Two wrongs...
Posted by Jon Henke

Thinking of seeing Michael Moore's lie-fest, Fahrenheit 9/11, but don't like the thought of putting money into Moore's rather large pockets (and from there, no doubt, into Moveon.org or some other organization allied with the Kerry presidential campaign)? Here's a suggestion: Buy a ticket to a different movie, and see Fahrenheit 9/11 instead.

Michael Moore is willing to deceive in order to combat the Bush administration, whom he regards as liars. That, I think we can agree, is wrong.

If that's wrong, then it's every bit as wrong to not only lie to avoid paying Michael Moore, but to actually commit theft towards that end. It's wrong, and bloggers who recommend that practice sacrifice their principles in doing so.

(Note: No, it's not excused by the fact that Michael Moore encourages that theft. It's not entirely his property to give away)
