Why not adopt some rightwing tactics...
I have heard from several right wingers that they snuck into Farenheit 911 after purchasing a ticket to another movie. I suggest that we do the reverse. If you are going to see a movie, find out when Farenheit 911 is showing and try to match the showtime up with the film you want to see. Then simply buy a ticket for F911 and go to the other movie.

No telling how many tickets to White Chicks were bought by rightwingers who then saw F911.

1. Tickets are checked at most megaplexes
especially those showing popular movies. I think these stories can be tossed off as apocryphal, although I should think Moore would appreciate anyone making that sort of effort to see his movie. He doesn't strike me as caring so much about the few cents' royalty on every person as he does about getting his message out.

If somebody repeats this story to you, sweetly point out that it makes him a liar AND a thief, and those are very unchristian things to be.

Right wingers hate being called unchristian, especially when it's true.

5. "Right wingers hate being called unchristian . . .
especially when it's true."

Which is what prompted me to affix my new bumper sticker to my car:

"It takes more than a chrome fish, pal."

4. Why?
If any conservatives really are doing this, it's to their shame and their detriment.

I don't need to buy a ticket to see "Fahrenheit 9/11" then go see something else. I need to see "Fahrenheit 9/11" -- and so do you.

6. I have seen it
once with 4 people I took and I am seeing again later this week with 4 more people I am buying tickets for. I just think that if the box office falls dramatically this weekend for F911, rightwingers will be crowing about the failure of this film and those who support it.

9. Why? do the ends justify the means?
Theft is still theft.

I can't believe how many times I've heard them advocate this on talk radio. And I only listen for a half hour on my way to work and then while running errands.

Good family values - I'm sure.

Lets try to have just a tad more integrity than they do.
