Moore watches his back while in Bush Country
msnbc.msn.com ^ | July 28, 2004 | Jeannette Walls

Posted on 07/28/2004 10:28:00 AM PDT by foolscap

Michael Moore will be surrounded by more than just fans at the screening of “Fahrenheit 9/11” in Crawford, Texas tonight. The gadfly filmmaker plans to show his controversial documentary today in the town where Bush vacations, and a source says he intends on having armed guards there protecting him. As The Scoop reported earlier, Moore has been getting death threats, and a source says the situation has gotten worse. In fact, fellow filmmaker Spike Lee, while promoting his own film “She Hate Me,” has told interviewers that “they’re out to get” Moore who “has an armed guard 24/7.” Moore’s rep couldn’t be reached for comment.

Just more B.S. hype from Pigboy.

No one is stupid enough to waste their time with Moore. He will be the end of himself.

I say, send him comps and coupons to Red Robin, etc. Not that money is really an object for him any more, but the conveinence factor alone might draw him in (?)......

I hope Michael Moore has to spend every penny he made off "Fullofshit 9/11" on armed guards.

Good Lord! I'm just trying to imagine just how many armed guards would be needed to protect Moore.

Exactly. This guy is full of hot air. Someday he will bloviate himself to a natural demise - no one cares enough to hasten the process.

Why would a theater in Crawford even consider showing that trash?

Why is m m attending, other than to be "in your face" to GWB?

Hasn't m m seen the movie yet, is that why he's going?

Why doesn't m m just leave the country if he detests America as much as he says he does.

m m is a scourge.

I'm sure there are a few armed locals in the Crawford area too. If Moore had half a brain, I don't imagine he ought to be threatening any Texans with his "armed guards".

The Mexicans did the same 150 years ago and look where it got them

"having armed guards there protecting him."

So in other words he's willing to sacrifice somebody's kid's life to save his 'own' behind.

The whole Crawford Texs showing is a big put on, By the way I thought Liberals didnt like guns. I guess it depends on who is armed. I hope they are getting top pay.

You are correct in that assumption. I'm originally from that area, and I can tell you there are more than a few armed locals in that area.

Notice how everything Michael Moore does,is done to bring the spotlight on himself.

This guy will go anywhere and do anything to keep his mug in the public eye.He knows if he is not out baiting everyone with his propaganda he would not get one ounce of coverage!

He is a truly pathetic person and those that buy into his self aggrandizing views are gullible fools!

Moore is in no danger of getting shot. His bodyguards might have to look out for him choking to death on a stealth ham sandwich.

I don't think so. Hormel is too high quality for this. His carcass would be rancid anyway. He couldn't make past the inspection process. All that fat though would make a great deal of soap that could be used to wash out stuart smally's mouth and hopefully wash away the marxist leanings of today's dimbos.

1st rule in Dem Club -- Do ANYTHING to get elected
2nd rule in Dem Club -- Don't get caught doin' rule 1

tru peace...D
