Stupid White Cracker: Michael Moore's tired racial demagoguery on Iraq.

Great find! I thought the article did a good job of pointing out the lies in this movie. But, I think they should have spent more time one the many misleading and deliberate lies in the cartoon clip that was done by the creators of South Park. That is what I saw on most of the interview with Oprah.

Maybe this needs to be sent to Oprah since she is including this piece of misleading garbage in her analysis on "Why They Hate Us" ("they" being non-Americans)

I went to check whether IMDB (click on External Reviews to left) gave a link to the review you found, instead they had this older one by Mr. Berardinelli . I'll e-mail them to try and get them to provide a link to this newer one.

I went back and checked the original and I SCREWED UP. Apparently the initial quote is by Berardinelli and the rest of it is unattributed. I'll try to trace it to a source. I apologize for this error.

I did some more research and found that this piece was actually written by a lawyer named David T. Hardy. He didn't put his name on the original and I jumped to the wrong conclusion about who wrote it after seeing Berardinelli's name on the top of it.

Mr Hardy has authored several Pro-Second amendment articles and legal briefs and his work can be seen at: http://www.hardylaw.net

Sorry about the confusion.

I suggest that the Admin Moderator remove the references to ReelViews and to James Berardinelli at the very top, and that David T. Hardy's name get inserted as author.

Thanks.

Not to mention that Clebold & Harris did not go bowling the morning of their muderous rampage.

Every Michael Moore thread should state the obvious at some point, just for the record:

Yes, I agree. Enough lies, let the truth be told, his real name is Lumpy Riefenstahl and he is the offspring of these two:

Michael Moore == Joseph Goebbels

[SpyGuy]

"The sad part is that the lie has proven so successful. Moore's creative skills, which could be put to a good purpose, are instead used to convince the viewer that a truthful man is a liar and that things which did not occur, did."

Allow me to re-phrase that sentence as it would apply to Goebbels to illustrate the similarity between these two men:

The sad part is that the lie has proven so successful. Goebbels' creative skills, which could be put to a good purpose, are instead used to convince the viewer that a lying man [Hitler] is truthful and that things which did occur [Holocaust], did not.

So, your saying Moore is a fat, ugly, lying, egg sucking pig?

[SpyGuy]

Here is one more telling tidbit by this purveyor of lies and propaganda:

When CNN's Lou Dobbs asked Mr. Moore about his inaccuracies [in his book "Stupid White Men"], he shrugged off the quesiton. "You know, look, this is a book of political humor. So, I mean, I don't respond to that sort of stuff, you know," he said.

"Glaring inaccuracies?" Mr. Dobbs said.

"No, I don't. Why should I? How can there be inaccuracy in comedy?"

A bump for a good "Bash Michael Moore" thread.
