Wikipedia on Fahrenheit 9/11 and My thoughts on the DVD

Below is what appears to be a comprehensively annotated encyclopedia entry on Fahrenheit 9/11 and the various rebuttal articles.

If Bush thinks that the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 has been giving him trouble, he ain't seen nothing til the DVD hits in September. For one thing, many parts of the country don't have a movie theater showing F 9/11. Secondly, many folks are out of the habit of going to movies. Thirdly, it's easier to carry a dvd to a friend's house than it is to get the (undecided) friend to go see a movie.

Finally, if Bowling For Columbine is any guide, Michael Moore is likely tu update the DVD right before pressing. I'm sure there's a bunch of new stuff and stuff that was left out of the theatrical film that Moore will put on the DVD. Just when the Bushies have marshaled their counter-documentary-essays in response, the F9/11 DVD is bound to hit them with part II of their sins, dubious accomplishments and lack of accomplishments. From September to November F9/11 DVDs will be available in every store in the country, sometimes right by the checkout.

In every college, there will be Fahrenheit 9/11 viewing parties in every floor of every dorm.

It's a shame GWB, but you brought it upon yourself. You've had 3 1/2 years to show that you deserve the office to which you were appointed. In that time, you've done nothing but mess up the finances of the country, and start an optional war that has killed thousands of people. You have ignored the important problems that threaten our national well-being and security, such as globalism, environmental degradation (including global warming), nuclear proliferation, and (domestic and international) social inequities and injustices, injustices that provide the seeds for crime terrorism and revolution.

In the name of liberty, you have done more than any president before you to stifle liberty. You have shown a contempt for due process. You have passed laws to stifle freedom of speech. You ahve reversed a decades long trend toward open government. Sensible levels of gun control have been offlimits, yet you can't bring a f'ing fingernail clipper on an airplane or into a courthouse.

You want the government to stay out of people's lives, but you want to tell them who they can marry.

Oh well, I'm out of time.
