Fahrenheit 9/11

I finally got around to seeing the movie.

It is gratuitous, slanted, and the consummate hatchet job. It's everything that the Michael Moore hating critics have said it is.

But what I took from it was one huge primal scream from Michael Moore saying "For What?". And that's the question I've been dealing with for the past year and a half along with what appears to be many of my fellow americans. Finally we have something to vent our pain with. And that is why the movie was sold at at 4:30pm on a work day. And that is why this movie is going to do over $100 million at the box office before its done. And that is why America is so polarized. And that is why George W. Bush may well lose an election when the economy is turning sharply in his favor.

Agreed. I don't know that I agree with Bush / Kerry or with Moore, but the ability of the film to bring everything back like it happened yesterday was phenomenal.

By the way, just found your blog and I'm already a fan. Keep it up!

Uh?

You mean its not intuitively obvious?

Jesus christ for all the goddamn naunce and elite education of the limo-liberals you should've at least learned how to fucking think and not spout democratic talking points.

Oh well, never fear. An actual true life breathing non neocon, a democrat no less, has written a book that articulates the rational and the future plan. (Complete with charts and graphs, so the morons can follow along.)

On Amazon, check out: "The Pentagon's New Map". I promise its not written by an "evil" (???) neocon.

PS. How long until Moore sinks the Kerry campaign, ala the crazy general?

[Fred Schoeneman]

Surely there are intelligent reasons to oppose the war in Iraq; unfortunately, Mr. Moore doesn't effectively articulate them. And whatever value Mr. Moore may have to you in a liberal sort of Robert Bly-Promisekeepers kind of way, he also has the effect of undercutting rational, thoughtful people of the left by alienating the middle.
