Get ready to disect the lies now.

Maybe we could start a LumpyRiefenstahl-411 Michael Moore counter-information sidebar thread?

Elsewhere, the plane carrying certain Bush-connected members of the Bin Laden family out of the United States on the morning of the attacks takes to the air with the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" roars on the soundtrack.

I wonder if he mentions that the liberals' darling, Richard Clarke, was the one who approved the flight out. And it wasn't the morning of the attacks, either.

It sounds like Pevere is getting paid by Moore. He's exactly what Moore needs: someone stupid enough to believe his lies. And there are plenty more in Big Media who are ready and willing to do just that.

Not just yet. We need to make sure he's stuck with the product. If we point out his obvious fabrications now, he can make changes to the film before it's full release. After that we hit him, and hard.

Quite the difference between this article and another posted thread.

I'm apt to believe that the article that says the movie sucks is more accurate.

For the record I did not post this review out of agreement with the author. I posted it (along with another review) to piece together what we do know about this film so far.

I included a quote from this review in another thread to show that Michael Moore manipulated footage. Here he has slowed down the response President Bush gave when he heard about the attacks.

A propandista at work.

I wasn't trying to say that you agreed with the author. Actually, I figured you didn't. I ws just saying the movie probably sucked.
The author of the other article have given Moore a four star rating for 'Bowling' back when Moore was the left's little sweetheart. I have a feeling that may not be the case any longer. More reviews will show.

I understand. There are many reviews being put online today. Quite a few of them have been put on FR.

I figured I'd defend my choice in adding "another one". The description of the slowed down clip was the main reason.

This movie and its creator are a pile. A pile of crap.

It's good to see the Liberals happy about something, even if they have to be complete jackasses and idiots relishing all the lies spun as truth. They've all been on suicide watch for going on 2 years now.

What other reaction would one expect from the eunuchs, psychos and heroin insipids at Cannes...The Devil is working feverishly overtime on George W. Bush.....This will be indeed examined very closely by good people - and there will be a scathing indictment of it and its foul-mouthed maker. The potential harm of this - not only to W. but to the entire nation - can not be underestimated. It is truly an act of treason in a time of war for our survival. As that, it is an act of war itself. It epitomizes the radical left as it always has been and as it will always be - hateful, slanderous, murderous.

Isn't Cannes in FRANCE? The home of our "Friends" we supposedly abandoned to fight the War on Terror.

The Toronto Star is one of the most Liberal Canadian Papers...

It sounds like Pevere is getting paid by Moore.

He doesn't have to. Geoff Pevere is a lefty cheerleader. His previous gig was with the CBC.

Mr. Pevere, Moore's "Ferret-hype" will appeal to people living in bottomless pits of stupidity. Looks like you're a resident.
