Moore's film is not going to change anyones mind. His films are hardly blockbusters. All the Bush hating partisan dems and assorted Naderites will flock to this film- thats it. He will make some good money off this film. But your average theater goer isn't going to just pop in to see a "ducumentary".

I agree, but have some additional points to make...

1. Regardless of whether or not it changes anyone's mind, movies of this type are still a bad thing. The only way to show "them" that is to make one of our own.

2. Whether or not people go to see the Farenheit 911, the accusations that are made within the movie will be parroted across the entire country - by liberals and media outlets (redundant, I know). The average Joe will hear these accusations and many will be inclined to believe them without doing any fact checking for themselves. It's a sad truth.

The big problem with Moore films is that Europeans eat them up as the unvarnished truth. I've argued with enough of them to see just how widespread his reach is...

I've even ran into Euros who've seen his films in school, and no, with no countervailing voices.

So, no the film probably won't have a major effect here...but it will continue to poison our relations with Europe...

Agreed. The people who flock to this film are ones who are already convinced Bush is the devil incarnate.

Burkeman1,


Moore's film is not going to change anyones mind. His films are hardly blockbusters. All the Bush hating partisan dems and assorted Naderites will flock to this film- thats it.

He will make some good money off this film.



Most Americans view the Cannes Film Festival as an Ammoral Effeminate Self-Congratulating group of Europe's and Hollywood's far-left Artsy Crowd.

On top of that, it's completely, absurdly FRENCH, and most Americans instinctively know that HONOR abandoned France several decades ago.


Michael Moore will certainly make "some" money on his film, but probably only enough to cover Production Costs and his Porkine Living Expenses for the next two-three years.

Of course, Michael Moore's original Financial Goal was to mimic Mel Gibson's "Passion of The Christ", with Moore donating $ 100 million to defeat Bush in 2004, another $ 100 million going to feed Moore's insatiable greed, and the final $ 100 million being used to Al Franken's "Air America" propaganda network.


Make no mistake. Moore's Cannes Film Festival award was merely his (and the left's) Public Consolation Prize for having the Major U.S. Movie Distributions (Disney ?) cancel distribution of Moore's propaganda attempt.


Like his colleague John F. Kerry, Michael Moore has failed "miserably" in their attempts to poltically savage Bush.


Most Americans DEMAND a "full" U.S. Victory in Iraq, regardless of Kerry and Moore's (and the St. Pete Times) pathetic attempt to mimic Gobbel's propaganda machine.

Proof of that is the U.S. political environment after the 1968 Tet Offensive. Massive political demonstrations were the order of the day, often exceeding 100,000 persons.

That's hardly the case today.

Most Americans shrug-off Abu Gray prison after they've recalled the horrific photos of 2001-09-11, and then watch the evening news as "peaceful" Moslems murder Jewish babies and pregnant mothers by the truck load.



America will prevail in Victory in Iraq, and ultimately the entire Middle East.

Strength and Honor

...Yer right. The kind of tactics Moore uses is beneath issue oriented voters. Constructive debate, and a war of words are the best tactic. IMO...
