Jun. 25) -- The highly anticipated film, Fahrenheit 9/11, came with more than just controversy at one Las Vegas movie theatre. Moviegoer, Richard Streeter, was one of the many who made his way to a theatre to see what the hype was about. After viewing the film, he was greeted outside the theatre by members of the Las Vegas MoveOn.org.

The group was handing out leaflets on the importance of the film. Streeter voiced his view on the movie, "I made the comment, apples and oranges -- Kerry, Bush -- one's no better than the other. You really ain't got much of a choice. This guy comes up to me and says, 'Oh yeah?'_"_Streeter was then spat on by the same man.

He attempted to call police to report the incident when he was told not to, "A guy standing next to him said why don't you drop it. I said, 'No, I'm calling the police. I'm exercising my right as a citizen, I've been assaulted.' "

But the horror kept on growing for Streeter as he walked to his car on the phone with police, "This guy turns, and totally by surprise takes his hand and bam! It was a big guy. Shoved me onto the ground,_I hit my head." A police report has been filed.

OK. Then you mean, "A few MoveOn volunteers = Thugs."

Right?

Zimphire · Jun 28, 2004, 03:11 PM

MoveOn is a group of people. That group symbolizes and represents MoveON.

I bet you wont see this on their page apologizing.

These people also represents the peace loving liberals.

If you think MoveOn condones this, then you are just another shill for Bush and the right.

MacGorilla · Jun 28, 2004, 03:15 PM

So you are saying a small group of people is representative of the whole? So Limbaugh and Liddy represent the entire conservative movement? or US solidiers abusing prisoners in Iraq represents the entire millitary? That's silly.

Whhaaa? Where did I say they condoned it?

The people who represent that group have on many occasions showed their asses in public.

This is just ONE example.

Me saying that they haven't APOLOGIZED isn't me saying they have CONDONED it.

No, that isn't what I am saying.

I am not saying that these groups represent all Liberals.

I am saying that these people did indeed represent Moveon. And they DID!

Rush represents the Dittoheads. Not all of conservatives.

Liddy represented those who would commit such acts in prison.

Fine, then. We can agree MoveOn does not condone this, and that the actions of a few volunteers are not representative of what MoveOn stand for.

So you can go ahead and edit your title so that it doesn't implicate the organization as a whole. M'kay?

No, that isn't what MoveOn stands for. But MoveOn members have a history of acting this way.

Now zach, what makes up move on? The people.

If the people of Move on are acting this way it effects the outlook of MoveOn.

But hey, If I can I will edit the topic.

Oh, I agree that it looks bad.

It looks bad for any group/company/organization when a few members do something stupid/illegal/whatever.

That said, "MoveOn.org" as a whole doesn't equal "thugs."

The KKK has supported Bush in recent times, including this election... and they have a long history as well of these situations.

But we don't talk about them to much these days.

Amazing how even a group like that can turn into the 'good guys' in the minds of a few.

damn. Four years later and you haven't yet posted anything that was correct. I'm being serious.

Actually, the American White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan suggests that you vote for Al Sharpton - and discourages you from voting for Bush.

Do some research, macvillage. I can't remember the last time you were right about anything.

"We do not recommend voting for President Bush.
President Bush has abandoned his Constitutional duty to defend our borders by proposing amnesty of 12 million illegal immigrants.
President Bush has run budget deficits in excess of $400,000,000,000.00. Biggest spender in the history of our country.
President Bush has rewarded by recess appointment to the federal bench the man who persecuted Judge Roy Moore. Bill Pryor may sit in judgment of a Georgia Ten Commandments case someday.
President Bush has worked to desecrate Southern Heritage and encouraged the removal of Our Flag from the rigged referendum.
President Bush supports the renewal of the semi-automatic gun ban.
He does not justify our support unless he reverses the above liberal and politically correct positions.

If you must vote - we recommend voting Democratic for Al Sharpton as the weakest candidate of the lot.

Democratic Presidential Primary

The most worthless group of candidates ever assembled on one ballot. Every one of these candidates are so far out in left field that all they can catch is foul balls. We recommend none of them.
If you must vote - we recommend voting for Al Sharpton as the weakest candidate of the lot. All he can catch is foul balls also, but he is more honest about it.

This election is an insult to the citizens of Georgia.
For the November election we recommend taking a look at the Constitution Party for a Presidential candidate that might understand Constitutional government and the Principles Upon Which Our Country Was Founded.

We do not recommend voting for the lesser of two evils - this only brings evil. To begin restoring the Principles Upon which Our Country was founded we must return to voting only for principled candidates and issues."

Absolutely. A few bad apples can spoil the bunch. No matter who you reprsent, you should conduct yourself in a professional manner. And even if you are a wacko, at least act like you belong with the rest of us (not saying MoveOn.org are wackos, just an example).

Spliffdaddy · Jun 28, 2004, 04:14 PM

well, if you can't call MoveOn.org a bunch of wackos - then you really can't apply the wacko terminology to anything at all.

the word would die without MoveOn's continued need for it.

PacHead · Jun 28, 2004, 04:18 PM

This is nothing new from the extreme - violent - left. Just look at all the "peace" marches that these people attend. They make the gestapo look like nice people.

So if people do not agree with F-911, they will be spat upon and beaten up ? Nice fascist behavior.

Anyone right of center, should perhaps pack a piece before going to see this movie, with all of the "peaceful", and tolerant lefties that one will also find at the theatre.

As for myself, I will be seeing it within the comfort and safety of my own home.

Nobody on the right would do this sort of thing, eh? Wait, where's Zimph, I'm sure he'll point out how you're projecting... but no, wait, he started this thread.

No, that isn't what the right stands for. But the right members have a history of acting this way.

Your comparing Apple's to Oranges.

awkkkk != KKK.

Affiliation yes... but far from the same thing.

AWKKK's main target is jews. That's really the bottom line. Any president who supports Israel is against them.

KKK is equally hatred of Jews, athiests, blacks, muslims, immigration, homosexuals, among others.

Your not even looking at the right group Spiff.

Not everyone is a leftist leaning Bush hating sheep.

There is a reason why the Moore supporters are called "Mooreons"

It's been given standing ovations in many, many parts of the country.

When was the last time you went to France?

Or are you making broad generalizations again - with no basis in fact?

Zimphire · Jun 29, 2004, 07:43 AM

I apologize. Let me restate that.

The French hate Bush. And anything bad said about him will get the thumbs up by them. Truth or not.

Just like the American Bush-Haters.

They don't care about the truth. Just the accusations.

How do you know that "The French" hate Bush? On what basis did you reach such a conclusion?

It's probably more accurate to say that some of the French -perhaps a majority, but I have no data to support even that - disagree with Bush's current foreign policy.

I don't believe you can support your assertion that all the French hate Bush.
