Comments on: Stolen Honor: the Moon Connection http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2004/10/12/stolen-honor-the-moon-connection/ Rory O'Connor's blog Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:19:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: galld http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2004/10/12/stolen-honor-the-moon-connection/#comment-168 Mon, 18 Oct 2004 21:13:17 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2004/10/12/stolen-honor-the-moon-connection/#comment-168 And everyone should pay strict attention to the alien abduction stories. The Swiftboatvets are a bunch of lame Nixon hacks who've been hanging around for thirty years waiting for something to do. Read the book, written by a Nixon droid and a raving anti-Catholic. People with as little credibility as that should be mocked and ignored since they are living in a universe not known to the rational. I try my best.

Good one, Tom. But seriously --getting back to "intelligent discussion"-- you make some interesting points... nothing that should be so easily derailed by galld's quips. I'm not sure however I completely understand your distinction between authenticity and accuracy when applied to Stolen Honor. Do you really think "attacks on Sinclair are just about the messenger"? Overall I applaud your call for inquiry -- after all, how many of us spattering our opinions across the blogosphere have seen the film? And despite analyses like <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200410140001">this one</a> are there not many among the left that would look the other way from a hypothetical (try fantasy world) mandated broadcast of F911, which as you point out contains its own distortions? Doh! Good one, Tom. But seriously –getting back to “intelligent discussion”– you make some interesting points… nothing that should be so easily derailed by galld’s quips.

By the way, just because we have anonymity, and the postings are disagreeable to you, does not presume my statements are from the right wing. Unless, thai is, you're talking about the "right wing" of the IQ scale, with which you may not be quite as familiar.

Hence, we have to rely on your missive for facts, of which there are none. My use of the word "silly" was meant to be complimentary. Have you cleaned your sheets as of late?
