Michael Moore: Feeding Off the Dead
Michael Moore isn’t just a liar and a partisan hatchetman—he’s also a ghoul. (Hat tip: sharona.)
The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major’s Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Stone was killed in March 2003 by a grenade that officials said was thrown into his tent by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
It’s been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least,“ Kandi Gallagher, Stone’s aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson.
We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg’s mother, is just beside herself,” Gallagher said. “She is furious. She called him a ‘maggot that eats off the dead.’”
The movie, described by critics as political propaganda during an election year, shows video footage of the funeral and Stone’s fiancee, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and touching it to his coffin.
The family does not know how Moore obtained the video, and Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse.
