Fahrenheit 9/11

Kevin Drum concludes...

So is Fahrenheit 9/11 unfair, full of innuendo and cheap shots, and guilty of specious arguments? Sure. But that just makes it the perfect complement to the arguments of many in the pro-war crowd itself. Perhaps the reason they're so mad is that they see more than a little of themselves in it.


And he's absolutely right. Thinking people who view the film will easily see the innuendo and cheap shots and the propaganda. It's not hidden by any stretch of the imagination. And I imagine that the people most upset about it are the ones who champion right wing propaganda. Using propaganda to combat propaganda is using their own weapon against them.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
