1. the fact that 911 heroes not associated with the film
are nonetheless endorsing it speaks volumes as to how they have been treated.

That Guilani is even thinking of running for the WH after telling these people it was safe to work at Ground Zero and then to basically abandon them is beyond me.

2. And another thing, if we're so God-damned "free" why can't I travel to Cuba if I want to?
Without fear of prosecution from my own govt? Just because Castro kicked out the greedy capitalists and the Mob everyone should be made to suffer?

3. It's very important that we get behind Michael
These first responders need medical care and we (as in Americans--all of us) owe it to them to take care of them for the injuries suffered in the wake of 9/11. My health insurance policy doesn't cover me in case of acts of war. Does yours? If not, we need to get in gear. The next 9/11 can happen any time, any where to anyone. We need to take care of each other. K&R! :kick:

4. John Feal.
Feal has dedicated his life to helping fellow first responders, he has a website here;

http://www.fealgoodfoundation.com/bio1.htm

A very cool guy, down to earth, has gone through an amazing amount of suffering but has kept his head and has a real mission.

5. GOOD for Michael Moore...and I'm glad they're mad..
Edited on Sun May-13-07 08:49 PM by Triana
...the ISSUE is this:

MICHAEL MOORE does NOT "distort the facts".

DISTORTING THE FACTS (or just NOT reporting them) is the job of the mainstream media ie: Fauz Snooze, MSNBC, CBS, et al.

MICHAEL MOORE UNdistorts them. He takes that lens and brings those facts into STARK, CLEAR focus for the nation to see. And THAT is the problem the bu$histas have with him. He EXPOSES and upsets the status quo that keeps them all RICH, FAT, AND HAPPY AT OUR AND OUR BIGGEST HEROES EXPENSE (ie: troops, and the 9-11 responders, not to mention the poor, minorities, working people, consumers, etc.)

It's NOT that he distorts the facts. It's that he DOESN'T.

I cannot WAIT to see this film and I WILL support it even more fervently now that the bu$histas and the plutocracy are mad. ALL they've done is to ENSURE that this film will be a HUGE HIT the moment it hits the screens. Because people want and NEED to know how they are being SCREWED by the 1% who control the power and wealth in this country.

Pollyannas need not attend the screenings. They can just keep watching Faux Snooze, MSNBC, CBS, et al, in eternal oblivion. The rest of us want the FACTS. UNdistorted. And THAT comes from people like Moore.

IF the LAMESTREAM MEDIA were doing their freaking jobs, people like Michael Moore and the documentaries they produce wouldn't BE so popular. To those who don't like Moore's work, I always say: "TOUGH. Because Moore is NOT the problem. He is a SYMPTOM of the problem. The PROBLEM is that the lamestream media isn't doing its job. IF IT WERE, we wouldn't NEED Michael Moore and those like him to report the damn FACTS that the lamestream media REFUSES to."

7. "A controversial film maker ..."
Edited on Sun May-13-07 09:52 PM by cosmicdot
Editorializing the news ... what a way to start off the story by the teleprompter talking head ... it could just as easily begun with: "Film maker of such notable documentaries as .... Michael Moore ...."


"...handful of rescue workers .."
"...to Cuba ... CASTRO's Cuba..." OMG!
"...stirred up more controversy..."

knr


wonder how past Americans like Upton Sinclair would be portrayed today
by the corporate media ... "Upton Sinclair, a controversial author of 'The Jungle' ...

8. Thousands are going to die from the air after 911
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B2WBD-F-7I

Christine Whitman and Guliani announced the air was ok to breathe
just like Fema said the levys would hold in Katrina
just like the FDA said its ok to eat the melamine tainted pigs and chickens

Now thousands are dying in NY
Noone trusts them anymore
