    I'm glad to see that you now are in support of TARP and Senator Dodd, that leaves only the Walmart segment which was true at one time but not now. Does that make it any less heinous? Walmart's hierarchy then was the same as it is now.

    As per usual the liberal retort of deflecting from the emphasis of what is being said. Moore is a boorish bloviating and disingenuous film maker. His films are NOT in any way documentaries...that's the point.

    Are you attempting here to claim that they are? That they are factual and compelling documentaries presenting facts so that viewers can make up their minds based on actualities and not propaganda?

    It's a shame the distributors of his tripe don't bother to fact check his crapumentaries before they release them.
    Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.

    I'm attempting nothing. I merely find it amusing that those who criticized Dodd for allegedly taking a sweetheart loan and holding TARP up as the end of the earth are now taking a contrary position in order to gotcha Moore. That leaves only the Walmart portion which is a true statement but does leave out the fact that after some years, they changed their policy. It was not a lie but did withold truth.
    Certainly you should be able to provide stronger evidence than that to back your conclusion.
    How consistent are you regarding ALL distortions by those presenting propaganda and not fact?

    The hypocrisy of the slobbering pig is astounding! I love the way his followers lap up his anti American anti capatilism propaganda seemingly blind to the fact that he is getting rich via capitalism....irony that!

    I wonder why this disingenuous piece of crap docudrama isn't being distributed and shown for "Free" to the masses? Or perhaps Mr. Moore is going to donate all profit to the poor???

    So essentially Moore's film is guilty of being in the can BEFORE certain events transpired. That makes his film DATED...and all dated films have facts in them that are changed through time.

    However, Moore's films usually have enough RELEVANT FACTS in them to make the status quo very nervous.....that coupled with his usual cheesy showmanship just downright pisses off his targets!

    I can't wait to see the film!

    Movies by a PINHEAD especially for the PINHEAD !

    So by all means, you shouldn't miss it...

    It doesn't contain any facts so there is no danger of "brain lock"
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    You must have seen it in order to claim it doesn't contain any facts, so I guess that makes you a PINHEAD.

    Good point. I have never seen an MM movie myself.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I used to like Michael Moore's television show. The episode where he went on a picnic and kite flying with Doctor Kevorkian was funny as hell. I liked Roger & Me, until I found out he actually had a meeting with Roger, WHILE making the movie. The there was Bowling for Columbine, so full of lies and bullshit as to be laughable. After that film, he lost me for good. Thankfully, I haven't paid to see one of his hackumentaries since R&M.

    i see his movies just for shits and giggles. I actually think moore is a pretty entertaining guy, views not withstanding. Bowling for columbine definitely assumed a lot of facts not in evidence though

    Not quite......I'll be the first to concede that Moore will get somethings wrong in his films...case in point saying a letter to the editor was actually a headline story (or something to that effect). Or trying to tie the death of a little girl to the late Charlton Heston's gunner rally.

    But the VAST majority of his films connect valid, documented facts with the words and actions of those involved....and THAT is what gets the neocon's knickers in a twist...because as we all know a picture is worth a thousand words.

    Beg to differ on Bowling for Columbine. A lot of dramatic cheese, but hardly as flawed as you make it out to be.

    I'm beginning to believe the guy is clinically fucking stupid.....I wonder if what you say here will actually register with him? It's painfully evident that my post didn't....but I forget he substitutes calling someone a "pinhead" for reading carefully and comprehensively....so much more to pity him for.
