's. Oh, that's *so* funny! His little picture is just like the cover of "Roger and Me."

11. i actually wrote an article after i saw this (since been removed)
entitled Michael Wilson Sleeps With Dead Children. The article, like the movie, had nothing to do with the title. I ended up blasting Sean Hannity for some stupidity.

13. It'll get distributed
Some neo-con fundie will back the film and remember - The Carlye Group now owns the Loews Theater group, so it'll get some movie theaters to play.

But will it sell 21.8million dollars its opening weekend? Well maybe 1% of that, if they're lucky.

17. I was technically at both of those protests
THe top one is from the "March for Choice on April 25th in Washington DC. The bottom one was at the Anti-War rally on October 26th, 2002, the freepers held their own rally and that is all that attended. The hoot was C-Span televised that lark!
