"Oh, please. The movie accuses conservatives of attempting to exercise censorship over people who disagree with them. Any attempt to silence Moore will only give him more ammunition."

Read my post above.

We see this totally different.

I am exercising MY right to free speech just as Michael Moore is.

You are choosing to exercise your right not to speak. I've no problems with that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some talking to movie theater owners to do. Thanks! :)

"Best way to deal with this movie is simply not to go see it. Ignore it entirely. Any publicity will help Moore, not hurt him."

Bump. Anything else is supporting Moore.

[Impeach98]

The movie is being shown on more than 1,000 screens, more than any documentary in history.

Moore will make plenty of money off of this and likely set another record for highest grossing documentary thanks to what will be the next two weeks of unlimited free press from the liberal news media and the gucci entertainment press.

Care to make a friendly FReeper wager on how much the film will gross? It will top Bowling for Columbine with the media it's already gotten. Profit from America-bashing. Disgusting. (MMoore, not you).

Let me know about the friendly FReeper wager!

Don't go see it; carry a big magnet in your pocket when you pass videotape copies of it...

Oh I (and a number of others at Move America Forward) agree that this is a great response. That's why we linked to the website you posted on the Michael Moore page of our website!

I honestly don't think Michael Moore can influence public opinion any further than those liberals that need a regular fix of despair.
We've witnessed these last few days what the vast majority of America respects and admires: an optimist, not a pessimist - confidence and hope, not doubt and despondence.
In other words, Americans are most receptive to the message of Ronald Reagan, not misery-peddlers like Michael Moore.

"We need to adopt new tactics.

Don't stop Michael Moore's production...find ways to make it extremely EXPENSIVE.

There is a double-bonus in draining the coffers of evil."

I prefer to adopt the approach of a free-market economy and tell those who own the movie theaters that as a consumer I don't want them profitting from anti-Americanism.

[Impeach98]

Wow - you just said exactly how I feel.

Can you imagine if this had been a piece going after John Kerry. The FEC would have put it under McCain-Feingold and said it was a political ad and subject to campaign finance limitations.

Exactly right. He's gonna get his publicity from the left anyway. And the theaters that are gonna carry it are doing so because they agree with him. The only thing conservative noise will accomplish is to give him yet more publicity. Stay quiet, let the statistically miniscule number of leftists go see it, and let that be that. Silence in this instance is not capitulation, but smart strategy.

Again - read my response to that post. I respect the other view.... honestly... but the kitty kat approach to put our paws in front of our eyes and pretend that a wholescale political advertisement is not about to be pushed and promoted to the American public as truth will not make it go away.

If the media were fair and unbiased then I would follow your advice.

But they are not, and Moore will get all the free publicity he wants. The question is whether the only voice in this 'national debate' will be Moore and his followers.

I'm sorry, but while you may choose to be silent, I do not. It's the perfect "balance" to Moore's right of free speech.

The hairy hand of the Clintons is all over the Michael Moore movie. Clinton/Gore hangmen, Kahane and Fabiani, have been hired by MiraMax to perform "war room" duties and attack anyone who criticizes Moore or the movie. It's also interesting to note that Moore's agent is Rahm Immanuel's brother.

"Don't go see it; carry a big magnet in your pocket when you pass videotape copies of it...

Aaaah, breaking the law would make me no better than Moore. I prefer to counter Moore's 'free speech' with the speech of myself and millions of other Americans.

Moronic.

It's free speech.

If you don't like it, don't see it or rent it.

"In other words, Americans are most receptive to the message of Ronald Reagan, not misery-peddlers like Michael Moore."

If only that were the case. Unfortunately it takes someone as extraordinary as Reagan to overcome the rant of "the world is over" from Moore and his ilk.

If you don't believe me then read this:

I think what would be more productive than a campaign to "Stop" Michael Moore would be a campaign to publicly, openly inform film critics (by name) of the elaborate, intentional lies and distortions of Bowling For Columbine before the release date of Fahrenheit, and alert them to the lies in the new movie (most notably his presumption that it was Bush who sent the bin Laden family out of the U.S. rather than new left-wing icon Dick Clarke). This would practically dare them to review the film without acknowledging the truth, and let them know there will be consequences to their reputation if they ignore the facts.

More on this later.

[Impeach98]

I put this part in big bold to pre-empt people from going to the place you went to.

Please Note - We note Mr. Moore's constitutional right to free speech. What we also acknowledge that Mr. Moore and his backers seem uncomfortable with is that the millions of Americans who are offended by his lies, his attacks on our troops and our president have the right to speak up and say what we think about his "documentary" to the people who will profit from showing it.

Thanks - and no need for the "moronic" part. You can disagree and still be agreeable about it.

[Impeach98]

We've already been working on that. This is part of our media campaign as it relates to the film. The above addresses the grassroots component.

Oh - and there are already documented inaccuracies with Fahrenheit 9/11 as well.

"It's the perfect "balance" to Moore's right of free speech."

And the perfect support for the publicity he needs to sell his screed.
