Read between the lines. Site starting about MM being at Take Back America.
http://www.crosswalk.com/news/1275333.html

This is the website, I think, of Rev. Al Mohler, head of the Southern Baptist Seminary. Or at least I see he has a column there. I know him as he is from my area. He is not known for open-mindedness. Read this and see what they are doing here. They have seen us distance ourselves from stars who speak up. This is only a little biddy wedge here in this article, but just watch. Also note who Moore is appearing in the same time-slot with. There is not much here yet, but I have seen this site operate. Just keep an eye out to see if there is any attempt to demand Moore not be present.

For your enlightenment, read a few of the articles on the left.

Standing Up to Take Back America (2-3pm)
Gov. Howard Dean
Democracy for America

Michael Moore
Producer & Director, Fahrenheit 9/11

From the Crosswalk article, I caught this snippet. Let's see how far they go with it.

(CNSNews.com) - Filmmaker Michael Moore will join fellow liberals Howard Dean and Jesse Jackson in Boston next week for three days of events designed to rally the Democratic Party's left, members of whom will be in town for the nomination of John Kerry as the party's standard bearer in this year's presidential race.

The Campaign for America's Future is organizing the "Take Back America" events. The group held a conference in Washington last month that brought together more than 2,500 attendees who vowed to defeat President Bush on Nov. 2."

SNIP..."The Washington conference also featured NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, who created a stir by singling out Republicans as enemies of black Americans and comparing conservatives to the terrorist-sponsoring Taliban government that once ruled Afghanistan.

Republicans have dismissed such attacks, including actress Whoopi Goldberg's vulgarity-laced remarks about Bush earlier this month, as hateful and full of anger...."

1. I just noticed this in the Globe and had the same thought
-about the dems uninviting Cho. Moore has gained more mainstream creds tho- even Clinton recommended the movie.

2. Trouble is they might force the issue just to drive a wedge.
This bunch is famous for that. I am not that familiar with Cho, though I know she used to post at Dean's blog during the campaign. I agree Moore has pretty good creds, but I just got bad vibes reading this.
