George Mason Uni cancels Michael Moore appearance

[Almighty Colin]

George Mason University canceled plans to have Michael Moore speak on campus five days before the presidential election. The decision came after a Republican state legislator wrote a letter to the university president protesting the school's paying Moore $35,000. A school spokesman said they determined it wasn't the most appropriate use of public funds.

HAHA Not same comparison.

Former President = progagandist

Don't think so.

If Moore was smart, he would wave the fees and offer the talk for free.

I wouldn't be surprised if he does just that.
