If I could only remember who the fucking idiots were who told me how biased the film Farenheit 911 was, how when Michael Moore showed daily life in Iraq before the bombing, they claimed there was tender music playing, trying to subtly influence the audience.

In a poll taken before the election, 48% of Bush supporters still believed Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. That kind of ignorance needs a sledge hammer, not a tap on the shoulder.

I still believe the film made a difference, and that the election ended up the way it did only because the incumbent administration prevailed at the one and only thing they've proven themselves competent: election fraud.

About demonstrating, I was speaking broadly, but there are specific demonstrations organized by moveon.org and others. For example, they recently organized demonstrations in front of the homes of congressmen in order to encourage them to sign on to Rep. Conyers impeachment effort. The hope is that we'll move forward on prosecuting the President for breaking the law, rather than engaging in masturbatory debates about the nuances of what the law really means.
