Any time a book or movie comes out that attacks the President or conservatives it manages to get a lot of attention. The attacked only have themselves to blame. Like with O'Reilly getting Fox to sue Al Franken over his book Lies, and the Lying Liars That Tell Them. Thanks to that attention, Franken's book shot up to the top of the best-seller list. Same goes for Michael Moore's latest flick. When will conservatives learn that drawing attention to something they dislike will only work against their cause?
Conservative action against advertising for Fahrenheit 9/11, which sought to ban marketing on the grounds that it would violate FEC rules, was beaten back yesterday.
LOS ANGELES - A U.S. regulatory agency has dismissed the petition of a conservative advocacy group to bar TV ads for Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” documentary as a breach of federal restrictions on “electioneering” activity.In a unanimous decision made public Thursday, the Federal Election Commission found no evidence that the movie’s ads had broken the law or that distributors of the film intended any violations in the future.
As if it really matters now, considering F9/11 has made $142,003,294 worldwide, and still growing. Just a tip for the conservatives though. Next time something comes out that you don't like, try not giving it free attention in the media.
