except that moore's facts, by and large, ARE facts,
littered with melodrama, not make believe and out
right bullshit.
fact: bush sat on his duff
fact: bush family has close ties to saudis
fact: bush diverted resources from afghanistan and the
hunt for osama to take out saddam
fact: saddam was not involved in 9/11
fact: choicepoint and katherine harris illegally removed
eligible voters from the florida voter roles
fact: the bush administration has motivated one of the
largest exoduses of commited public servants from their
positions in government
bush misrepresented his tax cuts, his war, his NCLB, CS
and HF initiatives to the point of plausibly deniable lies.

Why don't you see that Moore is doing the exact same thing.
To the best of my limited knowledge, Moore hasn't put us $1,000,000,000,000 in debt; pissed off many allies, gotten almost a thousand of our young men killed, dismantled the Constitution...

This whole thread is a joke to compare a journalist/entertainer who has NO power over citizens, to an idiot bent on destroying an entire way of life.

You see this is what im talking about, those reading comprehension skills. We were not comparing Moore to Bush. We were comparing the similarities in their propaganda tactics.

Uh huh. Like comparing Mike Tyson's right cross to that of a school childs. They both use the same muscles.
Where then is the film of Moore promising to find Osama Bin Laden at all costs and then dismissing it's importance?

apparently making statements criticizing the

hating america itself.

Moore is a master of making you think his way is the only way.
Nobody MAKES anyone think anything. F9/11 is just an editorial. Moore has his opinions about Bush and the Iraq war, and he's presenting them to anyone who wants to hear them. Listen to what he has to say about the issue, listen to what Donald Rumsfeld or George Bush has to say about it, and decide for yourself.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

I recently bought Michael Moore's book 'Stupid White Men' when I found out it contained a chapter called 'Kill Whitey' in it. I want to scan a couple pages and post it on the internet in a couple places. It appears Michael Moore hates white people, too, even if he himself is white. The whole chapter is a soapbox diatribe on how bad white people are and how badly they have treated him and how black people and other minorities are subjected to all kinds of propaganda.

it does when you've been coddling the Saudis even in the face of our WOT, remember 15 out of 19, royal funding for Al Queda and all that jazz

Heres an interesting video clip about this from the CBC, one of Canada's news networks.

I agree, the name of the movie isn't an ad-hom attack, I'm not sure why I wrote that when I did. I was just so disgusted that they have to resort to challenging Moore's patriotism in the name of the movie. It just shows how desperate they've become I guess.
I would also like to see the sources or quotes you have of Michael Moore being Anti-American. He many be a lot of things but being un-patriotic isn't one of them.
