Congratulations. You stole from the theater, made a scene, and confirmed the liberal stereotypes about conservatives who can't handle hearing a differing viewpoint. But as long as everyone else here pats you on the back, I guess it's okay.

I just had to share with my fellow Freepers what just happened to me. I made the decision to go see Fahrenheit 9-11 today because my liberal friends said to be fair I should go see the other side's argument. I finally agreed to meet 2 friends there one of which lost her uncle who was a firefighter in tower 2 in NYC.
I went wearing my Reagan/Bush 84 T-shirt...as I was walking in people could smell the sarcasm coming off of me. I DID NOT have to pay to see this film. I was coming up to the theater and it was pouring rain outside and the exit doors were open on the side with people waiting for the rain to stop. So I walked right in and met the girls inside.
I get in and people were looking at my shirt..so much so an older couple moved their seats to get away from me...unreal. So the film starts and it is all about the election and how Fox News and Bush stole it..blacks were not allowed to vote because of Jeb etc..etc..etc..same crap..different day.
I held onto the edge of my chair biting my lip so I wouldn't lose my cool so early on...it was very tough. I just wanted to reach into the screen and rip Moore apart. He is so snide and disgusting...so f-ing fake. A genius at propoganda for his party and the base.
Well I thought I was going to be able to make it through the entire film....until Iraq. When Moore had the audacity to show Iraq as a land of carnivals,kids flying kites,weddings,dancing,music,and cafe's of people eating and laughing....and "then George Bush dropped bombs on them"...SORRY!!!!!!! THAT IS WHEN I LOST MY COOL!
I got up to walk out of the theater and then I just lost it. I started yelling " HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU PEOPLE PAY TO SEE THIS ANTI-AMERICAN PROPOGANDA?","WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LIBERALS? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA SO MUCH? THIS FILM IS ALL TWISTED LIES AND ANTI-AMERICAN PROPOGANDA AND YOU ARE SITTING HERE LAUGHING!! MICHAEL MOORE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON! WHERE WAS HE DURING CLINTON SELLING THE COUNTRY OUT TO CHINA? WHERE WAS HE DURING BOSNIA? AND THE OTHER AL QAEDA BOMBINGS? THE USS COLE? THE FIRST TRADE CENTER BOMBING? TANZINA? KENYA?
WHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCE? WHAT DID YOU WANT BUSH TO DO IN THAT SCHOOL ON 9-11? HE WAS IN FRONT OF SMALL KINDS? IT'S CALLED SHOWING RESTRAINT AND CALM. THAT IS WHAT LEADERS DO!!!!!! YOU HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE EATING COOKIES TALKING ABOUT PEACE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE SAID THEY MARCH FOR THE WTO!!! THERE IS NOTHING PEACEFUL ABOUT THOSE PROTESTS!!! THEY DESTROY OUR CITIES AND HATE AMERICA! ANYONE WHO PAID TO SEE THIS FILM IS A TRAITOR TO OUR COUNTRY...GET THE F-CK OUT!
As I was in my rant...some people yelled back at me to shut up...other people were saying shhhhhhhhhh...others stood up and got management...then before I knew it 4 ushers and 2 managers came in and pulled me out of the theater while I was half way up the aisle leaving anyway.
I hope I ruined their freaking propoganda experience...they can all go to hell and die for laughing at Bush and our soldiers in time of war and us fighting for our lives against terrorism.
I was told if I returned inside for the day I would be arrested.
I said I wasn't keen on going out and protesting again for Bush this election as I am convinced half the reason I had a blood clot last year was left over stress from everything I did during 2000. But screw this...if Kerry is elected...we are so screwed it is not even funny.
Get out there and do it folks. The last thing Florida liberals needed to do was laugh at 9-11 and the surrounding circumstances....they have awoken a sleeping giant...us Protest Warriors are gonna cream them this Fall.
Frankly, I think you acted like a bit of an ass. Nothing like making all conservatives look bad. Of course, we all would like to do the same thing, but there is something to be said for subtlety.
I am generation Reagan..born in 1974...you might have heard about us...we USED to be called Generation X. The Reagan revolution will carry on...
Yes, a whole new wing of the Conservative movement. And anyone can participate -- in fact, that's the whole idea. But maybe controlled chaos should be our approach -- restrained and targeted nihilism!!!
That's the problem here. Moore was totally ready for this sort of tactic. He has already positioned himself as a truthteller who the evil Bush will send minions to try to silence. This argument of his has been all over the freakin' news since Disney passed on distributing the movie. People come to the theatre with very little other than this "fact" in mind.
Moore's arguments are being factually refuted in great detail: here, and here among other places. I have to think this information can be put to better use than screaming it while being carried out of theatres like raving lunatics. Our side needs a better image than that.
MFH--I love it! You are the greatest. Those fool commies watching the movie got the shock of their lives--There are actually people who do not swallow this filthy propaganda!
The more you say, the better you sound. Let freedom ring, brother.

EAGLES UP and BTTT from another Florida Freeper!
You done good, MFH!
Good to see you back here again.
Spit in their popcorn, get up every five minutes to take the kiddies to the restroom. Lol, if I had the money, I would take my little girl, my teenage son and all his friends. "Mom, this movies sucks....where's the blood"?
Congratulations. You stole from the theater, made a scene, and confirmed the liberal stereotypes about conservatives who can't handle hearing a differing viewpoint. But as long as everyone else here pats you on the back, I guess it's okay.

Good idea...I see a group of perhaps three Muslim-garbed people taking pictures of each person that leaves the theater. I have no idea what it means, but it would probably shake people up...perhaps they would stop to ask: "Why do these Muslims want my picture?"
I had one too, and you really don't want one. :)
Dittos!!!
Loonies shouting down loonies are still loonies.
Hahaha, like my kids say...thhhump thhhump!
Amen Snuffington.
I was surprised by the high-five-fest as well.
Ahh, the new meat that will revitalize the conservative movement after years of stagnation and neglect and subsequent attrition. But appearances were kept at all times!
What all you people don't understand is this is no longer a polite debate. People like Moore are enemies of the United States. He denounces us in foreign countries to the delight of our enemies. These people are destroying your country by any means possible and you are worried about image.
the "loonies" may well have enough votes to elect a president. when exactly would you suggest someone speak up and say something?
