MICHAEL MOORE’S MISLEADS EXPOSED!

Twenty-One Fallacies of Fahrenheit 9/11 Exposed

Washington, DC – Grassfire.org, an online conservative issues advocacy organization, has launched a major Internet and radio campaign in support of its new 32-page booklet entitled Michael Moore’s Misleads: Exposing 21 Fallacies of Fahrenheit 9/11.

Grassfire.org is distributing two copies of the booklet to supporters and urging them to share one with a friend. So far, the campaign is seeing a tremendous response. Grassfire.org has received hundreds of emails from both supportive conservatives as well as liberals incensed that Grassfire.org would dare challenge the movie.

“People are being deceived by this movie and its message, and we want to set the record straight," says Steve Elliott, president of Grassfire.org. “This booklet debunks so much of the liberal rhetoric we are hearing about the President, the election, the war, the economy and 9-11. We have painstakingly researched and put together what we consider to be a definitive resource that counters the misleads of Moore and his movie.”

Following are samples of some of the untruths addressed in the booklet.

Mislead #6 —
Bush bumbles 9/11
We are barely 10 minutes into the film when Moore steps up the intensity of his attacks. With ominous music, we arrive at the morning of September 11, 2001. Here is how Moore describes President Bush’s response to initially hearing the news of the terrorist attacks. “Not knowing what to do, with no one telling him what to do, and no Secret Service rushing in to take him to safety, Mr. Bush just sat there and continued to read “My Pet Goat” with the children.”

Mislead #18 —
Saddam never murdered a single American
Moore narrates on the invasion of Iraq: “A nation that had never murdered a single United States citizen.”

Mislead #21 —
Our low-class military
Moore wonders aloud where the military will find the new recruits. He answers his own question by saying “in the places that had been destroyed by the economy. Places where the only job available is to join the army. Places like my hometown of Flint, Michigan.” Moore then focuses on a run down portion of Flint Michigan with a proclaimed unemployment rate of 17%. Moore claims that out of the 535 members of the Congress, only one had a son in Iraq. Moore also does a cinematic ambush of various members of Congress by asking if they’ll send their children to Iraq. Moore ends the segment with, “Of course, not a single member of Congress wanted to sacrifice their child for the war in Iraq”.
