Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

When "Fahrenheit 9/11" was selected for the Cannes film festival, another documentary about George W. Bush was waiting in the wings in case Michael Moore's film wasn't ready in time. "The organizers were keen to include our film in the Official Selection but felt it was politically incorrect to have two anti-Bush documentaries at Cannes,"

Sounds like the fix was in at Cannes (have some sort of Bush-Bash win/draw attention).

Directed by seasoned documentary maker William Karel...

Dear Mr. Karel,
You're French. Therefore, you're irrelevant. Shut the hell up, we will save the world in spite of you.

I think he meant the "Bible-thumping Jewish Nazis," but he was trying to be polite.

I looked into what this film was because it was included in this Bastille Day photo:

Can some clever Freeper remind me when David Kay was Director of Central Intelligence?

I can't seem to remember when that was.

"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

"Germans?"

"Shh. He's on a roll."

It has been proposed that Moore didn't use the typical leftist "zionist - Israeli lobby" because he wants to defeat Bush and this might turn off some jewish voters, who tend to turnout heavily in support of dems. It's just speculation.

Not only a fix, but favoritism and lack of competition. Just what we have come to expect from years of liberal breeding.

The hard left in America supports the Palestinian war. You are right it could cost Moore-Kerry-Anybody_but_Bush the Jewish vote.

Then again, if Moore had played up the antiSemitism angle, it would have drawn even more comparisions to Nazi documentaries like Triumph Of The Will and The Enternal Jew. It also would have been harder to separate these conspiracy theories from Democrat also-ran Lyndon LaRouche.

And the assault continues...I haven't seen such an assault on a President since 1966-68 on Lyndon Johnson. From what I hear, the French have many uses for their tongues but speaking the truth isn't one of them.

I am soooooooo glad when their true colors are revealed.

Moore is smart enough not to mention Israel or The Joooooos, but I do wonder. I do wonder.

the "big lie" linking Saddam Hussein to Sept. 11.

The big lie is that President Bush ever linked Saddam to 9/11.

We know that Saddam had links to terrorists. We don't know that he had links to 9/11. A three-year-old can understand the difference...except for French three-year-olds, of course.

The French aren't worthy of consideration, unless its in regards to new bombing ranges.....
