American Spirit has obviously shielded his eyes to the blatant lies of Moore's movies. One example was when he showed that he went into a bank that had a free gun promotion and claimed to walk out with the gun with no real checks. In fact, Moore went into the bank earlier and arranged the whole thing beforehand off camera and then went back with the film crew later. The intellectual dishonesty was amazing. And the fact that he supports the government when the government kills citizens who are minding their own business, but condemns the government when we are fighting a self proclaimed enemy, well.......

You're all for rightwing terrorists, but when it comes to foreign terrorists, you want to start WWIII and support the extreme chickenhawk crowd, putting us in a state of permanent war, just so the rightwing can keep getting re-elected by using scare tactics and boogey men. Reminds me of the "domino theory" in Vietnam. Bush uses the exact same language as Johnson did in 1964. Exactly the same. "We have to fight for freedom in Iraq/Vietnam" after escalating the war based on bad intelligence and overzealous hawkishness, getting thousands of people on our side killed. Timothy McVeigh and some on the extreme political right now have a lot in common. Maybe he's even a hero to them. And you sympathize?
