Re: Fahrenheit 9/11 is pure propaganda, so you obviously can't claim to care about truth
> Again, you keep harping on one particular point in the film.
I could harp on points throughout the film, as there are deceptions from beginning to end. But this would be too tedious for a Morrissey board. If you were interested in knowing about these deceptions you would be reading the journalists who have been scrutnizing the film in recent weeks. Such as Spinsanity, Michael Isikoff, and others. I also see no need to do so because the Unocal propaganda says it all about Moore's agenda and the credibility of his film. The type of innuendo he makes leads people further away from truth, and encourages paranoid conspiracy theories. This is why the movie will be very popular amongst our enemies in the Middle East, but hey...as long as Michael Moore-on gets rich and famous, and Bush is harmed, who cares, right?
I'm sure a good documentary could be made attacking a president's ties and entanglements with big business to the detriment of the country. That film is not Farhenheit 9/11. Michael Moore has zero interest in anything except propaganda. His track record is so disgusting in this regard, I find it insulting when someone tells me I should waste any further time with his work, because that will just mean I'll have to spend many hours fact-checking everything only to come to the conclusion the movie was a bunch of bullshit just like his last one. It's about as stupid as people who were telling me
Bill Clinton was a serial killer in Arkansas.
Farhenheit 9/11 is a movie I did go to see, and it will be the final time I ever waste time on that idiot again. It's like someone asking me to read "The Way Things Ought To Be" by Rush Limbaugh to get "informed." You're laughable. Also, Michael Moore refers to jihadists in Iraq as "minutemen," so he's not even on the same side as I am.
Furthermore, as an additional example of why it's pointless to go point by point through the movie (others already have...), I saw Moore appear on ABC for an interview with Stephenopolous, who challenged him on another deception. Moore's response to it was another lie, a lie told in the hope that ABC would not check the film's transcript. ABC did check the transcript, and once again it's obvious Michael Moore-on doesn't care about honesty whatsoever.
ABC NEWS:
STEPHANOPOULOS: You have a scene when you're up on Capitol Hill encountering members of Congress, asking them if they would ask their sons and daughters to enlist … in the military. And one of those members of Congress who appears in the trailer, Mark Kennedy, said you left out what he told you, which is that he has two nephews serving in the military, one in Afghanistan. And he went on to say that, "Michael Moore doesn't always give the whole truth. He's a master of the misleading."
MOORE: Well, at the time, when we interviewed him, he didn't have any family members in Afghanistan. And when he saw the trailer for this movie, he issued a report to the press saying that he said that he had a kid in—
STEPHANOPOULOS: He said he told you he had two nephews.
MOORE: … No, he didn't. And we released the transcript and we put it on our Web site. This is what I mean by our war room. Any time a guy like this comes along and says, "I told him I had two nephews and one was going to Iraq and one was going to Afghanistan," he's lying. And I've got the raw footage and the transcript to prove it. So any time these Republicans come at me like this, this is exactly what they're going to get. And people can go to my Web site and read the transcript and read the truth. What he just said there, what you just quoted, is not true.

This Week followed up with the office of Rep. Kennedy. He did have two nephews in the military, but neither served in Iraq. Kennedy's staff agrees that Moore's Website is accurate but insists the movie version is misleading. In the film, Moore says, "Congressman, I'm trying to get members of Congress to get their kids to enlist in the Army and go over to Iraq." But, from the transcript, here's the rest:
MOORE: Is there any way you could help me with that?
KENNEDY: How would I help you?
MOORE: Pass it out to other members of Congress.
KENNEDY: I'd be happy to — especially those who voted for the war. I have a nephew on his way to Afghanistan.
