Shooting Michael Moore (update)

[TWiley]

"Shooting Michael Moore" has been shown in Miami and in the Detroit area. Leffler, an accountant and college professor, acknowledged Moore was well-liked in Traverse City.

"I know I am going right in Mike's backyard, and I know that many view him as very favorable," he said, before the screenings were canceled.

Leffler defended the film's title, saying it is a reference to "shooting with a camera" and the movie contains "no violence."

"I wish Mike no harm, and the movie itself has literally zero implications," he said.

One part of the film follows Leffler as he travels to Moore's Antrim County house. Leffler traces the route for viewers and arrives holding a sign that states "From Flint? You're Family!! Stay Free!!"

Gibbs has not seen the film but objected to the inclusion of directions to Moore's house. Leffler said a laywer reviewed the movie and a specific address is not shown, though street signs are visible.

"I'd like to see the title of the movie changed, and the call to ... basically hurt Michael to be recanted," Gibbs said, prior to the cancellation. "Anybody can make whatever movie they want...; it's not OK to promote violence to anyone."

Why does politics feel more and more like junior high these days?

8. Most people "joke" about things they are deadly serious about

Calling something a joke is the standard defense against a charge of sexual discrimination. I think his intentions are pretty clear; especially giving directions to someone's house.

I wasn't serious.

9. I am too

He has done more good for our town than any other single individual. I would say the current boom downtown is directly related to his efforts. There is ALWAYS a ton of people downtown anymore. Furthermore, I believe that big hole east of the state would still have no plans if not for his input.

The average republican is bat-shit crazy anymore. They listen and nod to limbaugh and attack a voice of reason. Insanity.
