Now Michael Moore "must" debate?

The students at the University of Nevada at Reno are being "squeezed" by alum who want to force a political debate between filmmaker Michael Moore and a Republican. First they tried to force the students to cancel Moore. That failed. Then they figured they could, without consulting Moore, force Moore into debating some unnamed Republican. The students refused to take the money the alum offered to entice the students into organizing and hosting the debate. Now the alum say they may stop contributing to the school as punishment.



I wonder how many of these alum watched the documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" from start to finish. Or did they do, as a number of Republicans have angrily informed me they did, refuse to see it simply because they claimed it would be unpatriotic, false, and un-American to see it? How can you say something is false when you have NO idea of the information and facts it contains? That is like not reading or watching the news and news magazines etc.



Are the students supposed to try to push Moore into the debate, or is Moore supposed to decide the debate this Republican (about what and for what purpose?) in order to rescue the students from being financially held hostage?



Do the alum think the student are not aware of Republican views and politics? Are they thinking their spokesperson/politician will be able to use the arena of a debate to try to discredit Michael Moore or just the facts in the recent documentary?
