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

A'holes as Mickey Moore are more useful alive than dead - can be used as a bad example, as the ol' saying goes.

"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.

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

Aw, don't be like that. Let's buy him a big dozen count of Krispy-Kreme's, and a gallon of whole milk to wash 'em down.

I heard that Moore has backed out of going to Crawford tonight. Guess those "threats" got a little too threatening. Don't mess with Texas!
