Moore's prop John McCaslin
July 13, 2004
The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major's Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Stone was killed in March 2003 by a grenade that officials said was thrown into his tent by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson.
We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called him a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'"

France doesn't even require that Clinton renounce his American citizenship. However, he would need to purchase an official residence in France and learn the French languageParlay voo yall? Au revoir Mr. C!
Amount of cash President Bush left last week at a lemonade stand in Raleigh, N.C.: $10.
He actually carries money with him! If I remember correctly, Billy boy never did & his hosts were always stuck with paying his tab.

Blubba would bother to learn only the French terminology for "Lewinsky" and "cocaine," I'd wager.

If I were Major Stone's family I would sue that "maggot" for every dime he made on that screed.

I think Moore knows that he really stepped in it this time. People all around the globe have seen his "challenge" to debate anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Unfortunately they've also seen takers for his challenge line up only to be ignored.
He's clearly preaching to the choir as he picks their pockets. The "facts" in his movie have fallen like a house of cards. He's stolen the intellectual property of others. and stepped on the privacy rights of a fallen soldiers family.

Is it possible to get close enough to at least throw a pie in Moore's face? He really is a vile POS!

Maggots would gag on Mikey Moore. Besides, what self respecting insect would lay its eggs on his disgusting bloated corpse?

Went to Arlington last summer to let my kids see that great place. The tour bus guide informed us that we were strictly prohibited from taking pictures of a funeral if we encountered one. I would think that the Military would be very interested in the film clip that Moore used and how he obtained it.

To: InvisibleChurch
So far the "facts" in F-7/11 have been refuted one-by-one, the chronology was shown to be false, quotes were unfairly edited, outright lies have been exposed, contexts were invented, lies were told about Miramaxes role in funding, Moore has ties to the same corp. that he damns Bush with, lies were told about movie attendance and most recently Pete Townsend called Moore a liar about why music from The Who wasn't used. Now we find out about illegitimate (possibly illegal) use of film of an airman's funeral.
What next? Did he steal the raw film and cameras? Is even the slightest most trivial detail of this crockumentary a sham in some way or other?

Moore has declined to respond to questions from interviewers about whether he resorted to subterfuge in order to embed photographers among U.S. forces and has been criticized for not showing footage of the abuses to U.S. military authorities earlier. I guess that answers my question. It's not stolen film and cameras (yet) but there goes the legitimacy of the cameramen.

what self respecting insect would lay its eggs on his disgusting bloated corpse? Maggots aren't particularly smart,
so maybe they can't tell the difference between a living or dead Bloated One.
The size and the smell would be the same either way.

You know, Major Stone's mother may have something there..
Michael "The Maggot" Moore.
Has a really good ring to it.
Looks like one, acts like one.... might even smell like one.
Makes real maggots look good.
