I have to get some work done, but this is just too good to pass up. Every once in a while I just have to post a feel-good story.

Michael Moore, who has become enormously wealthy with what he calls documentaries, twisting and rearranging facts, quotes, photos, etc for his own aggrandizement, is being sued by a mere American Soldier.

Of all things, An American Soldier!!! That is just such sweet justice.

I have no idea what the Soldier’s chances are against the mega-millions Michael Moore can throw into legal fees. Isn’t that ironic? Michael Moore who proclaims himself the champion of the little man is anything BUT a little man himself.

A double-amputee Iraq-war vet is suing Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming the portly peacenik recycled an old interview and used it out of context to make him appear anti-war in “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, which trashes President Bush.

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 vets. “They took the clip because it was a gut-wrenching scene,” Damon said yesterday. “They sandwiched it in. [Moore] was using me as ammunition.”

Damon seems to “voice complaint about the war effort” in the movie, according to the lawsuit.

But what the father of two from Middleborough, Mass., was really talking about was the “excruciating” pain he felt after he lost his arms when a Black Hawk helicopter exploded in front of him. Damon wasn’t expressing any opinion about the war, the suit charges, but rather extolling the drug.

“I just want everybody to know what kind of a guy Michael Moore is, and what kind of film this is,” said Damon. He has appeared in two films attacking “Fahrenheit” -“Michael Moore Hates America” and “Fahrenhype 9/11.” …

Particularly outrageous to Damon is the fact that Moore never interviewed him or asked his permission to use the old clip.

I hope this gets media attention, if for no other reason than giving this Soldier the opportunity to regain his reputation, his dignity and his honor.

It would also be pretty nice if Moore got to share some of his wealth. Since he advocates so sincerely for socialism I think he should have the opportunity to put his enormous money where his enormous mouth is.

The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy’. They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow - and they will win.
