LAKE ORION, Mich. - He was a stern-faced sniper — and a soft-hearted Marine who handed out candy to kids in Iraq. He was a warrior who wrote poetry about life and death. He was featured in Michael Moore's antiwar documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," portrayed as an overzealous Marine recruiter who targeted poor kids. But Staff Sgt. Raymond Plouhar was far more complicated than that. And it was that complicated man who died in Iraq in late June, as he served with some of the same men he had recruited years ago. It was that complex man who was buried Friday,...

THE world is hotter than it has been for four centuries - and probably the hottest for 2,000 years - the United States' most prestigious scientific organisation said yesterday. In a report to the US Congress, the National Academy of Sciences reported that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia". A panel of top climate scientists told politicians that the Earth is heating up and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming". Their 155-page report said average global surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose...

Joanne Duetsch appeared in filmmaker Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” during a scene filmed in Washington DC. In the film, Duetsch converses with Moore and his companion, Lila Lipscomb, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq. Duetsch claims she never signed a release form, seeks legal assistance, and wants to reveal how Moore edited the scene. She has come to me asking for a way to tell her side of the story. These are her responses to my questions which were given via email and an in-person interview. For those willing to help Mrs. Duetsch, legally or through media coverage,...

Michael Moore and his mockumentary "Fahrenheit 9-11" get snubbed by the Academy Awards!   This is an email-able, copyright-ready graphic you can use in emails, on blogs, in flyers, on posters... anything that's noncommercial.

President Bush and some of his advisers received worst-acting nominations for their appearances in news and archival footage in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which assails Bush for his actions surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks. Bush was nominated for worst actor, while Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice got a nomination for worst supporting actress and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for worst supporting actor. Wilson said that while "Fahrenheit 9/11" was a piece of anti-Bush propaganda, the president and his associates earned their Razzie nominations on their own. "It wasn't Mr. Moore's editing," Wilson said. "It's the raw footage of these people...

[Below is the floor peech of Rep. Ric Keller (R.-Fla.) regarding Electoral Vote count delivered on January 6, 2005.] There's a wise saying we've used quite a bit in Florida over the past four years that the other side would do well to learn -- GET OVER IT. Isn't it ironic that the only people who refuse to "move on" are the people from MoveOn.org and their hero Michael Moore? My colleagues across the aisle have two sides to choose from, the John Kerry side that acknowledges the election is over and President Bush has won. Or the Michael Moore...

New York - A cable pay-per-view company has decided not to show a three-hour election eve special with filmmaker Michael Moore that included a showing of his documentary ``Fahrenheit 9/11,'' which is sharply critical of President Bush. The company, iN DEMAND, said Friday that its decision is due to ``legitimate business and legal concerns.'' A spokesman would not elaborate. Moore has just released his movie on DVD and was seeking a TV outlet for the film. Earlier this week, trade publications said Moore was close to a deal with iN DEMAND for ``The Michael Moore Pre-Election Special,'' which also would...

ELYRIA — If you want to borrow Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” from the Elyria Public Library, get in line. And if you intended a trip to the library to watch a planned showing of the controversial documentary that skewers President George W. Bush, you’ll probably have to wait until after the Nov. 2 presidential election.

I have a friend who was visiting with his nephew from Florida yesterday. He's just turned 18 and is a senior in high school in Bradenton, Florida. I'm not sure which high school he goes to. He told his uncle that one of his teachers had brought in Fahrenheit 9/11 and showed it to them as truth. He also told him that he thought Nader should be President. When he asked him why, and pointed out that Nader is a whackjob, his nephew said, "That's what they told us." Does anyone know what high schools are in that area, or...

Word that Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" will be shown on cable T-V in Tucson before the November second election. Tucson radio producer Elaine Higginbotham says she's received Moore's permission to air the controversial film on Access Tucson. Higginbotham says she considers airing a film that takes a highly critical look at the U-S war in Iraq as a valuable public service.

Oscar winning filmmaker Michael Moore's Cannes Film Festival prized Fahrenheit 9/11 premiered in the Middle East in July. But since last June the camera-welcoming director has dodged Al Jazeera's interview requests. Considering that Moore featured clips from Al Jazeera in his over $100 million-grossing Bush-bashing documentary, why would Moore snub the controversial yet highest-rated Arab Network and pass on the opportunity to promote Fahrenheit 9/11, reaching their global audience of 40 million strong? Canada Free Press has obtained emails documenting Al Jazeera's repeated attempts to interview the outspoken Moore, "We are putting an international plan for the film in placeŠ...

VIDEO STORES ACROSS THE NATION TO RENT CUSTOMERS "FAHRENHEIT 9/11" FREE OF CHARGE While on his 60 city "Slacker Uprising Tour," Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is joining forces with video store operators in an effort to get as many Americans as possible to see the film before the election. Video stores across the country will be waiving the usual rental fee for "Fahrenheit 9/11," beginning on October 26. A recent Harris poll showed that 44 percent of Republicans who have seen the film gave it a positive rating. "It isn't possible to view this film and come out saying you...

Superintendent: 'Fahrenheit 9/11' Will Not Be Shown Again Moore Spokesman Says High School Students Should See Film POSTED: 8:59 am CDT October 12, 2004 BEAUMONT, Texas -- The Beaumont school superintendent on Monday assured parents that Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" will not be shown again in district classrooms. Carrol Thomas said the politically charged film, shown Friday at an alternative school, had no place in the Beaumont school system. "We don't need to be showing biased viewpoints in BISD," Thomas said in Tuesday editions of the Beaumont Enterprise. Parent Michael Kurth criticized the decision to show the movie, based...

alright, here i go... ironically, fahrenhype 9/11 presents a more devastating case a for michael moore's alleged, yet sometimes obvious, hatred of america. the movie focuses solely on F9/11, as should be expected from the title. it's never slanderous, although certain people interviewed have some choice words for mikey, heh. the movie starts off in the florida classroon, interviewing the black woman who sat next to him in the photo-op (i believe she was the principal). she disposes a few myths (the children were reading to him, the book was never upside-down, etc), and then proceeds to splice in commentary...

This looks like a potentially awesome movie that will answer the fat loser, Michael Moore, and his America-hating propaganda, F911. Pass it along! http://www.citizensunited-interactive.org/c41.11/

Russia got its first official chance to see Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" on Thursday, when the film about an unpopular war, terrorism and a president accused of failing to react instantly to an attack that stunned the nation, opened in movie houses across Moscow. The opening was a formality for many, however, since pirate copies had long been on sale and discussion was already ongoing on Kino.ru, a web site for cinephiles. An early showing Thursday at one Moscow theater drew a feeble four people. In a country where kompromat and black PR are part of the daily...

• Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius: Conservatives are launching a cinematic counterstrike against Michael Moore's incendiary hit "Fahrenheit 9/11" with a quickie documentary titled "Celsius 41.11." The 80-minute film, funded by Citizens United, a D.C. conservative advocacy group, will premiere Sept. 28 in Washington. "What we have done is debunk some of the main lies and distortions of Michael Moore's movie," the group's president, David Bossie, tells us. As for the title, that's part of the well-calculated message: 41.11 degrees Celsius converts to 105.998 degrees Fahrenheit. Okay, let's call it 106, the temperature at which a fever can cause brain damage...

Just in case anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" needed any more controversy to fuel its hot box office, a new war of words broke out on Friday over whether the U.S. Army is stonewalling efforts to book the film at military bases. But the organization that orders films for the 160 base theaters countered that it was the distributors -- Fellowship Adventure Group, IFC Films and Lions Gate Films -- that had the problem and noted they plan to stock base stores with the film's DVDs when they are released. The movie, made by Oscar-winning director Michael Moore, has grossed over...

REUTERS Director Moore: Naive dream of Agit-film Washington - "Fahrenheit 9/11", Michael Moore's ambitious as well as provocative documentary project, won't have any effect on the U.S. presidential election campaign despite its record breaking success at the box offices, according to a survey.

As a military parent whose son was recently deployed in the Middle East, I strongly object to Michael Moore's cynical exploitation of our men and women in uniform. When a political satire like Fahrenheit 9/11 stoops to manipulating young soldiers and their grieving parents to score political points, something is very wrong. Moore uses the military as fodder for taking aim at President Bush—and then feigns respect for those same soldiers. I want Michael Moore to know he can't have it both ways. And no matter how much he hates Bush, that's no excuse for insulting my son and all...

The Candidate With No Name By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 29, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms ”Defeat Bush – VOTE In 2004!” I’ve seen more bumper-stickers with this platitude than I’ve seen ones that simply state, “Kerry/Edwards 2004.” While my liberal friends rarely mention Kerry and Edwards, they constantly remind me of how much they hate President Bush. This year, the politics of hate rule. The Left doesn’t even have a candidate. They are galvanized mainly by visceral hatred -- a hatred which stands on shaky assumptions, like the lies that Michael Moore sells as truths. In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore insinuates that...

"Fahrenheit 9/11" is making mega-bucks in American theaters and -- with some help from terrorists who also are Michael Moore fans -- it could prove a blockbuster in the Middle East too. The film industry publication Screendaily.com reports that the movie will soon debut in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. “In terms of marketing,” Screendaily.com announces, Mr. Moore “is getting a boost from organizations related to Hezbollah.” Yes, that Hezbollah: the Syrian- and Iranian-backed terrorist group that pioneered suicide bombings against Americans more than 20 years ago in Beirut, the terrorist group...

Jan. 27, 2004 — In a prehistoric battle for survival, Neanderthals had to compete against modern humans and were wiped off the face of the Earth, according to a new study on life in Europe from 60,000 to 25,000 years ago. The findings, compiled by 30 scientists, were based on extensive data from sediment cores, archaeological artifacts such as fossils and tools, radiometric dating, and climate models. The collected information was part of a project known as Stage 3, which refers to the time period analyzed. The number three also seems significant in terms of why the Neanderthals became extinct....

Theater operator Eric Faden is offering to buy tickets to get Republicans to see "Fahrenheit 9/11." Any card-carrying Republicans who come to see a special showing today of Michael Moore's assault on President Bush's actions regarding the Sept. 11 attacks gets in free. Faden, the executive director of the nonprofit Campus Theatre in downtown Lewisburg, Pa., and an assistant professor of film studies at Bucknell University, says he isn't trying to convince anybody that Moore is right. He says he's ambivalent about it. Faden heard liberal patrons praising the film, but when he sought the opinions of conservative friends, he...

All blunderbuss and bile Mark Kermode Sunday July 11, 2004The Observer Two elements must be considered in relation to Michael Moore's controversial documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11: the merits of the film itself, and the manner in which it has been sold to the public. While we'd all like to pretend that the former is more important, Moore has made so much of the alleged attempted suppression of his movie, now being marketed as 'The Film They Didn't Want You To See', that it is necessary to address this first. For the record, there was never any doubt that Fahrenheit 9/11 would...

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Michael Moore's controversial "Fahrenheit 9/11" will expand into 286 additional theaters Friday. But if you're an interested moviegoer in Grand Island, Neb., or Marquette, Wis., you'll have to drive to at least the next town to view Moore's critique of the Bush administration. Illinois-based GKC Theaters and Iowa-based Fridley Theaters have decided to not screen the film. Both theater chains, which were not in domestic distributor Lions Gate's original 800-theater release plan, are protesting the content of Moore's film. According to Fridley Theaters' Web site, the theater chain has received a deluge of e-mails, phone...

Has "Spider-Man 2" pushed "Fahrenheit 9/11" director Michael Moore out of the limelight? And is Moore having trouble coping with his predictable drop from the top spot? Last weekend, the Tobey Maguire blockbuster dwarfed the anti-Bush polemic - with "Spider-Man 2" grossing a record $116 million compared with $21 million for "Fahrenheit 9/11." Monday night, on the third floor of the UA Battery Park cineplex, a crowd of "Spider-Man 2" filmgoers converged in waves, all but drowning out a fat bearded man who had appeared to give an impromptu oration. Namely, Michael Moore. "Check out my Web site, www.michaelmoore.com," Moore...

OK Freepers -- I just got a call from a friend of mine who went to see Farenheit 911 today. She is a lawyer, but by no means a committed Democrat.

From the fallacy that the Republicans stole the 2000 presidential election in Florida to the claim that Afghanistan was just a prelude to President Bush's long-planned attack on Iraq, solely to avenge his father, Michael Moore uses selected sound bites, video clips, ambush interviews, discredited experts and emotionally charged testimonials to model a story that's little more than propaganda. Admittedly, some questions need to be asked and Moore...

LOS ANGELES, (AFP) - US filmmaker Michael Moore is claiming a major political coup against US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) as "Fahrenheit 9/11" scorched box office records and shook the US political scene. The polemical film earned 23.9 million dollars at the box office in its North American debut, more than any other documentary in history, indicating it could yet influence voters ahead of November's election, some experts said. The film that bashes Bush over the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and for an alleged erosion of US civil rights amid the war against...

... In the seven months since the Supreme Court upheld the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, the "reform" has worked exactly as its critics predicted: The fat cats are still spending at will, while everyone else has lost some free-speech rights. The latest example came last week, when the Federal Election Commission's general counsel offered an advisory opinion that political documentary filmmakers fall under electioneering restrictions. That would mean filmmakers couldn't air TV or radio ads referring to federal candidates within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. That'd be a real bummer for Mr. Moore,...

Responding to Michael Moore By: Ryan Mauro tdcanalyst@optonline.net First off, we must admit that Mr. Moore is a great filmmaker. On the other hand, he plays off emotions and manipulation rather than fact. However, he must be applauded for being a great artist, and not pretending that “Fahrenheit 9-11” is a “fair and balanced” movie. He is entitled to his opinions and demonstrates them in a unique, emotional, and very effective way. Saying that, WorldThreats.com feels that we must respond to his false claims in the movie and other things he says. He has no credentials or experience in international...

TAMPA - John Kerry's White House chances neither rose nor fell at the local premiere of ``Fahrenheit 9/11'' on Friday. That's because virtually everyone lining up for a matinee at Sunrise Cinemas in Hyde Park Village identified themselves as Democrats who certainly won't vote for the antiwar film's star, President Bush. If any pro-Bush Republicans lurked, they were more anonymous than ``Deep Throat.'' ``It confirmed a lot of things I think I already knew,'' Michelle Welcks, 32, of Tampa, said as she emerged from the first two-hour show. Viewer David Janiec, 25, said filmmaker Michael Moore ``seems to be a...

As we all know, Michael Moore could give Nazi propagandist Joseph Geobbels a run for his money, and Fahrenheit 9/11 will go down in history as one of the most Anti-American pieces of hate propaganda ever published. When it goes down though, it needs to go down in flames straight into history’s dust-bin. The only real way to do this is to get it out of theaters as quickly as possible. That means a boycott of course. But not just of the movie, but of the theaters. A lot of movies are coming out over the next few weekends. Several...

Move America Forward is leading the rally against Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary. LOS ANGELES — While the White House and the Republican National Committee have taken an official "no comment" approach to Michael Moore and his new anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," some conservatives have mobilized a letter-writing campaign and crafted ads that slam the film and its maker. "Fahrenheit 9/11," which won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, attacks President Bush's rationale for the war in Iraq and accuses him and his administration of manipulating the Sept. 11 terror attacks and fostering fear for political gain.

I just came back from seeing the liberal propaganda film Fahrenheit 9/11. (Don't worry, I had a free pass to the movie theater, and SPENT NO MONEY on this abomination.)These are the impressions and thoughts I have after seeing the movie: 1. This is the most virulent anti-Bush production that I have ever seen. 2. Obviously in a propaganda piece, only one side of the story is shown. It's a 2 hour long anti-Bush ad. What makes this movie particularily dangerous is (I'm sorry to say this) the skill and subtlety and humor that went into it's production. What I...
