Bash America filmmaker Michael Moore is about to unleash an attack on the U.S. Military, the heroic men and women of the Armed Forces and our Commander-In-Chief via his film Fahrenheit 9/11.
Inexplicably, more than 1,000 theaters have indicated they will proudly broadcast what The Guardian calls an anti-war/anti-Bush film beginning June 25th. And the number keeps growing each day. The goal of the film is abundantly clear: to undermine the war on terrorism.
Moore has said the following about the film:
Half the movie is about Iraq we were able to get film crews embedded with American troops without them knowing it was Michael Moore. They are totally f***ed.
After it was pre-screened, one Blame American First viewer cried, It made me wanna burn my passport.
Apparently there are dollar signs in their eyes too.
Michael Moore and his anti-American film distributors are hoping to cash in to the tune of millions of dollars and also change U.S. politics. One British paper noted that Moore hopes that it will bring down the U.S. government.
So why are mainstream movie theaters involved in promoting a political advertisement that defames our military, insults our troops and attempts to undermine the publics support for the War on Terror?
Why are movie theaters showing political propaganda that should be governed by Federal Elections Commission regulations on campaign finance?

MORE COMMENTS BY AND ABOUT MICHAEL MOORE AND HIS FILM FAHRENHEIT 9/11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not insurgents or terrorists or The Enemy. They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow and they will win.
-- Michael Moore in his message posted on his website, April 14, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fahrenheit 9/11 was described as incredibly superficial and misleading treatment at times.
-- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its representative of the fact that Michael Moore doesnt always give the whole story and hes a master of the misleading.
-- Congressman Mark Kennedy (Minnesota)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the British newspaper, The Guardian:
Moore was unequivocal about his desire to do everything in his power to help oust President George Bush in this Novembers elections.
We thought, We cannot leave this to the Democrats this time to f**k it up and lose.
[Responding to reports that some in the Disney Corporation found the movie unacceptably political and would not therefore distribute the film, Moore said]:
I wont let that happen and neither will Harvey Weinstein. People will see this film by hook or crook. I will get this out if it means breaking the law or committing an act of civil disobedience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moore has already defamed the passengers who were on board the airplanes hijacked on September 11th:
The kind of people who fly in airplanes want someone else to clean up their mess; thats why they let hijackers take the plane.
The passengers on September 11 were scaredy-cats, because they were mostly white.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Moore's customary blend of humor and horror, "Fahrenheit 9/11" accuses the Bush camp of stealing the 2000 election, overlooking terrorism warnings before September 11 and fanning fears of more attacks to secure Americans' support for the Iraq war.
-- From the cable television network, CNN

During the presidential primaries, Michael Moore referred to George W. Bush as, among other things, a "deserter.
Even ABC's Peter Jennings hardly a fan of President Bush condemned Moores characterization of Bush as a deserter. "Thats a reckless charge not supported by the facts.
When one of the press spokespersons for Regal entertainment said they weren't sure what they were going to do, I emailed him the Hezbollah stories and asked if it was really that hard of a decision to make?
When terrorists say 'this movie helps advance our agenda' does Regal normally say 'well then, let's show it?'
That's one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that every dollar spent to promote Michael Moore is a dollar not ending up in a Democratic campaign fund.
And as with Kerry, they can promote him all they want, it won't change who he is. Frankly, I think the more of Michael Moore (and Kerry) the nation gets, the less it will want.
Only time will tell if the people are really as dumb as we are made out to be. If we are, then the discussion is moot, anyway.
Brian have you ever taken any anger management courses?
Hey, TV - you sounded off 100% like I think. PLUS, gotta love your screen name, LOL!
I don't plan on ever watching his perverted movie. He should be dropped somewhere in the middle of Saudi Arabia. The worst part will do. Give the guy something to worry about.
With hope, justice and accuracy, one can only hope for Moore to be "Tango Uniform", as soon as possible, before he can pollute "any-moore"....
Mustang, (yes, I'm still alive), sends from "Malpaso News"
Brian, relax.
We all post stupid articles so that the rest of us here at FR can ridicule them and make fun of the stupidity of some people/things. Michael Moore-related items fall into these categories.
Michael Moore says it is a "documentary" but then says today on TV that it is at "op-ed" piece. Which is it, Michael?
Michael Moore -- still believe he is involved with the Nick Berg fiasco. I think he was paid by Moore to go and imbed himself to get footage in Iraq. Moore has blood on his hands. If only someone who knows the truth would speak out against Moore.
<< Brian, relax. >>
Given that I am the most relaxed man I have ever known, in no hurry to get there and with nothing to do once I arrive, I welcomed your post in that it stirred me to read back through this thread to discover whatever it was I posted that provoked you into projection of your stress on to me.
And I of course discovered that, as usual, I hadn't actually said anything. :) -- B A [Bush is!]
Excuse me but aren't these your comments? Looks like you need to relax to me.
Just tell John Hinckley that Moore's been "doing" Jodie Foster......
Then seize all copies of the film as evidence.......
In other words, it was never about principle. It almost never is.
And this is relevant to the point in what way? At least you admit that to you it was never about principle.
I think I see your problem. You don't have a clue as to how context effects which principle is relevant in a given situation. Such rigidity keeps one forever mired in self doubt. You have my sympathy.
Translation: If I like it, principle no longer matters, meaning that it never did.
If you agree with this you ought to put it in practice.
In other words reason is to be used before seeing Moore's movie but one had to go see the Passion and discount all of the negative publicity before that one opened. Principle without consistency is not principle.
You are being inconsistent by suggesting that the same priniciple should apply to both while trying to pass yourself off as intelligent.
