Moore Working on Election Fraud Film, Right Wing Tried to Sabotage Chat
Advertisements [?]
From the web chat last night

"Sabrina: Did you get any good election fraud footage that you intend on using for a new documentary? We love you Michael Moore!!!!

Michael Moore: I don't usually talk too much about what I'm doing when I'm doing it. I'll just leave it at that :)"

FYI -- evidently right-wingers logged in to the chat in mass numbers to try and shut it down -- people trying to get in received "full session" notices. Here is his opening comment:

"Michael Moore: I just want to say that I feel really bad that Channel 4 innocently thought "Wouldn't it be nice if we had a filmmaker do a webchat?" but unfortunately the people of Channel 4 don't live in the US and didn't anticipate that certain Americans, when they learned of this webchat, did not see it as a webchat with a filmmaker but as an interview with the devil himself. They discussed throughout the week how and what they could do to stop it. So my apologies to the British audience who logged in this evening to have this webchat (the only one I have agreed to do in the past year) only to be prohibited from having this discussion with me thanks to the lunatic Right Wing in the US."
