Re: Michael Moore's statement - White House website press release
Most of you read the terrific letter from Michael Moore (below), but... I wanted to actually locate the quote MM makes reference to....
can you BULLLLIEVE this? it's archived at the White House press release page!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/11/20051117-7.html
Statement by the Press Secretary on Congressman Murtha's Statement
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY Congressman Murtha is a respected veteran and politician who has a record of supporting a strong America. So it is baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party. The eve of an
historic democratic election in Iraq is not the time to surrender to the terrorists. After seeing his statement, we remain baffled -- nowhere does he explain how retreating from Iraq makes America safer
wrote: 11/19/05 Dear Mr. Bush: I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions: 1. Going to war was a mistake -- a big mistake. (link) 2. You and your administration misled us into this war. (link) 3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home. (link) 4. We don't trust you. (link) Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow. Iraq was going to be your great legacy. Now, it's just your legacy. It didn't have to end up this way. This week, when Republicans and conservative Democrats started jumping ship, you lashed out at them. You thought the most damning thing you could say to them was that they were "endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party." I mean, is that the best you can do to persuade them to stick with you -- compare them to me? You gotta come up with a better villain. For heaven's sakes, you had a hundred-plus million other Americans who think the same way I do -- and you could have picked on any one of them! But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the
smearing and just do the obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on the wild side! Your loyal representative from the majority, Michael Moore
