Moving America Backwards: Censoring Michael Moore, by Scott C. Smith - Democratic Underground

Moving America Backwards: Censoring Michael Moore, by Scott C. Smith - Democratic Underground: "If the group Move America Forward has its way, come June 25th, you will not be able to see Michael Moore's new film, Fahrenheit 9/11.
Why? Well, the main reason seems to be - we do not like what Michael Moore has to say about America. And, being freedom-loving Americans, we want to pressure movie theater chains not to screen the film.
Another question that comes to mind is, what the hell is Move America Forward? I know, I hadn't heard of them, either, until recently. As I looked over their web site, the first thought that popped into my mind was: right-wing fascist nut cases. But that's not fair. I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, so I'm not qualified to make judgments on the mental health of Move America Forward's board of directors and staff.

Melanie Morgan appeared on the June 16 Crossfire to argue her group's case against Michael Moore's film. Which, by the way, she has not seen. There's nothing like a good old-fashioned boycott based on not knowing anything about the source material."
