Expect Violent Protests at Opening of 9/11
I did some modest Googling of the anti-Fahrenheit 9/11 web sites (try this for example) to see what the rhetoric was. Not too surprisingly, there has been a concerted effort to terrorize theaters into not showing the film, and plans to protest (violently in some cases) the opening. It occurred to me that the same kind of violent, hate-filled protesting that goes on at abortion clinics would be the order of the day, and sadly, those opposed to Moore's film are planning just that.
It's sickening to see "Americans" calling for the banning of a film they haven't seen simply because it challenges them to see beyond the simple, stupid rhetoric of their adored Great Leader. If they could only grasp the notion that, even if you don't agree with the film's premise, the fact that it will be seen is proof that the Constitution is still working utter eludes them.
I liked Roger and Me, but you have to be careful with Moore's scripting and slanting of an issue (like all media)to achieve his opinion, which he parades as an 'innocent documentary.'
