Michael Moore vs. My Daughter

Posted by: Laer at 09:34 pm

I’m so proud of my 18-year-old daughter, an acorn that didn’t fall far from the tree if ever there was one!

A couple days ago, she was walking across the Saddleback College campus and found a poster advertising screenings of Fahrenheit 9/11 on campus. She’s not much of a speller, so unlike me, she sees no value in the film; I value it for teaching many Americans how to spell Fahrenheit. She found the screening was sponsored by the college’s Dem club and vowed to show up with handouts documenting the films errors.

So last night she, my wife and I sat through the film; the first time any of us had seen it. We were amazed at how sophomoric the deceit is — no firm connections; just illusions, hints and paranoid conjecture. We were astonished to learn on viewing the film that Moore was afraid to show the actual 9/11 event, knowing it would remind viewers that we truly are fighting for something here. If you (wisely) have not seen the film, be aware that the screen is black during that portion; you hear only the sounds of the vicious attack on America. What a coward.

Today, my daughter ran out 100 copies of a four-page criticism of the film, and went to the campus to hand them out at two screenings.

She just got home and reported that only about 40 people showed up, and after the showing, she was invited to a discussion group, as the sole Republican in a room of Dems and Anarchists. She calmly and forcefully stood her ground, made her points and made a good impression for our cause. Only one ranter attacked her, calling her a Nazi. She responded, “And you are a Communist.” Quite a gal! Could a dad be more proud?

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
