"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

Category title - "Asshats." Love it. And there's never been anyone more qualified for the title than Moore.
If I were a student there, I'd be making a lot of noise about where my student fees were going..

UVSC in Utah is doing the same thing. Of course they are balancing it about by getting Sean Hannity to speak nine days before Moore.

Yes, UVSC in Utah is paying Moore to come. And one of their donors just pulled $1.n million in funding because of it. Not a smart move for UVSC.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS. It's not even a real documentary; it's not even REAL. If I was an alumni or had a kid in ANY of those schools, my kid and my money (if I had any) would be yanked so fast their heads would spin.

He has another secret I'd like to know a little about. How can a man get a George Hamilton tan playing a 30 minute touch football game in Cambridge, Mass. while not tanning a bit standing out of doors in Florida handing out drinking water to hurricane victims? Is a manicure the only way to get that body dye out from under your fingernails?

And the money from the Universities in most cases comes from student fees above and beyond tuition. Poor college students working three jobs to pay for school are forced to give extra money for the priveledge of having Moore come and visit.

One of the Michael Moore GMU speeches was just cancelled after a Louden County government official complained about that use of taxpayer money. The campus agreed and cancelled the speech, which was to have cost $35,000.

I hear that these college campuses are cancelling his "visits" as well.
Someone called Sean Hannity to try to get him to come a debate the fat boy but fat boy doesn't want accountability. He just wants to be free to spout his lies & brainwash young people.
There is actually a new movie made called FarenHYPE 911 that disputes all the fat boy lies. Talk about cencorship? They won't allow them in the movie theaters so you have to buy it online. You can go to www.overstock.com to buy the DVD/book... pass it along to your friends BEFORE election day.

As an old man of 42 years I must tell you how reading this blog makes me feel. It makes me feel proud to be an American and gives me great comfort that our country's future is still in good shape. The counter-culture of MTV seems to be exactly that, a counter-culture. Remember when you meet that sandal wearing, John Lennon goggle wearing, tree hugging, two earring wearing, tattoes out the ass, loser with a cool looking chick, that chick is fantisizing about banging a macho republican or a Marine. God bless the USA.

I am a UVSC student who is ticked that our student government paid over $50,000 to have Moore come. That's student money and we want it back. I made some funny t-shirts to protest the event. You can buy them at http://www.nomoore.net/
