Moore is brilliant: F911 has a built-in innoculation against censorship...
based on its name. The louder the Right screams to silence the movie, the easier it is for Moore to claim censorship, which is quite ironic given the title.

This will only result in more media coverage and hype.

Truly a "Passion" for the Left.

2. The Right Wingers better watch their mouths. They have been....
pushing the envelope and they are about to go over the deep end with their Hitleresque Censorship tactics.

3. I wish we could have based it on another censorship related work
You know the Right's gonna bring that crazy nutbar fascist Bradbury out to codemn F9/11 for appropriating his title. Kinda hard to believe that the guy who wrote the book was such jingoist, but I guess that does explain why the ending was so incredibly weak. The town has just been vaporized, but everythings great because we've memorized the only important text, the Christian Bible.

5. Bradbury has been grossing about piggy backing on his books name
He claims Moore never asked him to use the name.

6. It's bigger than that
Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 01:41 PM by leftistagitator
In the edition of F451 I read, his afterward included the message that political correctness was the greatest threat to free speech left in the world. His proof? Someone apparently asked him to include a black person in one of his books at some point. There was also this interesting interview, in which he blames the homeless problem on liberal experimenting and says that all poor people have TVs and telephones, which proves that there aren't any totalitarian strains in the US. He also extolled the virtues of Reaganism.
