In response to Frank Harrison's last posting, I would like to say that it is ultimately the public's decision who they want to believe.
Why are liberals so afraid of movies like MMHA? If Michael Moore wants to make movies laced with conspiracy theories and other unproven allegations, then people have the right to listen to the other side, am I right?
I've seen Fahrenheit 9/11 and I absolutely despised it. I think it is shameful of Moore to be working with foreign distributors to show his film in other countries. I don't mind that he is making millions of dollars, thats the American way, but if he is truly interested in making America better, he should show the movie only in the United States. There is no reason to show the movie outside the U.S. except for the fact that Moore and his cohorts want to make more money. Moore even takes great pride in listing all of the countries that are playing his movie right on his own website!
With that said, I still think the public (the U.S. public only) should see Moore's movie. I also think that those same people should also see MMHA. The people can then decide for themselves what to believe. If liberals truly want people to be free and open-minded, then they have to be willing to say that both Moore's film and Wilson's film are valuable to opening the public's eyes.
By the way, it sounds like Harrison has not even seen MMHA, yet he claims that it is 'shrill'. Was Moore's movie not shrill? When I came out of Moore's movie, the first thing that popped into my mind was that "at least we know freedom of speech isn't dead." Moore was allowed to say anything that he wanted, whether it was true or not, about Bush and his administration. To the liberals, the ends justifies the means, which is to remove Bush from office. Yet these same liberals do not want a movie like MMHA to be seen because it may expose the fraud that Michael Moore is.
I like how the liberals deal with dissent.
