Michael Moore & F-911 just won the Peoples Choice Award!

[merh]

With Martin Sheen presenting!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Catamount]

1. Yeah!

Fantastic!

[muchacho]

2. sweet!!!

Good speech!

[merh]

7. Didn't you love Martin Sheen's introduction, the way he

joked that at least democracy was still alive at the People's Choice Award? That was a great choice to present the award to Michael Moore.

Michael's speech was great.

[mordarlar]

61. Whether your in a red state, blue state or catatonic state...

I about died when Mel Gibson said this.

[sabra]

14. The speech was perfect!

Go MM!

[Cherie59]

29. I agree 100%! The speech was perfect!

[NationalEnquirer]

79. I loved how he supported the troops and families!

See, we can oppose the war AND STILL SUPPORT the troops. I HATE IT WHEN any opposition to the war, or hell even any bush bashing is seen as anti-american. Man that pisses me off. Anyways, he made a great speech!

[muchacho]

3. promised more F-911s

[Alizaryn]

4. I missed his speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Michael!

[demo dutch]

81. It's on his website

[proud patriot]

5. what was said

sorry my T.V. is being for video games right now .

[merh]

9. Martin Sheen said he was glad to see democracy was still

alive, at least at The People's Choice Awards. The way he made the introduction it was obvious Michael Moore had won.

Michael was gracious and dedicated the award to the families of those fighting in Iraq. He said not to give up, that this is still our nation, not the lefts or the rights, but our nation. He then promised more F 911s.

It was great! I hope freepers' heads are exploding!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[CatholicEdHead]

6. Right wing fodder for the rest of the week and beyond over this

The echo chamber will have a fun time bashing both CBS/Rather and Moore at the same time. The "liberal media" myth will be pushed quite hard.

[Blue_In_AK]

8. That's fabulous

Question -- How could Michael Moore's left-wing nut-job conspiracy-theorist propanda drivel win the People's Choice award when President Bush, whom he mocks, won by such a landslide and has a mandate? OH, I KNOW -- MM RIGGED THE VOTE. /sarcasm off.

[merh]

10. The People's Choice Awards are like exit polls and you know

how reliable they are!

[Amaryllis]

11. LOL !

[roenyc]

60. Thats exactly what they are saying NY Post!!!!

MOORE FUEL TO FIRE (Internet Ballot Stuffing?)
New York Post ^ | 1/10/05 | GERSH KUNTZMAN


Posted on 01/10/2005 1:01:56 AM PST by kattracks



Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" picked up the top honors at last night's People's Choice Awards — amid allegations of ballot stuffing via the Internet.
Although he lost to mainstream hit flicks like "Shrek 2" and "Spider-Man 2" at the box office, Moore had the last laugh, taking advantage of the People's Choice Awards' new Internet voting system to enable "Fahrenheit" to trounce those flicks as favorite motion picture.

In year's past, People's Choice winners had been determined by the Gallup Organization, a national pollster. This year, for the first time, "the people" voted online - and Moore used his popular Web site to tell the film's fans that a vote for "Fahrenheit 9/11" was a vote against President Bush.

"He may have been (barely) the people's choice on Nov. 2, but now the people get to vote again, this time for a movie," Moore wrote on his site.

Many left-wing groups — and even Barbra Streisand — linked to Moore's site.

Accepting the award, Moore didn't refer to his call for ballot-stuffing.

[McCamy Taylor]

71. But the Passion got best Drama so the Right Wingers cant dis the Awards

[glarius]

12. Let's hear the rt. wingers say he doesn't represent the mainstream now!

The FAVOURED his movie!...go Micael!!!!!

[fooj]

13. Now THERE'S A MANDATE!!!!!!!!!!

Polls lowest for 2nd term president in how many years? F-911 wins the PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD...so much for political capital!! Ha Ha!!B-)
Beers all around!!!:toast:

[merh]

15. I love this mandate!

Cheers! :beer:

[DearAbby]

21. Congrats Michael !!! But what were they thinking? The clear majority backs

(*)<~~~the bunghole and his mandate

>snark<

:toast:

Wonderful Job Mike, can't wait for chapter two.

[lavendermist]

16. Some things work out the way they are supposed to...

Michael Moore rocks! :yourock:

[trayfoot]

18. Best News I've had in a Long Time!

WOW! What a testament to how people feel! Fahrenheit 9-11 just won best movie on the People's Choice Awards! Way to go, Michael! Well deserved!

[mdb]

17. Unbelievable

He was up against some heavy competition for this award. And who was Kerry up against? Never mind.

[merh]

20. Ppppsssttt,

THEY STOLE THE F*CKIN ELECTION! You can keep that dribble out of this thread.

[bunny planet]

35. that's right never miss your chance to get a dig in at JK

snooze for you!

[mdb]

40. That wasn't a dig at Kerry. n/t

[mordarlar]

62. Yeah Bush is lame competition. lol

[Number_6]

19. We're taking over

Someone tell the Rethugs that when they try to demonize Michael Moore, they're firmly establishing their place on the Outside (of the Center, the people who are worried, the people with a sense of humor, etc.)

[DearAbby]

22. Wasnt MM's F9/11 up against Mel's Biblical Snuff Film The Passion?

Ah Gee, Teletubbie Fahwell and Robertson spew alert...Surely they will have something to say about this!

SPEW ALERT
:puke:

First use of that icon teehee a hee

[elare]

23. Passion

F9/11 was up against Shrek 2 & (I think) Spiderman 2. Passion also won the final award of the night, but the two movies were in different categories.

[Carolab]

Passion won "best drama". n/t

[merh]

76. Best drama versus FAVORITE FILM ---

what's that tell ya!

[mordarlar]

63. Whether your in a red state, blue state or catatonic state

With a joke even Mel gave a nod to the vote. I think The Passion was a very well made film. It is not always necessary to agree with the context of a film to appreciate it.

[Patsy Stone]

41. Welcome to DU, Number 6! Who is Number 1? n/t

[Number_6]

47. That's the right question

Thank you for recognizing my moniker. Isn't that a great but dreadful place? Number One is.....(muffled sounds of soldiers dressed in formal wear and carrying Gideon's Bibles tossing hypnotic gas bombs into windows....)

[Patsy Stone]

49. By hook or by crook...we will.

"Where am I?"
"In the Village."
"What do you want?"
"Information."
"Who's side are you on?"
"That would be telling. We want information."
"You won't get it!"
"By hook or by crook, we will."
"Who are you?"
"The new Number 2."
"Who is Number 1?"
"You are Number 6."
"I am not a number, I am a free man!"

(Number 2 laughs at him.)

Loooove The Prisoner! Enjoy.

[joevoter]

59. favorite episode?

the western

[Patsy Stone]

68. Free For All

Timely, too... No?

It's election time in the Village. A new Number Two needs to be elected and Number Six is persuaded to stand. Number Six sets out on his election campaign with many promises to his voters but his aim is to discover who Number One is.

Yes, "Living In Harmony," is great. Hell, they're all great!

[joevoter]

86. information

Thanks for inspiring me to replay the episode in my head... One of the best shows ever!

[seito]

Hi Number_6

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

57. Do you do haiku? :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x267995

[merh]

66. I have never tried it

though in my yut, I liked hash! :silly:

I will check it out, thanks.

[Number_6]

84. And what's Welsh for Zen?

Thanks for asking. P.S. I think I might haiku, but not as well as the masters. Thanks very much for the quick animation of images from the TV show which is more real than CNN. Thanks to George Markstein and the entire cast of World War II for the thought-seed of _The Prisoner, and thanks to the U.S. Gummit for bringing it closer to home.

[Twist_U_Up]

24. Let me guess........

now the Peoples Choice Awards are rigged by conspiracy wacko libs LOL

[seito]

25. w00t

My second w00t. Congrats to MM. Beware the progressive revolution.

[earth mom]

26. I'm lovin this news!

I'm sure the freepers are losin it...!

Just wish MM had mentioned the stolen election or slammed Dubya somehow. That would've made my day! I'd love to have heard Shame on you Dubya-Shame on You!

[AtLiberty]

27. When I just Googled, there were only a handful...

...of links to this story. Looks like Canada and France beat the USA. Our MSM is probably sitting around, scratching their head, wondering how to hide this news.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. Welcome to DU. I bet you are right. *lol*

[Cherie59]

28. Yeppie Skippy!!!!!!!!!!

Woo, Hoo !!!

:bounce:

[AtLiberty]

32. Did the audience boo Michael tonight?

According to "The Conservative Voice," yes.

http://www.theconservativevoice.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1889

[helderheid]

34. one lonely boo-er

lonely is the key word.

[merh]

67. The booer was probably Selleck!

not a happy camper, no sir!

[Matariki]

36. you can post comments there.

i just did ;-)

[Matariki]

42. and wow, i never realized

it's kinda fun to taunt 'right wing kooks' ;-)

[rodeodance]

65. I posted a short comment also. feeling good:-)

[Blue_In_AK]

54. Me too.

"I heard no boos - I heard lots of cheers. Michael Moore is a true patriot for telling it like it is."

[Smoochie]

78. me too!!

[saracat]

33. Did you see the pan to Jessica Simpson. Her eyes just radiated hate. Nick

looked happy, though. Interesting. Does anyone know what he thinks of Bush?

[merh]

38. I missed Jessica's expression and Selleck's and that makes

me mad. I was too excited about the win and was typing my post. I would have loved to see those hateful reactions, disgust on repukes faces is a fun thing to see.

I have no idea about Nick's leanings, he is the smarter of the two, maybe he knows enough not to make an face on national tv after the people have voted to award someone a prize.

[Blue_In_AK]

55. I noticed Jessica too ... big frown. :-(

[genius]

37. How far into the show was it?

[saracat]

39. T owards the end .

[merh]

43. It was towards the end, not the last award (that went to the passion)

I don't know what came after his win, possibly favorite actor.

[Patsy Stone]

44. Link to video of Acceptance Speech

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2389369

Woo Hoo! Go, Michael! :)

Big, BIG smile!

[merh]

46. Thank's Patsy.

Does it include the nasty expressions on Selleck's & J Simpson's faces? I sure hope so, I missed them and I hate to miss disgust on the face of such hateful repukes.

[wakemewhenitsover]

53. And the text is on his website...

[McCamy Taylor]

73. Audience loved the speech, Moore looked GOOD in his suit!

[Miami Liberal]

80. Those new glasses looked good on him too

He must have taken some tips from the Queer Eye guys. :)

[Straight Shooter]

45. I just saw MM for the first time since seeing F 9/11

Wow, he sure looks different. He's taken away a huge Repub talking point against him. They can't just make fun of his weight because lots of Repubs are obese, too.

My only quibble is that I hope he isn't keeping whatever he taped during the election for an "Oh My God!" moment in his next film. I hope he's given any taped evidence of election tampering to Arnebeck, to Conyers, to Kerry, to Edwards.

Okay, I'll stop my blah-blah-blah. Congratulations, Michael Moore! Postive proof that the people want the Truth!

:thumbsup:

[SnoopDog]

48. Sends a message - doesn't it.....

[rodeodance]

64. yes, --the choice of the people-- how sweet it is --congratulation MM

[Terre]

50. He looks different without his hat

http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=651146

CONGRATS MICHAEL!!

[Cadence]

51. So now I guess Scarborough is going to have to do

another whole week with Pat Buchanan about why Passion of the Christ better get the Oscar and not F-9/11....

[Patsy Stone]

52. He is such an a-hole. n/t

[Cadence]

56. Yes, yes he is. n/t

[Califooyah Operative]

58. Good. As Maxine Waters put it ........

I thank him for educating the world on the threats to our
democracy and the proceedings of this House on the acceptance of the
Electoral College votes for the 2000 Presidential election.

[Triana]

69. Next for MM...

...he is going to tackle the issue of predatory (and that's being NICE) pharmaceutical and drug companies.

HA!

Kudos for MM. The reich-wingnuts are probably hurling about now. I hope so. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

70. I taped and will have to watch tonight,

but I was so glad to hear that he won. I was watching "Desperate Housewives" and "Boston Legal" (oh, I'm so happy Candace Bergen has joined the cast -- she's so great!). Now I can zip through the awards show tonight without watching the commercials. I'm glad he didn't make a jab at Bush (although they did on "Boston Legal") and having Martin Sheen present the award was a genius decision.

[helderheid]

72. Here's the whole video with Martin Sheen's intro

http://homepage.mac.com/onegoodmove/movies/pcafahrenheit911.html

[merh]

75. Thanks so much. That let me see Selleck's & J. Simpson's

sour faces. I loved it.

[AmerDem]

85. Thanks for the clip

I wasn't able to watch it last night.:kick:

[McCamy Taylor]

74. The people chose Freedom, God and Humor. Americans know what is important.

MM's success proves that Americans dont want to be apolitical, they are just too smart to watch the dog crap the MSM feeds them as "news".

I predict a new generation of MM wanna be's who wont have his talent (he is a genius, but who will try to generate news that is of a higher caliber than what we have seen in a while. I have high hopes for Al Gore's new network.

[yazsir]

77. W's authorized biography

... will be next year's surprise winner after being released only one month before the awards. They'll have a lot of audience shots looking orgasmic, but the lighting will be different.

[merh]

82. The weed's "authorized biography" would definitely be a work

of fiction. Do they have a category for that? :shrug:

[blitzburgh55]

83. I'll bet Kerry

was the people's choice too until the pukes put in the fix. Crooks.
