he was very loose with the truth in that documentary as well, and some of it was downright lies. Having him so prominent at the Democratic National Convention last time around....I think that really hurt the Democrats more than they know. Not every liberal is in lockstep and they know when they are being highjacked. And they also know that Michael Moore has Michael Moore's interests at heart and he could care freaking less about "the little people." He has said how many times he should move to Canada and anyone who goes to a foreign nation and trashes his own country to audiences...well, I would help him back and Canada is darn sure welcome to him. He lauds the socialized medicine in Cuba...is that why Castro had a surgeon flown in from Spain to do his surgery??? LOL. This man is a joke.

Marine in Fahrenheit 9/11 has died in Iraq...sm
May he rest in peace.
DETROIT - A Marine and one-time recruiter who appeared in Michael Moore's documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11 has died in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
Staff Sgt. Raymond J. Plouhar, 30, died Monday of wounds suffered while conducting combat operations in Iraq's volatile Anbar province, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
Plouhar, who was stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif., had taken four years off from active duty to serve as a recruiter in Flint after donating one of his kidneys to his uncle. He is seen in the 2004 film approaching prospective recruits in a mall parking lot.
It's better to get them when they're in ones and twos and work on them that way, he says in the film.
Although Plouhar willingly appeared in the movie, which is critical of the Bush administration's actions after Sept. 11, his father said Plouhar didn't realize it would criticize the war.
I'm proud that my son wanted to protect the freedom of this country whether we all agree with the war or not, he said.
Plouhar grew up in Lake Orion, about 30 miles north of Detroit.
He is survived by a wife and two children, ages 5 and 9. They live in Arizona.
