1. Yup.
He kind of disappointed us down at ACT in Ft. Lauderdale (he canceled an appearance on Sunday), but F9/11 was extremely important.

3. and Eminem!
You can download the Mosh mp3 here:

http://www.stimulate-ltd.com/audio/singles/eminem-mosh -...

I used CDex to convert the mp3 to a WAV and then burned CDS. I gave away 58 copies. I'm also wearing my black hoodie with VOTE in duct tape on the back.

All the people up top, on the side and the middle
Come together, let's all form this swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build, from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people, some white and some black
No matter what color, all that matters we're gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains, let it rain
Yeah, the wetter the better
They ain’t gon’ stop us - they can't
We're stronger now, more then ever
They tell us "No", we say "Yeah"
They tell us "Stop", we say "Go"
Rebel with a rebel yell
Raise hell - we gon’ let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush..
Fuck Bush
Until they bring our troops home, c'mon, just..


Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me, and I wont steer you wrong
Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon’ fight
We gon’ charge, we gon’ stomp
We gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors
Come on..



Imagine it pourin’, it's rainin’ down on us
Moshpits outside the oval office
Someone’s tryin to tell us something
Maybe this is God just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster - this coward that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden
Look at his head noddin’
How could we allow something like this without pumpin' our fists
Now, this is our final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify it, times it, and multiply it by sixteen million
People are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach al CIAda through my speech
Let the president answer our high anarchy
Strap him with a AK-47, let him go fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to thinking that we ain’t loyal
If we don’t serve our own country, we’re patronizing our hero
Look in his eyes, its all lies
The stars and stripes, have been swiped
Washed out and wiped and replaced with his own face
Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight, you’ll know why
‘Cuz I told you to fight

23. What Eminem has done with 'Mosh' is great.............
but Moore has been fearlessly pointing the finger at and exposing Bush and the Republicans for a long time.

4. Amen to that!
And yes, I have voted -- last week in early voting. Just too lazy to change my avatar. Of course, I live in Texas (the only Democratic part of the state at least) so my vote isn't that important, except in local races!

24. That's true
and I would never NOT vote. But let's face it, our electoral votes are going to *. Oh well, the only bad thing about him losing is that he'll probably come back to Texas!

5. Thanks Mike!
F/911 cut through the RW spin and changed many undecideds/fence-sitters.

46. And the Free F9/11 rental reached a ton of people
who probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise. They even offered it at my teeny tiny local video store in my teeny tiny conservative town. I was thrilled to see a huge poster in their front window, and I asked the clerk if a lot of people were taking them up on the free offer and she said LOTS. I bet most of them were folks who never saw it in the theater, wouldn't have payed to rent it, and had their minds blown by it!!!

Hooray for Mike!

7. The only problem I have is that he didnt play F 911 for free yesterday...
couldnt he have sucked it up for ONE day and taken a monetary hit for the cause...I mean the thing has already broken records for most money made by a documantary.....


otherwise yay Mike Moore

9. The scene in the Senate is very compelling
And Michael Moore used every trick in the book to make sure as many people saw the movie as was possible.

Thank you Michael.

13. Yes Indeed.
Michael Moore hates America? Not a chance! No one who hates America would have done so much for it. Huge thanks to Mike, who is one of the greatest Americans in my lifetime. He walks the walk, he puts his money where his mouth is, and he sets a hell of a fine example for all of us.

37. AGREED
I was thanking Moore for his contributions, not for helping us win anything. As you said, we haven't won anything YET. I sense far too much overconfidence in here. It's great to stay positve (and I am VERY positive about our chances), but at this point, that's all they are -- chances, not concrete results.

Keep the focus on the vote, and don't relax until this thing is in the bag.

21. I Think Bin Laden Liked The DVD, Too
Which means that everyone else that liked the movie are in league with Bin Laden. Isn't logic cool?

Never forget the reaction of the people in the theatre, applauding when F9/11 ended.

There's a lot of thanks to go around!

28. It's a movement, not a person
Michael Moore

Howard Dean

Eminem

The blogs

The internet

People able to communicate directly with each other, without the hihgly focused media filters that manufacture consent.

were not at all interested in politics watched F911 and then determined themselves to vote. Kudos, Mike!!!! :loveya:
