"The (Bloomington) Pantagraph newspaper in central Illinois has sent a letter to Moore and his production company, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., asking Moore to apologize for using what the newspaper says was a doctored front page in the film, the paper reported Friday. It also is seeking compensatory damages of $1. "

$1?

It's amazing that your President lies to you about going to war...lies to you about protecting the constitution...on and on and on..but yet so many people would rather focus on a movie.
Seems your priorities just aren't straight.

Show me the proof, show me the proof!

There is no proof. We impeached Clinton for lying about a blow job, think we couldn't remove Bush for lying about something that was killing people? Let us be reasonable people, please

Mr.Fiction · 07-30-2004, 08:29 PM

They are not denying that they ran the article, they are just saying it was on a different date than what Moore showed in the movie?

I wonder how much the Republicans had to pay this paper to sue Moore?

Try again, Rush!

A scene early in the movie that shows newspaper headlines related to the legally contested presidential election of 2000 included a shot of The Pantagraph's Dec. 19, 2001, front page, with the prominent headline: "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election."

The paper says that headline never appeared on that day. It appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition, but the headline was not used on the front page. Instead, it was found in much smaller type above a letter to the editor, which the paper says reflects "only the opinions of the letter writer."

that is such a petty thing to bitch about a headline like that. lameo drama from the right.

That's all you have to say? I don't see any evidence here about Bush lying about going to war. I see some Wizard of Oz talk. By the way, I'm on the Missouri side, thanks...

SmokeyTheBear · 07-30-2004, 08:34 PM

Moore fucked up. He was trying to make a point , but did it in entirely the wrong way.

If you read what he did, he took an EDITORIAL headline and made it into a newspaper headline , thats a bit different than simply swapping a 3rd page headline for a top headline.

it would be something like quoting lensman with something written by someone completely different on GFY.com.

Or it would be even more close if they took a snapshot of www.gofuckyourself.com and replaced a thread topic started by kak_azn as the top logo for the site

It has only been discussed to death, in hearings on CSPAN, on the news..even in the O'Reilly Moore debate the other night....we all know except for your pathetic ass that we went into Iraq with "bad information." But we also all know except for your pathetic ass that it wasn't so much bad information as Bush looking for any and all excuses to go into Iraq.

eroswebmaster · 07-30-2004, 08:36 PM

And I will make this prediction...if Bush does get reelected God forbid...he will be impeached before the term is up.

Still, I'm waiting for proof here. You seem so enraged about this and yet no hard core evidence other than what you heard some Crossfire panelist say.. Talk about having the blinders on

This is a trick question, by the way. As I stated, if there WAS evidence, he would have been/in the process of being impeached. Since there is no evidence, lay off.

Since it was bad information, how come other countries came to the same conclusion BEFORE the war, and still stand by it today? Bush must have swayed them as well, no? France, Russia, Britain and US to this day still claim the same as Clinton's appointed George Tenet... "WMDs are a slam dunk."

swoop · 07-30-2004, 08:44 PM

Also, the 9/11 Commission report also debunked some parts of the 9/11 movie as well.

If someone was going to make a movie on one of the most important days we have lived through, why did it have to be this AssClown?

I would of had someone middle of the road and backed up starting back 8-9 years ago and build up on the Cole Bombing, the first WTC bombings and thos mishaps to give the American public a better sense of the errors we made instead of someone that just had an agenda with one person.

Perhaps a movie that followed the 9/11 Commission report.

I dont really care. I think that some people are out to make moore look bad after farenheit 9/11 and they use anything they can find, its no different to me than the thing about how he was a registered democrat, who the fuck cares. Maybe he used a fake headline but he was making a point and i didnt think that the newspaper made the movie look any more honest than it otherwise would have. The only thing that the paper makes me think is that if he forged that then maybe he forged other things as well but either way if he did it will eventually come out

George W. Bush is a 100% alcoholic who would be happy to help you get a beer! He might drink it before you get your hands on it but, you knew he was an alcoholic before you asked.

Go GW . . . nobody thinks that you regularly wipe out on your bike and choke on pretzels because you are abstaining from alcohol.

I agree wholeheartedly that one of the reasons we are in this mess is because of Clinton and his response to terrorism during his administration....however it does not negate the fact that we have issues to deal with the current one.

Exactly. Earlier I stated that a movie about 9/11 would have been better served after the 9/11 Commission Reports with 100% facts to give the American public the information we need, not someone with an Agenda.

Do you ever wonder why there was never a successful terrorist strike on the United States while Clinton was President?

You know that Osama decided to make the U. S. his favorite target after George Bush Sr. kept our men in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War.

Do you ever wonder why there was a massively successful terrorist attack on the U.S. while Bush was President?????

It isn't too hard to figure out.

I'm a moderate republican and I dont like bush either. But many people paint Moore as the end all be all source of Bush and republican bashing aurguments. And he is fucking lair.
Howard Stern among others use his movie to move public opinion. So if some of us do focus on him, it is because he has an impact on our lives.

Definately not a typo. It's about getting the Judge in the case to be more willing to rule in your favor.

If he knows from the get go that he's not going to have to agonize over punitive damages - and all he's left to say is guilty or not guilty - his job is made easier and pyschologically may be more willing to go with the plaintiff.

and they get their headline - that Moore is guilty / wrong

Like I said, there is no proof. Republicans in certain circles are pissed off at Bush, even when there is no proof.

You show people proof that Bush lied and sent their kids off to war, there would be a little outrage -- enough to make these Republicans in the house vote for what their constituants want.

Besides, the subject hasn't even come up -- and democrats would attempt it just to make Bush look bad -- hasn't happened. Again, where's my proof...
