Moore is very careful in his research so as not to get caught in lies. I think the only thing they caught him on in F 911 wasn't a lie, but that mockup of the newspaper, making a letter from the editor seem like a headline.

Just watched Roger and Me again. The guy is a superb human interest storyteller. In today's visual media, people like him are gold for their 'side'. I'm sure that the right will finally realize this, and come up with their own Michael Moores...

Moore's deceptions have websites devoted to them. Here's a good start:

Kerry is a moderate-to-conservative. His Americans for Democratic Action (a liberal Democratic org.) lifetime rating is higher (more liberal) than even Ted Kennedy's or Kucinich's.

will be senatorial and diplomatic to get us the heck out of Iraq and won't start a fictitious war against Iran (70 million people!) and North Korea (8 nuclear weapons). What do you get out of Bush that would be WORSE under Kerry?

Kerry will cut and run from Iraq, leading to a new Lebanon like country where terrorists can find safe haven. Iran and NK's nuclear proliferation are real threats that a future President will have to deal with. Kerry will not confront the threats. If he attempts to, they tyrants ruling those countries will rightly conclude Kerry is bluffing, based on his published comments about the Iraq war resolution.

War is sometimes a necessary evil. We are less likely to need to go to war if our adversaries realize that our threats are not just bluster. Look at how Libya abandoned their nuclear program and Charles Taylor left power voluntarily when Bush told him he had to. Would Gaddafi or Taylor have respected Kerry's tough talk? No, he's already said he believes in issuing empty threats.
