You're misquoting yourself.

Your post that I linked in my post:

The mouse ... chicken? The Walt Disney Company is trying to stop Miramax, which it owns, from distributing Michael Moore's new film, "Farenheit 911," which links President Bush to prominent Saudis, including members of Osama bin Laden's family. Moore's agent claims that Disney is concerned about the effect distributing the movie might have on tax breaks it enjoys for its theme park and hotels in Florida, where Jeb Bush is governor. Disney says it's rather concerned about alienating the public by involving itself in, what a senior executive calls a "highly charged partisan political battle." (N.Y. Times) In a note on his Web site, Moore says, "All I can say is, thank God for Harvey Weinstein and Miramax who have stood by me during the entire production of this movie." (MichaelMoore.com)

Your post to me just now:

Don't misquote me, Jeb Bush is the one pressuring Disney because of Florida state tax breaks. But this attempt to censor will just make the film more popular, same as "Passion Of Christ" except on a political level.

You have interesting thought processes.

You post initially that Moore's agent is claiming interference by Jeb Bush (not surprising, given Michael Moore's agenda), then you post as a fact that Jeb Bush is the one pressuring Disney because of Florida state tax breaks.

The foregoing offers an interesting glance into how you twist the facts and spit them back out as gospel truth.

You lead a rich fantasy life, that's all I can say.
