That's the Dems problem. We apologize. "Oh, sorry to ruffle your feathers." "Beg your pardon, but you're stepping on my rights." The Neo-Cons don't apologize. Ever. I'll be damned if I feel sorry for pointing out the obvious. Oh and anyone making fat jokes about Moore - it just shows you don't have a real argument. Resorting to name calling will really get me to listen your point of view. Moore's belly is the size of Rove's forehead.

If we are going to accuse Bush of lying then why celebrate a fellow liar like Michael Moore? He has made a career out of editing footage together to his advantage. Most of his documentaries can be easily torn apart with just a little research. Anyone who treats his shit as fact obviously isn't thinking for themselves, or looking into it. Anyone seen "Michael Moore Hates America?"

Why, so many americans seem to hate Michael Moore. At least he's up trying to do something about an issue he believes in, regardless of his tactics or tricky editing. There is alot worse out there to hate. Though I guess, 1 Michael Moore film is to neocons what 10 seconds of Fox News is to libs.

"At least he's up trying to do something about an issue he believes in, regardless of his tactics or tricky editing" Uh, yeah. That's just it in a nutshell. It's Bush we're talking about here, the last thing you need is tricky editing and tactics to make him look bad, yet Moore relies on it with every single one of his films.

and all you haters ought to get a frakking camera and make your own doc. a suggestion tho - don't think you're being clever by making michael moore your subject matter. 1. it's been done. 2. he's really just the messenger. 3. if you think he's so frakking full of it, do your doc about how bush was right to lie us into war on borrowed chinese money, tear up the constitution AND the magna carta, and borrow from the chinese to pay the arabs so we the people can rack up record debt while exxon-mobil racks up record profits, halliburton racks up no-bid contracts to give our troops sewer water to bathe in and drink (through subsidiary kbr), and our neglected infrastructure crumbles. and now that i've gone this far, i realize i've just started. a movie, hell, moore could pull a ken burns with this material and have enough left over for a couple of sequels.

Michael Moore's films are great if you are a liberal because its a platform for you to agree with. For the rest of us, it's pretty much propaganda. It's well documented that the man will do everything in his power to get his films made and seen, even if that means lying to the American public. Take this talkback. As far as I can tell I'm the lone Conservative. I'm keeping it logical and calm. Then there are the rest of you with your FUCK WINGNUTS. Typical liberal reaction. It's funny, because you love to watch his movies, but some of the people in his movies feel victimized and mislead after seeing the finished product. I'm not here to defend Bush, because I am sure we would agree on a lot of what is said, but wow, like I said before, only a coward would twist the facts to make him look worse.

to find an entire list of Moore's bullshit lies. My favorite has to be the following from "bowling for columbine..." "LIE: Moore sympathizes with the "little boy" at Buell Elementary in Michigan who just found a gun in his uncle's house and took it to school to kill a girl. Moore says "No one knew why the little boy wanted to shoot the little girl". (TRUTH: The "little boy" was the class bully and was already suspended for stabbing another child with a pencil. Since that incident, the "little boy" also stabbed another kid with a knife. Also- the "uncle's house" was a neighborhood crack house. The uncle and the "little boy's" father were, at the time, serving time for theft and cocaine possession. His aunt earned her living from drug dealing. The gun was stolen by one of the uncle's customers and purchased by him in exchange for drugs." And we gave him an Oscar? Now Bacci40, I'd ask you if you knew what a documentary was, but you'd just call me an idiot and cling to your copy of "The Inconvenient Truth." So I did the work for you. A documentary is: Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film. So using your crayon, please show us all how Moore makes "documentaries?"

I'm being truthful here. I'm not a guy who works in Hollywood, nor do I pretend to be. If you do, then hey, good for you. Never said I was right, but then again, I never said that all of Hollywood was liberal in the first place. I think the confusion comes into play when you have people, like John Cusack, who are involved with Hollywood come out and give their opinions. I'd say a majority of celebs that speak out happen to be liberal. Do you disagree?

Seriously? I heard that there are liberals in Hollywood? You heard? From who? There are liberals everywhere! In every city and every state!!! CA is really liberal. That is a typical statement from a typical yokel who has never left his zip code. Do you think we're all running around smoking crack with prostitutes and having abortions in the street? Gee, Conservatives never fuck up. They never do drugs (bush) get divorced (McCain) have affairs (Gingrich) and neither do their constituents. There are no signs of drugs, sex or crime in ANY of the Conservative Southern states. That's why Hollywood tapes COPS there. Morons. The only problem with democracy is that EVERYONE gets to vote, event the idiots.

I've gotten my perception from just what you've shown so far, which is a lot of anger, an unwillingness to answer questions without being a complete and total fuckhead, and the comfort of being able to hide behind your keyboard. Your accusations on me? Not sure where you came up with those. You also didn't answer my second question, so I'll ask again. Why is it bad that Bush lies to the United States, but it's okay that Michael Moore lies to the world? Let's see how many four letter words you can leave out this time.

in regards to bowling for columbine,and that one specific story, you (and whatever moore hater sight) got the point wrong...it wasnt that no one knew why the kid killed the little girl, it was that the system failed the mother and the boy...the mother was taken off the welfare rolls, and put on a work program...where she had to go by bus miles to work a minimum wage job...so she had to leave the boy in that crack house...the system failed because there was no day care, affordable housing or a real job program...the system failed because nobody saw that the kid had serious problems and needed help...bullies arent born, they are created...but of course, you are a thinking conservative and you already know that...just as you know that if we ended the drug war tomorrow, and treated it as it should be, a health problem, not a legal problem, we would be saving billions of dollars a year in manpower. and would open many more jail cells for the real criminals...like scooter libby...a traitor to his nation...or like karl rove...a fat closet gay traitor to his nation...

I think we have a miscommunication, and it's okay, I'll take the responsibility on this one. What I should have said was that I believe a majority of Hollywood are made up of liberals. I gave a clear example of one way to come to that conclusion. You made yourself look ignorant with your response. Liberals in Hollywood their own website. thehollywoodliberal.com I don't see one for Conservatives. I also am well aware that people are mixed everywhere, but at this point you have yet to show me that I was wrong when I said that Hollywood may be made up primarily of Liberals.

im sorry, but when someone says, prove to me that the bush administration has behaved in a criminal manner, it just means that for the past 8 years, that person has closed his eyes and ears to reality, and that is when i choose to no longer engage in "mature discussion" its like the argument i had today with a client, who asked me why is was still for obama, after the whole wright thing...i asked that person, if they had sat down and listened to all the sermons wright has ever given...that person said to me, no, but ive heard his statements...statements taken out of context, but when placed within the full 45 minutes of a sermon, come out totally differently...for that, i can not have a mature discussion...for i cannot sit and talk to people who remain purposefully ignorant, just so that its ok for them to hate...its like discussing anything with a person who still believes that hussein had something to do with 9/11 and al quaida..which apparently at least 30 percent of your ignorant ilk still does...i have neither the time, nor the inclination to engage in rational conversation with the ignorant and irrational

Now we're getting somewhere. I'm damn proud of you. So, I asked you to explain your reasoning, or provide evidence for making a statement regarding the Criminal Organization. I never said prove. You through a hissy fit for nothing, big guy. You also make a valid point about Wright. Most people don't know their ass from a hole in the ground on that issue. I'm not one of those people. I've seen the full speeches. I made it a point to. Think for yourself, remember? And I still think Wright is a nutjob. Anyone who thinks AIDS was created to kill black people is a nutcase. I put him on the same level with those who think Bush id 9/11. Interesting theory, but that is all it is. I like Obama. You assumed that I did not. I think the man needs to elaborate on change a little, but other than that, distancing himself from Wright the way he did was beautiful, and probably just what he needed to give Hill-Dawg a political smackdown. So you and I agree 100% on that issue.

Producing a poor documentary is not entertainment.

I have no problem with someone speaking out for/against a situation. Good for Moore or for anyone for that matter. The thing that bothers many people is that he has been proven that he has lied to try to get his point across. Sticking to the facts would have made his arugument more stronger. Lying to people about important items is not enteretainment. I find it sad.

Also, sometimes Bush can be just as enteretaining as Moore.:)

Moore just states the obvious really. Bush is a lame duck president surrounded by the wreckage of a country that was doing quite well before he got in. What Moore's belly has to do with economic mismanagement, invading iraq, or any other Bush screwup is beyond me.

I agree that Moore states the obvious, but only to informed people. In a nation where even a minority believe Saddam had WMDs (and a few of them inhabit these talkbacks, to my everlasting bewilderment), the obvious truth still eludes the ignorant.

Yes, but none of the theorists hold Bush personally "responsible". The full truth of 9/11 is still a mystery. The Commission Report was a whitewash. Bush and Cheney refused to testify under oath, allowing themselves only to be questioned together, and behind closed doors. Surely you believe the country is owed a more conclusive investigation than the one we got? Even a thorough forensic investigation was prevented with the remains of WTC shipped off to China as scrap within days of the event.

I should have said that "our" government was responsible, and not Bush alone. I just think the theory provided in the film has been shot down. Sure, a better investigation would have been nice, and maybe one day we will know the truth. I just think that teaching any "reason" for 9/11 at this point is just irresponsible because you are right, it is still a mystery.

Moore should do a movie on how McCain has sold his soul and compromised most of his "maverick" philosophies just to pander to the wingnuts who still think Bush is a good ol' boy.

The next response is "There were no WMDs in Iraq". Who was the first person heard to talk about WMDs? Your beloved president Bill Clinton! He announced that Saddam had weapons and was a threat to the world and needed to be taken out of the equation. The second person preaching about WMDs was Saddam himself. remember the speech about how he is prepared to use his full chemical and biological arsenal if we attached? The man nerve-gassed his own people, I think I would take him serious! Then we hear about "Halliburton!" Out of all the companies who could do the job in Iraq, on the scale and time frame involved...there were 2. Halliburton and Schlumberger, a french company. And with France's stance on the war, which do you think would have got picked? But these are FACTS, never mind...liberals don't use them!

Fahrvenugen 9/11 was hugely profitable for more, in every way . . . but especially in the financial way. Nothing else he has done as come close. Sure, he might have made a few bills on Sicko--a few--but Fahrenheit 9/11 is what keeps him in the bling while he's rolling in the Escalade. But I think he caught lightning in a bottle, there, and F9/11 Volume 2 won't do the kind of business the first one did. Still, it could be a nice piece of scratch. I can see why he'd do it.

The Problem With Democrats is they Apologize too Much?

Whoever said that should lay off the crack and get high on life.

Otherwise, they play as hardball and down and dirty as party ever has. Apologies are not the problem. Although I do agree with the sentiment that there's no reason to apologize for the onslaught of liberalism on an entertainment sight, as, naturally, in an industry about creativity and imagination and making up things that have nothing to do with reality, of course there are going to be a lot of liberals in that industry. Just saying.

which would be "op-ed pieces," not "documentaries." I enjoy Moore's films, but to call them 100% straight truth or unbiased journalism is irresponsible on our part as an audience and is akin to saying "it's true because the TV said so." If anything, Moore's a great op-ed writer who was given a camera to help make his point. There's nothing wrong with having your own views or sharing them - but that's not what a true documentary should do. Watch "Capturing the Friedmans" for a great documentary - no one side is picked, leaving the viewer to decide the truth or, more importantly, encouraging said viewer to study more themselves to make their own opinion. If more people would do that with Moore's films, instead of taking the lazy "it's true because he said so" approach, these talkbacks would be less flaming, methinks! As always, think for yourself, not the way some dude with a camera tells you to, folks!
How Do We Know Bush Is Lying?
by Hawaiian Organ Donor
May 14th, 2008
08:12:21 AM
It's whenever he opens his mouth.

Seriously, what's with all the conservative folk asking for proof about Bush's lies? Convincing us to invade Iraq was nothing but lies. The vial? Yellow cake? Artists rendering of mobile labs? All lies. Doesn't matter if some of the intelligence came from the British, it was B.S. intelligence and the CIA knew it. But since people have short memories, let's take a stroll down W's greatest hits.

"By the year 2042, the entire social security system would be exhausted and bankrupt." Wrong. Even if we don't do anything to change the current system, 3/4 of the funds will still be available to Americans come 2042.

President Bush has said Thursday that Iran has declared that it wants to be a nuclear power with a weapon to destroy people, namely Israel. Wrong. National Intelligence Estimates concluded last year that Iran stopped it's weapons program in 2003. So that's twice Bushie has ignored the intelligence his own government has provided him.

And then there's the whole SCHIP debate in which Bush made it appear as if only yuppie children rolling around at night in bedsheets composed of $100 bills would be benefiting the most. That claim was debunked time and time again, but the damage had already been done.

If you want more of Bush's lies, look them up, they're everywhere.

And then of course there are the people in his administration. Every press secretary from McLellan to Perino gives briefings that are rife with lies or half-truths. And we all know that Rummy, Cheney, Rice, Wolfowitz, et al can't go five minutes without spinning a fantastic yarn. They combined for 935 false statements (compiled by the Center for Public Integrity) about the security risk posed by Iraq leading up to the war.

And if you're still going to delude yourself and claim eveything Bush says is distorted by the liberal media, then let's at least admit he's even more disingenuous than Gore or Michael Moore with his monkeyshines shenanigans. Recently he told a reporter, "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal." So that's his big sacrifice? Jesus Christ on a cracker, Mr. President, are you OK? I mean, after a 5 year hiatus, what's that going to do to your golf swing? How's about attending a funeral from time to time or greeting some of the caskets as they arrive back home? Or maybe not taking a vacation while one of our cities is sinking? Or maybe, just maybe, refusing to bill taxpayers for your medical expenses and making public the receipt where you paid out of your very own pocket?

This cocksucker is more disingenuous than Larry Craig at an anti-gay and lesbian rally.

And the liberal media? OK, you're right, the media is sooooo freaking liberal. Everyday I turn it on I see CNN, ABC and NBC hammering John McCain over his daily gaffes and I just can't watch them browbeat that sweet old man anymore.

And don't even bring up those jerkoff Democrats. Those spineless pricks didn't have the cojones to vote against the war back in 2003 because they saw the country was behind Bush and they didn't want to risk losing votes in the next election. Everyone that voted for it can rot in hell next to Bush and his clan.

Concerning Michael Moore, indeed he twists things around for his own agenda. More times than not he can be a douche. But at least he's trying to open people's eyes to the reality that Bush & Co. completely pulled the wool over our eyes by convincing us to invade Iraq, that our healthcare system is bleeding out and needs a complete overhaul and that corporations have a diseased mentality where they would rather kill people with their product and face a lawsuit they won't ever have to pay out rather than soak up the cost of a recall. His methods may sometimes suck, but if it gets a person fired up enough to go do their own research, then Moore did his job.

I really appreciate what he has been doing with his movies. Like Quint said, he is just preaching to the choir here too. The thing that I do not like about him is that he does not get "hardcore" with his facts and does not take things deeper than they should go. He has Hollywoodized the conspiracy backlot and you just can't do that. Especially when most idiots do not give any creed (bad band) to Conspiracy any way. Most people ignore or discount CT because they are fat minded, fat lazy American's who don't give a shit. You retards who fall into this category could not possibly wrap your American Idol brains around anything that is being told to you. Let's put it this way, alot of you are in for a very bad morning one day. You know what? I've come to not care about how most you tards feel about the situation in this country because you're all a bunch of followers anyway who think that you control your own thoughts. So go to the theater and wallow in your Batman Begins while you sit on your fat asses and consume bad entertainment and bad food. It's all good as far as you're concerned. P.S. I would have taken the same amount of time to write about something that would actually help you learn something but you would read it as an insult. So why not just insult you?

Heston took chances that no one else would take that would jeapordize his career.

Ronald Reagan was one of the most beloved presidents this country ever had ranking only second to Abraham Lincoln. So rant all you want and when the day is done and over, the names Charleton Heston and Ronald Reagan will live on in history for centuries with their accomplishments, whereas Bacci40 and your inane quips on a movie site talkback don't mean a hill of beans at all in the grand scale of things.

Somebody earlier mentioned the Wright comment and how the gov't created AIDs to eradicate black people. Now, I don't know about you but if you think about Wrights comments, the black community should be far more insulted/inflamed by Wright then they are. To me, if I were a black person, I would read this as Wright saying we aren't responsible enough in our sexual habits and drug use to limit the spreading of AIDs. I know statistics don't exactly deny this compared to the general population but wow, this really puts Wright on the same victimization, non pulling yourself up by the bootstraps ideology, of Jackson and Sharpton, which I firmly believe does far more damage to the black experience and ability to succeed in society..... That's it, just thought that was interesting. Not heading down the Bush/Moore path, been done tooooooo many times.

You big oil bashers should look into the profitability of hedgefund companies and private equity if you want to talk about REAL profits. Sure in pure dollars, oil companies look more impressive but that's just because they are larger companies. Profits in the 7-10% range are NOTHING compared to the alternative and private investment world. Regulation is a joke and the managers take home BILLIONs individually. Probably somewhat deserved because they deliver huge profits to their clients. What's driving alot of the economic turmoil right now is the collapse of a lot of these complex investment products built on huge leverage.... And no Bush didn't cause this to your great chagrin. I wouldn't exactly say he has become the great regulator, but merely maintained the status quo as these products became more sophisticated and far more profitable creating immeasurable greed. While I love capitalism, I can't deny it doesn't foster greed, especially by those that are able to take advantage of it. Have a great one.

"Democrats had to approve this package for it to go through. So blame can go all around."

Agreed. Toss them out of a plane with a backpack full of silver spoons. The spineless Dems just had to give into our idiot President one more time. Jebus forbid they vote against it knowing full well we're borrowing the money and adding it to our already eye-popping tab. Talk about a check you wish you could skip out on.

But voting against the stimulus checks would have angered all us consumers because we got's to get paid, regardless of where the money comes from.

I swear, you could tell an average American that in order from them to get their check a child in Africa has to die and they'd tell you to stop your flappin' and git to signin'.

You know, I don't question Moore's patriotism like some others tend to do. He's free to make whatever movies he wants. But, after watching the first F-9/11, I don't need to see another overwrought, sensationalized hit piece that barks up the wrong tree. (Especially if he's going to try and go down the proverbial rabbit-hole that the far, nutjob Left expects him to do.) Everyone should just do themselves a favor and watch films like NO END IN SIGHT or any one of the FRONTLINE documentaries. I'd rather see Moore concentrate on issues such as health care where I find him much more effective.

The argument that the President is THE FINAL Desision maker of all policy is completely true. There's no arguing that. However, my problem with Stalkeye is his language in his post. He wants to lay all the problems with the President. And that's not entirely fair. Blame can be layed on other people too. Though most will just blame the President. Also, by you calling me an "idiot" I must have really struck a nerve. I don't know why. I just said it will be months before we know whether the Stimulus Package worked or not... FACT. And then also said he was a Bush hater, but gave evidence why. And lastly I said that blame can be given to others than the President...FACT. So why am I an "idiot"?

Oil Profits & MJAYACE
by chewyou812
May 14th, 2008
09:16:16 AM
I'll give you that the hedge funds bring in higher percentage profits than the oil companies. But does that mean that the activities of the oil companies is not criminal? When a refinery catches fire in Texas, they raise prices to "compensate" for their losses and yet instead of their profits maintaing an equal level of profit to the last quarter, they escelate. And while "W" may not be the sole cause of the rising fuel prices, his foriegn policy is constantly giving the industry excuses to raise prices and his domestic policies have led to a weakening dollar which is a key contributor to our ever rising gas prices.

Under Reagan prisons filled with blacks more than ever, partly by villifying crack-use and other urban crimes moreso than the crimes whites tended to commit. Wright's words, although they may be over-the-top in delivery, are not inaccurate.

I know that it is vogue to criticize Bush. And I believe that he deserves the ridicule. However, we need to open our minds to the possibility that the problems with the governance of the USA lies in the machinations of the Power Elite. There actions are motivated by consolidating power and wealth. This is done under the pretext of Freedom, Democracy, Defense etc... How is this proved? Simple: By their actions. They talk about Human Rights violations in Burma, Timor, Sudan, and yet remain silent on the genocide of Palestinians by Israel. They talk about fiscal responsibility and then give Big Business (see Oil Companies) big tax breaks. They talk about democracy in the Mid East, and then tear up the Constitution of the US and destabilize the balance of power between the Congress, Executive Branch, and Supreme Court. My conclusion? Terrorism, Radical Islam, China, Environment, are all pretexts for domination.

Chewyou: Oil prices and criminal activity
by MJAYACE
May 14th, 2008
09:38:25 AM
As a blanket statement, I would say that oil companies don't engage in criminal activities anymore than any other companies. Actually, oil companies and other like industries face far more regulation then the aforementioned private/alternative investment realm. As far as prices, wow, where to begin. I acknowledge that turmoil in the middle east is one contributing factor to higher prices (whether that we would have less/more turmoil there with/without Bush is a far longer debate and one I view as a pot that has finally boiled over--thus was bound to happen). We in the US have also been spoiled by relatively low prices for a long time (compared to rest of world). our economy is also somewhat based on these lower prices and the "travel" economy (suburbs, long haul trucks, tourism, etc). Exponentially increased demand by developing nations like China and India have also added to the oil price increase. Weakening dollar is a catch 22: we raise interest rates to curb inflation, keep dollar higher, stock market goes down, greater imports, jobs loss, recession, etc. We could lower rates to stave off inflation, keep market's higher, more jobs, spur inflation not kept in check, dollar weakens, etc. Fed chose to lower rates, they fear recession and negative stock market more than inflation, weak dollar. This also relates to paygo mentality of most politicians (in past, present and future): lets pay for things as we go (a lot of time through borrowing) and put off most of the pain for future generations (see deficit spending, national debt, social security, welfare, healthcare, etc.) What's the solution? A lot of pain: less gov't spending or higher taxation, less benefits, more development and evolution of our economy and world. Good discussion.

What you all are saying is nothing new. Haves and Have Nots have been the case since civilization began. You can either be/are a have and try to keep being a have; or be/are a have not, live and die that way, or fight your way into being a have. Whoever said life was fair? The US in its storied history (yes I am biased) is probably the closest realization to balancing this inequality through personal achievement rather than forced (see communism/socialism) equality with its problems, but there are STILL haves and have nots. But the have nots in America live a 1000 times better on average than the have nots in Darfur, North Korea, etc. So that says something to the system. Of course there is still a Power Elite, there were also Kings, Emperors, Prime Ministers, Presidents, and all their cronies trying to get their favor in every society in history.

So yes, while what some of us are saying is nothing new, it is in the sense that it has been re-fashioned and it's also new in the sense that people have forgotten through through store bought ideas.

Its just our generation catching its stride, world political savvy, understanding reality, and complaining about it. You don't think there wasn't a consolidation of power and wealth a generation ( or even a couple) ago? Ever hear the names Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Kennedy family, etc and all their associated political influences? That's just a small recoginizable example. It is the same, it has been the same, and will be the same. What has changed is our lifestyles, especially in the middle class. EG. We once had one crappy color/BW TV, now we have five. We once were happy with the crappy american model car, now everyone must drive a lexus. Consumerism is fueling our desire to be a have and have more, we notice it and desire more, and are not satified with what we have and feeling wronged. Final quick example, if you brought a family from Darfur over here and put them in a crappy house (with electricity, water, and satellite TV), and gave them $1500 bucks a month to live off of they would feel like they were in Heaven and likely not complain too much.

And conservatives who go on and on about liberals spewing hate and conveniently forget about people like Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, Coulter, Limbaugh, Malkin, Boortz, Drudge, Medved, Schlessinger, Robertson, Nugent, Ingraham, Savage, Bohannon, Cunningham and Carlson are but just a few of the conservative talking heads who deliver hate-filled rhetoric toward the left and lower class day in and day out. And nobody slings homophobia (I'm looking at you Reps. Kern and Santorum) quite like a Republican politician.

There's no denying that there aren't crazies on the left, but to claim that the right is free from insults and hate speech is a crock because we all know damn well that the right nutjobs outnumber the left nutjobs by 2 to 1. Just go to an actual political website forum to find out.
