Moore to say


How ironic that Michael Moore has been invited to speak at Utah Valley State College instead of the University of Utah, where free speech and free thinking are encouraged. The true irony is that right-wing Republicans use the “freedom” issue daily in support of the never-ending war in Iraq, and yet are threatened by the actual use of freedom of speech, the press, etc.
   In a state controlled almost completely by one party and one religion, why is there such fear of a different point of view? Maybe freedom is only supposed to be a slogan for war, as in   “Freedom doesn’t come free.” Maybe we aren’t supposed to consider it a right. Maybe there isn’t much difference between those we are fighting and ourselves.
   I have not seen “Fahrenheit 9/11,” yet I take interest in Stan Lockhart’s comments that “Michael Moore has slandered the president in every way possible and here they are bringing him to speak two weeks before the election. It’s regrettable that they use it for political purposes” (Tribune, Sept. 15).
   Really. So, it’s OK to slander a president if he’s a Democrat, but not if he’s a Republican?   And, in Mormon Republican-dominated Utah, does a visit from Michael Moore or anyone else make any political difference?
