36. I agree, sort of, but you KNOW that they're going to seize on anything
they can that's disputable, and hammer and hammer and hammer til they can do to the film what they did to Clarke.....recall that a large majority was made to think he was just out flacking his book, as opposed to responding as a patriotic American. this took a couple of weeks of the most heinous propaganda, but it worked

just as the the nearly 100 million dollar smear campaign against Kerry was so successful in driving his negatives from 27% to the mid forties, after they started in on him. I just heard some smeally pug shill say this a day or two ago (just the part about the negatives)

the reason they're going all out against Moore is TO KEEP people from seeing the movie at all. you're right about the idea that, if they see it, they're going to buy it, unless they're already bushdrones, in which case I can't imagine them going in the first place

so their campaign is twofold: first, the above bit about discouraging viewers

second, and more important, I think, is getting theathers themselves not to show it

that reminds me, in story I read today, some clearly rightwing theater chain owner, Carmike, or something, says HE's not going to show it. he's very influential, as he's got hundreds of theaters, ALL in cities with less than a 100K population.

sounded like quite the jagoff

might be ripe for an informational campaign
