I know you say that in humor, but I wouldnt be suprised if someone nutty enough does try to kill Moore.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 So you're denouncing the assassination of a filmmaker and promoting the assassination of a filmmaker? Nice sentiment, thanks.
Bill from NYC Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I know you say that in humor, but I wouldnt be suprised if someone nutty enough does try to kill Moore. 96679[/snapback] I disagree. Moore has little to fear. He and Bin-Laden are allies in the Kerry Campaign.

He and Bin-Laden are allies in the Kerry Campaign. 96708[/snapback] Exactly...OBL is obviously a big fan of Moore's work...Indirect as it may be, it seems as if Moore has become OBL's speech writer...Great to see folks joining together in a common cause...
Thurman's Helmet Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Michael Moore is Bin Ladin's best friend right now. He's about as safe as safe can get from being killed. Then again, he's looking like he's a few cheeseburgers away from cardiac arrest.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 How dare you say anything bad about those poor, innocent Muslims. Don't you know Christians killed people during the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition?
GG Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 How dare you say anything bad about those poor, innocent Muslims. Don't you know Christians killed people during the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition? 97033[/snapback] Yeah, but that was because nobody expected a Spanish Inquisition.
Alaska Darin Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Yeah, but that was because nobody expected a Spanish Inquisition. 97075[/snapback] Boy have they turned French since those days.
