WHO PAYS THE BILLS FOR \"MOVEAMERICAFORWARD.ORG\"

A web site has launched a campaign to deter theater owners from showing Michael Moore's film, \"Fahrenheit 9-11\". A list of theaters currently committed to showing the film is provided along with exhortations to call and demand that the film be dropped. Some theater owners are reporting receiving death threats.

This web site, \"www.moveamericaforward.org\", is actually an alias for \"www.moveamericaforward.com\". A DNS check reveals that \"www.moveamericaforward.com\" is being run by a Public Relations firm out of San Francisco.

Russo Marsh & Rogers is a political public relations firm with strong ties to the GOP. Sal Russo, a principle in Russo Marsh & Rogers, served as advisor for the \"Recall Grey Davis\" campaign.

So, I guess we know just who is behind the campaign of threats and harassment against theaters showing Moore's film!

He asks them difficult questions, and they stammer and stutter and turn red, and then they either start saying crazy things, or they run away and hide. Suddenly the spell is broken, and they look ridiculous. Their image is one of power and self-control and self-confidence; when that image goes, it's very hard to get it back.\r\n\r\nOne way to deal with Republican liars, accordingly, is not to correct them imperiously with facts and figures and reams of data (God, there are tons!!!) . It's to make them repeat and elaborate on their lies, and let them dig their own graves with their mouths, in front of God and everybody. Until they see that people are laughing at them, and run away, as Ari Fleischer did at a recent press conference.\r\n\r\nPersonally I refuse to give a penny to any politician, much less hundreds of thousands of dollars that is the going rate for bribery these days, I have about as little influence on my government as the average Iraqi had on Hussein or the average Syrian has on its dictatorship.\r\n\r\nBA , like BUSH you are a TOTAL FRAUD.\r\n","author":"Citizen X","parent_id":112442,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-06-14 12:13:08","modified":"2013-11-11 00:30:08","fileurl":""},{"id":112446,"heading":"pure sedition","article":"It's always been 'pure sedition' when you speak truth to arrogant, over reaching power.\nI view the idea as pure Americanism.","author":"Sheepdog","parent_id":112442,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-06-14 12:37:29","modified":"2004-06-14 12:37:29","fileurl":""},{"id":112466,"heading":"BA: "That movie is pure sedition and lies."","article":"You haven't even SEEN the movie yet, you anti-American MORON.","author":"anti-moron","parent_id":112442,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-06-14 16:33:03","modified":"2004-06-14 16:33:03","fileurl":""},{"id":112518,"heading":"The pathetic movie and the pathetic Michael Moore","article":"I've read detailed reviews of that fantasy movie and have a good fix on Michael Moore, propaganda dispenser extraordinaire and an anti-American of the first order.\r\n\r\nLocking him up in Guantanamo with the other anti-American terrorists would seem the next logical step for Mr. Moore.","author":"BA","parent_id":112442,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-06-14 19:48:37","modified":"2004-06-14 19:48:37","fileurl":""},{"id":112540,"heading":"Michael Moore - hand that guy a shovel","article":"He's been producing a mountain of horseshit.
