SignOnSanDiego.com > News > North County -- Moore's 'Slacker Tour' plays fairgrounds: "DEL MAR - A crowd of 10,000 sang 'America The Beautiful' Tuesday night along with filmmaker Michael Moore and folk-singing icon Joan Baez.
And so, Moore brought his Slacker Uprising Tour to town, attracting 10 times the audience he would have had if he had not been banned from Cal State San Marcos.
'Because of the Republican repressive attitude of the administration toward free speech, we're here with 10,000,' he said from the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Outside, about 200 demonstrators gathered at Via de la Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard, holding signs criticizing the filmmaker and supporting President Bush.
Motorists honked, most in apparent support but some to express their displeasure. Some proffered a one-finger salute. "
