Protesting him feeds both his ego and his publicity machine.

If anyone thinks that folks will prefer Moore's film to Spider-Man 2 (opening a few days later) they need their heads examined.

Moore preaches to the chior. Let him, its a free country. Be armed with the facts in one-on-one conversations. Rebut his premises.

Don't protest him. That makes him almost seem...consequential.

I'm glad my fellow patriots didn't have that attitude towards CBS and their anti-Reagan hit piece...NO THANKS!

We won't back down from a fight!

OK, I understand your thought, but you are not correct.

Under the laws of the U.S. Moore gets away with a legal form of sedition as the courts recognize free speech but have limits if there is no way to provide a counter view.

If Moore speaks and no counter view is issued, then he truly gets away with treason.

It is not only our right to counter this, it is our responsibility. It is required, not just optional to do this.

I salute the guy who is doing this and pray he gets to as many people as Moore. This is how the cosmos remains in balance, as the liberal left has taken advantage of our freedoms to use them against us.

Well .. I'd like pick your statements apart - I hope you don't mind ..??

First of all .. NOBODY's ego is fed by protests. While you might think that's true .. it's not .. trust me!

Lots of uninformed, non-political, young people will like his film. First of all it feeds the lies the dems (or their parents) have been feeding them about Bush. Why bother with a kiddy film when Moore's film is more "adult". [the kids just don't know it's really not adult]

The way to start conversations is to confront people with the truth. You can do that by protesting. People see the sign - read the comment - start talking about what they saw vs. what the sign said .. start questioning film. The choir Moore relates to won't bother to see his film .. they already hate Bush.

Protesting doesn't make anyone consequential. Ignoring someone sends a signal that nobody cares what the film is, or that the film is OKAY. We should never want people to believe this film is OKAY. This film is the worst possible type of hate speech. We cannot allow it to stand.
