Hitchens just repeats old talking points without actually refuting any of the film's facts. His only tactic is to use very long paragraphs to disguise that he hasn't actually tried to disprove anything, only to complain about them. It's also full of downright falsehoods. For example: <font color=blue>Moore has announced that he won't even appear on TV shows where he might face hostile questioning.</font> I've seen him twice on air with O-Reilly and I generally avoid those shows. Even so, Moore's TV apparences have nothing to do with the accuracy of the movie. That stands on it's own merits. Hitchens seems to think it is tied to Moore's interview schedule, or that long paragraph about blacks which doesn't seem to tie into anything, <font color=blue>Would he have supported the antidraft (and very antiblack) riots against Lincoln in New York? </font>. See! what does that have to do with the movie? Mostly Hitchens tries to imply that the situation is better in Afganistan and Iraq when clearly it is not. TP
