You're really in for it now. Michael Moore is prepping his next film for production: Farenheit 9/11 and a half

"We want to get cameras rolling now and have it ready in two-three years," Moore says. "We want to document and commercialize it. Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them.

Hooboy! You've really had it now!

"Who is the Democrats' Arnold [Schwartzenegger]? We have a number of them. What American wouldn't vote for Tom Hanks (news)? Hollywood is full of people like that."

At last! Someone who truly understands America's love affair with Hollywood. Will anyone dare challenge this juggernaut of truth?

Thousands of the "Fahrenheit" DVDs have been donated to libraries and schools.

Sure, some of those kids will be 18 by 2008. Good thinking!

Honestly, after all the discussion here about what the Democrats need to do to get back in the ring, seeing the policies of "just like last time, but bigger!" is more than a tad disappointing. Thoughts, anyone?

Of course, if the goal is simply to further enrich Michael Moore, cost to the Democratic party be damned, then carry on.
 
When I saw Tom Hanks and Arnold Schwartzenegger in the same sentence, my brain initially read it as "Tom Arnold," and I let out a Homer Simpson scream.
 
I think a more appropriate name for the movie would be "Boost For 2008 Republican Presidential Candidate." Yeah, I'm sure all those people that didn't see the light with Fahrenheit 911 will come around to Michael's way of thinking when his next movie comes out. What planet is this guy living on?
 
Tom Hanks could say "I'm going to personally eat your children" and I bet he'd still come in with 49% or more of the popular vote.

As long as you didn't eject yourself into space instead of staying on the ship bound for the sun.

Would that Michael Moore and Ann Coulter fall for each other...
 
Yea well,

says it all.

Keep up the good work.

I'm sure it will work next time.
 
From demon's topic on the same subject:

The sequel, to be called Fahrenheit 9/11½, will be timed to coincide with the next election and will revisit the same issues as the previous documentary, which lambasted Mr Bush's presidency, the response to the 11 September attacks and the war in Iraq.

Yes, now that he has a little more political experience under his substantial belt, perhaps Moore will finally be able to defeat Bush's re-election in 2008...
 
I for one commend him.

Rather than give up on the American people and run away to Canada or something, he's decided to continue bringing us the alternative viewpoints that we so sorely need. You may not like his style, and perhaps he is in it for the money, but he is one of the few who dares to publicly question the Bush administration's motives and competence.

And they should be questioned. Pakistan is the one propagating WMD. Saudi Arabia is the one funding terrorism. Iran is the one with ties to al-Qaeda. Yet Bush invades Iraq. And the mainstream media practically gives him a free pass. Why? They're probably afraid that people will be offended if it seems they don't "support the troops", which in turn might cause their precious ratings to slip. So we need people like Moore. Outspoken dissenters like him are essential for a healthy society.

And Moore would have found similar reasoning to oppose a military action against either of those two countries.

Suppose we launched a missile strike on a North Korean nuclear reactor.

Moore: "Why'd you do that when North Korea is encircled by China, SK, and Japan? Meanwhile Saddam is targetting our planes in the no fly zone every week!"

See the issue isn't what Bush does, the issue is Bush.

Perhaps he attacks Bush's actions simply because he was biased against Bush from the beginning. It's possible. Or perhaps he has grown to hate Bush because of his actions. I don't know his exact though processes, and I don't know if we can really conclude that he would have attacked any military action. But in any case my point was that even if he is just a knee-jerk reactionary at heart, he still provides a valuable service by offering an alternative, dissenting view. Of course, his messages should be taken with a grain of salt, because he is, after all, a professional complainer. But at least the message is being put out there.

Incidentally, I don't think he really would attack any use of military force. If we had actually used precision military action to stop North Korea from developing nukes, and had managed to do so without causing more harm than good (i.e. without triggering a full scale war in the region), then of course Moore would look completely foolish if he spoke out against it. The Iraq war, on the other hand, was seriously flawed both in concept and execution, and it's not just a rabid anti-Bush fringe who think so.
