Yesterday evening 110 people met to discuss Fahrenheit 9/11 at UICA as part of a Moveon.org meet-up. The group listened to live comments from Michael Moore and a Moveon.org spokesperson. Afterward, the group discussion took place. While the group was united in their opposition to the policies of the Bush administration, views on how best to respond to the actions of the Bush administration varied. While almost everyone in attendance answered affirmatively to the question would you like to see John Kerry take a stronger stance against the Iraq war, many of the group seemed unwilling to engage in a constructive dialogue on how to achieve this. Rather, many in attendance advocated a strong anyone but Bush stance and propogated the view that a vote for a third party was a de-facto vote for Bush.
