Most of the emails that oppose the film are indeed literate and civil - but a good number are not. Below is a very small sampling of the over 5000 e-mails that have been sent to numerous movie theatre chains nationwide with regards to the showing of Michael Moore’s documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. I have cherry picked the illiterate, the particularly angry (or mad) and a few that argue from an interesting point.
[I have withheld the complete names since none of these were written necessarily to be published].

RE: DON'T BE ANTI-AMERICAN!!!
Showing Michael Moor's anti-American political ad would be the same as you standing on top of the theater and burning the American flag for all your customers to see! Please don't do it!
Sincerely,

RE: STOP MOORE'S Fahrenheit 9/11
This movie is a bunch of liberal anti-American propaganda and is a slap in the face to all of the men and women who have given their lives so that we can enjoy freedom. Showing this film is tantamount to supporting al-qaeda.

I can't believe you would promote a movie that bashes the war on terrorism. War might not be pretty but it is necessary to keep the rights and freedoms of all americans. I would love nothing more then to have all our fallen soilders returned to us but they fought for our rights. Trust me! If a plane crashed in the middle of your theaters with loved family members relaxing watching a movie, you might think differently about what we are doing over in Iraq. It is to stop these ruthless people who wouldn't think twice about your life or mine and frankly I want to feel safe in my own country. I promise that if this movie is aloud to be released at your theaters, myself and the rest of my family ammediate and exteded will never set foot to watch one of your movies again..This movie is unamerican and it offends me as an american. Mr Moore should be beheaded not the innocent americans that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...Shame on you for promoted this!!!!!

RE: Fahrenheit Zero money for you
Push this film, and I will stop going to your theatres. So will my friends. It's that simple. You're supposed to be providing entertainment, not advancing a political agenda.
Moore's film is not protected by the First Amendment, because it's sole purpose is to promote the Democratic Party agenda. You should be required to report your support of this film as a financial contribution to a political campaign.

Hello;
I am an American consumer and I simply want to encourage you to keep Michael Moore's film out of your theater. The theater is not a place for politics.
Thank you,

Many years ago a man named Hitler produced films blaming and scapegoating an entire people, the Jewish people. His films were vehicles of Nazi propaganda and the campaign worked for two reasons: The other side of the story was never told, and the films were full half truths, stereotypes and lies created to turn people against people and perpetrate hate. What followed was the near annihilation of the Jewish race.
Hitler had a small team of people who thought as he did, who had money to sidestep the rules and or ethics and with their tiny team of hate they almost changed the world into a ball of hate where anyone who did not fit Hitler's idea of right and wrong would be killed. You are a willing participant in Michael Moore's tiny team of hate and in the same tactics of propaganda created by the Nazi's hierarchy.
Regardless of how you feel about the President's current positions, do you think it is fair to propagandize the public with one man's, one-sided view?
Is this a Democracy or the world according to Michael Moore? Do you think it is right to launch a propaganda campaign claiming to tell the truth when it is politically motivated by only a handful of wealthy people with an agenda of hate. Do we know anything about Michael Moore, is he a serial kiiler, pedafile, lover of opera or decent man? Who knows? How dangerous is the message when we do not know the messenger.
Ask yourself, if you were a non-Jew and the Nazi's ask you to turn in a Jew in the neighborhood, would you have the guts to say NO, or would you too have been brainwashed by their films of propoganda and hate the Jews because Hitler told you to.
Say NO Moore and fight for what is fair, just and right.
Respectfully,

Since we are the customers of the American movie theatres it is important for us to speak up loudly and tell the you industry executives that we don’t want this misleading and grotesque movie being shown at our local cinema.
Lately he has been sporting a "Hitler" like mustache. Take that into consideration of what frame of mine he is in.
Please do NOT aide Michael Moore like he is giving aide and comfort to the terrorist that only want to kill ALL who live in America.
Cordially,
