Moore was 95% right about Bush-Cheney, mostly proven now.
The 56 Deceits is just nit-picking and whitewashing. Little stuff like saying this or that was taken out of context. Well of course some of that's true, but it doesn't change the accuracy of the major points.
But in fact, all of Moore's major claims are true. Things Moore actually states Bush and his people did, they did. He uses actual footage of them saying exactly what they are denying they said now, for instance. Like that Saddam and Al Qaida are the same thing, and Saddam will attack the US with WMD if we don't invade. All BS.
Moore also underestimated, for instance, how many Saudis and Bin laudens were let out of the country after 9-11 without interrogation. He also underestimated the amount of oil gouging profits which were to be made.
The White House has never denied anything in that movie. Including that Bush was financed by a Bin lauden and Bush Sr. was meeting with a Bin Lauden on 9-11. Why? Because they can't. They're true.
The 56 Deceits also is full of BS. Like that Jeb's Bushies didn't scrub 57,700 blacks off the rolls in Florida. Of course they did. In fact they never denied it, they just claimed it was an honest mistake. Some mistake. It put Bush in power. And they repeated the 'mistake" in 2002. 97,000 scrubbed voters that year though Jeb didn't need it.
Moore is a propagandist, but also a stickler for veracity. He never lies. He used the fact-checker for New Yorker magazine. Nothing goes into his films without being triple-checked because he knows the right will come after him. True, he insinuates shades of villainy which may be a little over the top, like that Afghanistan (a bi-partisan war) was to finish a pipeline deal (that was only one part of it). But on the whole, he hits the nail on the head. You should see the film again. Don't believe that website. Those people work for Bush-Cheney. They have a vested interest in the cover-up and smearing of Moore. |
