Brother-in-law won't watch my copy of FAHRENHEIT 9/11
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 03:41 PM by Paragon
Said he doesn't "like watching things that are so one-sided" -- to which, of course, I replied that he'd been watching the other side's version (Bush's) for four years.

Nothing.

He did, to his credit, watch Bowling For Columbine with my (Kerry-supporting) sister & I -- and he was upset by Moore's interview with Moses. I have to admit, I didn't care for Mike laying the girl's picture on his property afterward, either.

He still seems to be an undecided voter, so...suggestions?

2. Has he watched the debates?
I would think he would be impressed with Kerry/Edwards after seeing the debates and this may open his mind to viewing F9/11. Get him to watch the next two debates and keep working on him.

5. point out that that F9/11 is pro-military
It actually is. He talks about things like benefits cuts to military people, and at the end asks "Will they ever trust us again."

6. Duct tape him to the chair and use toothpicks to hold his eyes open
Then force him to watch.
