Moore Heat
Saw Fahrenheit 9/11 this evening. I have to say that it was a powerful film. Somethings I know are based on the liberal take: facts that can be used to support a particular point of view. For example, the seven minutes that Bush looked completely out of his depth when he realized the nation was under attack. Bush supporters will say he was projecting calm. Moore, of course, uses that moment to ridicule Bush. Anyone who has been in leadership position knows better: The man choked when it was crunch time. Doesn't make him a bad man or evil demon, but it does belie a certain incompetence. There are plenty of moments like that in the film. There are a few which indisputably completely castigate Bush by showing highlighting his elitist arrogance. Those who've seen the film will never forget the "Watch this drive" and "I call you my base" moments. Liberal or conservative, see the film before you make comments about it!
Michael Eric Dyson had some interesting words on this topic.
