I just had a brief but interesting conversation with my dad (who we'll call "BD" here). Here's my recollection:
BD: Do you want to see "Fahrenheit 9/11?"
CD: Phht. There's already a website that's found about 20 false claims in that movie.
BD: Yeah, you'd probably come out of there mad anyway.
CD: Actually, I'd probably beat up the people cheering at the end.
BD: Oh. You should wait until it comes out on video.
I'm also a right-wing nut in everyday life. Heh.
FOOTNOTES
- This wasn't exactly verbatim
- My dad is a Republican, but he pretty much thinks Bush and Kerry are both incompetent. I think he's voting for Nader.
