Australian Distributors of Moore Film Say They've Been Threatened

The Australian film distribution company that secured rights to release Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 has received threatening emails, mainly from the U.S., in the wake of the deal, the Melbourne newspaper The Age reported today (Thursday). A spokeswoman for Hopscotch Films told the newspaper that the emails warned that if the company went ahead with its planned release of the movie, it would do so "at our own peril." Hopscotch has asked Internet providers to try to track down the threatening writers. Meanwhile, the director of the Melbourne International Film Festival announced today that the movie will be given its Australian premiere at the festival on July 22. He expressed hope that Fahrenheit will be able to "sustain the inevitable scrutiny" of its content between now and then.

These people on the Right are very violent, bloodthirsty people.

No wonder Moore is a gun owner.

Moore seems to support gun policies that disallow him from protecting himself from the bloodthirsty (and armed) freepers though.

He had the Hundred Mom March banner on his site for some time.

(er...fundie) efforts at FR and LGF.

They DO reserve a special kind of hate for Michael Moore.
I’m sure he is on every Fruit Cake’s “Kill List”, I’ve heard he was on the guy’s list they busted in our city a few weeks ago.
Next to Clinton , He is number 2 at least.

DU has been a breath of fresh air for me, I’ve spent the last 6 months on a heavily dominated Neo board in my local community.

And thanks everyone for the intelligent post and conversation.

there are a few others if you want to check them out. (Obviously I stick with DU cause I need the constant contact with other progressives. *l*)

Anyway, the other boards (some liberal, some a broad mix of views) are listed on my website on the news and views page. :)

I bet.

... and these folks are true terrorists.
