Fahrenheit 9-11 and the Burning of Bush: A review, by M. Rectenwald
Fahrenheit 9-11 and the Burning of Bush: A review, by Michael Rectenwald

"There's no question about it, Michael Moore's new film is an all-out assault on the Bush Regime--from its theft of the White House, to its utter implication and embroilment with the perpetrators of 9-11, its real loyalty to the oil-rich Saudi Royal Family, the Bush-bin Laden nexus in the Carlyle Group, and the complete falsity behind the march to War on Iraq. Most importantly, however, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 chronicles the fates of the victims to this series of atrocities: the families of 9/11 victims who demanded but were not (and still are not) able to get answers and thus closure to this event, the US citizens who lost rights and a say in our government, including its elections, the innocent Iraqis dying and being tortured in an unjust war and Occupation, the US soldiers dying and being lied to about the reasons, and the families who lost sons and daughters in Iraq, and without a real shred of justification."

1. Let's not forget the American who is now in prison for saying

'Burning Bush' over a few drinks and turned in to the SS by the bartending. This happened just last year in S. Dakota? This man should be freed!

What a disgraceful Nation we have under Jesus Bush!

2. For those who may not know this charming story
<snip>
Richard Humphreys, a resident of Portland Oregon, was sentenced to three years in jail after he made a joke about President Bush during Bush’s March 2001 trip to Sioux Falls. The joke included the line "I said God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," which was taken as meaning Humphreys wanted to douse Bush in flammable liquid and set him ablaze. A bartender overheard and immediately alerted the police to the activities of this dangerous terrorist. The actual arrest was obviously made before September 11 but the way that event changed the mindset of the American authorities no doubt contributed to the ridiculous three year prison term, which was handed out in June 2002. This story was originally reported by CNN, who mysteriously chose to remove the article from their website just a few weeks after its appearance.

5. We'll do whatever is necessary to wake up from the Bush nightmare...
If Maggot-Face steals the election *again,* we should plan on undoing the (second) Bush coup as quickly as possible.

6. Loews Entertainment was just bought by Carlyle Group, so goodbye...
...to any movies that are critical of Dictator Bush.

Carlyle goes to the movies District-based (and Bush-bin Laden family 'connected') investment firm The Carlyle Group is one of three investors that have agreed to buy Loews Cineplex Entertainment from Onex Corp. and Oaktree Capital Management for $1.46 billion. (Gee, I wonder if they would show Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 911' at the new Carlyle-owned theaters?)
