1 Moore was lying again--he knew over a year ago that there was no distribution deal, and made up that stuff about Jeb Bush. Big Fat Liar indeed!

2 Maybe his next film will be about the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction. Fiction is as fiction does.

3 Oh, right. Those WMDs. The ones that every nation in the world--including France--believed Saddam possessed. The ones that Clinton relied on when he first articulated a U.S. policy of regime change for Iraq. The ones that might have surfaced in Syria. The ones that ultimately don't matter, because it was Saddam's failure to cooperate with the U.N. that provided the legal basis for us to go in and make sure.

4 Yep, those WMDs, the ones that weren't there but Bush et al decided to not let truth stand in the way of his agenda. But - hey! - you're armed as you repeatedly say so you must be right. A true Bushie. Let those with the biggest weapons make the rules, even if honesty, fiarness, and justice get left by the wayside. Two sides to every coin Sweets.

5 Well, you're right. And Michael Moore's camera is the biggest weapon of all. He uses it to lie about corporations, gun owners, the NRA, Chuck Heston, the President (apparently), and the very nature of America itself. Our friend who's a professor in Maryland (you remember the one) was reading one of Moore's books recently, and told me he was dismayed by it. "I keep wanting to tell him, 'I'm sympathetic to your point of view. You don't have to distort things and misuse statistics to try to convince me.'" But that's the thing I can't stand about Moore. He makes up his own facts to suit his agenda. Not in any uncertain, ambiguous way (as in the President's 16 words in a SOTU address that British intel has stood by even when the authorities in this country decided the information was wrong after all). Hundreds of pages, and three films that are just lies built on lies. Charleton Heston speeches created out of whole cloth by splicing together things he's really said and editing them creatively to put words in his mouth. It's really disgusting stuff, and there aren't two sides to this issue. If you care about your point of view, you shouldn't want it sullied by the likes of Michael Moore. You should be fighting harder than anyone to discredit him. The factual distortions in the book (banks give guns away as premiums if you open accounts with them--and just let you take the firearms home from the branch) should sicken you before they sicken me. This is your fight more than mine, because if your side can't get things like this straight, people will not listen or take you seriously.
