    And wouldn't the world be boring if everyone agreed with each other?

    Kind of like the Borg, wouldn't you say?

    To all of the Michael Moore bashers and haters,

    Just follow http://www.michaelmoore.com/mustread/f911facts/ for up to date critical information on the film. Also, in case you hadn't already heard about it, MM has hired a small group of researchers to tackle any issues that may come up after the film is released. The righties will be tearing this film apart word by word and that is what this group of researchers are getting prepared for.

    4 more days. I plan on seeing the first showing in my city.

    By the way...what happened to Yeru?

    Yeru has a job, and a life outside this board, besides, I've been made to feel unwelcome on this particular thread. As I don't have a lot invested in this (because almost everyone recognizes that Moore, rather than trying to spread "truth" just hates Bush...I don't see any reason getting my panties twisted.

    Yes it surely would be boring. Isn't it great that, because we are free of the Borg, we can exchange ideas and thoughts, and yes, squabble over politics? I still find freedom exhilirating.

    Well, he's already REALLY pissed off Ray Bradbury by plagarizing the title.

    Too late, Yeru...

    Blanket statement alert!..."everyone" recognizes? I guess I am not everyone then. For the sake of argument, even if Moore hates Bush, does that make his evidence untrue?? Attack the message not the messenger.

    By the way, Yeru, you never answered my questions about freedom and the feelings you have as a military man. Is that what made you feel unwelcome? I hope not, because I thought they were legitimate questions.

    So I take it that Michael Moore supporters have no problem with the way he misleads the viewers? In his movie about Flint he sayed that 30,000 people lost their jobs when it was only 5,000.

    In all of his films, when someone gives an answer that doesnt fit with his "vision" he edits them out. How is that an accurate portrayal? When he asked a few members of congress if they had any children in the Military (to show how they are killing all of America's poor children ) and they said "No" he showed that. Now when one of them said No, but I have a NEPHEW who is serving- did Moore show that?? NOPE.

    He distorts the facts. He is a liberal version of Rush. Both are utter crapheads.

    Well I dont know about EVERYONE, but I happen to be a Moore fan, and even I recognize that he does slant things to "fit his vision". And it's HIS vision, just like the Administration slants things to fit their "vision" as well. I watched the interview and it irritated me that Moore seemed to be getting annoyed at the hard questions he was asked. He even commented on it. An interview on Dateline is very different from the couch on Leno. It's not just some Press Junket opportunity to promote your film. If you're going to make a political film be prepared to answer the political questions.

    By the way, he came right out and said it was personal against Bush. So that being said, you already know what you should expect from the movie. If you're a Bush supporter than why see the movie if you already know it's intentions, and know you're just going to be pissed off? And if you're not a Bush supporter, well you've alreday decided that before seeing the movie, just know that it is a slanted, cleverly editted movie.

    Chevy of the 'lover of slanted, cleverly editted movies' class :)
