Michael Moore Sued by Wounded Vet

Filed under: Looney Left by Chad at 1:30 pm CDT

I can’t so I’m too surprised.

A double-amputee Iraq-war vet is suing Michael Moore for $85 million, claiming the portly peacenik recycled an old interview and used it out of context to make him appear anti-war in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, who strongly supports America’s invasion of Iraq, said he never agreed to be in the 2004 movie, which trashes President Bush.

In the 2003 interview, which he did at Walter Reed Army Hospital for NBC News, he discussed only a new painkiller the military was using on wounded vets.

“They took the clip because it was a gut-wrenching scene,” Damon said yesterday. “They sandwiched it in. [Moore] was using me as ammunition.” (source)

I can’t tell if this is the same soldier who was in the documentary Fahrenhype 911. There are similarities in appearences between the two, but Damon has a beard and has either put on a lot of weight or it’s just not the same soldier. Both were double amputees and both were used in Michael Moore’s film without permission, supported the war in Iraq and didn’t like being used as puppets. It appears Moore might finally catch his comeuppance.
