LOL - I went back and forth on what the correct term was, and I thought someone would correct me if I was wrong!
Look, I'm not out to cause division, or say that I'm right and everyone who disagrees with me is wrong. And, if there is a way that I can see this movie without putting money in MM's pocket, I will.
BUT!!! Please don't be naive and think that it's not political. MM has said time and time and time again that his purpose was to get President Bush out of the White House. Last Friday's
USA Today (hardly what I would consider a conservative paper!) had not one, but several articles concerning this very topic.
This is one article:
USA Today and one quote from it:
"Such criticism focuses on a segment in which Moore suggests that 24 bin Laden family members and 118 other Saudis were improperly allowed to leave the USA by air soon after the 9/11 attacks. Critics say the film implies that the Saudis left while civil aviation was still grounded. In fact, commercial flying had resumed, and the FBI had screened many of the Saudis.
Joanne Doroshow, an associate producer of the film, says the sequence is 'somewhat confusing, admittedly.'"
That's the associate producer of F911, admitting that things are out of sequence, people!
And from Michael Moore himself:
''I would like to see Mr. Bush removed from the White House,'' he said Sunday on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Yes, George Stephanopoulos - from the Clinton Cabinet.
There's a somewhat crude expression about not pissing on my leg and telling me that it's raining - and I personally feel that Michael Moore is pissing on a lot of impressionable young people's legs.
