Right trying to stop release of F9/11-READ!
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 08:04 PM by Clinton Crusader
This just came into my mailbox----
----------------------------------


9/20/2004

We,

As we noted in an update a few days ago, Michael Moore is set
to try to hijack the election.

On October 5, Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" will be released on DVD.
We understand on good authority that a massive effort is
underway to get this DVD (and video) out to millions before
the election.

In fact, there is even talk that Moore may show his movie on
prime-time television on the eve of the election!

Even worse, as you know, retailers like Wal-Mart and others are
going to be selling millions of Moore's DVD, but are resisting
carrying counterparts like the explosive FahrenHYPE 911.

+ + Grassfire Responds with Largest Campaign in History

We simply could not sit by and watch as millions of citizens
fall prey to his brand of lies and deceit -- especially at
this crucial time. That's why Grassfire is launching the
largest effort in our history.

Over the next two weeks, Grassfire is conducting a massive
campaign by radio, e-mail and the Internet that will reach
a total audience of 78 million to counter the damaging effects
of Moore's movie.

+ + Special Pre-Release of NEW Moore Expose DVD!

Plus, we are thrilled to report that Grassfire has finalized
arrangements with the producers of the new expose, FahrenHYPE 911,
to offer this powerful DVD as a special PRE-RELEASE to our
team members!

Grassfire's historic campaign blankets Bill O'Reilly's
radio program, Mike Gallagher's talk show, and Bill Bennett's
Morning in America. We are also blitzing the nation's two
largest markets (New York and Los Angeles). Plus, we are
finalizing a breakthrough multi-media presentation exposing
Moore's deceits that we believe will spread across the Internet
like a grassfire!

+ + Just $30 can preempt Moore's disinformation campaign!

In all, this campaign will cost well over $50,000. Because the
timing is so critical, we had little choice but to go ahead and
"green light" this campaign in the hope that friends like you
would see the seriousness of this situation and join with Grassfire.

Will you help?

We, your gift of $30 can help us reach 46,000
citizens in the next few weeks as we pre-empt Moore's
DVD release.

+ + Special Gift for You: Pre-Release of Moore Expose DVD!

In appreciation of a gift of any amount, Grassfire will send you
two copies of our breakthrough booklet, Michael Moore's misleads.

If you can send $30 or more (to help us reach 46,000 people!), we
will ALSO send you a PRE-RELEASE copy of this new DVD that
emphatically exposes Moore's lies and misleads.

Remember, Grassfire has been given permission from the producers
of this DVD to offer this exclusively to our team members as a
special PRE-RELEASE prior to the general public release.

+ + We must stop Moore!

Michael Moore has one goal -- to hijack this election--even if it
means selling lies to the American people! Our nation and our
people deserve better, and we simply must do everything in our
power to expose Moore. Thank you once again for your generous
support already. I look forward to hearing from you.

1. Ah censorship
and ignorance. Don't you just love the nut cases? They most likely have never seen the film and yet they want to censor it. My feeling is that if they are so scared of it, then Moore did something right. And it has made him rich, so he will reap the benefits of the bush tax cuts. That is funny, if you think about it.

27. If you send them $35 maybe they can also heal
someone named Jeff who lives in Ohio somewhere and who is suffering from knee pain...

God if these people weren't so deliberate in their stupidity they'd be genuinely pitiful.

3. Um . $50 K
won't get them out of the gate.

Maybe someone will pass along a list of all these "lies" and "misdeeds" of MM. No rw'er I've argued with has been able to supply a single one.

My guess is it will be like those mailers you get that promise to show you how to generate $millions, and never tell you a damn thing.

11. Only one F911 inaccuracy I've heard of:
The book bush* read in the schoolroom is titled The Pet Goat and not My Pet Goat as Michael Moore alledges.

:)

These guys sound like desperate losers! I like how they try to "cleverly" alter the titles of his book and movies. As if it's going to hurt his feelings or trick someone into buying their crap.

13. LOL . Let me make a *note*
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 10:27 PM by drfemoe
of that, so if I run into any more freeps, I can help 'em out.
"The" and not "My". Got it. Major!

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/movies/apmovies_story.asp?category=1402&slug=Michael%20Moore
Moore reads 'My Pet Goat' to audience

So, was it "The" or "My"? All these pressing issues ..

22. THE or My??????? this could be huge
This could be just the tip of the iceberg, people...

Can you discern clearly what typeface the title of the book is written on? How do we know that's the actual children's book Shrub was reading on 9-11. Can you say, "forgery"??

I'm willing to bet the Bush campaign put this out there and is just waiting for the other plane... ahem, shoe to drop.

The man is a Texan. He's been through this before many times dealing with the childrens book industry in Texas. Have faith in him. We will soon be hearing more about this left-wing coverup. "My" Pet Goat, indeed!

"Is" and the meaning of "Is" was impeachable.

5. Hehehe, nice try, FReepers--this is way too little, way too late.
I wouldn't be surprised if F9-11 more than doubles the number of people who see it when it comes out on video.

It had a short run in a lot of venues, AND a lot of people don't have time to go to the theater etc.

Bring it on, Michael Moore.

12. Thanks for the reminder! Just pre-ordered.
Sort of went on a shopping spree:
pre-ordered F-9/11 with "The Hunting of the President"

also ordered "Fortunate Son", "Bushwhacked", and "Shrub"

looks like a month of fascinating reading! :)

26. Stuuupid sheeple.
Didn't they hear? When John McCain mentioned F 9-11 during his speech at the RNC, the following week F 9-11 brought in 10% more than the previous week, and in LESS theaters! LOL.

And now these idiots do this? Son of a gun, it worked again.
Now I'm going to buy at least four copies. Have to have plenty to share with the neighbors and friends. And I'll buy even more if I can afford it! :)

28. perhaps it's a scam to empty the pockets of willing freepers.
what a happy thought -- wouldn't it be great to create a site and/or an organization, get a few freeper email lists, then solicit funds in the name of stopping those awful, awful libruls.

either pocket the money or give it to some worthwhile causes.

hmmmm.......

Snort. Yeah, that'll reach millions. :eyes:

32. I f***ing HATE Mike Gallagher!!!
Sorry, I just had to say that.

I agree, this little "boycott" will only drive sales of F9/11 higher.

31. I say BRING IT ON .. it's hysterical...
It will only helps us in argument that some conservatives have indeed become full blown willing supporters of fascism who hate the values of America. They've become so convinced of their superiority they are unmanagable.

This why I think Rove is actually destroying his own party...
karma does exist.
