Our savior and millionaire

This article from the Vallejo News deconstructs the "Big Lie" in Fahrenheit 9/11:

Stringing small facts and nasty stereotypes together into a contrived and emotionally charged, seemingly inevitable conclusion is precisely what constructing a big lie is all about. It's the same kind of ugly conspiratorial emotional stew that feeds anti-Semitism, racism and much of the unthinking, irrational fear that pits people and groups against one another. The notion that you are a powerless victim, that a secret conspiracy actually controls things, but now, through the wisdom and sacrifice of our savior, the perpetrators have been revealed.

Australian (and all) readers, consider this article

At least the great Tim Blair is not alone: Australian writer Andrew Bolt has come out with a review of Fahrenheit 911 in the Sunday Herald (Australia):

I HAVE long thought Michael Moore a liar, and should not have been shocked when I saw his "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11.

Even so, I was horrified. This film - breaking box-office records in America - is so deceitful that it makes the infamous Triumph of the Will documentary by Hitler's propagandist, Leni Riefenstahl, seem balanced.

But what shocked me even more than Moore's hymn of hatred of America and its president was the reaction to it of the small audience at the preview I saw at the Crown multiplex.

Many there clapped when the dis-credits finally rolled. True, this wasn't the bellowing, stamping, weeping ovation that a poisonously anti-American crowd at the Cannes Film Festival gave Moore before a jury of Leftists and nihilists handed him the Palme d'Or.

Still, it was enough to worry anyone who prizes truth and civilisation, and I looked at the people around me, and wondered: are they so cretinous or so easily misled that they do not know that Moore lies? Or are they, like many of the Left, so immoral or frivolous as to not care that he lies, as long as his lies are sweet?

Some liberals resent Moore's methods

The New Republic's Richard Just on Fahrenheit 911:

There seems to be a growing sentiment among liberals that Moore is a bad guy, but dammit, he's our bad guy. I disagree. Liberalism is as badly served by liberal intellectual dishonesty as it is by conservative intellectual dishonesty. Besides, Lila Lipscomb and the young men being funneled directly from Flint malls to Iraq deserve better. That is, they deserve to be more than distractions from the intellectual mess that precedes them in this movie. Moore ends "Fahrenheit 9/11" by predicting that American voters will not be fooled into voting again for George W. Bush. I hope he's right. But I also hope they won't be fooled by the bad logic at the center of his film.

A bad attitude

Posted from: OregonLive

From this article by David Reinhard:

In fact, "Fahrenheit 9/11" isn't an argument. It's an attitude. It doesn't build a case or marshal facts to reach a coherent conclusion. It throws up suggestions and inferences, some mutually contradictory -- Bush spends too much time vacationing, yet in one shot he's "vacationing" with Blair -- and some of it irrelevant -- Oregon's scarcity of state police is somehow Bush's fault. Moore's narration never rises above sophomoric, we're-all-in-the-know sarcasm and snickering.
