Will Michael Moore Go to Crawford?
Wouldn't it be awesome if Michael Moore showed up in Crawford?

Michael - if you're reading this - pack your bags, buddy! Cindy needs you! America needs you!

2. I don't know
Could go either way - Michael carries a lot of baggage with him, wherever he goes. This isn't entirely his fault, but there it is. He could end up overshadowing the larger event.

3. I emailed Moore about this, but he never responded...
I wonder if it would be better if he just sent a camera crew and didnt show up himself. I was all for this yesterday, but I thought about it and think its best if this is all about Cindy and the families of loved ones who died for this LIE.

5. I certainly hope not
The last thing Cindy needs is a distraction.

13. I hope not too!
I like Michael, but if he goes down then all the media attention is going to be about "Michael Moore, Michael Moore, Michael Moore". It will be nothing but a gigantic distraction. The attention needs to be 100% on the disastrous and illegal war in Iraq and the craven coward on his pig farm who is responsible for it all.

Please, Michael, DON'T GO!

6. I disagree...
Let's keep the focus on the Mom who lost her son.

Diffusion of that focus would be counterproductive, I believe.


I'd rather see 2 million regular Americans there instead.

8. Exactly
If Michael Moore went to Crawford the media would focus on him rather than on Cindy Sheehan and her crusade to confront Bush with the truth he hides from, sniveling coward that he is. Personally I think MM will wisely stay away from Crawford while offering support for her cause from his website.

11. Exactly....This is Cindy's fight and those GoldStar Mothers and Veterans
who are with her. Moore knows that showing up right now would just make it about HIM and not her cause.

If she's arrested, I'll bet we will see lots of action from Mike Moore and others to her defense. That would be the time to step in. She's doing a great job on her own. What courage she has!

7. Cindy has appealed for all to join her
Why do DUers persist in contradicting her? Let's show some support here.

9. Please re-read the messages
She is not being contradicted and is being supported.

12. She has appealed to ALL who can to come to Crawford
A whole lot of people keep trying to make exceptions.

Media coverage is what Cindy wants and needs. If MM did go down, he would be there as media covering her, not to take over the show. God, remember how he brought attntion to Lila Lipscomb?

That said, I have no idea whether he's going to go down or not. But he has been giving Cindy a lot of great publicity on his webpage.

10. Gonna agree with folks here

The attention needs to be kept on Cindy and the families of those who have loved ones that died in Iraq who want questions answered. Mike is awesome and all, but he might take the attention away from where it should be at (albeit unintentionally).

14. I would hate him Moore than that lying Son of a Bush!
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 03:01 PM by Wizard777
That would be Rove's wet dream come true. Then he could write off Cindy as another scripted Hollywood (a place where nothing is real) attack. Cindy is real and so is her cause! Mike's presence could only harm that. Cindy is a real person, with a real dilema, and demanding real answers. Cindy is the American National Congress. She is representing the largly ignored and supressed majority of America. She is doing what the Wussies in the Senate and House are afraid to do. She is standing up to the terrorist dictator George Bush. If only America had more Senators and House Rep.s like Cindy. America would be the greatest nation on earth once again.
