Default Fahrenheit 9/11

What Bob said. Go see it for yourself (I saw it last night) Investigate
anything you think was taken out of context or fabricated, THEN talk. It
will open many eyes. I laughed and I cried. and laughed again, then
strangely felt a bit ashamed at my laughter in places. And any one who
thinks Michael Moore is not a patriot is very wrong.

Went to see this last night again with two friends who are serious

republicans.
I was interested to see how the audience reacted as well.
Quite a few people cried during the movie. My friends won't be voting for

Bush.
Some elements of the movie are clearly and obviously low blows, but

there's
simply too much to ignore, too many facts presented through Bush

contradicting
himself days apart and so on. Anyone who thinks oil played no part in the

war
needs to see the film. Is the film a slanted view? You're damn right. Are

there
facts in the film as well? You're damn right.
If you haven't seen it, then you don't have all of the info. You're afraid

to
have your views challenged. Go see the movie, then get back to me. It's

easy to
see why the republicans want a ban on this film's advertising.
But here's the clincher. The movie is NOT anti republican. It's anti BUSH,

who
is really not a republican at all. See the movie, THEN you'll be qualified

to
comment.
Did I cry during the movie? Yes, I did. I don't know what kind of person

could
watch this film and not be moved by the plight of Iraq civilians and our

own
American troops being used like pawns.
What a disaster Bush has brought on the US and the world. He'll soon be
stopped, but too late for too many. Moore's freedom as an artist will
(thankfully) be a final blow to Bush and his people in the political

machine.
