Thumbs up Support Overstock.com as they support our troops...

Our troops were being shown Michael Moore's nonsensical Fahrenheit 911 without the benefit of the daily rebuttal's we are privy to here in the States.

A group of Moore watchers rightly found this unacceptable and began trying to raise funds to send 10,000 copies of the TRUTH (FahrenHYPE 911) to our troops.
In a monumental show of support, Overstock.com (they own the rights of distribution of this film) announced they would send 5,000 free copies of this DVD to our soldiers.

I applaud their efforts and think anyone who appreciates truth ought to make an attempt to support this company. Donations were accepted at: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

BUT there was such an outpouring of support that they are not even accepting donations at this time. Pretty cool, huh?

Here is an excerpt from the article telling about this:
Quote:
The movie turns Moore’s lie-fest on it’s ear, point by point for the first half, effectively dissecting each Moore lie and telling the “rest-of-the-story” in a clean and effective manner. You’ll recognize many of the themes, such as The seven minutes in the classroom,The Saudi Flights , unscrupulous military recruiting practices, The Pantagraph Headline and many others.

Later in the film, interviews with Zell Miller make you realize he wasn’t just putting on an act at the RNC convention. I could listen to the wisdom of that great -grandfather of four for hours.
Also:
Quote:
Several minutes is spent listening to the soldier who lost both his arms who was featured in F911. He describes his disgust and shock at the thought of his image being used in Moore’s movie without his permission. He speaks of duty and honor. He rejects the “victimhood” slung around his neck in Moore’s film with talk of pride in his service and his optimism for the future. He is particularly adamant about rejecting Moore’s statement that “soldiers are being neglected” when they come home injured. At one point, he looks directly into the camrea and issues a much deserved scolding to Michael Moore for dishonoring his service and the service of his brothers in arms. His strength will move you.
