11. Lies, lies and more lies

a) the video is available for purchase and for on-line viewing right now. Am I just being thick or doesn't that mean it has been videotaped?

b) According to Hardball on 9/10/04 "today in Washington, a group of former prisoners of war unveiled a documentary." See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5962170 /

c) Also according to Hardball "the former POWs and their filmmaker, whose documentary is only available over the Internet, have formed what is known as a 527, an organization that is collecting money to spread their message through campaign ads."

d) From the website where you can download the f'in film "was activated in late August, just prior to the debut of the film".

So, it's been "available" since 9/10/04, but it's not been "videotaped" yet? WTF? And if I can figure this out, why can't our frickin' liberal media?!?!?!?!?

Not to mention the whole 527 crap means it would be illegal for it to be run so close to the election.

EDITED TO ADD ANOTHER LIE: This group is now part of the SWIFT BOAT group according to it's own website here: "POWs Join Forces with Swift Boat Veterans" http://www.stolenhonor.com/news/view.asp?id=14&page=

WTF? Why isn't the liberal press reporting this crap and why is this being allowed to air?

1. We could get F911 released on broadcast TV on 11/1
We could pressure Michael Moore's DVD distributor to allow a one-time showing of F911 on a major network 2-3 days before the election. The networks would make so much money they would probably not be able to resist. Thoughts?
