GI Sues Michael Moore for $85 Million

[GeorgeSSSS]

Friends: I got this from the NewsMax website:

A double-amputee veteran of the Iraq war is suing filmmaker Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming Moore used an old interview with the G.I. to make him appear anti-war in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, who strongly supports America's invasion of Iraq, said he never agreed to be in the 2004 movie. Damon lost his arms when a Black Hawk helicopter exploded in front of him.

In the 2003 interview, which he did at Walter Reed Army Hospital for NBC News, he discussed only a new painkiller the military was using on wounded veterans, the New York Post reports.

"They took the clip because it was a gut-wrenching scene," Damon said. "They sandwiched it in. [Moore] was using me as ammunition." According to the lawsuit filed in Suffolk County, Mass., Damon seems to "voice a complaint about the war effort" in the movie. But he told the Post: "I was complaining about the pain I would've been having [if it weren't for the painkiller].”

Newsman Brian Williams ends the NBC clip by adding, "These men with catastrophic wounds are . . . completely behind the war effort," according to the lawsuit. That part wasn't shown in the Moore movie.

Damon’s lawyer Dennis Lynch said he delayed filing the lawsuit in a bid to settle the matter with Moore. "We attempted to resolve the situation amicably with Mr. Moore [for a year] but he refused," he said.

Damon is asking for up to $75 million because of "loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation."

George SSSS comment: I would call Moore scum, but that would be unfair to scum. I hope my fellow vet collects every dime with interest.

I watched that on Fox News today. I hope the guy rakes MM over the coals. That is one person I would love to see dying of thirst someday, just so I could pee on him.

i wish the soldier much luck. fattenhype 911 was a hugely dissapointing effort from an otherwise entertaining slantumentarist. Ultimately, i think it probably worked in Bush's favor.

i recommend the M. Moore scenes from Team America, pretty funny.
