And what he's doing isn't good? Why not pray to your god for Bush since he claims his policies are faith based?

I can respect such a viewpoint however, Moore is just one of many who strongly disagree with Bush's policy. A strong opposing voice is not a bad thing for America. He raises important questions for people to think about, whether you agree with him or not.

Thank you lil'babykitten.
Yes, we do need opposing views. Though it should be views with facts and not bias.
Axo1ot1, I consider your comment to be a little offensive. No one that knows me considers me to be crazy.

If it starts to affect their sales they will try to stop it.

There apparently is some remarkable standard these days where the president (of either party) doesn't need to be unbiased or base arguments on facts, yet his critics must.
Disney-chosen charities are getting screwed more than anyone....they get 60% of net per an agreement Disney and the Weinsteins made when they negotiated letting the film be distributed by someone other than Miramax.
The Weinsteins are in for the other 40% (Moore is paid out of gross), but the movie's already done much better than anyone expected, so maybe the publicity is worth it...everyone's probably made as much as they were expecting to. Besides, the movie is there to push a certain political view, not necessarily to make money.

Like all the "facts" that President Bush has given us? He had no bias trying to convince the world that we needed to invade a sovereign nation?
edit: Whoops.. Didn't see itai195's post..

It definitely isn't you... I saw a clip from Roger & Me and the interviews he has been doing of late... whoa man, you're letting yourself go.
I hope his next movie attacks the Carb Craze.
Moore is a complete dumbass who twists everything to trick all you ignorant fools.

Michael Moore doesn't represent America. I almost puked when I saw the latest ad for his movie where they photoshopped an American flag onto his hat. Funny though was the photoshop shop job they did transplanting his head on a smaller body in the "Controversey, What Controversey?" ad.
I don't exactly disagree with Moore on some important issues like gun control. However it disgusts me when he parades himself as being for the common man yet turns around and calls Americans stupid and dangerous. In other words he's a fraud.

And what wdlove said was as shocking as when a friend's mom told me that she believed Bush was chosen by God. I guess we've gone right back to a monarchy.

On the rest of the article:
"While unwilling to make any official statement"; the remarks made by some one working for the company are not backed officially. They`d be nuts to do so.
There is a reason Moore's film, whatever its flaws, has been greeted by sold-out audiences that errupt in applause at the end. He gives a voice to those Americans who have been ignored and ridiculed by the current administration. Many of us, good citizens who vote, who volunteer in our schools, who are good parents, and who work hard to make where we live a better place, are sick and tired of being labeled unpatriotic and even traitors for opposing Bush's own global jihad.
If you think giving the opposition a voice destroys your way of life, you have missed what this country is about.

If we're going to talk about films with an ideology that represents a segment of our culture that isn't well enough represented, I think this paints more of a picture than Moore's film.
I vowed never to see f-911 at the theatre, and It's good to see that Moore supports downloading of his movie, because I did just that and viewed it recently.
Total crap ! What a bunch of garbage and propaganda. I didn't gain any info that I did not already know from before I saw that movie. Wow, a bunch of newsclips, most of which I was aware of from before, presented to me by some crackpot narrator bringing on the conspiracy theories, none of which are proven in the movie.
I won't post my review of it here, I'll do that in the other lounge eventually, but I will just say that anybody who applauds this movie is totally blind, and is a person who believes and supports dirty tricks, lies, manipulation and crackpot conspiracy theories. I know there's a few people who don't like Bush, but you guys must be getting damn desperate when you resort to backing a poorly made Nazi style propaganda movie, inorder to back up your distorted views.
I hope the movie fails miserably (not economically obviously, but in it's stated goals.)
This evil left propaganda will backfire miserably on you guys.
I see somebody called someone else a "loser" because he dared to say something negative about this movie. Well bring the personal insults on if you must, I realize the left has nothing else useful to come with, besides attacks.
I will call most of you posting in this thread losers when/if Bush wins in November. You're not even good losers, but miserable losers.
