Watch FAHRENHEIT carefully then study the rebuttal. The rebuttal is nothing more than putting outrageous words in Moore's mouth he never said. Moore never said some of the things he implied or the rightwing accuses him of implying. On the flipside, the Republicans cannot disprove that Bin Lauden money influenced Bush or that Carlyle Group money has inflected and corrupoted this administration. And so what if a big chunk of the 1.8 billion Saudi money into the Bush world was one chunk? Did Moore ever say it wasn't? And it's still a ton of Saudi money in Bushie hands. That buys a lot of loyalty. What the rightwing rebutal against Moore is is a counter-propaganda critique. That is, "How dare you insinuate Bush was working for Bin Lauden? Look here, the Bin Lauden family is innocent" Well Moore never said Bush was corrupt and even the insinuation is in the eye of the beholder. All Moore did was lay out the facts. Sure he's clever and can get you putting two and two together, but the facts remain 100% factual so far as I can see. I still have not seen one actual statement in the film proven to be untrue. In fact most of the is just real people doing real things so how can you rebut it at all? Going to rebut the patriotic mom who hates Bush after her son is killed in Iraq? I don't think so.
