Moore is still convinced that Gore should have won in 2000. Enough said...

You have someone working for Bush making sure people who would vote for Gore couldn't vote and you have the balls to call someone an idiot? You guys surprise me sometimes. That shit was fixed to its core.

Well in this case I have to say thank god it was, or else that moron (Gore) may have won. And he'd have been worse than Bush.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised too. The election was decided in the Supreme Court for Christ's sakes....Oh yeah, Bush won fair and square...if he was an honorable man and confident in his victory, then he would have allowed more recounts.
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high

I thought Farenheit 9/11 was mostly streches. There are good points in the movie though and the good ones are backed up by the 9/11 Commission. I think hev is right about that. As far as FarenHype, I haven't seen it and I don't plan to. Honestly, I think it would be a waste of my time. I have to say Moore's Bowling For Columbine was an excellent film. I don't think there's a lot people can say about that movie being bullshit, some exaggerations and streches at the most. I think the point that most people seem to be missing here is that it's all propaganda. If it's not objective, and no film that is essentially present day political commentary can be objective, then it means that it's biased. At that point, it's all propaganda. That doesn't mean there are no facts though and no proof, I think a lot of people are missing that. If it's calling a certain way, it's automatically propaganda.

1st definition: The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.

Dude... I noticed that too...

I even pointed it out... Just not as elegantly...

You really should watch FarenHype though... Just to be fair and objective, it's no more a waste of time than FarenHeit was. Dude, just Download it.

This computer would probably explode if I tried to download it, so that's out of the question. I don't really feel I need to see it because I don't use points from Farenheit 9/11 as proof for something I claim. I don't think it would be appropriate. Plus, I'm sure FarenHype would set me in bad mood. It's like when I have this bad habit of turning Fox News on from time to time...the laughter often leads to being pissed off. And lastly, I don't think anyone needs Farenheit 9/11 to prove how bullshit and unjustified the War in Iraq is. Booyah.
