<\/a>I’ve heard of at least three low-rent movies that are marketed as sort of the “anti Farenheight 9\/11” (a movie I haven’t seen, and a movie I’m not sure if I should<\/i> see.]<\/p>\n

One is a haliography of Bush focusing on his faith… honey for the right-wing evangelicals. The website to it offers a person who, quote-in-quote, “mistakenly purchased Farenhight 9\/11”, can turn that one in for this one.<\/p>\n

The second one had a spurt of activists trying to get it into a theater as “counter-programming” to Moore’s film. A batch of happy “Morning in America” images, entitled something like “America’s Heart and Soul”. The only image I saw of the film is of somebody who looks like Larry Bird pushing a retarded child who happens to be bound by a wheelchair… devoid of context, you imagine he’s pushing him right down a hill into a gutter. For their part, the directors disassociated themselves from this marketing push, saying the film was not in any way partisan.<\/p>\n

The third film… Fox News is flogging right now based on some second or third rate actor who supposedly is having a hard time in Hollywood after appearing in this movie. “Farenhype 9\/11″… “exposes Bill Clinton’s weakness”, “shows that Michael Moore is a douchebag”, and “shows George W Bush’s steadfast resolve in the face of terrorism”. It has the virtue of being, at least from what I know, of being a direct response<\/i>, as opposed to the one that showed Larry Bird throwing a wheelchair-bound retard down a hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
