Moore has refuted all of those hate sites claims

Typical leftist smear job, don't like the message, disparage the messenger. Hate sites, yah right, you certainly do hate it when your assertions are held up and aired out in the light of day. When facts are displayed that don't conform to your DNC world view, your only rejoinder is to call it hate. Pathetic. The link below contains a side by side comparison of Moore's creative depiction of Heston's speech along with an actual transcript.

hardylaw.net

Moore presented Bowling as a documentary, by definition, a factual presentation of events that occurred in reality. What he actually presented, by his own admission, was a movie, by definition, fiction. This is from that fat lying slob's own web site:

michaelmoore.com

So, how crazy are the things they've said about "Bowling for Columbine?" Here are my favorites:

"That scene where you got the gun in the bank was staged!"

Well of course it was staged! It's a movie! We built the "bank" as a set and then I hired actors to play the bank tellers and the manager and we got a toy gun from the prop department and then I wrote some really cool dialogue for me and them to say!


Here is that lying fat slob admitting that he filmed a movie, not a documentary.

Want another one? From Moore's own website:

Here's another whopper I've had to listen to from the pro-gun groups:

"The Lockheed factory in Littleton, Colorado, has nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction!"

...As for what's currently manufactured in Littleton, McCollum told me, "They (the rockets sitting behind him) carry mainly very large national security satellites, some we can't talk about." (see him say it here)

Since that interview, the Titan IV rockets manufactured in Littleton have been critical to the war effort in both Afghanistan and Iraq. These rockets launched advanced satellites...


Yes, satellites, communications and surveillance devices, capable of killing exactly no one, unless one happened to fall out of the sky and land on your head. Weapons of mass destruction, right...

The fact that Michael Moore is a fat lying slob with an agenda doesn't bother me. The fact that he creates fiction, mainly by disingenuous and "creative" editing, and tries to pass it off as fact, does bother me, as it should do so for any honest, thinking individual.

Anyway, I've wasted more than enough time trying to enlighten you. If you wish to persist in your fantasies, then that's your right. I'm finished with this subject...
