Out of some kind of morbid fascination with political claptrap masquerading as a "documentary" Rolling Eyes

, many people will see it.

It's impact?

Negligible. A lot of it has already been proven as outright fantasy. There's more to come. It may go down in history as the most fictional "documentary" ever filmed. Very Happy

As for the Arab world. Al Jazeera has already conditioned them to believe any fiction that casts the U.S. in a negative light. This is just more of the same. It fits in nicely with what they want to believe.

It figures that an American would encourage their animosity. We already have a good example of the same but different encouragement in John Kerry.

Al Queda would love to get Kerry elected. Michael Mooron could be his press secretary to help him suck up to our enemies. Wink

Impact?
Well, as we all know, Michael "Big Mac" Moore is making a lot of money. But, he can't take it with him and at the rate his arteries are undoubtably hardening, it won't matter in the long run.
Election impact?
Not much. Most people who like it and are gullible enough to believe it were already against Bush and they can only vote once.

I must disagree with the predominate theme regarding Moore's movie. I personally hope the movie will have a very wide-spread impact.

What the Moore movie does is bring to light the distortion and out-right lies the liberal side likes to use to further their agendas.

BUT - the impact can only be turned to our favor if we all take a moment to correct the distortions and make it known just how inaccurate the movie is. There is a quick fact sheet in this forum that can be printed and shared. If we all do so, or write letters to the editors of our local newspapers or whatever else we can do in a peaceful, logical manner, we will shed light where it is needed. Moore will no longer be able to hide in the shadows of his marketing nor behind the hollywood brain-dead who so love him.

Yes, the wider the impact the better - when the truth is presented.

Here is a well written article outlining 59 deceptions within the movie, with appropriate links within the article for documentation;

Thank you Lew! That's exactly what I mean and I wish I had taken the time to do as much research as this guy has. While I haven't seen the movie, this doesn't come as a surprise given Moore's history.

Oh to get this debunk broadcast in the widest possible manner.

I took my family down to the walk of fame yesterday to see the stars on the sidewalk. During my time there I didn't see one sign or anything on F911. I did see a report that the white chick movie and spiderman 2 are the top two on the charts and F911 is sinking rapidly. The report also showed manufactured reports that F911 was breaking records, it simply is not breaking anything but the democrats drive to the Whitehouse. I know of 3 people who are democrats who went to see the movie, they are disgusted that their party is alligning itself with Moore on this crap. They have crossed over for this election. Keep up the good work Mikey, your movie is the best anti-lib tool that we have had for many years!!!! Semper Fi.

Here's to R.L. Fridley! A business owner with brains and guts. Very Happy

Just a guess.

If it was a real DOCUMENTARY, he'd probably show it. The fact that it's full of outright lies and distortions keeps it from being a DOCUMENTARY.

There is a big difference between banning a movie and refusing to show it! But of course, in the liberal mind if you refuse to show this discusting piece of crap, then MM is being discriminated against and these members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy are banning it! What a joke!

Woof!

And I'm being closed minded 'cause I won't pay a nickel to see it.....maybe I should go sneak into a theater and watch it for free??? If enough people did that - would MM have to cut back on fast food and ice cream? Would he have to hit the soup kitchen in Flint, MI We know he's already saving on razor blades.... Cool

Here a good article on MM (Massive Moobat)

Believing in Bush’s perfidy gives some people the same comfort and emotional nourishment others get from believing in Jesus. It validates them, cements their view of the world – venal, conspiratorial, run by capering chimps who are somehow ten times less intelligent than Usenet posters but somehow able to yank strings on a global scale. A commenter on a Fark thread called Bush “The Unelected Murder Monkey,” for heaven’s sake. Not all the opponents are unhinged, of course. Of course. There are many levels of opposition, from the serene and reasonable to the char-broiled nutburgers who haunt the comments sections of my favorite blogs. Or my favorite talk shows. Today I heard a caller describe how “Fahrenheit 9/11” affected him; now he believed that the Bush administration attacked the Taliban and Iraq because the Saudis wanted it. The host pointed out that the Saudis didn’t want it. The caller said “well, that’s your opinion.” Movies are facts, you see. Facts are just opinions.

Balance of the piece is at:
