Has anybody seen this?I was in total shock!It was a shock to see how much of a trader our president really is!Not to mention a liar & a cheat!I am so disgusted in him!I cant believe that some ppl have the nerve to say that democrats are always up to their dirty tricks! Ha! Those of you that think that really need to rent the video Fahrenheit 9/11.Sad that I had to wait for it to come out on video because the REPUBLICANS did not want the truth to be known in the theaters!God help this world!Because our politicians aren't!

I'm gonna rent "Fahrenhype", and I'll compare it to "Fahrenheit", see both sides that way. Okay, I admit I did BUY my copy of Fahrenheit......so we each bought a copy of the one we identify more with!!! Want me to burn you a copy, Debateguy??? ;-) (Kidding!!)

The footage does not lie, but from what I understand, much is taken out of context (which Moore is known for doing as he did in BfC), and the premises which Moore asserts with the footage is based purely on speculation.

I found it funny that the movie critics loved the movie, but the policital news people thought it was totally ridiculous, over the top, and should not have been billed as a documentary, since much of the movie was based on the opinion of Michael Moore, and this included the NYT, Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, etc.

Here are two of the reviews from sources you mentoned...I don't see the criticism you are refering to. Did not have time to look for the others. Were you refering to different stories? Could you show the ones you are refering to? Thanks

I would say some is taken out of context, but not all. Be brave and see it for yourself.

That's what clearblue sky should do, too. Compare & contrast. I don't know anyone I could borrow Fahrenheit 9/11 from (can't bring myself to spend money on it). My sister-in-law probably has a copy, but she's in PA.

<< ...much is taken out of context (which Moore is known for doing as he did in BfC) >>

I still assert he lies (distortions, twisting the truth, taking out of context, et al). Eg. In regards to BFC, Moore claims the title was taken from the little-known fact that the two killers, Dylan and Eric, were at a bowling class at Columbine High School on the morning of the murders. They weren't. And that's just in the title, let alone the rest of the movie. I suppose eventually I'll somehow end up seeing Fahrenheit 9/11. I don't trust MM as far as I could throw him.

I bought 2 copies of Fahrenheit 9/11, one for myself and one to pass around to anyone who's "on the fence" about the election, but hasn't seen it yet.

 

The last time anyone listened to a Bush, they were lost for 40 years!   Looks like we're doomed to "wander" ano

Netflix.com has Fahrenheit 9/11 and Fahrenhype 9/11 and I would imagine Blockbuster & Hollywood Video do, too.
