Fortunately for Moore, his reputation as a lTrueful actavist for the common man precedes him.
Yet gullible sheep Listen to right wing claims of him being a lieing sack of shit.
Puzzling.

Right, as your article confirms, Bush didn't.

It's true, people leaving the movie think Michael Moore is an anchor from fox news.

Unfortunately for our country and our notions of free speech, his reputation as a lying sack of shit precedes him for reasons that can never be properly explained by anyone who holds this opinion. When questioned about the presupposed "lies", Moore's opponents usually burst into ad hominem attacks about his weight.
I haven't seen F911, nor will I pay to see it. I did see bowling for columbine, however. I also saw the brilliant editing, by Moore, which equates to a lie in my book. I can take five different posts of yours, tie a single line from each post together, and make you look like a total schmuck... or the next savior of the world... both of which would be lies. Context is everything... and Moore does his best to take things out of context to make his point...
I have never once attacked his weight. I haven't heard a single person that attacked Moores films make comments about his weight. The only people that seem concerned about his weight are the people that like him and seem to think that everybody else hates him because of his weight... sorry, weight has nothing to do with it... ethics have everything to do with it.
Finally, why does everybody have to be either a Moore Lover or a Bush Lover? I dislike both for very simliar reasons... they have identical ethics within their chosen occupation.

I guess Moore used trick photography and/or editing and/or lies to show Bush sitting stunned for 9 minutes (or whatever) as the Twin Towers burned. Well he was reading that captivating pet goat story... He must have also used ventriloquism when Bushes own words contradicted himself.

you'd be amazed at the camera trickery he's capable of!
I'm curious about specific examples of cheating via edits and/or ommitting contextual information...
anything specific, anyone?

No One knows what it was like unless you actually where and when all the shit went down. I'm not talking about living in Jersey... I don't live in manhattan...but in 1 of the 5 boroughs and it was fucking scary. Was Mr. Moore there at the time? If he was then he has a right to comment on his own feelings, otherwise.....well you all get my drift...you had to be there to understand it

Understand what? the september 11th attacks? First of all that makes up about 20% of what the movie is about. 2nd, If the war was waged against Hong kong would you chime in and say "you had to be there to understand?".
P.S- I know you wrote this just to let us all know that you are closer to the tragedy and therefore more informed than any of us as a whole about why the U.S is at war.

all I'm saying is this:
Osama bin laden gets people to follow him because those people are afraid of Bush.
Bush gets people to follow him because those people are afraid of Osama bin Laden.
They really have a nice arrangement worked out, don't they?
Osama and Bush have really done a lot for eachother, at least in terms of the psychological manipulation of their respective constituencies. I don't think either one would hold as much sway with that many people if it weren't for the other.
Although I will admit moore is a demagogue, I do believe he has much better motives than most of the people who also use his tactics (including many politicians of both left and right descent). However, your comment about moore didn't have anything to do with my comment about Bush and Osama's obvious butt buddy-ism.

If the enemy loves anyone its Bush not moore. Bush is a religious nut just like the so called enemy and he is exactly what they need to fire up their holly war and keep it going

I live in Queens. It was the most terrible day of my life. I still have nightmnares about it. We thought one of my cousins was dead for over 5 hours until she finally showed up. 2 guys I hung out with in high school did die. Both worked for Cantor Fitzgerald.

Absolute bullshit. Seriously. The stuff taken out of context was more for comedic value than anything I thought. It certainly doesn't change any of the facts at the basis of the film and nothing will. Did the Bush administration release an EDITED copy of W's military record with that other name blacked out (you know, the one with the guy who managed the Bin Laden's money or whatever). Did Bush sit there like a dumbass waiting for someone to tell him what to do on 9/11 or did he not? Moore himself called it "a bit of a comedy." So maybe he skillfully makes them look like retards, so what - is anyone here able to actually refute with evidence the factual claims the movie makes, rather than simply dismissing every aspect of it because of the slanted style? Of course not. So while plenty of evidence is plainly laid out for everyone to look at for yourselves, you refuse to, for reasons beyond me. And if you really don't like either of them, great, but I think the repurcussions of the actions of one of them seem a lot more negative to me. From your own point of view, wouldn't you rather have someone with the 'ethics' you speak of running around making movies instead of running a country?
Read this http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html Then tell me about how honest a guy MM is.

IMHO, Moore played it safe with this movie. There are soooo many things he could have gone into, but he focused only on the things that were public knowledge, and could be found by any credible source.
He doesn't even appear in this movie, it's all footage, most of it exclusive. It's basically a long documentary of Bush clips, with Michael Moore as narrator, so of course his opinions are all over the place, but he doesn't make any kinds of outrageous claims, only asks why no one else was asking the president about some of this stuff.
