Moore Foes Offer F9/11 DVD Swap

The latest news from the Bizarro Universe!

I'll never understand the mental twists it takes to remain loyal to someone like Bush, but now I'm even beginning to believe that it is actually a form of dementia. I would have missed this article if a Google search hadn't ended up with me getting literally highjacked over to the notorious Free Republic site where true believers were seriously discussing a story from the Toronto Star.
The original article begins the story with tongue firmly in cheek:

A right-wing American publisher is trying to save the world from Michael Moore, one DVD at a time.
California-based World Ahead Publishing is offering to exchange copies of Moore's controversial film, Fahrenheit 9/11, which comes out on DVD on Oct. 5, for a copy of its latest book, Thank You President Bush: Reflections on the War on Terror, Defense of the Family, and Revival of the Economy. "In urban areas, city leaders periodically sponsor gun `buy-back' programs to help reduce gun violence," the publishing company said in a release leaked to the Star last night. "Similarly, the Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD Buy-Back program is designed to protect Americans from harm, especially young children who might accidentally slip this dangerous propaganda into the living room DVD player.

However the "freepers" were literally plotting out an action plan to facilitate the trade-ins. They rationalized that no one would really want to see this "propaganda" at home, since they only went to see it in the first place to "fit in" as liberals. And why wouldn't everyone want a book about the glories of Bush instead? They see only one reason: "Unfortunately, a lot of scum bag leftists will buy the DVD to show their kids and their kids friends."

Are they really living in the Bizarro Universe? Or is their fear driving them mad?

The original story is at The Toronto Star. If you're looking for the freepers, you'll have to find them yourself.
