| GOP 2004: Moore Won't Return to Madison Square Garden |
| 2004-08-31 |
| Following all the commotion last night, He is just plain scared someone will confront him...and he will not have his "Mike Tyson" entourage to protest him. However, they said he would continue to write his daily column and they stressed that in no way did they second-guess their decision to have him write the commentary. Ugh, yeah...anything you say. Last month, Ann Coulter, who had been hired by USA Today to write a column at the Democratic National Convention, quit after the editors requested many changes in her first submission. Which shows that USAToday is nothing more than the sock puppet of the left. They fear the challenge of ideas...unless they control the venue. After entering the Garden Monday night with USA Today credentials, Moore was criticized by Sen. John McCain in his speech, setting off prolonged boos and taunts in the arena. He's lucky they didn't make him run a gauntlet. "We had hoped we would be able to put Moore in place where he could actually listen to speeches and not disrupt anything," Ken Paulson, USA Today editor, told E&P today. "The idea was not to put him in the line of sight while giving him the opportunity to observe. Now Moore doesn't plan to return to the convention. I think he saw the down side of his attending. We will have the four days of his column and I hope people will take time to read what he wrote. Yea, Ken. Does that mean that USATODAY journalism is of the same caliber as F9/11? Hmmm? "We never want to be the story. Let's see...you hire Mullah Moore for the RNC and you don't want to be the story. Sure, anything you say, chief. Ann Coulter tired of our Has anybody had enough of their BS?? Paulson said the paper, from the start, declined to request a floor pass for Moore, knowing that would likely set off tumult. In this corner we have the Mullah Michael Moore. In this corner, we have the 1st MEF. Marines. Lock and load. Owen Ullmann, the paper's deputy editorial page editor, said "I was not surprised that he would attract attention but was surprised by the extent of the media frenzy. Regrettably the security people ushered him into an area that caused a media frenzy." Now, he added, "it's Moore's call on how he plans to cover it." mullah moore will cover this like covers other historical events. He will publish lies, half truths, and out of context statements to create a docudrama for his sheep on the left. |

| #11 And all this time I thought this useless tub 'o' goo at least had the courage of his convictions, however shtoopit they were... I honestly thought he fed off negativity like a child predator feeds off 'Nickelodeon.' We have found his Achille's heel! Now we just need to find his ankle... |

| #9 McCain never used the name of the filmmaker or the name of a movie. You (and the entire RNC) only assume he meant Michael Moore. That's not actionable. Moore is not returning because he has a huge ego and it was illfed at the convention. At the Democrat convention he was a rockstar, at the Republican convention he was booed by everyone at once. That's gotta bug you even if he put on a brave front. |

| #8 I am still waiting for Moore to sue McCain. Didn’t Jabba threaten legal action against anyone who impugned his movie? Come on Jabba go through with the threat! Moore, like his liberal friends, never has shown a backbone when confronted with opposition. If he was anything approaching a man, he would go there every day and report (like he was paid to do). Instead he waddles away with some angry words and munching on remains of his security detail. I heard that the main reason he isn’t returning is that he can’t fit through the metal detectors! |

| #6 I can honestly say I have never read USA Today. The first time I saw it I was reminded of some POS tabloid. I knew that is was not going to be worth the time it would take to read. Nothing has changed. |

| #5 He'll write want he's going to write. Being there has nothing to do with it. Nor does objective reality, for that matter. |

| #3 As I said in an earlier thread, there's no need for Lumpy to attend the convention he can make up this kind of crap from his kitchen table. 1)Saves USA today expense money 2)Keeps him close to the refrigerator |

| #2 Like a cockaroach when the light is turned on... It just scurries (or in his case, waddles) away. |
