Moore is at it again (lying as usual)

Irredeemably lame or not (I in fact think it is, I always hated those parts of his shows), it proves that (some of) the people who bash Moore's films for being full of lies have no problem making things up to attack Moore himself.

Well, if it was a crime to tell lame jokes, the president of the USA would be in prison...

I don't think it's that lame considering the chickenhawks in charge. Whatever one may think of Kerry, you can't call him a coward.

[Drake Tungsten]

It very much is lame to confront people and ask them to do something they can't possibly do, then act as if you scored some sort of points off them when they refuse to do that which they didn't have the ability to do in the first place.

OMG! FDR didn't fight in WW2, nor was his son there! CHICKENHAWK!! FDR lacked courage! OMG! OMG!

[Kropotkin]

Yeah, Imran's right! Old men with poolio should have been in the first line at Omaha beach!

[Drake Tungsten]

You have a point, Imran. FDR, if he had had any courage, would've spent all the money he wasted on the Manhattan Project developing an advanced type of "battle-chair" that would've allowed him to take the fight to the Nazis himself. The yellow-bellied bastard...

[Agathon]

FDR was disabled and could hardly walk. I think that counts as a reasonable excuse for not drafting him.

And why can't congressmen encourage their children to join the military?

[GePap]

Moore is a populist, and the charge that the rich or those in power send people off to die in war without sharingh the risk anymore has been around since at least the Civil War.

It's not a new stun, but one that still carries weight with populist elements in the country.

They can encourage their children to join the military. They can't sign them up, however, which is what Moore asks them to do in the film, unless I'm mistaken.

on CNN, I saw that F9-11 broke records in 2 New York theatres on an early release on Wednesday...



it will be a great movie, and Moore critics won't offer much in the way of counter-arguments (as usual) because they are mental midgets... It's tough to fight facts, and righties don't have any to work with so they resort to attacks on the man's weight.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing it tomorrow. And if there's a God, Moore's movie will help some people make up their mind about this election. While a great many people have already made up their minds about this who they will vote for, there are a number of people on the fence who will no doubt cast a vote against Bush after watching the truth in this movie.

God bless Michael Moore... a true American hero.

Michael Moore is a filmmaker who distorts the truth, telling half-truths and outright lies to change the opinions of those viewing his films. I recognize BS on both sides of the spectrum, and Moore is full of it.

to people like Sava who believe the guy

telling half-truths and outright lies

blah blah blah... your sardonic blather is tiresome... present some "lies"... you alway bash Moore, but can't bring yourself to cite ONE THING that Moore has asserted that is untrue. I believe Moore because I read a lot and find his claims are corroborated by fact and truth. When Moore starts propagating something that isn't supported by the facts, then I will start to question him. Until then, I at the pathetic and empty words of mouth-breathing Moore haters.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Verto, yep, that is why Moore is simply the Limbaugh of the Left.
