Moore sued by Iraqi war veteran for lying in mockumentary

Mikie “Jabba the Hutt” Moore pleased throngs of moonbats worldwide with his paranoia-filled lie-ridden mockumentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Reams of information has since been released showing where Moore was, shall we say, less than honest.

Enter Sgt. Peter Damon. Moore shamelessly attempted to portray him as anti-war in the film, despite the inconvenient fact that Damon is nothing of the sort. He’s fighting mad, and he’s going after the portly producer for damages. From The State:

A veteran who lost both arms in the war in Iraq is suing filmmaker Michael Moore for $85 million, alleging that Moore used snippets of a television interview without his permission to falsely portray him as anti-war in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Sgt. Peter Damon, a National Guardsman from Middleborough, is asking for damages because of “loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation,” according to the lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court last week.

Damon, 33, claims that Moore never asked for his consent to use a clip from an interview Damon did with NBC’s “Nightly News.”

He lost his arms when a tire on a Black Hawk helicopter exploded while he and another reservist were servicing the aircraft on the ground. Another reservist was killed in the explosion.

In his interview with NBC, Damon was asked about a new painkiller the military was using on wounded veterans. He claims in his lawsuit that the way Moore used the film clip in “Fahrenheit 9/11″ – Moore’s scathing 2004 documentary criticizing the Bush administration and the war in Iraq – makes him appear to “voice a complaint about the war effort” when he was actually complaining about “the excruciating type of pain” that comes with the injury he suffered.

In the movie, Damon is shown lying on a gurney, with his wounds bandaged. He says he feels likes he’s “being crushed in a vise.”

“But they (the painkillers) do a lot to help it,” he says. “And they take a lot of the edge off of it.”

Damon is shown shortly after U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., is speaking about the Bush administration and says, “You know, they say they’re not leaving any veterans behind, but they’re leaving all kinds of veterans behind.”

Damon contends that Moore’s positioning of the clip just after the congressman’s comments makes him appear as if he feels like he was “left behind” by the Bush administration and the military.

In his lawsuit, Damon says he “agrees with and supports the President and the United States’ war effort, and he was not left behind.“
…
“The work creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication as a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, by the active assistance of the President, the United States and his family, friends, acquaintances and community,” Damon says in his lawsuit.
…
“It’s upsetting to him because he’s lived his life supportive of his government, he’s been a patriot, he’s been a soldier, and he’s now being portrayed in a movie that is the antithesis of all of that,” Damon’s lawyer, Dennis Lynch, said.

Wow…$85 million? That’s a lot of Whoppers, Mikie…though not nearly as many whoppers as you told in your flick.

But hey…Mikie and his ilk “support the troops”, right?

As usual, Dems’ loss is really a win in disguise

Whenever Democrats lose these days, they claim that their loss was a “moral victory” of some sort, as if moral victories translate to picking up seats in elected office. Recall the Ohio moonbat Paul Hackett, who “narrowly” lost a House election to Jean Schmidt in her GOP-heavy district?

Listening to Deanics across the nation, you’d have thought that Hackett really won. Hackett was instantly a left and MSM (pardon the redundancy) darling, crowned the unofficial rising star in the Democrap party. His future was so bright that he…lost in the U.S. Senate primary to fellow moonbat Sherrod Brown. So much for that star, huh? He burned out faster than Bill Clinton after his honeymoon with Hillary.

Well, the left is at it again. Observe:

Next Tuesday, voters in the San Diego area will head to the polls in a special election to replace Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, a Republican who is serving time in prison for bribery.

Democrats say no matter what happens, they’ve won – because Democrat candidate Francine Busby “has put Republicans on the ropes in a district they bragged was theirs for the taking.”

In an email message to supporters, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said that Democrats are setting the tone in a majority Republican district — “forcing Republicans to frantically spend millions of dollars to defend themselves.”

And no matter what happens next Tuesday, “If Francine even comes close, Democrats will send a wave of panic through Republicans everywhere,” the DCCC said.

A “wave of panic”? Of course…”look at us, we keep losing! Watch out, you bastard Republicans! We’re on a roll!” If Republicans have to “frantically spend millions of dollars”, does it matter that they have millions of dollars to spend that Dean has been unable to raise for the Democraps?

This part is rich:

It said it is targeting Republican districts across the country, and that includes running advertisements on Christian radio stations “holding Republicans feet to the fire for trying to privatize Social Security.”

Rumor has it that one of their advisors told them that about 90% of the people in America believed in that “God” fellow, and that it might be a good idea to try and reason with them. Fortunately for the Dems, they didn’t have Dean opening his mouth and insulting them like he usually does.

To quote the late Dale Earnhart: “Second place is the first loser.” In the warped minds of Democraps, it’s a win. That must be a new form of affirmative action for the left: extra points for losing. Fortunately, elections aren’t graded on a curve.

Corruption: More in common?

Hat tip to Lee for passing this on. No doubt certain visitors will fail to catch the punch line.

But I thought it was only the GOP who was corrupt?
