Jazzerman,

There are hundreds of thousands of people who think Moore's films are documentaries, many of those are adults.

It was the first documentary to win the top prize since Jacques Cousteau's The Silent World in 1956.

Yeah, I know, and its very sad as well Too bad people don't find out the truth themselves instead of relying on fictional documentaries (a bit of an oxymoron actually )

GMU made a good decision if you ask me. Do we really need someone going around the country dividing it up the way this guy is doing? I think not. When Hillary Clinton and stand up and say to her Democrat constituents, that they need to show more support for the president and work with him, then it should be obvious some people only do it for publicity.

I really can say that I do admire Hillary for her stern attitude.

Michael Moore=Public Slob #1

from GradyPhilpott's post:
Two days later, Reviglio called Jeff Champagne, student and vice-president of the ASUN Programming Board, saying his group would pay for the expenses of bringing the conservative speaker to UNR in addition to the $100,000 donation. The board is responsible for bringing events to the campus.

Champagne spoke with ASUN senators and executive officers who declined the offer.

�I think the money would be a great benefit to the university, and if their commitment to the university is that shallow then maybe it�s not worth it,� said Lauralie Ezra, a senior and senator representing the College of Liberal Arts, the largest on campus.

�We don�t want their money. They can�t buy our votes,� she said.

I interpret this as her being afraid to bring opposing viewpoints to the table. Apparently she's afraid MM would get his butt handed to him.

The University probably viewed the REAL documentaries
FarenHYPE 9-11 and Celcius 41.11. Those are documentaries
that take Moores mockumentary F911 apart and show the
truth ... something Moore has no clue about.

I'm still fuzzy on 'advertising' here. I know where people
can get the FarenHype 9-11 and Celcius 41.11 documentaries.
If anyone wants them, U2U me and I'll let you know. If a
mod steps in and says I can post where to get them, then
I'll post that here.

BTW - Celcius 41.11 is named for the temperature that the
brain melts. It is telling people that anyone who believes
F911 must have had their brains melted. That's the point
of the title.
