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." Maj. 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, Maj. 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," Miss Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called him a 'maggot that eats off the dead.' " The movie, described by critics as political propaganda during an election year, shows video footage of the funeral and Maj. Stone's fiancee, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and placing it on his coffin. The family does not know how Mr. Moore obtained the video, and Miss Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse. She described her nephew as a "totally conservative Republican" and said he would have found the film to be "putrid." "I'm sure he would have some choice words for Michael Moore," she said. "Michael Moore would have a hard time asking our family for a glass of water if he were thirsty."
"Maggot Moore" - what a catchy nickname--I hope it sticks!
Sue him! That's the only thing a maggot like Moore will understand.
Michael Moore hates America but love's her money. He's a pig.
I like it!
Do you have a link to this story?
That is the only way to stop him fromm profiting from this outrage. While they are at it sue the Weinstein leftie brothers. Disney wasn't so dumb after all.
when you make money off devastation, tragedy and sorrow, you no longer have the ability to discern what is true and what is not. even if they sue, what difference would it make now?
we need a film response to michael moore...not a funny one. or at least, funny to start and one that ends with this.
Yep. It seems that Michael, after much searching, has finally found his calling. "maggot that eats off the dead"

Yep that works for me </p>
He's not just a pig--he's a maggot pig.
"It seems that Michael, after much searching, has finally found his calling. "maggot that eats off the dead".
He's a particularly juicy maggot as well. Like the rest of the Hollyweird left and the Jackazz party, they claim to be patriots but hate everything about America except the money.
No threat from me here, Maggot -- you're not worth my sweat or even a surplus round-- but just an observation from a guy who's been enough places and known enough people of all sorts for enough years to know how these things often turn out.
And now you can't even say that you didn't know better. If one guy like me can make a prediction based on whatever, then there's at least one other guy out there who will undo you bigtime.
And even a vile pus-bag like Michael Moore doesn't deserve to get whacked for opening his traitorous, malodorous yap, although many might disagree....
Both represent legal exposure in both civil and criminal realms....
Thanks for posting the link for me, I was away from the puter for a bit!!

Family of Major Stone Upset Over Michael Moore's Movie
The family of Idaho Air Guard, Major Gregory Stone said they're being exploited by filmaker Michael Moore.
Major Stone's family said a video clip from the funeral service last year at Arlington National Cemetery was included in Moore's controversial movie Farenheit 9-11.
The Boise man who was on active duty with the Air Force was killed in a grenade attack in Kuwait at the beginning of the Iraq War. Stone's aunt said the family was stunned to see scenes from the funeral service in the film. "There was no permission for it. Greg's dead, he can't defend himself or say what he really thinks. There's no way he would ever let himself be affiliated with Michael Moore," said Katie Gallagher, Stone's aunt.
Major Stone was attached to the 101st Airborne when the attack happened. A disgruntled US soldier is charged with throwing the grenades that killed Stone and another officer.

Maggot Moore: Lord of the Flies
Wasn't he an Islamisist, not a 'disguntled soldier'?
