    The movie was both immensely entertaining and moving at the same time, even regardless of right wing get-the-facts campaigns against it (hey, that sounds familiar... I mean windows is more secure than linux, right?...)

    Cheers.

    I can't tell you how intelligent it makes our nations leaders look to call French Fries, Freedom Fries.

    I can't tell you how little of an impact calling French Fries, Freedom Fries has made. Last time I checked American still ate them. Even if they're called French Fries.

    It was an excellent piece of filmmaking, but unfortunately a horrible piece of journalism. The right wing get-the-facts campaigns are mostly correct. I agree with 95% of Moore's politics, but I can still recognize that the majority of Fahrenheit 9/11 was BS.

    please don't use that fat ugly m-f'er michael moore and his propoganda movies as a statement or representative of the DNC

    You know, I'd love to believe you because I wouldn't wish Moore on Osama bin Laden leave alone any American political party, but the fact that Moore was seated in the Presidential Box at the Democratic convention kinda goes against your assertion. Between that and Howard "I Hate Republicans and Everything They Stand For" Dean, the Democrats have forfeited the White House for at least a generation, which is a shame. I have never voted for a Democrat for President, and probably never will, but it woulod be nice to have some real competition to help keep the Republicans honest, and at this rate, I think we're looking at another 1964 or even 1984. No offense to Democrats, but your party is self-destructing. Too bad they can't put the good Democrats (and there are many) on the top instead of the nutcakes and droners.
