Even Republicans and military members applaud ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’

By Kevin J. Shay

"There’s a warnin’ sign on the road ahead,
There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead,
Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them,
So I try to forget it, any way I can."

- Neil Young, "Rockin’ in the Free World"

I recently saw Michael Moore’s film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," which even reviewers for conservative media outlets like Fox News have praised. I knew I would like the documentary, based on reviews I read. But still, I can’t remember seeing a movie that has affected me as much. I can’t remember ever seeing a movie where the audience gave it a standing ovation when it ended, which occurred in many more theaters across the country than just the Maryland one I attended.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" made me laugh, made me sad, made me angry, made me optimistic. But most of all, it made me think and want to do even more than I am doing to help get Bush-Cheney out of the White House.

Before you dismiss Moore’s latest film as one that only appeals to people who didn’t like Bush-Cheney much in the first place, consider the reaction of some Bush-Cheney supporters, military veterans and family members who saw it.

Natalie Sorton, a 25-year-old moderate Republican and wife of an infantryman who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, told The Fayetteville Observer in North Carolina, where Fort Bragg is, that the movie changed her opinion of the war in Iraq. "All this movie did was open my eyes a little more to what’s really going on," she said. "I think this is definitely going to have an impact on the election. I’m glad I’m a voter."

1. Great article!

Relates more to the broader picture than F9/11 defense.

I think than when the DVD is out there will be more republicans who will see it as they won't have to worry about being spotted at the theatre. It's an image thing.
