And why don't you comment on Bush's performance in the film?

Then I would be preaching to the choir, but ok. The Bush clips were the highlights of the movie. And Bush's performance on the morning of 9/11 was pathetic, void of leadership, and embarrassing to all Americans. But I knew that before I saw the movie.

How can you say Moore is racist?

The racism is just a byproduct of his narcissism. He is not filled with hate, so much as he overflows with love for himself.

for black youths under Bush there is almost no alternative other than enlisting to surviving in life.

Why do they have to be "blacks?" Why didn't he depict poor white people who didn't know any better than to get fooled by the recruiters? Why does he film two white recruiters tricking black recruits? Why does the one interview with a white student depict a teenager who engages in critical questioning of authorities?

Moore is "playing the race card" with these scenes. He's trying to be as incendiary as possible. And he knows that once he becomes identified with the political left, he will never be called a racist.
