Quote from director of FarenHYPE 9/11

[vulturesrow]

Director Alan Peterson may seem like an unlikely person to battle one of the world's most famous (or infamous) filmmakers. Before 9/11, Peterson was a conventional liberal. But seeing the second plane hit the World Trade Center that morning changed him forever.

"Prior to that moment, I had considered myself an intellectual liberal. One of those people who think that they are superior because they believe they are privy to some hidden knowledge that the rest of the world doesn't understand; a knowledge that lets you belittle our government and nation because, of course, you know more than they do. In that single, horrific moment, I realized how stupid I was."

Peterson, a long-time freelance director and producer, saw his liberalism melt away in that instant. When Moore's antiwar film became the left-wing must-see movie this summer, Peterson decided something had to be done to counter it. Executive producers Lee Troxler and Jeff Hays agreed, and hired Peterson to direct a film that would respond directly to Fahrenheit 9/11.

This was part of an article on this movie. You can read the story here.

If a plance hitting a building told him THAT, then he probably never realized how stupid he was/is for a very good reason.

Now, I have a different kind of superior knowledge...

Why do non-liberals think liberals belittle our government and our nation?

[elwoodblues]

Only while they are in power. When liberals have the power, it's all "wag the dog" when we go to war.

I bought that off of Overstock.com a couple weeks ago (and yes, I paid my $8 and saw that other movie in the theatres). In 'Hype, Michael Moore gets exposed for what he really is... a lying propagandist.

You will not get an answer to this question. I want to know as well.

I don't think the right knows how to handle power. If they did Bush would be winning in a landside.
