Fahrenheit 9/11
 Frump boy is at it again. The poster child for funny-looking white men who can do and say whatever they want and make millions doing so has once again concocted a manipulative tale of conservative hatred in his latest film Fahrenheit 911 which opens Friday, June 25th. We're talking about a man whose very existence is centered around laying blame for the state of the country on anything and everything conservative, Christian, fundamentalist, anti-liberal or George W. Bush. Yes we're talking about Michael Moore. A website called Moore Exposed, calls themselves, "The website that dares to ask:- Should a 320 pound man advise us on the evils of overconsumption?
- Should the resident of a million-dollar apartment claim to be a poster-boy of the working class?
- Should a person who thought Enron was a great investment, Nader would win, and North Korea's Kim Jong was changing for the better, advise us on ANYTHING?"
This is hilarity at its best. I am unsure if I would dedicate my efforts to actually starting a website against a person. That seems a little like obsessive, no-life, behavior. But hey, it's a good read for me.
My first experience with Michael Moore's work was in my senior year film class. To kick-off our project on documentaries, we watched Roger & Me. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that with clever editing, you can say anything via film. Moore's latest endeavors in Fahrenheit 9/11 are to expose the "connections between the Bush family and prominent Saudis" as well as citing the faults of President Bush's administration. When Disney dropped out of the picture's distribution citing "political reasons" (rolling of the eyes), for a minute there it seemed like the film wouldn't have a distributor. Yeah, right I'm sure. Michael Moore is a walking contradiction who capitalizes on people's fear and promotes a God-less America. La Shawn Barber wrote a piece called The (Rich) Common Man that epitomizes Michael Moore. It will only be a matter of time before his 30 minutes are up. Moore is riding the wave of an ultra-liberal film industry. I just hate that his "voice" seems to be louder than many who proclaim the truth. That will change.
Update: This New York Post article reiforces the rumors about Moore's false "man-of-the-people" position. Apparently, he only takes calls from stars.
