SEEKS $85M FOR 'LYING' 9/11 CLIP
A double-amputee Iraq-war vet is suing Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming the portly peacenik recycled an old interview and used it out of context to make him appear anti-war in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, who strongly supports America's invasion of Iraq, said he never agreed to be in the 2004 movie, which trashes President Bush.
In the 2003 interview, which he did at Walter Reed Army Hospital for NBC News, he discussed only a new painkiller the military was using on wounded vets.
"They took the clip because it was a gut-wrenching scene," Damon said yesterday. "They sandwiched it in. [Moore] was using me as ammunition." |

It couldn't happen to a more deserving bucket of fat.

There is a God.
Hopefully he will have to pay every cent of it. Maybe a few more of the vets that he had in his propaganda film without their permission will take him to task also.

I ordinarily view these suits as frivolous. This one does not sound frivolous at all and likewise, I hope he wins every dime.
Even if he doesn't, his words should make it to the public about how he was used and manipulated, without his permission. I don't see hoe the drive-by leftstream medai can ignore it. (but, they have surprised me before on what they can ignore) |

I wish the gentleman good luck and good hunting. I hope that others so used or misrepresented by Le Grande Lardon will do something similar...
