A jury trial would be fatbastard's worst nightmare in this case...

Not if he gets an OJ jury.

[raccoonradio]

>>Is this the same Veteran who was in Farenhype 911?

Probably!

[4rcane]

how is it possible for Moore to just grab footages of someone without their permission and put it in his movie and make a profit out of other people's image

[ErnBatavia]

Looking at closeups like that, you can almost smell him...

[BlueStateDepression]

Ha Ha nice one Brilliant.
Indeed his only way out is to claim that F9 11 was "art" or "fiction" or his "opinion".

I love it when folks like Michael Moore paint themselves into a corner and then have to sit there and watch the paint dry!

[4rcane]

"I'm dying to hear Michael Moore's defense: "It's fiction."

Then he'll have to pay an actor's wages to him

[CAWats]

>Anyone know if he has set up a PayPal for his legal expenses? I would contribute in a heartbeat.

Same here.

[machogirl]

I remember when the libs were all "upset" that the Republicans were using JFK's own words in a TV ad, they were whining that it was done without permission, where are the whiners now?

[Abathar]

If he has a case there will be hundreds of lawyers that will take it for 1/3 plus expenses. He won't have to pay a dime.

[wizardoz]

Wow. That is incredibly unethical that Moore used his words that way. Incredibly unethical. I knew he was scum but I didn't think he was such cynical, deliberate, ghoulish scum.

Under the guise of a 'documentary' or 'news program' I would speculate - won't hold up in court I expect.

[ishabibble]

I've had this same thought since the Mary McCarthy/Dana Priest/NYT leaking and prize winning.

Is it possible for an average citizen to sue these people for violation of civil rights? By leaking this information and helping the terrorists gain knowledge of what our defensive strategies are, didn't these parties endanger every, but more specifically, any U.S. citizen? What if someone walked into the ACLU office in NYC and said that they were suffering from the treasonous acts of these people? Would that be enough for the ACLU to file suit to protect the rights of one citizen?

It worked for one atheist.
It worked for one pedophile.
Would it work for one average clerk who works in a cubicle in a skyscraper in NYC?

[raccoonradio]

gives many examples of him distorting statements...

[BlueStateDepression]

See why people dislike lawyers so much? 1/3 is rediculous, especially in this situation as it should be done PRO BONO because this fella's service affords that lawyer to practice his craft to begin with.

[rlmorel]

I guess I knew that. I just felt like I wanted to contribute money to something that will cause that fat, sloppy son of a btch some pain or discomfort, or at least take some or all of his property away.

I was also hoping to find a way to let this guy know I support him 100%.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Is this when the Left, who typically view lawsuits as a Socialist method of wealth redistribution, suddenly start raising the cry for tort reform?

Kudos, Sgt. Damon. I hope you win and the jury awards you every dime.

[bilhosty]

Good luck. I fhtat lard a$$ Moore has to go on food stamps good for him.

[God luvs America]

no more...Disney sold Miramax.

There was a court battle with the slimebag Fienstein (?) brothers who started Miramax and named it after their parents (Mira & Max)...I believe Disney sold the company but was able to let the Fienstein fags keep the name...anyway good for this veteran in sooo many ways...

[tkathy]

Hope he gets every penny. And hope a lot of others sue MM out of existence.
