anti-Michael Moore campaign from the GOP, but they try to hide it.

A PR firm with ties to the GOP is trying to get theaters not to show the new Michael Moore movie.

They updated their website registration to try to hide the PR company.

4. Michael Moore has set up a "War Room".........

to defend his movie, F 9-11 from smears and other types of attacks from the RW. I don't how to contact the War Room about this PR firm, but maybe one of the other posters on this board knows more about it.

5. Moore's website?

Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 10:23 PM by lolly

I think it's www.michaelmoore.com?

He probably already knows this if we do, however.

6. Whois

If you feel that the registration is being falsified, you should file a "Whois Data Problem Report" at

http://wdprs.internic.net/

Put "MOVEAMERICAFORWARD.COM" or "MOVEAMERICAFORWARD.ORG" in the first box. To make sure that spurious complaints are not filed, ICANN will send an email back to you. You must respond to that email to verify that your beef is legit.

YOU can prevent truth decay.

13. Exactly

I recall a lot of talk around here about "Passion etc" before it came out but I do not recall anyone trying to organize an effort to keep it from being shown. Further, had such an effort been suggested, I am certain it would have been met with the scorn and derision such an idea deserves.

Those people just don't believe in fairness or freedom in the same way we do. It means constantly trying to win at poker while knowing your opponent cheats whereas you will not, but it also means having the certitude that the moral high ground brings. Our role is to expose every cynical, slimy thing they do and use it against them in the court of public opinion.

14. The fear of opposing ideas

is something I hope Republicans never share with us :-)

12. To be expected

but in the end, the market will determine the success...and my guess is the film will do pretty damn well at the box office, considering all the hype and the fact that many people out there hate this president.
