Fw: Corporate media switch tactics, begin all out assault on Michael Moore

[Guest guest]

The corporate media has hurriedly thrown together a new book to be

titled, " Michael Moore is a Fat, Stupid White Man " and is rushing it

into book stores in an attempt to stem the flow of right wing blood

resulting from Fahrenheit 9/11.

 

They have given up on their efforts to ignore Moore or to casually

dismiss him, and now are concentrating on attacking him personally.

This morning at 5:00 AM CNN spent a full half hour on Moore, trying

desperately to discredit him. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM! At this point

we are literally at war with the American power structure and losing

what is most certainly the fight of our lives is not an option, but BE

PREPARED!

 

The high I got from seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 Friday allowed me a brief,

ecstatic one day feeling that there was hope after all. Today I am

down again, remembering how the media destroyed Howard Dean in less

than two weeks after we had spent a year building a grass roots

movement to support him. All it took was two weeks of round the clock

showing of a brief out-of-context clip of Dean shouting. A handful of

stupid rich white men overruled the millions of regular people who were

working their butts off to save our country.

 

Certainly we should be writing letters to the editor (see text below of

my most recent one, sent to the Capital, which is the daily paper in

Annapolis.) Certainly we should be in the streets, as we were last

month when we were a million strong (a million! even by the count of

the corporate media, the largest protest march is American history!).

And certainly we must register people to vote and get them to the

polls.

 

But--and this statement is what brought the FBI to my door last

fall--we must be prepared to take direct action. The corporations are

using the public airways against us, and we may need to take them back

directly. If the million of us in DC had suddenly begun marching in a

slightly different direction, they could not have stopped us. We could

have taken over Fox News, NBC, AOL-Time-Warner-CNN, and the rest. Yes,

they would have quickly responded with armed troops who might have

fired on us, but that is most likely coming anyway, so why not at a

time of our own choosing? Life as we thought we knew it as children is

long gone, stolen by brazen, evil men like Dick Cheney and stupid,

spoiled morons like the twit occupying the White House.

 

Sorry for the rant, but I am really worried this morning.

To the Editor:

 

I can certainly understand any Republican's reluctance to see Michael

Moore's documentary movie " Fahrenheit 9/11. " After all, why give money

to an anti-war Democrat, especially knowing that it will be used to

promote Democratic causes.

 

Yet, how can a Republican effectively argue against the movie without

having seen it? So, let me make an offer that I hope you can't refuse.

I will personally buy your ticket, and give you a free ride to the

movie. I'll even buy you popcorn. Keep in mind that the money I spend

out of my own pocket would have otherwise been donated to the Kerry

campaign.

 

How can you lose? You get to see the movie for free, without a penny

of your money going to Michael Moore. And the money I spend will, in

effect, come out of the Kerry campaign.

 

Organize a group of Republicans. I'll pay for all of you.

 

Fair enough?
