You know what is covered (even if not all the issues) get ready to disect the lies now.

Maybe we could start a LumpyRiefenstahl-411 Michael Moore counter-information sidebar thread?

[xm177e2]

what Moore sees as the Bush Administration’s crimes and misdemeanors.

I didn't realize misdemeanors weren't crimes. If only I could have explained that to the judge...

[weegee]

The attacks allowed the President to push through Congress restrictive laws that would have been defeated in any climate but the “war on terror” chill.

Sort of like what Clinton did after OKC?

[LifeTrek]

Ever notice that these screaming fools always project their own flaws onto whomever they are attacking. For example the line that the President used 9/11 to advance his career....., hummmmm, wonder who really did that?

I understand that Moore also makes a big deal about Bush reading to schoolchildren after hearing about the attacks on 9/11. I wish somebody in the media would point out how Moore wrote a downright insane column right after 9/11, suggesting that the terrorists should have attacked the states that voted for Bush, instead of New York. Moore removed it from his website a short time afterwards. Anyhow, my point is that Moore should be the last person pointing fingers about anybody's immediate reaction to 9/11.

“Fahrenheit 9/11” is at its best when it provides talking points for the emerging majority of those opposed to the Iraq incursion.

If those talking points are false then they are propaganda designed to provide aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war (no excuse "I was just reporting the facts").

Here is a more explicit bit of treason from Michael Moore:

Michael Moore: Iraqi terrorists are "minutemen", American troops must shed blood

(April 14, 2004):The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?....I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle...the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.

I don't think I've ever seen a more obsequious review of a film in my life.

I note that absolutely zero attention seemed to be assigned to the credibility of his claims. Considering Moore's prior record, I find that jaw-dropping.

[Fraulein]

No mention of the Clinton administration, of course.

Michael Moore's new wardobe

[An.American.Expatriate]

Controversy aside, the new Michael Moore film is a fine documentary

Stopped reading here. Useless to continue.

One question - is this documentary as accurate and truthful as "Bowling for Columbine"? If so, the US can FORGET any "support" from our European "allies". The sheeple here actually believed EVERYTHING that was claimed in that POS movie.

[pepsi_junkie]

Last week, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited Iraq and, to the cheers of his military audience, defiantly called himself “a survivor” (a word traditionally reserved for those who have lived through the Holocaust or cancer, not for someone enduring political difficulties).

This unnecesary and totally ridiculous slap (survivor isnt some sacred word that must only be spoken in hushed tones, after all isnt there a major television franchise about people who never lived through the holocaust or cancer called....Survivor?) in an entertainment review shows you all you need to know about the politics of this jerk, and why he likes Moores movies.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

.....a benign peace group in Fresno, Cal., infiltrated by an undercover police agent.

Omigosh. That wouldn't be referring to you guys, would it?

One other thing -- Mary Corliss is married to Time's Richard Corliss. But I'm sure she got this gig on her own merits, right?

[Recovering_Democrat]

The movie, a brisk and entertaining indictment of the Bush Administration’s middle East policies before and after September 11, 2001, features new footage of abuse by U.S. soldiers: a Christmas Eve 2003 sortie in which Iraqi captives are publicly humiliated.

My oh my...what a coincidence CBS and the New Yorker got those Abu Ghraib photos when they did. What a coincidence, I say.

[sergeantdave]

New headline -

My Kneepads are for Clinton but Michael Moore Will Do

[Chieftain]

What a POS review. It is casual to the most obvious observer that TIME should be re-named, "The Slam Bush Times".
