Michael Moore brings political frenzy to rally, Ft Lauderdale, 10-28-04

[seafan]

Amid whoops and cheers, controversial film director Michael Moore shouldered his way through a chanting crowd in downtown Fort Lauderdale Thursday night, to deliver this message: ``Vote now; vote so your vote will count.''

Moore's visit brought out the most passionate supporters of both main presidential candidates, along with their signs and their children and their pets, including two tiny dogs sporting knitted John Kerry sweaters, and a sign-carrying monkey whose message suggested a ban on ''Neanderthals'' in office.

''I came to support Kerry and to see Michael Moore,'' said Kai Thorup, of Fort Lauderdale. ``I'm a Republican, but Bush has got to go. I've had enough.''

And he assured Republicans they would benefit equally from a Kerry administration.

''When the Democrats receive health-care benefits, we'll let the Republicans receive it too,'' Moore said. ``When the children of Democrats come home from Iraq, we'll let the children of Republicans come home too, and after Jan. 20 when Kerry is in office, even though we see that their behavior is a little strange and weird, we'll allow Republicans to continue marrying each other.''

1. Yes

his impact on this election can't even be measured.

Quick story:
One of my husband's customers was a huge Bush-loving diehard Repug. He had tons of pictures of Bush plastered on every wall of his office.
2 weeks ago my husband's co-worker (Roger) paid this guy a business visit. The minute Roger walked in, this guy asked him "Have you seen this?" and whipped out a DVD copy of F911. After Roger said no, the guy hands it to Roger and said "You must watch this, it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!" He said he bought 20 copies and was handing them out to everyone he could. Oh, and the Bush pictures are gone from his office walls.

I don't think this is an isolated incident either.
