GQ_jumper 4 #1 November 25, 2004 Has anyone here seen this film yet? Was it just an incredible amount of hype going the extreme opposite of Moore? Or did someone actually try and use facts to debunk Moore's conspiracy theories?History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

nanook 1 #2 November 27, 2004 I don't think most people will watch it. In fact, it being out shows me the author lacks confidence in the general population's ability to see through this documentary. I think i feel a twinge of insult. Moore's use of opinionated inferrences, red herrings, and off-beat syllogisms are the exact same tool advertisers use to market stuff. The facts don't even have to be refuted._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morcyk 0 #3 November 27, 2004 It was long, drawn out, and very one-sided. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phlip 0 #7 November 29, 2004 I've seen both and they are both propaganda. I can't believe how much propaganda there is in this country... I guess it must be the same everywhere... At least it wasn't meant to be "fair and balanced" Phlip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 8 #8 November 30, 2004 I've seen them both, and I'm glad that they came out with a Farhrenhype video. Yeah, it was just as bias as Fahrenheite. Maybe it will Keep Moore in Check. Who knows?=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows? i havn't seen farenhype but i know at least the basis of what michael moore says is true, there is evedence of it all the time . farenhieght 911 isn't the only work he has done and his mission seems clear! the people he targets are the kings of propoganda so i guess he fights fire with fire, the issues he 'exposes' are very heavy and he accuses some very powerful poeople of some very 'bad deeds' farenhype 911 will be a come back! weather you are liberal or democrat or whatever you guys do over there in that crazy country of yours, you have to admit he is a clever man? gotta see farenhype though"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nate_1979 9 #10 August 5, 2005 Old thread, but I Just saw this... actually , finishing it up now...

Liked it, it's not trying to prove anything, just shows the other side of the story behind the first 911 movie. FGF #??? I miss the sky...
