Farenheit 9/11 was the worst piece of propaganda excrement I’ve ever had the misfortune to watch. I booed throughout and was reprimanded by my wife more than once for yelling “bull shit” in the theatre.
The movie was filled with more lies, half-truths, and out-of-context spin than a “documentary” has the right to, including this:
A double-amputee Iraq-war vet is suing Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming the portly peacenik recycled an old interview and used it out of context to make him appear anti-war in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, who strongly supports America’s invasion of Iraq, said he never agreed to be in the 2004 movie, which trashes President Bush.
In the 2003 interview, which he did at Walter Reed Army Hospital for NBC News, he discussed only a new painkiller the military was using on wounded vets.
“They took the clip because it was a gut-wrenching scene,” Damon said yesterday. “They sandwiched it in. [Moore] was using me as ammunition.”
I hope Sgt Damon gets paid. Big.
