How can you have read that article and still say the movie has no
material errors of fact? I've got it! It's not error if it's intentional
deceit!

Facts? Tee hee.
Violence? No, that's what Michael Moore advocates:
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2004-04-14
"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not insurgents"
or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen,
and their numbers will grow -- and they will win."
Remember, Moore loves the troops, just like millions of other patriotic
Americans.
"Carry on, you Iraqi minutemen! Show those Americans who's boss! Oops! I
mean, I love the troops! They are poor, dumb blacks who don't know any
better!"

Facts? Tee hee.

It's rather chuckalicious for a Moore fanboy to talk about someone else
being uninformed.

Upset? Who's upset? By the way, let's pretend your dream comes true and
John Kerry wins. How do you suppose the Democrats are going to put
Michael Moore back in the bottle?
(they could put a cheesesteak inside the bottle, maybe!)
