At least, you can't prove it by Fahrenheit. The soldiers in Iraq and
in the VA hospital, the New Yorkers on the street, the kids in Flint,
the military mother, even the Congress, are all portrayed with
compassion. None of them are stupid. Or monsters.
If you really refuse to go see it maybe you could take a look at what
William Rasberry has to say about it; I thought that was a propos. The
idea that it is necessary to make a movie to talk about how great
America is just demonstrates that the people who had it probably
haven't seen the movie either.
Reminds me of the fundamentalist Christians on home shooling lists who
insist that Harry Potter is evil because the kid has a wand.

Since only rabid Bush Haters will see the film and you
folks only want to discuss it with people that have
seen it that leaves it a Bush hating discussion.
So, I started a new thread.
Of course there is the mention of 100 republicans
getting free tickets? I wonder how many people
actually paid to see the film.
Will the DNC claim these tickets as advertising or is
it considered soft money spending?
The reason is the Title: Know Your Enemy

They're his opinions and he hates Americans. How much
