Facts are truth. Propaganda is only the dissemination of these facts
for a cause. If the only negative thing you can say about Moore's film
is that it is "propaganda" I'd say Moore should feel pretty good about
himself.

Nice to see you admit that you're making these "it's nothing but
entertainment" comments about a film you've only seen clips of. I
don't think George W. Bush finds the film very entertaining. 

GREAT NEWS by the way!:

The film has made history. It is now the first documentary EVER to
debut as the weekend's top grossing film. Couple that with it's
limited distribution to the organized effort of Bush supporters who
seek to block the film's release and I'd say that's quite remarkable.

Thank you for showing your true colors with the "twisted mind"
epithet. For my part I'll continue to try debating logically with you
as futile as that may be.

More personal attacks.

I haven't seen the film yet so I can't say yet whether I believe it
unlike others who don't feel in the least hindered by that handicap in
flapping their partisan gums.

I'm only commenting on the right-wing reactions I've heard to the
movie thus far. They're much like you: heavy in anger and void of
logical counterpoint.

Cheers,

Raj
