Fahrenheit 9/11 impact?

[Nation]

I'm going to see Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight (for entertainment purposes, my conservative friends). You must remember, I don't HATE anyone in politics, but I am a Kerry supporter.

I know how Moore twists the facts, so I'm planning on doing a  mini-review for my Atlas comrades, and some fact-checking.

Movie starts in an hour. See ya

I saw the movie, was not impressed. "Bowling for Columbine" was a much more clever and thought-provoking endeavor then Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" claptrap turned out to be (for me, at least)

The first half of the movie was nothing more than speculation about why Bush's family is so connected with the Saudis, and questioned Bush's appointments to specific positions, some involving the Saudis in some way. Well duh, when you're president of course you're going to appoint close friends to powerful positions. Any president would take advantage of this.

The movie brought in what looked to be one "expert" who said that flying the Bin Laden family out of the country after 9/11 was a big mistake (it certainly wasn't something that Republicans and Democrats will unite over, saying that it was a glorious move by Bush) but it's nothing to get impeached over.

As I said, the first half of the movie was speculation, and nothing more. Moore also did something he loved to do, taking quotes out of context, in writing and with videotape.

The second half of the movie was psychologically brilliant -- emotionally charged drivel I'd call it, because that's what it did, it played to your emotions. No matter who you're voting for, you WILL sympathize towards the emotional moments in the movie with the mother who lost her son in Iraq. The one legitimate question the movie asks is "is the conflict in iraq worth losing hundreds and hundreds of soldiers over?" A question that EVERYONE already has an answer to.

I highly doubt this movie will make any sort of impact -- if it somehow manages to actually change the minds of "swing" voters, the number will be statistically insignificant.

It will fade out in several weeks just like Richard Clarke's book did.
