A Bur Under the Saddle: Michael Moore in Texas

By Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, July 26, 2004; Page A07


CRAWFORD, Tex., July 25 -- President Bush's weeklong trip to his ranch will be rudely interrupted Wednesday when filmmaker Michael Moore drops in to show his antiwar satire "Fahrenheit 9/11" in enemy territory, eight dusty miles from -- in Moore's view -- the scene of the crime.

Bush critics plan 9/11 screening

Critics of the US-led occupation of Iraq will screen Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 in a Texan town near president George W Bush's ranch.

Just got word Crawford Peace House has received permission from Police Chief to make it a public outdoor event. That means there is room for more people to attend. Spread the word.

On edit: links fixed if they don't work this time go to google and enter search for Crawford Peace House and Fahrenheit 9/11, just tried and the BBC link is working but you have to register at WAPO. I just tried google and there are these two and many more from around the world.

2. Congratulations!
Ha Ha! Michael is going to get so much media coverage for taking this to Crawford.

Too bad this is on a Wednesday. That's a long drive for me.

Wish the Crawford Peace house all the best. Hope some Waco people show up since they probably can see it in good company.

Peace

Sonia

7. Honestly, we'll probably go anyway, but I'm kind of glad Moore is
not coming. He's far too valuable a resource to worry about being put in jeopardy; I hope he goes on to make more documentaries and write more books.

8. I'm glad too
not to mention that they predict thunderstorms tonight and if they DON'T get the thunderstorms, then the high today will probably hit 95+. Not fit for man, beast, Democrats or Republicans.

10. Speak for yourself, please, I sure don't feel embarrassed or ashamed
Were you going to go the movie ANYWAY if Moore wasn't going to show up? Sheesh. It's not as if they didn't talk about showing the movie, PERIOD, in Crawford and the big hope was that the guy sponsoring it would get a copy of the movie to show.

I don't know what his reason is for not coming but the main consideration ought to be HIS MOVIE and not his celebrity. If you feel ashamed because he bowed out, so be it. But you speak for yourself

11. Dac_76, you have no idea what went into this or knowledge of the
people involved. I've seen his movie twice. The first time we paid for 10 to go the second time we paid for 6 to go. How many people have you taken to see F911? Cheney yourself.

12. Personal attacks your forte along with poor attitude?
You have no idea what I do or do not do to promote this election. And you equally are presumptuous to say that M Moore's actions make ALL ashamed, etc. You don't speak for me, I do not share your opinion nor attitude.
