Injured Vet Sues Michael Moore For $85 Million WBZ TV Boston ^ \| 05/31/06 \| CBS4Boston cbs4boston.com (CBS4) MIDDLEBORO A local veteran who lost parts of both of his arms in Iraq, is suing filmmaker Michael Moore. Sgt. Peter Damon says Moore recycled old news footage of Damon, and used it in a way that made him seem anti-war. The snip-it appears in Moore’s film "Fahrenheit 9/11." Sgt. Peter Damon, a father of two from Middleboro, strongly supports the war effort in Iraq and never agreed to appear in Moore’s movie. According to the New York Post, he is now suing for $85 million. Damon was interviewed by NBC in 2003 while being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital. The interview was about a new painkiller being used on injured soldiers. Damon says he did not express any views on the war itself in that interview. Michael Moore used a clip from that interview in "Fahrenheit 9/11." It shows Damon lying on a gurney, saying he feels like he’s being "crushed in a vice." The scene appears in a sequence that talks about how the government is abandoning veterans. You may recall Peter Damon threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park after returning home to Middleboro. The non-profit group Homes For Our Troops also built a home for the Damon family, specially designed for Peter’s physical needs. The NY Post says the lawsuit also names NBC, Miramax, and other production companies.

Re: "...so upset" Hilarious! I'm about the least 'excitable' person you will ever know, got some of the lowest blood pressure around. :-) Must be projecting YOUR emotional state onto others! Imagining that everyone gets all worked up and 'upset' over little trivial things like you seem to. Smile sometime, why don't 'cha? You might LIKE it! :-) Re: "that he made the irrational comment about my name?" You mean about your pseudonym? Well, OK, I'll bite... what's supposed to be 'irrational' about the comment???????? ------------------------- Here it is again. I guess this is the 'comment' you are referring to, but you never pointed specifically to anything, so I'm guessing on that: 'PS --- I find it humorous [interesting, instructive, etc.] that you willingly adopt a pseudonym ['tonto'] so replete with sad overtones from a bygone era of racism... while getting your panties all in a bunch, and acting mortified when that same pseudonym is transmogrified by the dropping of just one letter into another well-known cultural referent: a cute little loyal doggie from the movies. What's that about, I wonder?' Message 22498451 -------------------------- Seems perfectly 'rational' to me... doesn't mean you have to agree with it, of course, OR find it funny in the least. Perhaps you can explain what's supposed to be 'irrational' about it though? Re: "...what a childish and stupid post." Well, everyone is entitled to their opinions, YOU INCLUDED, of course. (Even if you do get awfully worked-up about them sometimes. <G>) So, when you state something that is clearly a personal opinion (not an assertion that requires facts not in evidence, or some other not-yet-established claim of facts), I have ABSOLUTELY no problems with that. It's a largely free world, and you are entitled to your artistic impressions and value judgements, same as everyone else! Enjoy, I do!
