Just Say “No” To Michael Moore
Hmmm...isn’t it funny that the very law the Democrats clamored, screamed, and stomped their feet for (no matter that the senior Senator from Arizona signed on to it) is now biting them back in the ass?

They gave us the weapon to use and if they didn’t think anyone would use it then I shed no tears over it. That fat Jabba the Hutt wannabe needs to see that film sliced,diced and burned unless he decides to add the real truth to it.

"JUST SAY ‘NO’ TO MICHAEL MOORE”
Nothing says “no” better than a well placed bullet between the eyes.
Oh! I can’t say that?
OK.
Nothing says ‘no” better than an accidentally self-inflicted bullet between the eyes.
There. That better?

I was hoping Bradbury would file an injunction considering Mooron stole the title. The good news is the film will probably run its course before July 30 anyway.
Don’t plan to see it but friends who ‘want to keep an open mind’ but still hate Mooron had the right idea - pay for Shrek 2 and sneak in to see this one.

That is interesting. I hate the CFR, but this is an outstanding way to use something, as it was intended, and have it blow up right in the asshats faces. I wonder if there are any legal proceedings in the works to have this happen. Then again, this piece of dung called a film will have probibly run its course long before the time constrants of the CFR would kick in.

Anthony L. - Advertisements are not covered under free speech - there are many laws restricting what advertisers may say and where they may say it; e.g. You can’t make false claims about your products and you can’t advertise cigarettes on TV.
If they ban ads for Moore’s film, they should also apply the McCain-Feingold law to TV and internet ads for the New York/LA Times, WaPo, Boston Globe, SF Chron. etc - the only difference between those rags and Fahrenheit 9/11 is that one can be used to line my birdcage and the other can’t.

Anthony, speaking of getting leters in the paper, earlier this year we had the primary elections here. The local county commissioners decided to use that as a forum to raise sales and school taxes. They used taxpayer money and taxpayer paid employees to go around pleading their case.
A couple of weeks before the election, the local paper came out with an editorial saying we needed to support raising taxes.
Several days prior to the election guess how many letters to the editor made it on the pages of the paer OPPOSING the tax increase? ZERO!!!
Another instance of those who own media can dictate what gets coverd and OBTW they are exempt from CFR.
It will not be pretty come October and November when editors all over the US will be touting Kerry and controlling the numbers of letters opposing him.
