She found the movie very compelling and said it has convinced her to vote for Kerry.

It was not the facts/lies of the movie that compelled her, it was the audience that swayed her. It's called the mass psychology of fascism. Every line that Moore uses is audience tested for reaction--just as Hitler did.

F 9/11 is dangerous when showed to a crowd. On video at home alone it would not convince or compell.

Run. Run away. Fast.

Unless she's hot. That's the thing about lib chicks - they're usually young and stupid. Thus easy marks for cads to use and abuse before they decide to settle down with a 'nice' girl. So, the Dems are good for at least one thing ...

I suppose the best refutation of it is to go line by line and see where he has his facts wrong (you'll never win an argument over why Bush continued to read to those kids after he was told of the 2nd plane crashing into the WTC).

The reason for this is pretty straightforward. Within 3.6 seconds from point he has briefed by an aide, Bush surmised the entire situation from prior vague intelligence reports, then began searching his mind for the location of his Superman suit. Bush knew that if he could remember where it was located, and find a nearby telephone booth, he could quickly put it on, fly around the earth against its rotation hundreds of times to turn back time, and then single-handedly fly in and keep the hijacked planes from ever taking off in the first place. Now where did I put my cape?

Fahrenheit 911: 9/11 :: Oliver Stone's JFK : The Kennedy Assassination

It's a movie, a work of fiction, an embarrassment.

Why would anyone, especially a lawyer, make a real life decision and base it on a product from an industry whose entire existence is dependent on projecting fantasy, special effects and make believe to enable people to escape from reality?

You know what would be the ultimate refutation of Moore?

Having him appear at the movie's opening in Baghdad and face the angry crowd he would without doubt encounter.

Definite research BTTT!

I went to see the new SpiderMan movie over the weekend. I had two criteria for the location where I would see it, and I really thought that only one of the two conditions would be met:

1. The theatre(plex) could not also be showing Fraud-n-hype 9-11;

2. The aforementioned theatre could not show the preview for Fraud-n-Hype.

Amazingly, one theatre out here on the Left Coast, in Westwood, CA (near UCLA) fit the bill--the enormous Mann Village theatre. When the previews ended, and Michael "Two Million Cheeseburgers" Moore's "movie" was not previewed, I wanted to stand and cheer.

saw the movie this weekend. It was well received by those in the audience and I thought it was an effective statement to support Moore's side of the argument.

I suppose the best refutation of it is to go line by line and see where he has his facts wrong (you'll never win an argument over why Bush continued to read to those kids after he was told of the 2nd plane crashing into the WTC).

Start with the Carlyle Group and see if Bush and his father are really as connected to it as Moore makes it appear.

Is that what Michael Moore told you to say or did you come up with that all on your own?

You mean Michael Moore's fingerprints don't already refute the movie?

My blog entry on this movie links to some of the best refutations of the movie.

http://freedomstruth.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_freedomstruth_archive.html#108957722874771168

You have to conclude from this that the movie is utter junk.

Not to continue to give it credence through continued free publicity, as you just have done.

Blame it on Clinton. Why should President Bush be held responsible for events that occurred in his first term. Those are Clinton's fault.
