DES MOINES, Iowa - Republicans initially dismissed "Fahrenheit 9/11" as a cinematic screed that would play mostly to inveterate Bush bashers. Four weeks and $94 million later, the film is still pulling in moviegoers 2,000 theaters around the country

"We didn't even stay to see the whole thing," Campbell said. "It was one-sided."
a) of course its one-sided. why would you ever expect a film critisizing bush to be fair and balanced?
b) i wonder how many people did that, which basically kept the movie in the top five for weeks.
c) i don't think they would have been swayed anyway.

everyone on the board who saw it agreed that we could never endorse this film or use it at one of our benifits. a good half of us don't like michael moore. he is like an american nationalist version of gilles duceppe, a shit disturber but annoying.
