Challenge to Moore-bashers (Moore reaches his target audience) BARF ALERT

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | July 11, 2004 | Letter to the editor

[Chi-townChief]

I am only 15 years old, but I saw ''Fahrenheit 9/11.'' I came out of the movie and thought about it. Wow, this man (President Bush) is leading our country -- how depressing! I do believe that everyone should be required to see this movie.

Another thing: Michael Moore said that if anyone did not like this movie it did not matter, because it was all fact. So I challenge you people that hated this movie, what was not true?

No you didn't. Your emotions were manipulated exactly as intended, unfettered by any attempt on your part to consider the fact that most of the movie is fiction.

I do believe that everyone should be required to see this movie.

Ah, forced indoctrination. That's what nazis and communists do, little girl.

Dear Sarah

I'm with you. Micheal Moore really is a genius. A marketing genius. He knew if he made a made a movie for dull ignorant people that think little thoughts and blame the world for their problems, he would make a lot of money. While he claims to be a protector of the the powerless against big evil capitalists, this movie has pulled in millions of dollars from the dim- witted ignorant fools -hum I mean powerless people.

He thanks you for the support and your money.

Regards.

aghhh yes..... fifteen and so smart , of course I guess 15 is about the mental IQ level of most liberals so why am I acting suprised?

Between William O'Rourke's idiotic defense of Moore, and Roger Ebert's evasive response to a reader querying about his unquestioning lapping up of Moore's lies (Ebert simply sneered at the reader, asking if he questioned Bush about the WMDs), this is actually one of the more intelligent commentaries in today's Sun-Times.

Little totalitarian, isn't she?

Mr. Moore has freedom of speech (although he can face consequences for the treason of aiding and comforting the enemy in a time of war, he can face consequences for receiving money from the terrorist organization Hezbollah, and he can face consequences if someone would chose to sue him for libel).

Just as Axis Mikey has the freedom of speech, I have the freedom to shut him out (I don't have to listen to his speech). This little dictator doesn't believe in that freedom.

[T'wit]

Liberals love Michael Moore's film precisely because it is NOT a documentary. It is a "cause" film presenting a point of view instead of sticking to fact. In short, it is propaganda.

Earlier this year, Mel Gibson released his blockbuster film, "The Passion." That was a real documentary, a meticulously researched and factual account of the crucifixion of the Christ.

When liberals boast about how successful Fahrenheit 9/1l has been, they are wrong both in claiming that it's a documentary and that it's anywhere near as successful as The Passion.

Could me that Sarah is 45 and in the psycho ward at Oak Forest Hospital. All that newspapers ask with letters to the editor is that you give them an address and a phone # to be reached to confirm it's "you." The media really fawns over the "it's a kid" emotional pull.

As the election gets closer, the left is increasing the drum beat that a "large majority" opposed George W. Bush in the 2000 election.

George W. Bush: 50,460,110
Albert Gore Jr.: 51,003,926
Total votes: 105,417.258
Difference between Gore and Bush: 543,816 votes (0.5158% difference)

The "popular vote" was a draw (half of one percent difference).

They've also been quick to exclude concert films and IMAX films from the documentaries F911's box office take is compared with.

Why? Because a concert film/band documentary comes with a ready audience of fans? Because few IMAX films are shown in "regular" theaters (I know of at least one multiplex in town with an IMAX screen)?

Another thing: Michael Moore said that if anyone did not like this movie it did not matter, because it was all fact.

Never rely on one source when researching information for a debate (especially one as biased as Axis Mikey).

[an amused spectator]

Dear Sarah:

Your letter has lifted my spirits immeasurably. It appears as though the efforts of the NEA to turn this country's children into complete and utter reasonless morons has succeeded in your case.

I'll never have to worry about competing with you, and those like you, for any job requiring analytical skills beyond knowing when to pull up the basket of fries.

I'll have extra ketchup with mine, please. ;-)

She's still got three years to grow up. Once 18, she'll either be a bottom feeding left wing failure with a deadly disease , addiction, or a dozen kids without fathers (if she continues on her current path), or an honorable Republican and intelligent adult, wise enough to know communist propaganda when she sees it.
Lets hope her parents ground her for a month for going to see a skanky "hate her country" film such as Moores. That is, if she has parents (I'll bet she's the kid of an unwed mother, otherwise, she'd know better by now).

[concerned about politics]

I am only 15 years old

She does have the typical psychological maturity as the rest of liberal base. None have mentally matured past their young teen years.

"So anyways Michael Moore went, 'Bush is off the hizzle' and then so I went 'Cool.' And then Jennifer went 'Cheney sucks. Who jacked his @ss?' So I went 'Whatever. Let's go get baked biatch. So Jenn went 'Let's roll. But we ain't buyin from Rudy. He be slingin swagg.'"

[RockinRight]

Let's hope this girl wises up with age.

[RedWing9]

Sorry to say this girl is a south suburbanite.

And she's in my frickin' town!!! Forgive me Lord for the sinful thoughts I have right now about this helpless mind!!

[RedWing9]

LMAO!

[HungarianGypsy]

This little girl probably things reality tv is factual also.

As I recall, Triumph of Will was mostly a visual presentation, directed mainly at presenting heroic images of Hitler and similarly heroic view of "superior" Aryan Germans and massed troops at a huge rally (Nuremburg, I think). It's dialogue was devoted mainly to Hitler's and other top Nazi's rants, a lot of "Heil Hitlers," plus the Horst Wessel song. I found it notable for the dramatic nature of its photography. Seen long after the demise of Hitler and the Nazis, it is easier to look ar it from a purely cinematic point of view, and even as art, albeit in a perverted form. I do think Riefensthal (sp?) was an artist. I doubt if that will ever be said of Moore and his crapola.
