Morford on Moore and F9/11

A very non-predictable Morford this time. Mark takes Moore and the movie to task for some things, but comes to the conclusion that it's a good movie because of how it affects people.

Look. You can disagree with Moore's opinions and his often patronizing conclusions all you want. But you can't, after all, refute his facts. Moore's movie has done more than merely free up the pundits and the disgruntled military generals to speak out, or make timid reporters actually dig for truth again. He has done more than help put surprising words of dissent and criticism back into the mouths of congressmen and the major media.

He has, in short, made Middle America think again. He has cracked the GOP's frozen ideological sea, showed us all one thing that we have so desperately forgotten. That America does not, after all, have to be this way, and that its citizens do, in fact, have a choice.

Let America be America.
