Offers to Help Promote “Fahrenheit 9/11”
(SACRAMENTO/SAN DIEGO/SAN FRANCISCO) –The terrorist group Hezbollah has reached out to distributors of Michael Moore’s anti-military propaganda flick, “Fahrenheit 9/11” with an offer to help promote the film.
The report of Hezbollah’s involvement came in Thursday’s London newspaper, The Guardian, with the headline, “Fahrenheit 9/11 gets help offer from Hezbollah.” Hezbollah’s endorsement underscores the argument made by Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org) that Moore’s movie is designed to undermine support for the war on terrorism.
Earlier this week, Move America Forward Vice Chair Melanie Morgan (radio talk show host on San Francisco’s KSFO AM 560), had declared: “It would be more appropriate to have this propaganda shown at Al Qaeda training camps rather than American movie theaters.” Morgan’s statement was met by howls of protest from Moore’s associates.
Move America Forward Chairman, Howard Kaloogian, today offered an apology in regards to Morgan’s comment:
“I regret that we limited our comments solely to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda and failed to mention that other terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, would also rally behind this film."
“Fahrenheit 9/11 serves one purpose and one purpose only: to undermine the United States' war against terrorism. This is precisely why Move America Forward has asked Americans to register their dissatisfaction with movie theaters that choose to show this film.
“Now is the time for Americans to stand united behind the men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to preserve our safety and national security, not promote the agenda of radical terrorist organizations like Hezbollah,” Kaloogian concluded.
Hezbollah is a Middle East based terrorist organization, which according to the U.S. State Department has killed more than 300 American citizens in terrorist attacks. The group is blamed for the October 23, 1983 attack on a U.S. marine barracks in Lebanon. Move America Forward Vice Chair, Melanie Morgan, covered the horrific attacks as a young radio reporter. Deaths of those marines deeply impacted her and underscored her commitment to fighting terrorism.

Ok...I'm a fairly simple guy, but lets see if I understand the situation in post 9/11 America.
The terrorists have sworn to kill Americans and "Americans" means you and your friends and family and me and mine.
Bush and the Republicans are fighting the terrorists.
The Democrats are fighting the Republicans.
And the terrorists are siding with the Democrats.
Elections are in November.
Thank you for the site. Any Democrat that mentions Abu Garif to me will get this Web site in an e-mail.
There is a video lower in the list that shows Iraqi guards beating with whips and clubs some prisoners. Much worse to me than panties on their heads...hey, but maybe I just don't understand how Arab manhood is more important than a lost arm, tongue, head, etc. But that's just me, I guess.
THE REAL TORTURE VIDEO
The New York Times continues to plaster their front page with stories about alleged American abuses at Iraqi prisons. But what happens when a video surfaces showing graphic images of the cruel, sadistic, horrible abuse inflicted on innocent Iraqis under Saddam's tyrannical reign? Haven't seen or heard much about that lately, have you? The New York Post's Deborah Orin talks about that in her column today, and mentions that Scarborough Country is one of only a few media outlets willing to look into the matter.
