So I saw the movie tonight, there were only about 50 people that came to see it but it got a round of applause when it ended. Kinda strange.

The best part was when he was trying to get congressmen to sign their sons up for military service. He even had a brochure for each branch of service for them to look over.

It doesn't really matter tho, I think everyone has had their minds made up for awhile now on who to vote for.

Like I said, as long as it bashes Bush and fits into your preconceptions, you'll support it no matter the factual basis.

Michael Moore is a successful businessman. He has found his niche and will continue to provide what his market demands. Lucky for him, what this market demands also falls in line with his personal bias. He is providing a certain brand of entertainment to this market, but not one based on objective facts, because that isn't what his audience wants.

Moore can either be an objective film maker creating documentaries or a biased film maker creating propaganda. It is pretty self evident where he stands as he might as well be the film version of Rush Limbaugh.

Two more definititions for you:

fact Pronunciation Key (fkt)
n.

1. Knowledge or information based on real occurrences: an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy.
2.
1. Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed: Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact.
2. A real occurrence; an event: had to prove the facts of the case.
3. Something believed to be true or real: a document laced with mistaken facts.
3. A thing that has been done, especially a crime: an accessory before the fact.
4. Law. The aspect of a case at law comprising events determined by evidence: The jury made a finding of fact.

ob·jec·tive Pronunciation Key (b-jktv)
adj.

1. Of or having to do with a material object.
2. Having actual existence or reality.
3.
1. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic. See Synonyms at fair1.
2. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal.
4. Medicine. Indicating a symptom or condition perceived as a sign of disease by someone other than the person affected.
5. Grammar.
1. Of, relating to, or being the case of a noun or pronoun that serves as the object of a verb.
2. Of or relating to a noun or pronoun used in this case.

Apparently you feel the same way about Michael Moore as Michael Moore feels about George W Bush.

I have an idea,.. if you feel that Michael Moore is wrong by making this movie, then why not write HIM a letter instead of wasting your time arguing the superficial points of this topic with me?

There's like 465 congressman or some crazy high number like that. I wouldn't expect anyone to even recognize half of them let alone know within 5 seconds of seeing him if the guy had kids. Most of them ran as soon as they saw him, so he was lucky to even be able to ask a question to any of them.

I'll have to go see it again to be 100% sure, but I think he had asked them if they had children first, then proceeded to talk about the brochures.

But of all of the people that Mooreon asked or attempted to ask, how many of them were Democrats?

The average person is lazy, opinionated and prefers to have his news predigested in the form of TV reports since he reads at a grade 4 level.

exactly, maybe its kinda a "Andy Kaufman" thing where it's just funny to him. But I think he's just poking people in the face and seeing how many people blinding believe and how many are outraged and how many people see it for the poke in the face it really is. I feel it's more like a "where's waldo" thing; find all the "stuff I made up" sort of deal. Slap a "documentary" label on it to confuse the masses... next thing you know he'll put in a video of a film reel breaking just so people get mad at the theatre...

If Michael Moore came running up to you with a camera crew and that "I'm really going to stick it to you" look on his face, you'd run too... :p

Question for you. As a libertarian do you follow the party line which would to be to remove us from world politics? This is where I have one of my largest issues with the libertarian party. Do you feel it's a good idea for the US govt. to remove military from bases around the world and for us to stay out of foreign affairs to the extent that the party would like to do?
