Yeah I liked that one, I also loved it when he harrasses Congressmen to sign up their children for service in Iraq -- yes it is infatile, but it does prove a strong point; it isn't their kids out there on the line.HemlockGrey wrote:"I call upon all people to stop these terrorist killers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rep. Mark Kennedy has unhappy memories of his filmed encounter with leftist moviemaker Michael Moore, an encounter featured Thursday in a trailer for the upcoming U.S. release of the film "Fahrenheit 9/11."
"I was walking back to my office after casting a vote, and all of a sudden some oversized guy puts a mike in my face and a camera in my face," said the Minnesota Republican. "He starts asking if I can help him recruit more people from families of members of Congress to participate in the war on terror."
Kennedy said he told Moore that he has two nephews in the military, one who has just been deployed in the Army National Guard.
But to Kennedy's annoyance, his response to Moore was cut from the trailer (and from the film, according to a spokeswoman for the movie).
"The interesting thing is that they used my image, but not my words," Kennedy said. "It's representative of the fact that Michael Moore doesn't always give the whole story, and he's a master of the misleading
Nah, I'm sure there's plenty of errors and fabrications in the movie if his past body of work is anything to go by.theski wrote:This might turn into the only problem with the film for real contex issues..http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/4810977.htmlRep. Kennedy pans Michael Moore film editing

so about that bridge I have for sale in Brooklyn. $25 and its yours. Deal?
Michael Moore hasn't overtly lied in the sense of saying something like "The sky is fucking yellow!" What he does is selectively tell truths in such a manner as to delibrately mislead or, support a pre-existing conclusion regadless of contradicting information.BoredShirtless wrote:Has he lied?

After reading it, my opinion was that none of the people criticizing the film could find any kind of solid evidence of major fabrications on Moore's part. They mostly complained about how, if you interpreted the composition and presentation a certain way, it could possibly be considered lying. None of the criticisms affect the main point of the film, which is that America's crime rates aren't necessarily caused by gun ownership, since other countries have similar gun ownership rates but drastically lower crime rates. Moore basically postulates that America's uniquely high violent crime rates are the result of a culture of fear propagated by the media.BoredShirtless wrote:So what came out of that thread?

ehhh, what else is new. now if you did, that would be newsworthy. worthy even of attention from obese angry documentary filmakers perhaps.BoredShirtless wrote:Bullshit, I don't believe you.Col.
