If the site is telling the truth, and with the right, that's no guarantee, Moore used three words of another speech to accent that part of his film. Hardly, the huge conspiracy you're accusing him of perpetrating.

This isn't about that site. This is common knowledge. It was NOT "accenting" part of the film; that's the problem. It totally changed the meaning of the entire segment. It was carefully chosen specifically to have that effect.

And that doesn't change the fact that the speech was inappropriate......

The speech wasn't inappropriate -- if you saw it in context. It was a speech made as part of a ceremony in which Heston was presented the gun as an award.

Again, it is just a case of Moore's playing fast and loose with the facts, and worse, effectively defrauding viewers with carefully chosen edits.

This is Moore's history.
