IAMNAPIV Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Apparently Moore is even stupider than once thought. In Farenheight 9/11, the front page of the Dec. 19 Pantagraph newspaper is shown, with the prominent headline "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election." However, there never was any such headline in that day’s paper. In fact, that title was used, but in a letter to the editors section weeks earlier. The paper is now seeking an apology from the filmmaker and compensatory damages of one dollar for misleading use of their paper, copyright infringement and the whatnot. Here’s the story in case you are interested: http://www.pantagraph.com/stories/073004/n...040730034.shtml Can’t wait to throw this in the faces of all those who adore that film! Next time, Moore, leave the scissors and paste to the first graders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles T. Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Here is a brief evaluation of Moore by Victor Davis Hanson: "Re: Michael Moore. Go back and look at Triumph of Will. He is the same sort of propagandist who snips and cuts, distorts and fudges for a “higher cause.” After 9-11 when he said there were mostly non-Bush voters in the WTC, when he recently said the killers in Iraq were Minutemen, when he said to the Germans that Americans were stupid, when he said we deserved our losses in Iraq, and so on—I mean when in contemporary pop culture have we seen such an odious figure? He combines the worst traits of an Oliver Stone, Noam Chomsky, Howard Stern, and Gore Vidal—and all wrapped up in one. His sad appearance, buffoonery, and childlike ignorance naturally draw on our sympathy, but he in fact uses that pity as well to earn a pass from censure. So yes, we have not seen anything quite like him in a while." I recommend Hanson's writings as much as I can recommend the writings of any Conservative.

PossiblyParanoid Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 ...He is the same sort of propagandist who snips and cuts, distorts and fudges for a "higher cause". It's comforting to know that we can trust the authoritative major media not to engage in such practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
