Try this
http://slate.msn.com/id/2102723/
and another
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39079
Keep admiring this guy. He obviously has no problem with the actions of Hezbollah. I guess he has no problem with organizations that want to kill every Jew on the planet.
I read both of those articals neither one of them said he or his fim were in acurate. The first one *implied* the film was untruthful with the quote "To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability."
In the second artical also does not prove anything moore stated to be false eaither. Both articals are opinion and not factual. Try again!
Sir, if you have ever taken the time to read his books or watch his movies you will be able to easily back up the fact by simply searching google. I'll admit I have not taken the time to do that will all his works but I did fact check about 90% of Stupid White Men

exactly, no one seems to be able to show me where his facts or claims are off.
the best I've seen is some griping about editing the NRA rallies to seem exponentially more menacing than they are....

kotik said: 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.
I also believe this movie is all fact because Number one its released in an election year critizing our current president so I believe the Republican party and the bush family would already have a slew of their own fact checkers re-checking moores material and claims. If there was any untruths in the film we'd have known about before the realese of the movie. So far, noone in this thread have provided creditable evidence that are any untrue claims in F911

none of those articles amount to much more than critiques of his editing style.
where are the factual errors?
where are the lies?
national review starts in with...
Faulty reasoning, slim evidence, outright foolish statements, nothing slows him down. The film has a number of factual errors, and the 9/11 Commission, which he portrays sympathetically, has since undercut some of the pillars of his major arguments.
but doesn't bother elaborating on the supposed factual errors or the pillars that have been undercut.
I don't get it....what am I missing here?

Forget it, dude... the simple fact is that they cannot provide you the evidence to prove their claims of "factual errors" or "lies" or "misinformation". Hell... most of em have never even bothered to watch the fucking movies themselves.
The minute someone wants to debate me on that philosophical points made by Moore in his films as opposed to these little sematic arguements about what word was placed where and what was and wasn't implied by this scene or that one... THEN we can have a discussion. Until then... well... I've got shit to do.

Not at all.
Saddam would at least stand a chance of being right.

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
