Yikes! Unbelievably SHOCKING conversation overheard in F911 ticket line!

[RoadRunner]

Mind boggling, truly amazing.

Here’s what happened, I’m in line to buy advance tickets for the 10 pm showing. There were two very well dressed elderly women in front of me. I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping, but I couldn’t help overhear their conversation.

They did not know each other. One was from here, the other from a town about 80 miles away. Both said they were there to buy tickets for F911 for their church group. The both described their church as very large, very active, and very conservative. They had my full attention.

Here’s some gems from their conversation:

“My daughter’s name is Kerry. I took her to buy some tires last week and the salesman asked how you spell her name. I told him ‘Same as the next President of the United States!”

“Our pastor gave a turning-point sermon last month. He said that his heart is telling him that the direction the county is moving in is not according to God’s plan. Jesus would never approve of torture, lying, killing innocent people, and hurting the poor.”

“The spiritual leader in our church is the Deacon’s wife. She has always been a very strict fundamentalist. Lately she’s changed totally, now she has fire in her eyes talking about how Jesus taught love, compassion, and forgiveness while Bush does the opposite.”

“I don’t know anyone in my church that’s voting for Bush.”

“This Is the first time in my life I’ve given a campaign contribution to a Democrat.”

“I don’t listen to talk radio anymore; it’s too full of propaganda now.”

When the woman in front of me got to the ticket booth, she leaned into the window and told the clerk, “Thank you SO much for showing this movie.”

I know, I know, this is a small sample, and an unrepresentative one at that. Still, I'm telling ya', Bush is toast! You can stick a fork in ‘em, THEY’RE DONE!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Amen, brother!

When little old church ladies talk that way, when working men in Arkansas talk that way, you know Bush is toast.

[against all enemies]

2. You weren't dreaming were you?

I don't get it, with this kind of cross over voting how in hell is bush even in the polls.

[AntiCoup2K4]

10. Because the polls are bullshit controlled by the mediawhores.

That's okay. Let the Bush Criminal and the Freeps think they have everything all under control. They'll only stage a terrorist attack when they know they can't win.

Actually, the question should be "is there a legal precedent for transferring power from one administration to another sooner than January 20 of the following year. Since the possibility of a pre-election terra-plot has already been exploited in the media, it would be much more to their advantage, strategically speaking, to let the election proceed, allow Kerry to "win", and then really fuck things up on New Years eve, causing a worldwide emergency and the establishment of martial law, which will of course, suspend the transfer of power.

[1monster]

22. The current presidential term is up on January 20 regardless. I guess

if things are really that screwed up, then the Speaker of the HOuse would become acting President. Is the new Congress seated before or after January 20? Therein lies an important question.

[playahata1]

49. I think it's BEFORE 1/20.

n/t

[stevedeshazer]

55. January 1 n/t

[Lerkfish]

37. Because the poll samples are manipulated?

because the samples used in the polls don't reflect reality?
Just a guess.

[Gman]

3. There are a lot of Republicans that feel this way

but often are afraid to say it publicly as this lady did.

They'll be known as "Kerry Republicans" similar to the old "Reagan Democrats".

[atre]

28. Not so much Kerry Republicans; more Anti-Bush Republicans

I know several Republicans who are fed up with Bush, but are not exactly thrilled about voting for Kerry.

[LittleApple81]

4. That is why I am giving money to Bev Harris's group. VOTING MACHINES

are our biggest enemy right now.

[morningglory]

5. Woo Hoooooo! The fundies are learning to think! Praise the Lord! nt

[WillyT]

6. Great Report, Thanks !!!

:yourock:

[enough]

7. Where are you, RoadRunner?

[RoadRunner]

8. New Mexico

near the Texas border. Mostly conservative community.

[duhneece]

16. The old Fountain theatre or one in El Paso? nt

[RoadRunner]

18. Fountain

Hi duhneece, long time no see! :hi:

Plus, it's gunna' be at the Allen starting Friday.

[sundog]

30. wow, I live up in Sierra County

If there even was a movie theater here F911 is the lLAST thing they'd show -- hardcore freeper country -- all republican controlled. Thankfully I know enough liberals here to keep me sane.

I fell really good that you actually heard the conversation in THIS area :bounce:

[RoadRunner]

42. Come on down, dawg!

That desert up there does strange things to people!

:hi:

[sundog]

58. hi back :)

I'm in Elephant Butte... I have a business here, and I'm in trenches of tourist season -- so I just work 7 days a week...

this place can occasionally get frustrating... a republican stronghold... 90% freepers -- :grr:

I keep it balanced by coming here as much as possible :hi:

[newyawker99]

56. Hi RR!

:hi:

[Melodybe]

13. Your post made me tear up, WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!!

I can feel it in every breath. Thank you for posting this.

[DebJ]

9. I love good news!

[axollot]

11. Don't you love it

When you hear of conservatives changing their tune? I am going to a moveon.org get out and vote type thing. Calling peeps to help register them to vote. Its a womans thing and the mayor of Gainesville FL will be there, supposedly the "media" blah blah.

I am taking with me two good friends one is a sheep conservative (but i love her dearly LOL) the other is a hard core blinded by anything put in front of him conservative to the extreme, my debates with this man always have me banging my head up against the wall. Hes paying for the gas, we have a computer to fix on the way to this 1-2 hour drive to Gainesville.(yup i said him he is going to be slaughtered by these women i hope)

I am hoping that the sheep will convert secretly when she votes after Sunday, and maybe the hardliner will learn a thing or two.

FYI: I am friends with the hardliner because of our occupations in the computer industry. Poor fellow though has to call me all hours of the day and night for help. At least he pays me for the information I give him. And I could be cooking dinner while I get paid!

[Raster]

12. this validates what I've been feeling for some time...

I'm good friends with repubs and christians, and for the life of me I could not understand how both would let their firmest of principles be compromised by the neocon scourge. I felt that if they opened their hearts and their eyes they would see that their party and their religion had been hijacked by elements that respected or believed in neither. Anecdotal info like this is good...

[Kazak]

14. Land...

...slide.

;)

[calimary]

25. Say it again. LANDSLIDE. Then follow it with MANDATE.

And shove that in EVERY media and republi-CON nose in your area. It is time to take our country back.

[President Jesus]

29. YES! This is why it is essential NOT to vote for Nader this time around

This country needs to send a message to the right wing that their bullshit it is no longer welcome. A 5 point victory does not accomplish that...it only energizes them for 2008.

But a 25 point landslide would send those jackals back into their caves for a good long while, AND it would empower President Kerry to reverse much of the damage that has been done in the past three years.

Even if yo live in a slam-dunk Kerry state, your vote is still important as it relates to the mandate factor. Do not underestimate the importance of that for future governing.

I suggest that a vote for Nader is viewed in the end as more of an anti-Kerry vote than it is anti-Bush.

[Old and In the Way]

52. You speak the truth!

The bigger the win, the more the mandate to change and drive a Democratic agenda. The graph posted above should make it mighty clear as to how things change (for the better) when Democrats are in charge.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

15. Amazing! I was surprised to see this morning that

our most mainstream theater at the mall has the movie now. I thought it was only going to be at at the small independent theater in town. I am going to see Dodgeball at the mall theater tomorrow, so I will ask them if many people are going to see it.

[Iris]

17. I wonder if they will see a hint of their former selves

in that scene where the dead soldier's mother is in front of the White House and that horrible, obviously Republican, woman accuses her of lying about the fact that her son was killed in Iraq.

What if the documentary is able to kill the talk radio star?

[Cha]

19. I can see why you are so Stoked! This is

incredibly awesome on a lot of fronts. You just don't get this impression from the few reichwing c-span callers..and this is like a Sea Change that must be happening in more places than where you reported.

For that Pastor to see this with all the media propogada is Just Astounding..thank you so much for your report.

That's one of the main things that annoys me to end ...is the lock the bushco has on so called Christians, because it is all so FAKE.

[amandabeech]

20. My 83-year-old Mom sees changes in her town, too.

She lives in a tiny town in rural Michigan, and regularly has been attending the local Methodist church since she moved to the town as a bride in 1954. She says that many of her friends are very, very disillusioned with Bush. They think that he lied to them on Iraq, they are very upset about the deficits, and they see their children and grandchildren struggling economically with low wages and increasing housing and healthcare costs. And they are realizing that the Bush Medicare drug plan is virtually useless and that getting drugs from Canada is now illegal.

These folks may never have voted for a Democrat for President, but now, they say that they just can't vote for Bush. Many may not vote for President in November. Others are trying to persuade themselves that Kerry will be OK. I'm looking forward to Mom's evaluation of the effect of Edwards on their thinking.

[DaveSZ]

21. Wow

You made my day.

:)

[Shopaholic]

23. This is why * is pushing the "family values" crap

and pushing for the gay marriage amendment--even though he knows there's no way in hell it would ever pass. He's trying to bring fundamental Christians and the "religious" right back over to his side because he knows he's losing them.

[bigbillhaywood]

24. Shit, if Bush's bullshit turned around more fundies like this, I'd be

screaming "four more years"!

[faithnotgreed]

26. wow. that is a strangely intriguing post!

[Kanary]

38. ~~guffaw~~ I had the same thought......

:evilgrin:

[faithnotgreed]

27. that is incredible & much needed to hear! wish i could thank those women!

[Robbien]

31. BoxOfficeMojo said $72 million of tickets have been sold

If many of these people are people who do not usually vote there will surely be a difference this time around. After seeing the film there is no way one could not cast a ballot.

[marzipanni]

32. I haven't been to see F911 yet, but on television

I viewed the scene in it of the white-tie fundraising dinner where Bush* is saying to his assembled supporters, "I like to think of you as the haves and the have-mores", and "Some people call you the elite, I think of you as my base."

Evidently our born again pResident doesn't know that Jesus said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"... Or maybe he wants to ensure he and his base go to Hell so they won't have to be confronted, upon their arrival in Heaven, with the horrifying sight of all of those Islamist martyrs cavorting with their allotments of 72 virgins each...

[Mandate My Ass]

33. WoooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooo!!!!!

I have nothing else to add. As you were.

[DaveSZ]

34. Some Fundies will need more convincing:

35. I went to see it yesterday with my 72 yr old dad.

We went to a matinee at a theater located in the heart of freeper territory - the folks who supported the KKK David Duke. Though my dad was NEVER a conservative, I thought it would be fun to see it with him, since he's a sociologist, and ask him what he thought. I'll distill his opinion into a simple phrase: "Bush is toast."

[Mandate My Ass]

36. My dad wants to go see it

He's 74. I think the last movie he saw in the theaters was "Jaws."

I like your dad's assessment of current events. :-)

[Swamp Rat]

40. Great! Take him to see it. You'll enjoy yourselves.

We went to a nice Indian restaurant afterwords were we had a spirited discussion covering the gamut of sociological theories to pop-psychology. We have so much to learn from prior generations. Remember those elderly ladies in the movie?

[Zen]

57. I like your dad's succinct yet sophisticated analysis of Bush!

39. THANKS for sharing! n/t

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

41. Yikes too

I went to see F 9/11 on Monday afternoon thinking here in republican Sarasota I could walk right in for the first showing. When I got there about a half hour before the box office opened a line had already formed mainly elderly folks, mostly women. It was quite inspiring. After the film the 80 something woman next to me said "Everyone in America should see this film, why isn't it on TV?" The audience actually cheered and clapped when it was over. There is hope.

[mourningdove92]

43. Bushco has "misunderestimated" the intelligence

and integrity of our Seniors. They see what is happening very clearly.

[m-jean03]

44. Thanks for posting

That brought tears to my eyes for some reason. :-)

[brook]

45. Isn't it wonderful?

I'm in *country, too. Earlier today I saw a bumper sticker "Mission (crossed out) Nothing Accomplished". The car happened to turn in and park next to me at the store so I said "I like your bumper sticker." The lady smiled & said "Thanks. I'm not a bumper sticker person." She paused and added "Did you see Farenheit911?" She said she saw it the day it came out & it changed her life!

The tide, she is a-turning.

[Sugarbleus]

46. Did this really happen? WOW!!

I had a rather spiritual moment today. I am a believer in God. I dropped out of church many years ago. I was tired of the old conservative drivel...nothing seemed to address the realities of today's world/society. I refuse to be associated with any group that supports the kind of politics we see in the Bush administration.

Since Bush got into the WH, I did a lot of reading. I learned a lot about the religion I grew up in and was not happy with what I found out. I watched as Bush used religion to further his agenda (hitleresque?). I watched as the churches got behind him with vigor and blindness. I started to lose hope that there would ever be a place I could relate to in terms of worship or faith ever again.

All this time, while in DU, other liberal sites, and while contesting with conservative religious orgs. I kept hoping somehow the people of faith would finally open their eyes....

Your post has given me, this day, that hope that change is possible within the faith community. Many hardliners will not change but if some do, then there's a good chance I'll be able to re join a community of believers again with good conscience.

http://www.interviewwithgod.com/lovemovie /

I found this link today. It relates everything that Bush IS NOT in terms of calling himself a Christian........ enjoy

[RoadRunner]

48. That's a great site, thanks!

I hadn't seen it before.

[Sugarbleus]

53. The one outstanding thing about the particular

message/link I posted was the message of LOVE. I connect that with the memory I have of Bush while in Texas as govenor. There was a woman in prison who had OBVIOUSLY had a dramatic change in her life....a blind person could see it. She requested a stay of execution...rather her sentence be changed to life.

What did Bush do? He joked about her. He made little whimpering mocking remarks about her pleas. HE's suppose to be a Christian???????? And he cruelly mocks this woman then pulls the switch? What a sociopath!! He has bloodlust in his veins. He has to go. I wish we could put him in prison.

Say Goodbye George, then let there be peace on Earth....

[RoadRunner]

54. You're right, Sugarbleus.

And the only time, and I do mean the only time that man gets a twinkle in his eye is when he's talking about killing someone - executions, dropping bombs, or war. I guess this is what you can expect from a man who used to blow up frogs with firecrackers as a child.

A lot of people, including Christians, are starting to see him for what he is. Like you, I've also studied religion for years and I know that the human heart always recognizes truth when it sees it, no matter what form it's in. The RW spin and lies aren't going to work this time around.

[mermaid]

47. OMG!!

Someone needs to nominate this topic for front=page Headline here at DU!!!

[Sugarbleus]

51. How do we do it?.........one person or many?

[goclark]

50. Sears delivery guy came yesterday

He looked like Joe Average guy. The TV was on and Bush was ranting on and on.
The delivery guy went nuts. He said that Bush was an idiot and he couldn't wait until he is out of office.

I would have pegged him for a republican.

Have you noticed that the most unlikely people HATE Bush?
They hate him so much they act like they are flaming liberals.

Bushco,Please be toast

[Character Assassin]

59. Um.... OK. That wasn't shocking in the least.

You could hear exactly the opposite of those things just as easily, in most places around the country, at most times.

The mind simply does not boggle.

[Narraback]

60. PM Kick

[Octafish]

61. Thanks, RoadRunner!

Great news!

BTW: Isn't New Mexico a state? Just kidding. Love the painted desert. Over the border. Love the Bottomless Lakes State Park, White Sands, and Tucumcari, too. People there are GREAT!
