Seems the ultraconservatives have decided to create an answer of their own to Michael Moore's most recent movie. And, judging by the trailer, it's gonna be hilarious - even if it doesn't actually seem to make Moore less credible.
I mean, they've got Ann Coulter and Ed Koch; an actual defense of the Patriot Act (!); some cheap strawman one-liners, claiming that Michael Moore denied any terrorist threat whatsoever and that "we" don't have any liberty; the line "I want a president seeing things in black and white"; and, best of all, the following brilliant piece of reasoning:

" Here is a man that says the United States has spread misery throughout the world...
:: pause ::
... Come on."

That one had me in stitches, literally. :D

Well, if I ever get the opportunity, I'll definitely try to see it, if only for comic value. There are many things you could criticise regarding F9/11, so it shouldn't be too difficult to counter at least *some* of Moore's points, right? ;)

The trailer can be seen here, by the way. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Highly amusing. There are some pretty hefty strawmen in there, 'if they only had a brain...' [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm definately going to see it (if it is released here).

It's a DVD-only release for now, unfortunately. :(

The Hierophant 09-07-2004 06:37 AM

Ah. So it is. Well in that case it's probably more likely to get released waaaaaaay down here [img]smile.gif[/img] But if not, I'll just get my flatmate to score me a pirated copy.... uh, I mean, I'll just have to go without... ;)


ps: Is it just me, or does anyone else wanna bone Ann Coulter? If she's as aggressive in the sack as she is in her politics we'd be in for a treat ;)

I'm glad someone finally said that out loud. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

I believe passionate conservatism is something that more people could get behind. ;)

The women the conserves put forth to speak are for the most part babes. They got to release all that pinned up stuff some where, That's why I'm a conservative, the conserve chicks are hot. ;)

Moore gambles on top Oscar award

Michael Moore says he won't submit "Fahrenheit 9/11" for consideration as best documentary at this year's Academy Awards. Instead, he's going for the bigger prize of best picture.

If it does, then it's time to bring back HUAC. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

Moore has an over sized ego, which suits him. He has a large body as well.
