Antiwar messages are bubbling in the public consciousness, and singer LINDA RONSTADT is making headlines. Has someone opened a door to the 1970s? During an encore at the Aladdin hotel in Las Vegas, Ronstadt called Fahrenheit 9/11 filmmaker Michael Moore a "great American patriot" and dedicated her rendition of the Eagles' Desperado to him. Some of the 4,500 audience members got so mad that they stormed out of the theater and demanded their money back. Others reportedly threw cocktails and defaced Ronstadt's concert posters. Some cheered and applauded. Hotel management responded by booting Ronstadt off the premises...
Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 is not just the politics of entertainment or the entertainment of politics [July 12]. For those who have been assimilating information and connecting the dots since George W. Bush took office, Moore simply lays it all out--the whole picture--which is something that our main media have been too gutless to do. Nothing Moore points out is a surprise.

Moore's movie is a mirror image of the very truth-twisting tactics that he decries, proving that you can fool some of the people some of the time by pushing all the right buttons. Moore so deftly exploits class envy, ignorance, emotionalism, gullibility and victimhood that Fahrenheit 9/11 might just as well have been called Marketing 101. ROSALIE GRAHAM SZILAGYI Louisville...
What is all the silliness in response to the long-overdue anti-Republican propaganda in Fahrenheit 9/11? Fox News unabashedly spews anti-Democratic invective daily, so why the deep concern about one movie? Right-wingers dish it out with impunity, but they are certainly whining about Moore's response. The world beyond U.S. borders recognizes the transparent absurdity of this redneck posturing. At least half of all Americans undoubtedly cringe at the loss of respect and dignity the U.S. suffers on the global stage because of the embarrassingly blind arrogance of its political right. At home Moore...
