Mike Moore is going to be in trouble unless we help him

[sablescort]

I am putting out a call-to-arms cuz a freeper on a board claimed that Moore used footage of a Marine's burial at Arlington without the family's permission.

I think it may be through the Moonie Times, but somehow did MM's legal researchers secure the tape and permission to include it on F-9/11?

1. Will he be sent to his room without supper?

His film is going to clear over $100,000,000 in profits.

I think he'll be just fine without us raising this issue and HELPING the RNC cause by doing so.

Just ignore the freepers and all will be fine.

5. Or perhaps he'll be SPANKED! Oh Dear, oh DEAR oh DEAR!!!!

Poor, POOR michael!

Surely the majority of his budget for the film wasn't spent on legal clearance! No WAY! Say it isn't SO!

WHAT??? The freepers are lying crappers???????

OH NO!!!!!!

[Beetwasher]

2. Bullshit

That it film is more vetted than anything ever made, bank on it. Don't peddle that crap here it won't fly.

[snoochie]

3. Maybe you should check with him/ someone from his site

There is a list of contact e-mail addresses on this page.

4. rest assurred, EVERYTHING in F9/11 has been seriously...

...and thoroughly vetted and will survive legal challenge. Remember Michael Moore knows he is dealing with the bush family evil empire.

So do you know what the pigfuckers do if they don't have a legal leg to stand on? They get their minions to circulate unsavory, unprovable, untrue rumours. Remember the ol' meme rule: Say it enough, and you can get people to believe anything.

6. no offense

but let your fellow freeper board cohorts find out if this is the case or not.

why are you surfing there anyway?


as a rule, we don't generally like to post freeper comments/claims/talking points on du, unless it's to laugh at their stupidity. -- and certainly not to do their work for them.

[a_random_joel]

14. Easy.

Take it easy on the guy... how do you know he's a Freeper?

I lurk at FR myself:

1. Know your enemy
2. Know their stupid talking points
3. Laugh at them

Sometimes I post their crap here just because it is so ridiculous.

[newsguyatl]

17. i didn't say he was a freeper, why do you say that?

[a_random_joel]

23. Sorry, I misread you

You said freeper cohorts...

[sablescort]

7. Wasnt Major Gregory Stone's funeral on F-9/11?

and it was supposed to be cleared by legal?

8. From Mike's page

In the next week or so, I will recount my adventures through the media this past month (I will also be posting a full FAQ on my website soon so that you can have all the necessary backup and evidence from the film when you find yourself in heated debate with your conservative brother-in-law!). For now, please know the following: Every single fact I state in "Fahrenheit 9/11" is the absolute and irrefutable truth. This movie is perhaps the most thoroughly researched and vetted documentary of our time. No fewer than a dozen people, including three teams of lawyers and the venerable one-time fact-checkers from The New Yorker went through this movie with a fine-tooth comb so that we can make this guarantee to you. Do not let anyone say this or that isn't true. If they say that, they are lying. Let them know that the OPINIONS in the film are mine, and anyone certainly has a right to disagree with them. And the questions I pose in the movie, based on these irrefutable facts, are also mine. And I have a right to ask them. And I will continue to ask them until they are answered.

9. Thanks for donating

Hope it was worth it.

On edit: Call to arms? Are we supposed to shoot somebody? :)

10. MM is prepared for their attacks

He even has a "war room" set up. They can't get you if they can't fool you and Moore is no fool. He's perfectly okay. Joe Wilson might need some help though.

[TrustingDog]

11. sounds like pigbullshit to me...

Mike knows what he's doing.

[Bullshot]

12. As it has been stated on this website many times before...

tell the freeper to prove it. These guys will say anything hoping it will stick with enough people or intimidate a bunch of people.

As much as Moore attributes his statements to his sources in his books and movies, I find it hard to believe he didn't cover that aspect of the movie.

[wurzel]

13. If the tape was already in the public domain why would he need it?

For instance if this was a newsreel tape. Did he use the Marine's name? Sounds like junk to me.

[Berserker]

21. But......... But

we are not supposed to see things like that! Thats reality and it's not good for us to think. Keep us in the dark and feed us bullshit thats the American way now!

[Trajan]

15. LMFAO ....

I was going to say something witty ... but fuck that ...

This is lame ....

WAKE UP ! ...

[Tweed]

16. Michael Moore has almost unlimited funds & a lawyer who represents Mandela

I think he is going to be just fine.

[DrWeird]

18. I saw this on the local news.

Some woman was claiming that a few seconds of footage was from her sons funeral. She "recognized" the flag draped coffin as her son's, even though she didn't have the footage to prove it was her son's. And she was upset because she "knew" her son wouldn't have like the movie, because he loved president Bush.

Frankly, I think her son would rather not have died for some fake ass bullshit, but that's just my opinion.

[Lisa]

20. odd that she'd focus on the coffin ...

... since that clip showed at least one of the mourners -- more recognizable, surely!

[sablescort]

22. that was the one.

the reason why I thought it was pretty bullshit cause of the legal fine-tooth comb that MM used to vet the film.....

[Brian Morans]

19. How do you think we can help him?

[Renew Deal]

24. Bullshit

Any proof?
