If Only More * Supporters Would Have Watched Farhenheit 9/11 When It Came Out....
maybe they would have come to their senses sooner. Now I see that many are non-supportive of * - but it is too late. They let the cat out of the bag.

I still can't get over how many * supporters wouldn't even look at F911 and draw their own conclusions. They were pig-headed and listened to the Repug talking heads like Rush and Hannity and wouldn't even take a look at it and evaluate it on their own.

I purchased extra copies and circulated them to my Repug friends only to have them sent back or find out that they never looked at it. They hated Michael Moore(MM) so much they wouldn't even give it a chance.

I'm now trying again to get them to watch. I don't think it is too late to try and get them to come to their senses.

I wish MM would come out with a follow-up soon.

1. The vast majority had no room in their belief system to allow them to
see, never mind process, what they would have seen. I think it would have had the opposite impact- his supporters have no need of the truth.

2. Unfortunately, one of the first moves of rw churches is to teach
their slaves what not to read, see, or hear. Just Hayes, Rush, and Disney.

3. I feel the same way
I almost bought a copy of An Inconvenient Truth for my father-in-law (and considered asking him to buy me a copy just to see him cringe) for Christmas, but I also knew he would never really watch it.

He hates MM, Gore, Rosie, and pretty much everyone else that Luntz (FOX, Rush, the NRA) tells him to hate.

4. It's not that they hated Michael Moore -
It's that they were told that they were supposed to hate Michael Moore. And being good little authoritarians, they accepted that.

You cannot hate what you don't know.

5. Yup, the right-wing media launched a pre-emptive campaign of
hatred against Michael Moore, so that the average Bush supporter would come to think of him as something slightly more evil than Joseph Goebbels.

Keep that in mind whenever the MSM tell you that you're supposed to hate or ridicule someone.
