Am Having A Co-Worker REPUKE Over To My House This Weekend To Watch F9/11! |
|
well, he pretty much hates BOTH parties and SAYS he isn't likely to vote but he agreed to come to my house to watch F9/11. Says if I just loaned him the movie, he wouldn't watch it. BUT, says if he watches it WITH ME and "GETS MY TAKE ON IT", he would be "VERY INTERESTED".
I have told him about SOME of it and warned him it would be an information "dump" (he doesn't even know that Bush's Motorcade was EGGED on Inaguration Day) and i think its gonna BLOW HIM AWAY.
I might (MIGHT) be able to sway him this weekend (I think it CAN be done). He is a nice guy and fairly bright (just disillusioned) and a good chap so it could be REAL FUN!
We shall see. I'll keep you all updated.

Just be sure to lock the dancing purple dino in the bedroom while he's there. Don't want to give him the wrong idea.... :7

2. Cool! I think he'll like it.. |
|
From the admonishments of republican types around me, I expected 9/11 to be very, very biased against Bush, to the point of being unwatchable for someone not against Bush. I think your friend will get a lot out of it.. I didn't find anything particularly glaring that would turn off a normal republican. Moore did a great job in presenting things with his POV, but.. the facts are there... and that's what really hit the republicans that saw it. Good luck.

6. yeah, he originally thought it was pure propoganda |
|
i told him it WAS anti-bush but MOSTLY with Bush's own words. he is open to seeing it WITH ME
wants my analysis and admits i know MUCH MORE than he does about these events. hell, it JUST MIGHT SWAY HIM to vote (and NOT for DimSon!)
*fingers crossed*

Good luck. Offer him a refreshing malt beverage if he drinks. Alcohol |

makes one more susceptible.

5. Be moderate and polite about it. |

He'll be more inclined to believe you and Moore.

My folks sent a copy to my grandmother at a nursing home in NM, more than a thousand seniors there. She says they are lining up to borrow it.

I wouldn't even discuss it with him--neither before nor after--only say enough to be polite. Just let it sink in.

11. Well, his vote might just be enough to make Massachusetts go ... |
|
... for Kerry. :evilgrin:
Seriously, though, only a major landslide against Bushocchio would allay my misgivings about our nation's continued corruption. We have years and years of damage that needs to be undone - one person at a time.
