He even allowed the movie to be copied and spread throughout the internet. There are numerous websites that allow you download it for free and are good quality. There was no excuse for not watching the movie, and the people that didn't were probably hardcore Bush believers who wouldn't hear of it.

Yeah, or they were people who don't agree with Bush, but also don't agree with dishonest film makers who distort facts, video and interviews to show their own incredibly slanted view of a topic and then go around claiming that it is pure fact. Hmmm, I wonder if I can think of someone like that. :wave: [/b][/quote]
It's funny you say that, because I have seen numerous interviews with Moore where he states that the film reflects his point of view and acknowledges that there are others.

People are so into complaining about the guy that they pay no attention to what is really being said.

Is that fair though?

One can have a point of view, that's fine. But if you purposely distort or leave out facts you're not trying to make it look like a point of view, you're trying to change minds through the presentation of facts.

I don't want to get into another Moore fight, but I dont' see the two as the same at all.

It's so tiring to see people make these accusations against him and his films, yet providing no examples of what they mean. "There is no Marine outfit that tries to recruit the poor in deprived areas" for example, try that. Dispute something. It's kinda like the complaint that is heard that Bush isn't dumb. Well he can't talk, he gets nervous and makes things up, there's my example. "Misunderestimated" a statesman that uses that is officially an idiot, not just me saying it and backing off.

he updated it. I like the guy to be honest but I can understand if you don't. Your own POV thats cool. However I think his web page right now speaks volume take a look everybody.
