| Moore keeps close watch on poll |
| 2004-10-31 |
| US filmmaker Michael Moore plans to have hundreds of cameras outside polling places in Ohio and Florida on election day to watch for attempts to suppress voter turnout. The director of the anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 announced today that a total of 1200 professional and non-professional cameramen, filmmakers and videographers would take their cameras to polling places in the two presidential battleground states, especially in minority communities. "I'm putting those who intend to suppress the vote on notice: Voter intimidation and suppression will not be tolerated," Moore said. Moore, who was in Columbus, Ohio for a rally today, planned visits to Ohio and Florida on election day, his publicist Terri Hardesty said. Polls in both states indicate the race between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry is too close to call. There have been voting problems already in Florida, where 537 votes tipped the state and the presidency to Bush in 2000. In Ohio, Democrats are fighting Republican attempts to challenge voter registrations. |

| #11 Moore is sufficiently biased that election officials should be keeping his camera people at least 300 feet from the polls, or whatever the official distance is. I'd also take a look at whether or not he actually targets Republican strongholds, creating a scene out front to deter people from approaching. |

| #9 If the election goes against his candidate Kerry, Moore will use the polling film to put out another crockumentary casting doubt on the whole US election process. Is he a traitor yet ? |

| #8 We all feel relieved knowing Double-Fat Moore will be checking for voters with double registrations. |

| #6 OldSpook: More importantly - wherever Moore is, get a camera of your own. |

| #5 Kerry's so unbelievably stupid. Clinton recognized that a Dem has to do at least a couple of Sister Souljahs to the flaming left a**holes who hang around the party fringes, and did so brilliantly. Had Kerry done a Sister Mikey-- specifically, trashed him publicly and repeatedly as a traitor, fool and ObL lackey-- he'd probably be the favorite now. Instead.... Imagine if Clinton had made Sister Souljah a VIP at the 1992 Dem Convention. Unbelievable. Hillary's silence speaks volumes. No fool she. |

| #4 Got an idea: Anyplace Osama Bin Moore sets up his teams, get a coupel fo people with "Michael Moore Lies" or "Farenhype 9-11" (or Bush-Cheney) signs to continually block it with the signs. |

| #3 Mikey Boy showed up all over the latest ObL video. In fact, it was so banal one wonders whether ObL outsourced the scripting to some low-rent offshore lamebrains in this hemisphere? |

| #2 Nah - they are using a 747ER with uprated engines and JATO bottles to lift his lard ass. And I'm all for it - the more places ol' fatboy shows up, the higher the Republican turnout will go. |
