MICHAEL MOORE'S TERRORIST ACT



Michael Moore's web site posted a shocking video clip showing the murder and
beheading of Mickey Mouse, beloved American icon and the chief spokesrodent
for the Disney Company.

The 9 minute video consists of two segments and -- typical of Moore -- is of
very poor quality. The first segment shows a distraught mouse sitting
handcuffed on the floor against a blank wall. With very little emotion, he
identifies himself and details of his provenance:

"My name is Mickey Mouse. I was born in 1927 in "Steamboat Willy". I have a
fiancee named Minnie and my father is Walt Disney. For the last 77 years,
I've lived in Buena Vista, California."

The video is edited at this point, and the second segment shows the mouse
surrounded by 6 hooded men. The gigantic fat man in the center -- wearing a
baseball cap over his black hood -- reads a prepared statement for the
camera:

"This is retribution for the refusal of the Disney Company to distribute my
new film "Fahrenheit 911". This facist capitalist corporate conglomerate has
disregarded the laws of contractual business agreements and succumbed to
pressure from Right-Wing conservatives in a blatant attempt to censor my
free speech. As patriotic freedom fighters, we will not tolerate the abuse
and humiliation of the Second Amendment."

At the end of his statement, the obese hooded baseball cap wearing man takes
out a large animated knife, cuts off Mickey's head, and then holds it up by
the large round ears for the camera.

All major news outlets, from print to television, have refused to show still
photo screen-captures or the video for the American public, saying that the
images are too disturbing for public consumption. This refusal to publish a
terrorist act committed against an American has prompted Right-Wing
commentators to express outrage at the politicization of news editing,
charging that the "liberal media" is practicing their own form of
anti-American censorship.

This morning on his daily radio program, Right-Wing host Rush Limbaugh
ranted against this partisan political stance relative to the refusal to air
the controversial video:

Limbaugh: They didn't balk at showing a photos of the high school-like
hazing of a few terrorists at Abu Ghraib prison, but they refuse to allow
the American public to witness a heinous, bloodthirsty terrorist act
committed by one of their beloved liberals. They're afraid that showing the
torture and abuse of an animated American icon will encourage more support
for President Bush and his ongoing fight against terrorism. I say let the
American people see just what our liberal enemies are capable of -- what an
evil, homicidal bunch of Left-Wing liberal pinko pansies will do to dishonor
our nation. They're nothing more than animals, and this video is an explicit
demonstration of the barbaric nature of the liberal left."

The last time Mickey Mouse was humiliated in public was in the mid-60s, when
left-wing liberal homosexual artist Andy Warhol requisitioned his image for
one of his demented, perverted silkscreen art works.
