Judy R says: 'Moore said backstage to the press something like, "I know you guys'll all write about the chorus of boos, but there were about five boos, and the rest were cheers..."'
What MM said: "Don't report that there was a split decision in the hall because five loud people booed. Those were all my friends and relatives. Hollywood's got such a bad rap for being left-wing Democrats, I thought it would be really cool if a bunch of them booed to show a diversity of opinion."
Peg says:"many Americans admire his work on behalf of the working class."
What Entertainment Weekly reported: Among those booing Moore's speech were the production's stagehands, one of whom angrily confronted the filmmaker backstage, according to the Times.
A Class Act: ''Chicago'' producer and Best Picture winner Martin Richards said that, though stars like Colin Farrell wore the peace pin, he wasn't interested. ''I have a pin that says peace, and it's in my heart,'' Richards said. ''I wouldn't wear the peace pin because I wouldn't want any soldier to see me wearing it and think it's about him. I made that mistake with Vietnam, and I regret how that may have made the men who fought over there feel. But I do hope there is peace. I do want this war to be over.''
Personally, I find Moore very entertaining. I find Rush entertaining in exactly the same way. They are both so far to one side, that they can not see the possibility for a middle ground. Standing somewhere in the middle, both look pretty out of touch. Peace, Blues
