Oh, this is rich! I sure hope Sg. Damon and his wife get all $85 million from Mickey Mouse moore.
I think this is awesome. There needs to be more of this.
I think he should be liable for inciting hatred of our troops overseas.
Anyone want in on the "settlement amount" pool on this one? I'm betting Miramax will pay plenty to make sure this nevers sees a court room.
I'm guessing $1.5 mil. and sealed documents--though he deserves more.
Defamation should also be part of it - he was being portrayed falsely.
The Oregon police officer, as well as many others, should also sue Moore for defamation.
This is great news! I hope this guys gets every penny he is asking for.
This is one jury I'd be happy to serve on.
Here's hoping he gets a judgment as fat as Fat Boy himself! Would I ever love to be the lawyer that gets to depose Moore. Asking all kinds of invasive questions would just be too much fun.
Will this be reported anywhere in the MSM? How about 'The Today Show' with its new liberal co-host?
Will all the Sunday Shows bring on this fine soldier and let him speak about Moore's lies?
The answer to all of the above is nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I hope the VET wins.
He is right and there are MANY who have stated the same. Without being a lawyer or self proclaimed expert though, I imagine Michael Moore (who pretends he's a common guy) will have a huge legal ante rage and can deal with these law suits well. They will hide behind "Freedom of Speech" and 'Expression". They will claim this is a "documentary" and does hence not require any consent of those in the film. They will claim "artistic freedom" bla bla bla. In the end, the burden of proof in on the service member and Michael Moore (The common guy who is anti-establishment) has millions to spend.
The real victims are the soldiers smeared by a slob who personally enriched himself by producing a (documented) factually incorrect film that was over hyped by a media that likes this sort of stuff. Besides, the MSM feeds on each other and Why did this movie win awards in Europe? Because like in Hollywood it told people what they wanted to see. There are many out there who want to believe that which he is feeding them. In fact is any Michael Moore film a masterpiece of directing, editing, special effects, or anything else? No, his market niche belongs to a crowd that is attracted by the in your face grotesque obscene color supersaturated full of obscenities 90 minute film. Bowling for Columbine was not done to help the children of Columbine. Was it a factual representation of what happened? It was a movie that was all shock and awe like Fahrenheit 911.
Michael Moore is a cadaver seeking vulture. He feeds in reality off of the meek and sick. He uses them to make himself rich and famous. He quite literally has built his existence around other peoples misery and exploiting it. Who are the real victims? Well see how this legal battle goes.
