The Disney Corporation has announced that they are about to release a
"patriotic" film this week titled "America's Heart and Soul."
Disney insists that this is in no way an answer to Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11.
The timing seems just a little more than coincidental. Releasing the film "had
nothing to do with Farenheit 9/11, and there is no link at all between the two
movies," a Disney executive said.
But it is tough to believe those remarks, when Disney refused to release Moore's
film, reportedly after the White House pressured them not to release it,
reminding Disney that they had extensive business enterprises in Florida, hinting
that the company could lose some tax statuses.
So now the stage is set for Republicans to embrace this new movie and use it as
a "patriotic answer" to Moore's "unamerican president bashing" movie.
"America's Heart and Soul" reveals a series of vignettes that show a variety of
Americans pursuing their passions. Howard Kaloogian, the man who spearheaded
his right wing organization's unsuccessful boycott campaign against Moore is
already trying to drum up support for the new release.
