Michael Moore's anti-war protest against Bush at the Oscars?

Post-9/11 Era Forum

Michael Moore's anti-war protest against Bush at the Oscars: American hero or American villain?

And he's also making a film about Bush and Bin Laden and the 9-11 attack. I haven't seen Columbine but it's impact around the world means, as a documentary film maker, he has a very high profile and people will go to see the film in large numbers.

based upon his Columbine movie, the TRUTH will definitely be missing from his next movie. his editing skills violated the documentary category, so much that the academy is now in a pickle- do they pull the oscar (not in our lifetime) or continue to allow violations , thus denegrating the category. he's the oliver stone of documentaries- never mind the truth, just make it to match what i want it to say! maybe it should win the fantasy category- but then you'll believe what you want to- no sense in learning the truth, right?

Michael Moore: A psychological analysis.

Discussing this man brings the bile up in the back of my throat.
Moore watch

i've never seen 'bowling for columbine,' but i'am willing to bet the accusations of him forging parts of the documentary are just a couple of pissed off, obsessive pro-war people.

i have absolutely nothing against the guy, nor his comments, i just think he has no idea what he's talking about.

Before you posted the Moorewatch link did you look round the site. I can't be bothered trawling through such a badly laid out page. If you've actually got anything on Moore please post the important bits here and I'll be quite happy to read them.

um..you started this thread. you should know 'the important bits.' if not then you should have made this thread a 'work in progress' and kept it to yourself until you knew 'the important bits.'

I always crack up with posters using this... Like this brings some sembelence of high ground understanding of the issue at hand. Maybe you should try more substance of opinion and a little less cartoon rebuttal.

I would be interested to hear a single piece of evidence that contradicts anything that is said in bowling for columbine. For instance, what is your opinion on that deplorable little man Charlton Heston talking in Denver 2 weeks after the massacre?. I spose you will be pointing out just how "free" those 12 students were. I wish I could be so "free".

For all of the predictable anti Moore, anti bowling sentiment that is put out, I still have to hear a single contradictory fact about any points he has made.

yea, and regarding your all-knowing statements, here's a tip:

Here it is.....all laid out for you

Here....I did the hard work for you.

Or try this one.....

I have seen Bowling for colombine and i found it a very interesting documentary, very informative.

Althought the conclussions are questionable, he points some worring trends of the american society. There are lots of facts on this film that question some of the most rancid values of the american society. This is the reason why so many people here hate him, it is normal, if someone touches the sure pot, people who can accept this reality will react against focusing on the man or institution which has brocken their mental schemes. in this case it is Michael Moore. this is a repetitive trend in history.

about his nexst film...lets see it. If it is well documented and points some credible responasabilities it will be very interesting and will open some investigation lines, if it becomes only a panflet against bush and his administration...then he will lose a lot of the respectability he has won with Bowling.

um....did anyone notice that moore is a member of the nra?

Q. Are you really a member of the NRA?
A. Yes. I currently hold a "Life Membership." I was a junior member and won the NRA Marksman Award when I was a teenager (back when the NRA was known as a gun safety and sportsman organization). I went hunting with the neighborhood kids but there were never any guns in our house. After Columbine, I decided that I would run against Charlton Heston for the presidency of the NRA. If elected, my plan was to try to return the NRA to a gun safety organization, instead of its current agenda of gun fanaticism. The rules said that to run for president, you had to be a member for the past five years or buy a lifetime membership for $750. And that's what I did. But after a while I realized this endeavor was going to take too much time, so I decided to focus all my attention on the movie I was making.

---------------------------

and he wanted to be president?

does anyone else see a problem here? oh...wait, it would be o.k because he would have made it into a 'gun safety organization' right?

unbelievable.

well like i said, i thought the evidence against moore's documentary was probably just exagerated...

but i'am glad you supplied that link gdog.

some very interesting points in there, which i'am sure moore is not happy about.

why would it be a question...what the hell are you talking about?
Tip no. 2: read more carefully and then take your time when writing replies so that you can understand more and make yourself understood.

you implied someone was ignorant because they went to a michael moore website to learn something.
re-read the post more carefully. I said, "you have to read the Moorewatch site to know whether there's anything resembling the truth on it" Implication: they haven't read the site.

before that, you told someone to go watch a michael moore movie to learn something.
Yes I did.

so...to learn something..people should watch michael moore's movies...but if they want to learn about michael moore and they utilize a website, they're stupid.
Try to concentrate.

are you still high from the crank you took last night?
I only do coke, it's the real thing.

Moore pic......

Another....

try david t. hardy site- for facts, well at least about moores editing scheme.

WOW scott, you have alot of passion for this subject. Very little insight, but lots of passion.
It does make me wonder how you became this interested in my second amendment rights, seeing as, if my guess is right, you have no personal experience with guns, gun ownership, or any real grasp of American way of life other than what Michael Moore tells you, or television or internet.

Your arguments are too ponderous to answer here ( you're pretty uninformed), So Im starting a new thread which will outline the NRA and the second amendment. As a life member of NRA, I naturally take alot of offense to your "inbred", "contemptable", and other assorted slanders you throw about. I dont blame you, you're just a person of passion, regurgitating information that was presented to you as fact, and you took it to heart that this was the true finished project. My opinion is you were badly misled.

Please look over my thread when it appears (hopefully later today). This should answer most of your questions. I dont expect to convert you, but if you choose to debate this in the future, you should at least have some basic facts from someone, who is part of the organization you villify, and someone who ACTUALLY lives in America, and owns guns.
