Dear Mr. Bush:

I read that you have begun your summer vacation in Crawford. Summer vacation is a great time to see a movie - that's why so many blockbusters are released at this time of year. Unfortunately, my new movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," has not been shown in Crawford (and didn't open 'til this weekend in Waco).

I write to invite you to the inaugural showing of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in Crawford at the Crawford Peace House, Wednesday, July 28 at dusk. I am very much looking forward to this Crawford premiere because, after all, so much of the film is set there in the months leading up to 9/11. Our Crawford premier will give us a chance to serve up some chips, salsa and a whole lot of truth - along with a film that I believe is all hat and all cattle, all sizzle and all steak.

If you graciously accept my invitation, I will also have the chance to thank you personally for being one of my Axis of Actors who star in the film (along with your Vice President and your Attorney General). And let's face it -- you've got the funniest lines in the film! We may even have an audience reading of "My Pet Goat" to celebrate "Fahrenheit 9/11" breaking through the $100 million mark at the box office.

Thank you for considering this invitation, and enjoy your vacation, for however long it may last.

Sincerely,
Michael Moore

Dear Mr. Moore:
Although I will fight die for your right to speak freely, and send many men under my command to do the same, I must take exception to how it is you?ve chose to express yourself. Your choice to insinuate that I am not only incompetent but would sell America out for a quick buck is not only completely unreasonable, but is completely despicable during a time of international conflict. Your actions demoralize troops, make those who support your political position sound like irrational kooks and at best come off as an artistic extremist lacking any firm intellectual honesty.

Let?s face it Mr. Moore, your argument that I allowed 9/11 to happen in order to benefit my friends and family is as well founded and rational as any argument that I might make that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. That I am not a grand general and not a master strategist of any kind and incapable of running the day to day operations of the nation, has no barring on how the troops themselves act in the field and has no effect on weather we where to go to war with Iraq or how we treat the troops themselves. War is hell but sometimes we sacrifice ourselves in order to better the life of our fellow man, in order to make us more free and prosperous here in America.

The troops don?t need some uncommon children who have been traumatized by fighting for their country plastered all over theaters across America as if they are what all of our good men and women are like. You can find a few bad cops in any 100,000 man police force. You can find a few corrupt prison officials in any dangerous jailing system. But to report these things as the norm, to insinuate that our men and women who die daily for the betterment of the world are nothing but ignorant death-dealers as you portray is as deep a strike against the troupes themselves, not the policies that lead them their, as Jain Fonda struck in her own time.

Your lack of anything resembling intellectual honesty in either our editing, voce over, or analysis of the situations you present is nothing more intellectual or reasonable than the Nazi anti-Jew propaganda.

So, no Mr. Moore, thank you for the invitation, but I have many things that are more important to do with my time, and if you didn?t lie to people about what occurs during my ?time off? you they would understand how few of my ?vacation days? are at all vacation.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush

is it just me or has anyone else noticed that most people who support bush sound like they're drunk while voicing their opinions? i'm almost positive that there is a correlation between a person's intelligence and the amount of support they have for Bush. Your letter was so painfully disgusting (my brain couldn't handle your re-invented form of english, i apologize), that i have concluded you purposely didn't make any sense in an effort to make it appear as a genuine letter from the idiot himself.

I would LOVE to see how he reinvented english. It makes more sense to me that you are the one who is drunk and thus can't read it correctly. Why don't you put your blind hate aside for a moment and read it without the typical negative liberal attitude.

haha, thanks for playing. you defending his grammar was exactly what i needed to prove my point.

edit: cheers neo-con commander ...

Why not comment on the CONTENT of what he said, rather than his grammar or spelling? Unless the grammar and spelling are so bad that you can't understand what he is trying to say, LIVE WITH IT. This is an internet message board, WTF do you expect? Perfection?

I am hating liberals more and more every day because of crap like this. You people don't debate, you use logical fallacies, you attack the poster, you change the subject. :|:|:| This is why I only visit here for maybe 5 minutes per day. I can't take any more or I would explode at the amount of raw hate and ignorance that is spewed here every 5 minutes.

Ah so you are saying that Moore is a mouth piece for America's Mortal Enemy? I didn't know that those opposed to the Dub were Mortal Enemies.

Not saying that at all....what I'm saying is that he is nothing more than a propagandist....yet some here take his word for the be all end all holiest of holies because it fits their need.

Someone brought up Rush....yes he is a gasbag as well...but he is not in anywhere near the same class of facts twisting that Moore is.

In either case.....accepting what anyone like that says without doing some critical thinking yourself is mere folly. Too many on the extremes of both sides do nothing more than march in lock step with whatever hate spewing buffoon fits their ideological need at the time. Conservatives are constantly accused of that on this forum yet the left on here rarely is. Of course that is probably because this forum is populated by mostly left leaning types who swarm on anyone who disagrees with them like hungry squirrels on an acorn.

oh wow, calm down there cowboy. see, i tried reading what he had to say. i really did. but then it felt like it was just a waste of time. Anyone who communicates their thoughts so poorly either doesn't have thoughts worth expressing or suffers from autism. Neither of which help your buddy's case out. anyway... i think it's been five minutes, so it's time for you to get lost. ahh it's a cruel world nowadays... us liberals are so belligerent towards you conservatives, it's almost as though we feel you're supporting the death of innocent civilians. Oh wait, nvm, sorry you guys are supporting the death of innocent people.

hah. of course Rush isn't anywhere near the same class of fact twisting as moore is. And you wanna know why? because the facts that Rush twists work in your favor.

When moore gets caught owning handguns, profitting from sweat shops, or cutting down a tree - you can voice your unequivocal disgust at him. until then, just shut up.

Well if the right didn't make ludicrous statements like comparing Moore to Tokyo Rose the left might not have the ammunition to swarm on the Right's Acorns😉

I tell you what. You tell me what sentence you had a problem with, and I'll do my best to clarify. In fact, let me go over the first paragraph for you right now.

Why not comment on the CONTENT of what he said, rather than his grammar or spelling?

This is plain english. An 8 year old would know what I was talking about there. Please tell me why this was so hard to read?

Unless the grammar and spelling are so bad that you can't understand what he is trying to say, LIVE WITH IT.

This could be a little more tricky for those of you still having trouble with more 'advanced' english. I am referring back the the previous sentence. I am basically wondering if what he said was so poorly communicated through bad grammar and spelling that you didn't know what he was trying to say. If you could understand what he was trying to say, then there isn't really a problem.

This is an internet message board, WTF do you expect? Perfection?

This is a continuation of my previous thought. I am saying that we are not being 'graded' on our grammar or spelling. This is an internet message board, so perfect grammar and spelling are not required.



Does this help a little? I don't see what was so tough about that. Does anyone else?

you're denser than i thought.

oh wow, calm down there cowboy. see, i tried reading what he had to say.

get it? i was confused about what he had to say (the guy with the original letter "written by bush" that you so quickly defended), not you. see a little reading comprehension goes a long way, commander.

Dear Mr. Bush:

I read that you have begun your summer vacation in Crawford. Summer vacation is a great time to see a movie - that's why so many blockbusters are released at this time of year. Unfortunately, my new movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," has not been shown in Crawford (and didn't open 'til this weekend in Waco).

I write to invite you to the inaugural showing of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in Crawford at the Crawford Peace House, Wednesday, July 28 at dusk. I am very much looking forward to this Crawford premiere because, after all, so much of the film is set there in the months leading up to 9/11. Our Crawford premier will give us a chance to serve up some chips, salsa and a whole lot of truth - along with a film that I believe is all hat and all cattle, all sizzle and all steak.

If you graciously accept my invitation, I will also have the chance to thank you personally for being one of my Axis of Actors who star in the film (along with your Vice President and your Attorney General). And let's face it -- you've got the funniest lines in the film! We may even have an audience reading of "My Pet Goat" to celebrate "Fahrenheit 9/11" breaking through the $100 million mark at the box office.

Thank you for considering this invitation, and enjoy your vacation, for however long it may last.

Sincerely,
Michael Moore

Dear Mr. Moore:
Although I will fight die for your right to speak freely, and send many men under my command to do the same, I must take exception to how it is you?ve chose to express yourself. Your choice to insinuate that I am not only incompetent but would sell America out for a quick buck is not only completely unreasonable, but is completely despicable during a time of international conflict. Your actions demoralize troops, make those who support your political position sound like irrational kooks and at best come off as an artistic extremist lacking any firm intellectual honesty.

Let?s face it Mr. Moore, your argument that I allowed 9/11 to happen in order to benefit my friends and family is as well founded and rational as any argument that I might make that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. That I am not a grand general and not a master strategist of any kind and incapable of running the day to day operations of the nation, has no barring on how the troops themselves act in the field and has no effect on weather we where to go to war with Iraq or how we treat the troops themselves. War is hell but sometimes we sacrifice ourselves in order to better the life of our fellow man, in order to make us more free and prosperous here in America.

The troops don?t need some uncommon children who have been traumatized by fighting for their country plastered all over theaters across America as if they are what all of our good men and women are like. You can find a few bad cops in any 100,000 man police force. You can find a few corrupt prison officials in any dangerous jailing system. But to report these things as the norm, to insinuate that our men and women who die daily for the betterment of the world are nothing but ignorant death-dealers as you portray is as deep a strike against the troupes themselves, not the policies that lead them their, as Jain Fonda struck in her own time.

Your lack of anything resembling intellectual honesty in either our editing, voce over, or analysis of the situations you present is nothing more intellectual or reasonable than the Nazi anti-Jew propaganda.

So, no Mr. Moore, thank you for the invitation, but I have many things that are more important to do with my time, and if you didn?t lie to people about what occurs during my ?time off? you they would understand how few of my ?vacation days? are at all vacation.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush

is it just me or has anyone else noticed that most people who support bush sound like they're drunk while voicing their opinions? i'm almost positive that there is a correlation between a person's intelligence and the amount of support they have for Bush. Your letter was so painfully disgusting (my brain couldn't handle your re-invented form of english, i apologize), that i have concluded you purposely didn't make any sense in an effort to make it appear as a genuine letter from the idiot himself.

I would LOVE to see how he reinvented english. It makes more sense to me that you are the one who is drunk and thus can't read it correctly. Why don't you put your blind hate aside for a moment and read it without the typical negative liberal attitude.

haha, thanks for playing. you defending his grammar was exactly what i needed to prove my point.

edit: cheers neo-con commander ...

Why not comment on the CONTENT of what he said, rather than his grammar or spelling? Unless the grammar and spelling are so bad that you can't understand what he is trying to say, LIVE WITH IT. This is an internet message board, WTF do you expect? Perfection?

I am hating liberals more and more every day because of crap like this. You people don't debate, you use logical fallacies, you attack the poster, you change the subject. :|:|:| This is why I only visit here for maybe 5 minutes per day. I can't take any more or I would explode at the amount of raw hate and ignorance that is spewed here every 5 minutes.

oh wow, calm down there cowboy. see, i tried reading what he had to say. i really did. but then it felt like it was just a waste of time. Anyone who communicates their thoughts so poorly either doesn't have thoughts worth expressing or suffers from autism. Neither of which help your buddy's case out. anyway... i think it's been five minutes, so it's time for you to get lost. ahh it's a cruel world nowadays... us liberals are so belligerent towards you conservatives, it's almost as though we feel you're supporting the death of innocent civilians. Oh wait, nvm, sorry you guys are supporting the death of innocent people.

Not everyone is a writer you know.....my wife is one of the most intelligent people you would ever want to meet, yet writing is not her strong suit. Judging someone based upon their writing ability is snobbery in a very high form. Some are just not gifted in that area. Not sure why I am wasting my time on you though....you seem to be nothing more than a typical elitist liberal who thinks they know better than anyone else.

Not saying that at all....what I'm saying is that he is nothing more than a propagandist....yet some here take his word for the be all end all holiest of holies because it fits their need.

Someone brought up Rush....yes he is a gasbag as well...but he is not in anywhere near the same class of facts twisting that Moore is.

In either case.....accepting what anyone like that says without doing some critical thinking yourself is mere folly. Too many on the extremes of both sides do nothing more than march in lock step with whatever hate spewing buffoon fits their ideological need at the time. Conservatives are constantly accused of that on this forum yet the left on here rarely is. Of course that is probably because this forum is populated by mostly left leaning types who swarm on anyone who disagrees with them like hungry squirrels on an acorn.

hah. of course Rush isn't anywhere near the same class of fact twisting as moore is. And you wanna know why? because the facts that Rush twists work in your favor.

When moore gets caught owning handguns, profitting from sweat shops, or cutting down a tree - you can voice your unequivocal disgust at him. until then, just shut up.

Shut up? Typical response. You don't like what someone is saying so you try to shout them down.

Well if the right didn't make ludicrous statements like comparing Moore to Tokyo Rose the left might not have the ammunition to swarm on the Right's Acorns😉

How about the left comparing Bush to Hitler? 😉

Heck....at least you know who Tokyo Rose is.....3/4 of the people on here probably think it's a mixed drink...something you make by combining Red Bull with goat's milk.

Dear Mr. Bush:

I read that you have begun your summer vacation in Crawford. Summer vacation is a great time to see a movie - that's why so many blockbusters are released at this time of year. Unfortunately, my new movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," has not been shown in Crawford (and didn't open 'til this weekend in Waco).

I write to invite you to the inaugural showing of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in Crawford at the Crawford Peace House, Wednesday, July 28 at dusk. I am very much looking forward to this Crawford premiere because, after all, so much of the film is set there in the months leading up to 9/11. Our Crawford premier will give us a chance to serve up some chips, salsa and a whole lot of truth - along with a film that I believe is all hat and all cattle, all sizzle and all steak.

If you graciously accept my invitation, I will also have the chance to thank you personally for being one of my Axis of Actors who star in the film (along with your Vice President and your Attorney General). And let's face it -- you've got the funniest lines in the film! We may even have an audience reading of "My Pet Goat" to celebrate "Fahrenheit 9/11" breaking through the $100 million mark at the box office.

Thank you for considering this invitation, and enjoy your vacation, for however long it may last.

Sincerely,
Michael Moore

Dear Mr. Moore:
Although I will fight die for your right to speak freely, and send many men under my command to do the same, I must take exception to how it is you?ve chose to express yourself. Your choice to insinuate that I am not only incompetent but would sell America out for a quick buck is not only completely unreasonable, but is completely despicable during a time of international conflict. Your actions demoralize troops, make those who support your political position sound like irrational kooks and at best come off as an artistic extremist lacking any firm intellectual honesty.

Let?s face it Mr. Moore, your argument that I allowed 9/11 to happen in order to benefit my friends and family is as well founded and rational as any argument that I might make that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. That I am not a grand general and not a master strategist of any kind and incapable of running the day to day operations of the nation, has no barring on how the troops themselves act in the field and has no effect on weather we where to go to war with Iraq or how we treat the troops themselves. War is hell but sometimes we sacrifice ourselves in order to better the life of our fellow man, in order to make us more free and prosperous here in America.

The troops don?t need some uncommon children who have been traumatized by fighting for their country plastered all over theaters across America as if they are what all of our good men and women are like. You can find a few bad cops in any 100,000 man police force. You can find a few corrupt prison officials in any dangerous jailing system. But to report these things as the norm, to insinuate that our men and women who die daily for the betterment of the world are nothing but ignorant death-dealers as you portray is as deep a strike against the troupes themselves, not the policies that lead them their, as Jain Fonda struck in her own time.

Your lack of anything resembling intellectual honesty in either our editing, voce over, or analysis of the situations you present is nothing more intellectual or reasonable than the Nazi anti-Jew propaganda.

So, no Mr. Moore, thank you for the invitation, but I have many things that are more important to do with my time, and if you didn?t lie to people about what occurs during my ?time off? you they would understand how few of my ?vacation days? are at all vacation.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush

haha, well the man decided to represent your president. If writing wasn't his line of work he should have left it for an intelligent conservative to do so. although i really find it hard to believe an intelligent conservative would make such blatant assumptions about Bush's character and his willingness to die for our freedom. nonetheless the letter gave me a headache. are you finished defending him or no?

Are you finished being a jackass? Again....not everyone is a strong writer and for you to attack someone on a freaking Internet message board for their writing is snobbery..... Who the hell cares if someone posts something and their writing isn't on par with Hemingway, etc? This is a place to speak your mind and share your thoughts.....not have your writing critiqued.

no i think you earned my response. your subjective opinion presented as fact regarding moore being a more elusive manipulator than your "holier than thou" rush was as productive as my "shut up" was.

So say you....... People and things that don't immediately accept your opinion really get on your nerves don't they? I mean why shouldn't everyone agree with you? You are obviously in possession of a much more superior intellect than the rest of us here. Why I'm surprised that anyone other than you on these forums even has enough intelligence to breathe. Thank you oh great one for blessing us with your presence. Please sir.....will you throw us some breadcrumbs now so that we the unworthy may live of your table scraps?

i don't believe my intention was to quote you as calling Rush holy. Although i haven't slept in 2 days, i'm not quite tired enough to imagine seeing words. Compassion and purity are just the images your "typical" conservative tries to pull. Just as you claim that my "typical" response would be to tell you to shut up (as if you made a great point -- which you never did), i went ahead and made the assumption that Rush is the "Typical" Holier than Thou conservative. i dunno...whatever...go back and read it again and you will see that ...nvm don't bother.
