"Moore is doing everything he does, "because he doesn't like Bush." After the election Moore will dissapear if Bush wins another term, the only reason he's around is because the Democrats want him around."
Well, the Republicans also get a little of the credit here as well. If the Republicans would let 911 die, Michael Moore would disappear because his film focuses on 911 and the fall out. But the Republicans continue to run on the 911 platform, becaise everything else they have done has been terrible and they would get throttled.
"And i agree with arsonal, Moore is the one keeping the election close because of his bias movie."
How would Arsenal know, he hasn't seen it. He admits it himself. My suggestion is to watch the movie yourself and make your own call.
"My social teacher refused to show the movie to our class specifically because Moore made the movie to get Bush out of Office."
Really? I would hope that information doesn't get out because that is not your teacher's decision to make and that could be grounds for dismissal. That is a gross exaggeration of the intent of the movie. Again, watch the movie and decide for yourself.
"Why does Moore trace 9/11 only to Bush, i'm sure everyone knows that you are supposed to solve the problem before it affects you. Clinton did nothing when Bin Laden bombed the USS Cole, why doesn't Moore blame him for not doing anything for the War on Terror? I know where your views are coming from, but Moore isn't the best person to believe. If you call Dave Kopel a lier, i'll call Moore a lier."
Well, you're dead wrong there. Clinton did respond to the Cole bombing and to the African embassy bombings. He bombed the terror camps in Afgahnistan as well as Sudan. He also had a plan put in place to use a drone to take out bin Laden but could not get the military to used the then experimental technology to do so. Clinton responded which is why Moore did not crucify him. As well, Clinton's admin also set up many anti-terrorism mechanisms that did not exist prior to his Presidency.
Moore is a left winger, no doubt about that, but he is not a lier. He may use some clever editting to emphasze his point, but he is an honest guy. Yes, he makes a stand in his films and hits you over the head, but he does not lie. That is why he gets the respect and villification that he does. He calls it as he sees it, brings a well researched game plan, and makes an entertaining and usually thought proving film.
Kopel, is right winger. No doubt about that. But I will point out that Kopel is a recognized neo-con and uses two well documented liers like Ann Coultier and Sean Hannity as his "source of truth". That doesn't lend credibility to his cause in any fashion.
As I said, watch the film, do the research and make the call yourself. I have never liked Michael Moore, but F911 made me do some reading and really changed the way I saw things. There are some really good books out there that are unbiased and backup much of what Moore says.
