If The Rpugs Are In A Tizzy Over FR 9/11 . . .

[Dinger]

then why don't THEY make a movie? I speculate it is because they can't. That simple.

-Ding, over and out

[IronLionZion]

1. They do have one

Triumph of the Will

And they control 2 (maybe 3) 24 hour news networks and all branches of government. If they are crying like babies over F911 then boo hoo.

The smallest violin in the world is playing for them.

2. Why make a movie

When you got so much of the media BSing for you.

[Dinger]

3. True . . .

Point well taken. Guess I posted that a little too quick. What the hello was I thinking?

[Cat Atomic]

7. Exactly. The right wing perspective is played round the clock.

[AP]

10. success of F911 partly due to fact that people are starved for truth...

...because of the right wing strangle-hold on other sources of news.

Ie, liberals have the movie because conservatives have the newsmedia.

[Dinger]

15. Yes, We Are Starved For The Truth

"Starved For The Truth," . . . the essence of the world situation now, thanks to this misadministration.

4. They're going to try

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=598&e=4&u=/nm/20040625/film_nm/film_conservative_dc

-- this story is just insane... some highlights --

Scheduled Sept. 9-11 in Dallas, the American Film Renaissance, as the festival will be known, has just been announced by co-founder Jim Hubbard, who said it is bankrolled primarily by some "big-time conservative donors."

The first is "Michael Moore Hates America," made by newcomer Michael Wilson and funded partially by Brian Cartmell, who made a small fortune when he sold his Internet domain registration company, eNic, to Verisign.

<snip>

The second is the bigger-budget effort "Michael & Me" that was made by talk-radio star and soon-to-be TV host Larry Elder. The 90-minute documentary takes on Moore's 2002 anti-gun documentary, "Bowling for Columbine," Elder said.

<snip>

Elder said that he borrows liberally from Moore, including a "Bowling"-like animated segment that has Elder interviewing an obviously tense Moore. "He's sweating and sweating to the point he's reed thin, then he pulls out a gun and shoots me."

5. "For 40 years the left has had a near monopoly..."

"For 40 years the left has had a near monopoly, and we're going to counter that." -- yeah, right, counter with shitty movies spouting lies. No, that's something the RW has never tried.

</sarcasm>

6. ROFLMAO!

I love that one, "Is It True What They Say About Ann?"

Yeah, <Austin Powers>SHE'S A MAN, BABY!</Austin Powers>

11. it'll be dreadful -- but

the right has to fought tooth and nail.
support for liberal efforts has to be geared to fight each of the right's efforts to gain another venue for lying.
taking back the country isn't enough -- we have to take it back and keep it.
and as we have discovered in this election cycle that job is best left to the people -- they can't do it at the top.

16. A thousand pardons

I got a little carried away... sorry

[giant_robot]

13. Typical

Notice the titles: "Michael Moore Hates America" and "Michael and Me". If you can't dispute the facts, attack the messenger. Typical tactics from right-wing brownshirts.

14. DC 9/11

I've heard of this movie, and remember it was shown on TV. I never saw it, but heard it was a bogus puff piece.

What is it about? Is it really as bad as I hear?

BTW: Timothy Bottoms played Dubya in "That's My Bush".

[Kazak]

8. And when they do...guess what...

The idiots won't be able to advertise for it! :D

[AP]

9. They made those anti-clinton videos which Falwell sold, and they have

control of the news media, and they have the 700 club and their run of NPR.
