These right-wing conmen are busy pushing a story about "soldier Joe Roche" reporting the pained reaction of soldiers to Michael Moore's movie. (Like the Black conservatives, soldier Joe appears to be bought and paid for, and by the same folks even! His story is being pushed by the "National Center for Public Policy Research," precisely one of the groups that has Black conservatives on its payroll, and the group that was "formed in the 1980s to support Reagan's military interventions in Central America.") The story has gained prominence since Andrew "I'm a despicable neanderthal, except when my own interests are at stake" Sullivan gave it prominent billing.
But if you cut through the right-wing overlay, and "soldier Joe's" laughable commentary ("Moore has abused the First Amendment and is hurting us worse than the enemy has"), it's clear that the soliders who have seen the movie got exactly the right message, the kind of message that real people connected to the military, like Military Families Speak Out, have been promoting for more than a year. I would imagine it is gratifying to Moore to learn that,
*"Specialist Janecek...is devastated. 'I feel shitty, ashamed, like this was all a lie.' It was all a lie, but you should not be ashamed, you should be angry. Talk to Specialist Everett:
*"Specialist Everett [said] after seeing the film: 'You'll be mad as shit for ever having come here.'" You should be. Make sure to vote.
*"Mostly the comments are absolute shock at the close connections Moore makes between the Bush family and the Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia. 'Bush looks really really REALLY corrupt in this film. I just don't know what to think anymore,' is a common comment to hear." Excellent: Bush is really, really, really corrupt, and for reasons Moore didn't even touch on!
Obviously, the country could benefit from more "abuses" of the First Amendment like this. Maybe if we had had a few sooner the war-mongering criminals in Washington would have been stopped dead in their tracks?
