Conservatives now want to make documentaries like Michael Moore
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 12:29 AM by Tony_FLADEM
You might think this is for political reasons to influence opinion.

Not so.

They want to make money like F-911 grossed $100+ million.

One other point.

Whenever someone sucks in Hollywood i.e. Bo Derek, JJ from Goodtimes, they say I'm a Conservative.

Then when they still suck, they blame being a conservative for not finding work.

5. Why do conservatives need documentaries. They have Fox News.
What more could they ask for? :eyes:

6. I'm sure they'll be real toe tappers. But really, they are missing the
point. The reason why f911 worked is because he was saying shit that wasnt being covered by MSM. There was an unserved market.

7. FLASH: The RNC produces the First ....
Animated Documentary!

Well, not really. Colin Powell used cartoon drawings of WMD at the UN to prove Saddam was an immediate threat.

9. You need creative talent to do that. Something regressives lack. How
many regressive artists, musicians, fiction authors, actors and filmmakers are out there?

Maybe 5 or 10% of the total?

10. Movies like that have to market to art houses
Which have an almost exclusive liberal crowd. Good luck getting theatre owners interested!

13. Okay, we're all assuming they remember to take the lens caps off...
I'm not thinkin' they're going to do much more than a few hours of black tape.

Let 'em have at. No one's that interested.

14. Go for it, conservatives!
The point made about F9/11 provided information not covered by the corporate media is key. What are conservatives going to talk about that they haven't already rammed down America's throats 24/7/365?

Like there is a market for more of this crap and somebody's going to pay to see it? LOLOLOL.

Nevertheless, I want to encourage them to spin their wheels. I love it when they do that.

There are hundreds of right wing propaganda films at the NAZI archives in Berlin.

17. At a time when the democrats want to distance themselves from
Michael Moore as being too extreme, too (dare I say the word) librul, the Refundicans want to emulate him. Is there something wrong with this picture?

In a sidebar, I haven't noticed the Refundicans trying to distance themselves from hate spewing dopers like Rush.
