Impossible to fake real footage.

Right. But it's very possible to provide misleading voice-over, to take things out of context and to mess with the timeline.

The republicans play right into Moore's hands. By trying to ban, or otherwise inhibit the distribution of his movie...they make people want to see it even more. It's a PR dream for Moore.

What the republicans should do is encourage viewing of the movie...then engage in a discussion or rebuttal of what they think is wrong or inaccurate.

This is what free speech is all about. Trying to censor Moore makes him that much more credible.

I know when I saw the real footage of Dorothy's house flying over the rainbow, I knew it wasn't fake.
