Michael Moore is always seen as one sided by those who don't read his books or movies. Is he very opinionated, yes. Do you have to look through a few things, yes. However facts are facts and he uses them to his advantage. In "Stupid White Guys" he goes on for quite some length blasting Clinton and Gore for their mistakes too. He's not a hardcore Liberal, he's just completely anti-bush, which isn't an uncommon sentiment.
I haven't gotten to it yet, but I plan on going this weekend. From what I hear it shows real war footage, the dead children in the orphanages and weddings we bomb. If you don't want to see that, perhaps you shouldn't support doing it.

do u know what would happen if every president sued someone for slander? there'd probably be thousands of people sued each term if not each year. I probably wouldn't worry about sueing either cuz that would mean I'm stooping to their level and giving them the satisfaction that they got to me. it'd also add more hype to something that probably wouldn't be getting anywhere near the same reaction if it wasn't coming out so close to the presidential election.
I said I for one don't know what of all the things moore says r lies or the truth and none of us r ever gonna know every detail. I'm not the biggest Bush suppporter, but in my mind he was the lesser of two evils between him and Gore and now him and Kerry. Gore honest to god scared me with his robotic reactions and he and Clinton's whittling down of the military and our intelligence groups. and I believe if he'd been president during 9/11, we as a nation would have fallen into complete dissiray and as much as some people probably don't like admitting it, Bush provided a reassuring voice to help keep the nation strong. And now all I hear from the news about kerry is him talking about problems he see's with Bush as president, but yet no solutions to fix said problems. He never really seems to take a solid stand on many of the important issues. I would like to hear him talk about programs and steps he'd take to fix some of the things wrong with the country but like I said all I hear him say seems like adult versions of name calling on the playground.
and why would I want to see footage of these bombings? does he have footage of all of the mass graves found in iraq or the torture sessions? and let's not forget that the militants and terrorist groups in Iraq have been using heavily populated areas to hide in as well as using women and children as shields. is there gonna be a movie about that?
I believed in getting saddam out of there and while I'd have prefered it didn't have to come as a result of war, it did so I supported our troops. so I guess we should have let saddam keep killing and supressing his own people and hope that he suddenly comes to his senses.
I don't remember anyone talking about the intelligence russian president putin, who was against the iraq war, said that they'd gotten info that saddam's regime had made plans to attack both civilian and military targets of the US.

and now there is Iraqi intelligence from the mid 90's of contact between Saddam and Osama in an attempt to attack the ruling Saudi family. I realize that's almost a decade ago and plots against another country, but there r atleast some ties between the two "men" which a lot of people have strongly argued against. I'm not saying they were co-criminal masterminds/psychopaths, but there r connections people can't deny now if this evidence holds up.

hardly anything is cut and dry no matter how much some people on either sides of various topics may wish it to be. I for one hope I stay in the middle like I am now cuz I try to see the strength and weaknesses of both sides of both the problem and the required solution/s. I'm praying for the day that there is a real candidate that isn't set towards one side of the line's mindset. and angry voters with blinders on isn't the answer. intelligent voting is. I 2 like challenging authority to right wrongs and fix problems within the system and hopefully one day there will be someone who is willing to do that from the inside.
