"...and this country is really in the mood for somebody to tell ’em what they should think, what to do.â€
That's exactly what democrats want--to tell the American people what we should think and what we should do. Unbelievable, he just gave away their secret! I'm glad I can think for myself, thank you.

And how about the celebrity turnout for the premiere? Not a real shocker to see Martin Sheen, Demi Moore, Drew Barrymoore, et al excited to be there. And how about Camryn Manheim who was also there, quoted, "A lot of us look to Michael Moore to uncover the real truth." ROFL.
*sigh* These people...

If you are open to the suggestion check out
"More Guns, Less Crime" by John Lott, it is a compelling case against gun control.

Curious about something though... "...weapons of that calibur." What caliber would that be?

Interesting board.
Hi Nicole2278! Welcome to the "In the News" board.
"Interesting board". Sometimes informative & fun too. ;)
Thanks for posting.
Uneducated compared to whom? I think this administration has proven on many different occassions how uneducated it is. How many different statements and documents have been released and then retracted because someone finally took a closer look. I thought our goverment had all the resources available (ie. fbi, cia, pentagon etc.) to discover the hidden truth. Yet almost everytime this administration is questioned on there mistakes they give generic responses involving something else completely. To say MM is following the rest of the pack is funny. Who else has done something like this? MM has produced the only film I know of that is critical of bush. What I do know that bush has simply fallen into a path of secrecy, and personal priorities. I know bush has managed to invade our constitutional rights to privacy, freedom of speech, and the belief that everyone is equal. If MM is so uneducated than why has this administration been so uncooperative regarding 9/11? if bush cared about preventing another 9/11 he would be happy to help instead of dragging his feet until the very end. If he truly wanted to know how the us failed to stop 9/11 He would have given the 9/11 commission the extra time they asked for to complete this report but again his top priority was his re-election. So far MM hasn't been afraid of peoples opinions of him. if you consider MM to be uneducated then why are so many republicans and companies like disney trying to prevent this movies release. Anyone that that is accusing MM of trying to slander this administration so bush isn't re-elected should look at all the false documents that were released by this administration as factual proof on how bush's performance has improved this country but when people start questioning the facts the documents the administration immediately claims there not responsible because they had no knowledge of it and/or can't recall it. Why this much uproar over a documentary that very few have seen unless theres some truth to it? Afghanistan & Iraq have a lot of oil with bush and cheney written all over it.
"Why this much uproar over a documentary that very few have seen unless theres some truth to it?"
The administration is highly educated. You may question their decisions but they certainly are highly educated (might be part of the problem) :)
"The problem is that most of their speech is uneducated."
I think the sentence is more reflective of the truth if it said their speech is ignorant. They may be highly educated people but you have to wonder how much they truly know about the dynamic situation of foreign affairs. Many hollywood types espouse their liberal beliefs but are wholly ignorant of the many aspects of the situation they are talking about. These type of people may come out against the war in Iraq but have no understanding of the situation and are just parroting the liberal talking points.
"why are so many republicans and companies like disney trying to prevent this movies release"
Different reasons. Republicans don't want the film released because it is reported to be wholly unfair to Bush and his administration and doesnt reflect the true and complete reasons for the 9/11 tragedy. Disney, which is a very liberal company, doesn't want it released because of the negative PR associated with it and the possible effect on their image and ultimately their pockets.
"Why this much uproar over a documentary that very few have seen unless theres some truth to it?"
Because many people believe what they see on tv without questioning it. It is likely to be so unbalanced that it would negatively affect the GOP. It is a natural reaction to protect one's own.
"Afghanistan & Iraq have a lot of oil with bush and cheney written all over it."
Afghanistan was about terrorism, primarily.
Iraq is about...a great many things including oil, terrorism, solidifying US influence in the Middle East, Israel. There is usually not 1 main reason for something, that is a narrow view of the situation.

Well said! It's nice to see someone make sense of this situation.

Disney didn't ban the release of the movie nor did they try to, they simply declined to put their name on this film before election time, they felt it was in bad taste. And when did Bush try to ban it's release? Do you have a link? I am interested in reading it.
