 | this was supposed to be my followup to bogala: 
 He did give the speach at columbine.  if you go
 here michael moore defends what the movie showed.
 he also admits that the "cold dead hands" quote itself was
 taken from a denver t.v. ad and not from the actual speach.
 But he does post the video and the whole transcript of the
 speach.
 
 Michael Moore also refutes a lot of other bogus right-wing
 claims about that movie in this message.

 | it is not about Bush specifically but rather about the lies told to the world and the American public to get us into a
 war for the profit of a handful of corporations.   The Bush
 background that is included is more relevant to this
 specific story.
 
 this is one place where F 9/11 is a better movie than
 Bowling for Columbine.  THis film has a central thesis and
 everything in the film is in support of that thesis.  It is
 a very focused movie unlike Bowling for Columbine which is
 more general about it's premise.

 | eh, he made it look like he made that speech at columbine that Tuesday. Down the street from the shootings.. Which he
 didn't..Moore does that shit. He takes you off onto a whole
 different mind set from the true context of things. He
 leaves little holes so he can wriggle out, too. He flaps his
 lips more than bush..What fallacies am I not noticing? Not
 fair.

 | Not that Moore doesn't have good points. I like his films. They're entertaining, (docs are my fav) but they are often
 not the whole story..I can't look into the heart of
 everyman. I don't know bush's true motivation, but in the
 spirit of America's past. I imagine he's trying to spread
 democracy in a theocratic archaic middle east... Like we
 tried in Vietnam. It hurts. It's risky, often doesn't work
 and probably won't again.

 | Its not that internationally people obtain a point of view about America through Mike Moore who is a component of
 popular culture but America leads globalistation (a right
 wing invention for colonisation), he is barely scraping the
 surface and I think its what he get away with. Unfortunately
 we get the most inane rubbish from American Media outlets
 shoved down our throats on a daily basis misinforming us
 about worl wide events, like Voice over America on our local
 public access, mainly ethnic channel or 2020 which tells us
 about rich old Americans cloning their pets or babies or
 using ECT treatment to make a person into a genius or an
 master painter by giving the treatment another name and the
 reporter undergoing Electric Shock treatment for the story.
 Every day on the news the CIA is plotting to bury the
 stories of the abuses at Abu Ghabib, starting with the
 beheading of David Berg at said prison, well documented on
 the net.  If we are a bit confused we know you are not all
 crazy :) its a media blitz and Mike is putting the shits up
 Bush which he deserves for lying.

 | How could this be propaganda when it is well documented, open source (in CIA terms) on the net. Have they found the
 weapons of mass destruction? What do people know about the
 Carygle group, Haliburton, and Betechel, all on the net -
 corpwatch.org and others - just decode it. Propaganda could
 be defined as taking one point of view of a given situation
 and is well used by the mainstream media so Michael Moore is
 simply taking the piss. The censorship is in place so you
 only hear one point of view every day so if Mike is doing
 it, it must be wrong.

 This is propaganda in action but I totally understand but
 there is still no excuse for this kind of ignorance. e.g.
 the first wide spread computer virus was developed in
 Pakistan in the 1980's called C-Brain where cyberpunk was
 invented. And according to my TV there are many christian
 archaic backwards American groups in the US who believe
 things like the LEFT BEHIND series who are completely nuts
 and are running your country right now.

 Well documented on net and I havent seen the movie yet so it
 better live up to what I am expecting from it but knowing
 the facist country America has become I seriously doubt it.
 We have been given 1 single screening at the film festival
 late in July after the propaganda machines have buried it
 and dissected it but it will appear later as our
 monopolistic amerian owned cinema will be dying to make a
 killing.
