An Idea re: F911 is "all lies"

[proud patriot]

I've been mulling this over , and I've come up
with what I think is a good idea .

When a RW shill says F911 is full of lies I propose
responding with :

"You are right it is full of lies , all the news footage
shown in the movie is full of lies and propaganda
Micheal Moore does an amazing job of showing the actual
footage of bush and company lying though their teeth.
Micheal does an astounding job of showing news clips
that the media did not show the American people on replay
for the nightly news . It is apparent after watching
F911 just how many lies have been perpetrated upon the
American people From the White House to the News Media ."

or something along those lines :shrug:

is this a good idea ?

1. Perfect!

I'll use that today!

2. I ask them if they've actually seen it

Then remind them that it's pretty stupid to slam a movie they've never seen.

Also tell them if they have problems giving MM money, buy a ticket for "White Chicks" or find the movie on Kazaa.

Then I accuse them of being too scared to see it. That puts 'em on teh spot.

3. Yes, And F9/11 Is Also Full Of STUPIDITY!

As you watch clip after clip of Bush actually SPEAKING OFF HIS SCRIPT. Or on it. Stupid just the same.

4. Yeah, that's about the size of it.

Of course it's "full of lies". Bush lies, Cheney lies, Condi lies, Rumsfeld lies, Powell lies ...

6. From Bartcop, transcript piece from MM on CBS news.

Excerpt from the June 25 Early Show, between Moore and CBS’s Hannah Storm:

Storm: "So this is satire and not documentary? We shouldn’t see this as..."
Moore: "It’s a satirical documentary."
Storm: "Some have said propaganda, do you buy that? Op-ed?"
Moore: "No, I consider the CBS Evening News propaganda. What I do is..."
Storm: "We’ll move beyond on that."
Moore: "Why? Let’s not move beyond that. Seriously."
Storm: "No, let’s talk about your movie."
Moore: "But why don’t we talk about the Evening News on this network and the
other networks that didn’t do the job they should have done at the beginning of this war?"
Storm: "You know what?"
Moore: "Demanded the evidence, ask the hard questions-"
Storm: "Okay."
Moore: "-we may not of even gone into this war had these networks done their job. I mean, it was
a great disservice to the American people because we depend on people who work here and
the other networks to go after those in power and say 'Hey, wait a minute. You want to send
our kids off to war, we want to know where those weapons of mass destruction are. Let’s see
the proof. Let’s see the proof that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11.’"
Storm: "But-"
Moore: "There was no proof and everybody just got embedded and everybody rolled over and everybody knows that now."
Storm: "Michael, the one thing that journalists try to do is to present both sides of the story.
And it could be argued that you did not do that in this movie."
Moore: "I certainly didn’t. I presented my side..."
Storm: "You presented your side of the story."
Moore: "Because my side, that’s the side of millions of Americans, (the majority) rarely gets told. This is just a humble plea
on my behalf and not to you personally, Hannah. But I’m just saying to journalists in general that instead of
working so hard to tell both sides of the story, why don’t you just tell that one side, which is the administration,
why don’t you ask them the hard questions-"
Storm: "Which I think is something that we all try to do."
Moore: "Well, I think it was a lot of cheerleading going on at the beginning of this war-"
Storm: "Alright."
Moore: "A lot of cheerleading and it didn’t do the public any good to have journalists standing in front
of the camera going 'whoop-dee-do, let’s all go to war’. And, and it’s not their kids going to war.
It’s not the children of the news executives going to war-"
Storm: "Michael, why don’t you do you next movie about networks news, okay? Because this movie..."
Moore: "I know, I think I should do that movie."
Storm: "...because this movie is an attack on the president and his policies."
Moore: "Well, and it also points out how the networks failed us at the beginning of this war and didn’t do their job."

11. Everything in F-9/11 is documented and public record...Unless it's

obviously film and video footage, then it speaks for itself.

As Michael Moore has stated, much of his narration is "satirical"-- in much the same way as when Rush Limbaugh does his show...

Limbaugh says it's "comedy and satirical" and he doesn't understand why the liberals are getting so upset...

Well right back at you conservatives!

15. Will Rogers said it pretty well...
