Franken has a "Move America Forward" guy on...
the message:

F 911 is NOT a documentary - it is an op/ed piece.

Moore shouldn't have used the "troops" in his film.

Oh, and a guy from MoveOn.org who just asked the wingnut if he has SEEN the movie

1. Surely someone has told this guy that good documentaries
take a position and argue for it. Documentaries are not NPR news reports. They're supposed to have a message.

2. Criticizing something he's never seen.

This is pretty good.

4. This guy (Kaloogian/winger) is pretty lame. . . .
Not what I would have sent to make my point if opposed the movie.

8. This guy ran in the GOP primary
here in california and was defeated soundly. He'll do just about anything for attention.

5. Actually "Howard" has been fairly polite...
But claims Moore is "abusing" the troops...

And now he goes on about all the "wunnerful" things we're doing in Iraq, building schools, etc.

And bringing "liberty" to millions of Iraqis! Just like those Falluja residents were liberated from their heartbeats.

9. He's been very polite--he also hasn't seen the movie
typical Republican blabbing way beyond his knowledge.

7. And even if it IS an op/ed piece...
No one is forcing people to go see it!

People WANT to see this film. And Repukes can't stand that fact.

11. People shouldn't present things as fact that aren't true
These people are amazing. They'll say things like that and then watch Faux news and think that's just dandy. What a complete moran.

12. absolutely too polite
Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 01:01 PM by Marianne
the guy got in his shots and his propaganda without much of a challenge. Give me RAndi anyday. As usual Franken is concerned about his own reputation and is being "polite" to people like this. Sure they got in the qauestion, but definately looked like wimps. They cited NO facts except for the fact the guy did not see the film yet.

I am sorry--this is simply too wishy washy for me. The guy ranted on and on without much of a challenge. Katherine is the one who showed any sense of outrage near the end, acturally.

Of course we heard again--that Franken went to Iraq. Jesus, here is a guy bashing and doing damage to Moore's ground breaking film, and we hear AGAIN how Franken went to Iraq:eyes:

It seems to be a lot about Franken and not much about exposing the Republican party as abject liars and criminals.

Can't stand Franken--he is a phoney and superficial and tries to make up for that with his
"reputation" He is not really informed imo. I do NOT agree with him that well since we are in Iraq we have to stay there to strighten it out because we wrecked it. He does not realize that he is actualy enforcing Bush's attack. He is an entertainer and not a political analyst and frankly I do not find much of what he does funny at all.
