We may not get to see Fahrenheit 911 but, I'm sure it's of the same vein as 'Bowling For Columbine' another Moore documentary.
I don't fear what Moore has to say as much as I fear being denied the ability to hear Moore.

I fully expect the right wing and the Republican Party to come at me and this film with everything they’ve got. They will try, as they have unsuccessfully in the past, to attack me personally because they cannot win the debate on the issues the film raises—namely, that they are a pack of liars and the American people are on to them. And, if the early screenings of “Fahrenheit 9/11” are any indication, those who see this movie will never view the Bush administration in the same way again.

Let me clarify.
It's not the inability to 'hear Moore'. I really meant the inability to 'hear a dissenting voice'.

I was also trying to make the point that Michael Moore's "dissenting voice" isn't going to be silenced just because Disney chooses not to distribute his film, or because there are a lot of people who disagree with his politics. There are now more ways than ever for those with dissenting opinions to get their message out and to connect with others who are willing to listen.Can you elaborate on the reason(s) behind your concerns? I'm not saying your wrong about anything...I'm just trying to understand (and I've got some time to kill today).

I for one want to see the movie. I've got one of his books, and though I haven' t gotten around to reading it he appears to cite his sources quite well. How credible those sources are I don't know, because again I haven't read the book or researched his sources. But I'm always a skeptic, and always paranoid of and annoyed by the government, individuals that is. I know the government as a whole is necessary, but I just can't stand politicians.
