John McCain took a shot at filmmaker Michael Moore in his speech to the Republican National Convention Monday night, he had no reason to know that the man who made the controversial documentary &#8220;Fahrenheit 9\/11&#8221; was just a few hundred feet away from him. &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Moore is attending the convention on an assignment from USA Today, which has asked him to write a column about the gathering that will re-nominate two of his favorite targets, President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Diane Francis, a Texas Republican decked out in full jean shirt and cowboy hat regalia, grumbled about Moore&#8217;s film and said, &#8220;I hope he&#8217;s got security. He could get killed in here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Moore insisted he did not feel threatened. &#8220;I saw (conservative commentator) Sean Hannity on the floor at the Democratic convention. He was treated well. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll treat me well here. You don&#8217;t think the Republicans are more mean-spirited than the Democrats, do you?&#8221; Moore asked, barely concealing a grin.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, he said, &#8220;this is a celebration. I&#8217;m here to celebrate the fact that the Republicans only have a couple of months left. I&#8217;m here to celebrate the end of the Republican era. They&#8217;ve had four years. It&#8217;s been rough, but it&#8217;s almost over.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Moore adds spice to convention as GOP annoyance By John Nichols, The Capital Times When Sen.
