Farenheit 9/11 Parties Across US

Hundreds of house parties took place in the US to discuss Michael Moore's new documentary film, "Farenheit 9/11", on Monday evening, June 28.

Available by internet stream, producer Michael Moore spoke to his US audience and encouraged them to organize against George W. Bush in the upcoming November presidential elections.

House parties organized by the internet list serve, MoveOn.org, used the internet to hear the director of the documentary film "Farenheit 9/11" and to send in questions from the party goers. Although many questions were sent in, only a few were answered because there were so many house parties. MoveOn.org displayed a map of the US which showed where all the house parties were located. In many areas the dots merged together to form a large mass. It was impressive to see where the activists with internet connections were located.

Most of the discussion was about the initial success of the film at box offices across the nation, the positive responses from it, and how to defeat George Bush in the upcoming Presidential elections. Moore said he believes that people who were unsure about the reasons to invade Iraq as stated by President Bush, were convinced by seeing this film, that he is not acting in the best interest of the United States, and that he should not be re-elected.

Moore said many people have told him, after seeing the film, that they felt lied to and decieved by President Bush. Many people question why the press was so cooperative with Bush's lies, and wonder why they did not question what Bush was saying at the time. Many people who saw the film question why some of the footage that is used in it was never shown by the press since the footage is taken from the press archives.

The remainder of the internet stream was used to discuss MoveOn.org's plan to defeat Bush by organizing a phone party on July 11. At that time people will gather with their cell phones and call unregistered voters to encourage them to register and vote against Bush in the November elections.

At our house party, over 50 neighbors from nearby areas socialized and spoke about the movie and future plans to defeat Bush. Many thanks to our host and hostess for providing their home and internet connection with patio speakers to accomodate the large overflow. Although this home is in an ethnically mixed and socially mixed neighborhood (in Los Angeles), the attendees, who mostly did not know each other, appeared to be primarily white middle class. I find this to be an interesting use of the internet to organize this sector. People seemed very relaxled and comfortable with the cultural aspect of it. I wonder if the internet is a tool that can be used in more culturally diverse ways?

Simpletons.

I give praise to Almighty God that I can see beyond the edges of my own vanity and comfort to the greater picture.

America is at WAR because the thugs of a sand-clogged gutter religion demand death.

We would've lost WW2 had American suffered this modern-day cabal of traitorous head-in-the-sand communists, socialists, statists, communitarians, anarchists, marxists, stalinists, victicrats and historical revisionists in the 40s.

The murderers of Amercia's greatness have replaced the corpse with a divided land of ignorami barely worth saving.

Fatboy's revisionist fluff sells tickets while you eat his shit.

Good luck with Kerry. His 500 million dollar ass is going to need your tax cut back.

idiots.

Whatta weirdo.

I suck whale dick.

hallelujah?

i'm baffled.

why do you all hate michael moore so much? he's just one filmmaker with a vendetta. his movie hasn't even beat "White Chicks" yet.

obviously another uninformed freeper

by Sy$TeMF@iLuRe Thursday, Jul. 01, 2004 at 3:42 AM

Thats right

Brainwashed morons trying to compare WW2 to 9-11.

I dont think so.

In that same vein of thought, when the japanese bombed pearl harbor, we should have attacked Mexico.

No wmds, no al queda connection, lies upon lies.

Yet these morons continue to follow the party line.

Follow heroin man Limbaugh. Follow the rich boys controlling the world.

Keep your head buried in the sand.

and the rich boys are laughing at you.

unbelievable.

Thats right

Brainwashed morons trying to compare WW2 to 9-11.

>>>> If you had a fucking clue, you would see the comparison is not about the wars but the attitudes of patriots of the 40s versus homegrown brainwashed leftists of today, sapped by cultural marxism and trained to hate America. Congrats on being the perfect dupe. Extra points if you're a self-hating White person.



In that same vein of thought, when the japanese bombed pearl harbor, we should have attacked Mexico.

>>>> Hey dummy, we didn't attack iraq after 9-11, we fought the Taliban where? Afghanistan.

No wmds, no al queda connection, lies upon lies.

>>>> Go complain to the UN and all your democrap buddies about "lies," since Bush only continued THEIR line of reasoning and took actionin. We also had to clean up 8 years of Clinton's shit, and that also takes time.

Yet these morons continue to follow the party line.

Follow heroin man Limbaugh. Follow the rich boys controlling the world.

Keep your head buried in the sand.

and the rich boys are laughing at you.

>>> As Moore and Kerry at laugh at you, the socialist dupe, robbed of his history, his God and his faith in anything.

>>> To show how shaky your pathetic lefty empire really is, a single Limbaugh on AM RADIO smashes the multi-billion dollar CNN-ABC-CBS-MSNBC-AirAmeri-con-NYLA-Times temple of lies to splinters EVERY DAY.



EVEN WHILE "HIGH," RUSH IS RIGHT.

So, how often do you guys have to shave your heads...every day...every other day...?

...if it gets too stubbly do they goosestep-kick you out of the cheetos club or what?

is that ll you've got?

by you're losing your "powers" GaYPC Thursday, Jul. 01, 2004 at 3:31 PM

More lip from a leftist fascist racist. Your "secret" belief that you're better than other races and therefore must care for them harms them more than anything else.

Nothin more pathetic than a guilty white liberal stooge.

Sorry about calling you names.

As for being better than everyone, maybe so.

God doesn't see it that way tho.

Except for the fact that you ARE a whiny white ass havin' motherfucker.

Probably the "whitest" bastard on this board.

by more rational Friday, Jul. 02, 2004 at 6:20 AM

Of course the internet can be used in socially relevant ways. There's this thing here you're reading. There that queue of interesting emails that inform you of what's going on around town.

This thing about watching Moore's thing is more like television than the internet.

The "internet" aspect was the online organizing that got you into the room to watch him.

ya might wanna be careful when you tell someone you're "right"

by Sy$TeMF@iLuRe Saturday, Jul. 03, 2004 at 8:02 AM

Wow mr "de "lose " inal

Your lack of logic and lack of clues is amazing

>>>> If you had a fucking clue, you would see the comparison is not about the wars but the attitudes of patriots of the 40s versus homegrown brainwashed leftists of today, sapped by cultural marxism and trained to hate America. Congrats on being the perfect dupe. Extra points if you're a self-hating White person.

WOW (AGAIN)---WHATS THE DEFINITION OF A PATRIOT AGAIN?

THE CULTERAL MAXISM (I ASSUME YOU MEAN THE 50S?)

REMEMBER BLACK LISTS AND MCCARTHYISM.

THE COMMUNIST SCARE TACTICS OF THE GOVT?

GIMME A BREAK

IM SURE IF YOU LIVED IN THE 1860S YOU WOULD BE OPPOSED TO THE "SELF HATING" "WHITEYS" THAT HATED THEIR RACE ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR ANOTHERS RIGHT TO LIVE.

WHO WAS THE PATRIOT THEN?



In that same vein of thought, when the japanese bombed pearl harbor, we should have attacked Mexico.

>>>> Hey dummy, we didn't attack iraq after 9-11, we fought the Taliban where? Afghanistan.

REALLY?

135 000 TROOPS IN IRAQ

15 000 TROOPS IN IRAQ (AFTER WAITING 2 MONTHS TO ENTER AFGANISTAN)

SOUNDS LIKE AN IMMEDIATE OVERWHELMING ATTACK PLAN.

No wmds, no al queda connection, lies upon lies.

>>>> Go complain to the UN and all your democrap buddies about "lies," since Bush only continued THEIR line of reasoning and took actionin. We also had to clean up 8 years of Clinton's shit, and that also takes time.

THATS YOUR ARGUMENT?

SEROIUSLY?

COMPLAIN TO THE UN --WHILE GW VIOLATED ARTICLE 6 OF THE US CONSTITUTION BY GOING AGAINST THE UN WHO VOTED --NOT TO GO TO WAR--

CLEAN UP CLINTONS SHIT?

IN IRAQ?

HE CONTINUED TO BOMB THE ___ OUT OF THEM AND CONTINUE US (NOT UN) MANDATED "NO FLY ZONES"

SO PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR "CLINTON" ARGUMENT.

Yet these morons continue to follow the party line.

Follow heroin man Limbaugh. Follow the rich boys controlling the world.

Keep your head buried in the sand.

and the rich boys are laughing at you.

>>> As Moore and Kerry at laugh at you, the socialist dupe, robbed of his history, his God and his faith in anything.

ONCE AGAIN---NO ARGUMENT ENGAGED

ROBBED OF HISTORY?

GOD AND FAITH?

ARE YOU SOME CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST OF SOMTHING?

STICK TO THE ARGUMENT.

>>> To show how shaky your pathetic lefty empire really is, a single Limbaugh on AM RADIO smashes the multi-billion dollar CNN-ABC-CBS-MSNBC-AirAmeri-con-NYLA-Times temple of lies to splinters EVERY DAY.

Even while "high" rush is right.



BECAUSE 20 MILLION PEOPLE SAY IT IS SO MAKES IT TRUE?

ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION.

LIKE PHILOSOPHY AND ARGUMENTATION?

HERE------

emotion, appeal to (argumentum ad populum)

The informal fallacy of persuading someone to accept (or reject) a conclusion by arousing favorable (or unfavorable) emotions toward it or by emphasizing its widespread acceptance (or rejection) by others.

PROUDLY FOLLOWING A DRUG ADDICT IN LIMBAUGHT.

AND AN ALCOHOLIC IN BUSH.

----------------

HOW DID A HITLER GET AN ENTIRE COUNRTY TO FOLLOW HIS HATRED?

HOW MANY DRUG ADDICTS WERE IN HIS "CABINET"

GET REAL AND GET A CLUE AND YOU WONT BE SO DELUSIONAL.
