I don't know if I posted this one before, but here is a nice article on the many lies in Michael Moore's "documentary" Bowling for Columbine. I'd really love to see how Moore supporters, who seem to have been brain washed by the man, answer to all this evidence of their hero being a fanatical liar.

To call him a "liar" may be a bit strong though. Even the article's author holds from using the term because he says that in a "mockumentary", it is known that "facts" are made up. It really comes down to the reader having to research. That's the dangers of the masses. They'll take anything for fact before doing any second hand research on their own. I didn't have to be told that ROCKY was not a true story, nor TERMINATOR, INDIANA JONES, or even BRUCE ALMIGHTY. What gets the viewers duped is that Moore better known for real documentaries, so they don't expect anything other than that, but that fault lies more on the viewers than the directory.
THIS IS SPINAL TAP never said any of it was fake. It was a nicely done piece. Who do you blame if the audience takes it as fact. The viewers or the directory?

I go to school in Vermont and there are a lot of liberals and the biggest problem i have is the statment war for oil. We don't have the right to the oil in Iraq France and Germany do, wait didnt they discourge the war? Wow, if anyone has a negative response i would be happy to hear it. Its very easy to watch a completly biased movie, please think for your self not Michael Moore.
