Just thought I'd remind everyone that Micheal Moore was right.

[Brotherjohn]

"We live in a time where we have a man who's sending us to war for fictitious reasons". (Oscars, March 23, 2003)

Those words, thought to be utterly inflammatory and ridiculous by most people when uttered in 2003, have now proven to be true and accepted by most people in the country.

No WMDs anywhere, forged documents saying that Iraq was pursuing WMDs... "fictitious reasons". No sane person can now seriously argue that.

I just think it says something about how far we've come.

[Wetzelbill]

1. no doubt

[Yavin4]

2. I Posted This Before - There Is Beauty In Truth

Michael Moore speaks truth to power. Truth-tellers get mocked and ridiculed all of the time, but in the end, they're always proven correct.

[soliddemocrat]

20. I agree 100%

You know if people paid more attention to what Michael Moore was saying a couple of years ago with that Fahrenheit 9/11 movie none of this sh*t would be happening right now and President Bush would be impeached,lol. It's such a laugh,omg people are so stupid nowadays. They can't even realize when they're voting for the wrong president. I mean how many psychos does it take to vote for a republican? not very many because usually the psychos end up killing all the democrats and all that's left is the republican farty er party :P. So anyways I couldn't imagine what it must be like being in the republicans shoes walking around with half a brain all day and leaving the other half in the toilet because they forgot to scoop it out when they were using the bathroom :D. Maybe they need a professional surgeon. You know i have some jokes that i'd like to share with you if you're willing to allow it on the boards and i'd be glad to post them on these boards. I love a good political joke every once in awhile. I hope to hear from you soon,good luck in all you do.

Signed,
Greg

34. Hi soliddemocrat!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Fritz67]

40. Yeah...

You know if people paid more attention to what Michael Moore was saying a couple of years ago with that Fahrenheit 9/11 movie none of this sh*t would be happening right now and President Bush would be impeached,lol.

Or John Kerry would've been elected by a majority even Diebold couldn't have hidden.

(sigh)

[Cronus Protagonist]

50. Truth is everlasting

Lies fall by the wayside. Simple as that.

3. Sometimes we take that for granted around here...

but it's worth remembering that it wasn't so obvious to people two years ago.

[artemisia1]

44. ...It was obvious to anyone with the intellectual integrity to look. eom

[Greyhound]

4. and yet I've seen him lambasted on this board.?.

[knowbody0]

5. to me, Michael Moore will always be

a true patriot and ameriKan hero.

[Stirk]

6. Remember the boos he got for stating that obvious fact?

[Crankie Avalon]

7. I guess his great sin was to know something 2 years before...

...so many other people did. The way to make Americans hate you is to be smarter than them.

[pitohui]

24. he was prematurely anti-fascist

as they used to say

[greenbriar]

8. Fareignheit 9/11 on nbc/abc/cbs anyone???

wish it would happen

and before 2006 elections

[Sparkman]

55. That would be amazing. PBS would be the only chance, and slim to none.

[melissinha]

9. I know, we should ask

people to say it out loud, and to send an apology to Moore.

I attended a Michael Moore presentation at UT and it was awesome!!! THe man is right on target...

[Al-CIAda]

10. But the DLC tells us to reject MMoore, Moveon, etc.. Be a good Democrat

and shut up, ok?

[pitohui]

23. a prophet in his own country EOM

.

[tridim]

11. And F-9/11 remains entirely true

and to date no RW hack has provided any example of an untruth in the entire 2 hour film.

I wish Mike didn't drop out of public view after the election, he's a wise voice and we need him out there telling the truth.

[earth mom]

19. Funny ain't it?

Before I saw it-I waited for it to come out on DVD-all I heard was how it was full of lies. But when I saw it, all I could do was nod my head the entire time because it was ALL true!

That's when I realized that the freeper rethugs are REALLY AND TRULY delusional! :crazy:

[petgoat]

22. F-9/11 not entire true

He is unable to document his assertion that Bush's inaugural parade was
"pelted with eggs".

Only one egg was proven.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. Perhaps "pelted with egg" would have been more appropriate. nt

[petgoat]

58. Pelted With Egg

Yes, it was an eggregious eggageration.

[mandyky]

12. It's not that "WE" have come anywhere

it is that the rest of America is waking up. LOL

[jojo54]

13. Anybody know when F-911 1/2 comes out? Thx.

[babylonsister]

16. I thought his next doc. was about the pharma. industry? nt

[jojo54]

26. You know, it might be...

but I thought I had heard somewhere that it was to be called F-811 1/2. I could very well be wrong.

[Frederik]

32. Next one is called "Sicko"

and is about the pharma industry. But he is also going to make a "F911 1 1/2", or so he has said.

[ikojo]

37. I thought it was about HMOs...when F 911 came out

and rumors started circulating about Michael Moore's next documentary, we were told in no uncertain circumstances not to talk to him should he come around.

[redqueen]

14. Yes, he was.

And the SMART people in this country KNEW IT ALL ALONG!

[DanCa]

15. I like Michael Moore

I really wish he'd do a weekly daily show type of progam. That would be killer.

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. He's had a couple TV shows

TV Nation was awesome. He did Jon Stewart before Jon Stewart. TV Nation was on about 10 years ago. You can get it on DVD.

[mrfrapp]

53. The Awful Truth

The Awful Truth was his follow up series although I would say it wasn't as good as TV Nation.

[koopie57]

57. I wonder if

Jon Stewart would not mind giving Michael Moore and short segment once a week, similar to like what Lewis Black does. Or, let Micheal Moore do his show while Jon is on vacation?

I don't understand why liberals get upset with Michael Moore. His means of getting the truth across are unique, but he is always accurate and thought provoking. Maybe cuz they can't control him.

[Zinfandel]

17. The only liberal -Michael Moore- who consistently get huge national and

worldwide attention when he speaks or offers up documentary proof of the fascist right-wing's greed, lies, imperialistism and the republicans and their polluting corporate companies.

The right-wing republicans & BushCo despise Moore for it.

They want to be left alone with no spotlights so they can continue to exploit.

[Frederik]

29. They not only despise him

They fear him.

[samdogmom]

18. I was watching the Oscars, and I cheered his statement!

It was a memorable moment that I WILL NEVER FORGET! Michael Moore is a truth teller!

[carnie_sf]

21. What ever happened

to the idiot who made that film "Michael Moore Hates America"?

[Lautremont]

27. Exactly.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. He's teaching an "abstinence only" class to chimps.

They have notoriously bad self-control.

Edit: Whoa! And I didn't even read the other reply, before I wrote this. Weird.

[nookiemonster]

47. Baffoon! BWAHAHAHA!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. The Daily Show had the funniest bit on him! Here's the video!

[il_lilac]

25. God knows he tried

to wake people up in time. He saw it all coming, but was threatened and ridiculed. I also drove up to Milwaukee to see him. He was suffering from pneumonia but thought the message was too important to take more than a day off his tour. I do so miss his passion right now.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Quick! Boo Him!

God, who let that guy up there? :eyes:

[osaMABUSh]

35. MM spent two years warning everyone about Bush et al

but would they listen? Noooo.

There a saying that "the future is already here it just isn't evenly distributed" (think high tech gadgets) - to paraphrase for Michael Moore's case "the truth is already here it just arrives at different times".

Moore is right and always way ahead of the curve. Can't wait for his next two movies.

[number6]

36. no argument from me

;)

[existentialist]

38. Good point.

[electron_blue]

39. and, yet, Bush's war continues

with no end in sight.

The lack of WMD's, the lies don't seem to matter to 50% of the nation, still.

The problem isn't Bush - it's 50% of the U.S.

[EVDebs]

41. Technically true. 60% voter turnout means Bush got 30+% votes

Kerry got 29+% and a whopping 40% either didn't bother to vote or didn't have their votes counted...

[cynatnite]

42. 'We live in fictitous times'

When I heard that speech on the Oscars it was like getting hit in the head with a hammer and Micheal was telling me to wake up.

Yep, I sure did. Thank you, Michael Moore!

[paineinthearse]

43. The right has been very quite with regard to Michael Moore

At least I have not read of any attacks lately.

[paineinthearse]

45. RW film festival, somewhat tied to MM

[Freedomfried]

46. F-9/11 will be shown in American history classes

to high school students in US public schools in the future. It will still be completely relevant.

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. He was right and I'm waiting for all repukes

to APOLOGIZE to him for all the nasty things they said and did to him.

I know. When hell freezes over. :grr:

[leftchick]

49. 1785 US Dead, 128,000 Iraqi Dead and still dying

that is how far we have come. That is the saddest part of all. :(

[bribri16]

51. i would like to see a Dem ad (or liberal progressive ad) with this:

footage clips from: this quote by Michael Moore,
Colin Powell and Condi Rice saying that Saddam was no threat,
Cheney saying that we know Saddam has WMDs and we know where they are,
Bush saying that the Brits had proof that Saddam was trying buy "yellowcake" from Niger,
Richard Perle saying that Iraq was a threat to the entire region,
Bush saying "Mission Accomplished,"
Bush reading to the kindergarten class on 9/11,
DeLay's election 2000 henchmen in FL rioting at the election recount,
The House Managers walking into chambers to impeach Clinton,
and a few other jewels that I can't remember. Someone would have to put these in the right chron order. But wouldn't it make a terrific 30 sec ad?

[Sparkman]

54. Bandar Bush shiek'g hands with chimp, Saddam & Rummie....great idea

Mining F 911 for 30 sec ad would be richly rewarding!! good strategy.

[GoSolar]

56. Love Michael Moore!

Telling truth to power like no one else.
