I just saw the film, a friend had downloaded a video camera capture.
What a terrible film. Every "fact" was an intentional distortion.
The only way you can use the name Mike Moore and Exercise in the same sentence, is to say his film is an exercise in pure propaganda.
Anyone else seen it?
The one word description I can apply to it is "deceitful."
Read and bookmarked. You've done it again, CBB. Keep kickin'!
Not only have they not moved to "publicly denounce" it, many of them have publicly embraced it.
One need go no further to demonstrate the existing corruption in our body politic which exists on the Left.
The difference between now and 1964 is that Johnson was so far in front of Goldwater that the median and the rest of the democrats knew there was no risk to 'the cause' from criticizing Johnson--and that, anyway, by creating a controversy, the would create a situation where the press could play the ad over and over while they were criticizing it. So they were making Johnson's point, such as it was, anyway.
Today, every tenth of a percent counts. I have been watching elections and election coverage since 1960. It is always slanted to the left. But this year, the press and the rest of the left has pulled out all the stops. I've never seen anything like it. What's amazing is that the President is even with Kerry after at least a half a billion dollars in free advertising for Kerry. This year, no lie is too big and no tactic too low. I predict record vote fraud.
Excellent, Congressman!
Propaganda is a huge problem in this country because there are so many gullible and politically lazy people which liberals like Moore prey on. Modern dems use the Big Lie well and even a sloppy movie like this will make some converts. This bastardization of truth is the number one thing conservatives have to work against and try to impact and correct or the other things we do won't be effective.
Later read. Happy Independence Day to all.
I was living in Arizona in 1964 and actually saw the picking daisies ad. My dad said "What a load of B---S---" which was the first time I ever heard that word :}
Nice essay as always, sir. Good enough to share with the in-laws.
Cordially,

I was in the middle of that case, and filed the only brief which got the answer right on Round I: the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court to strike, or vacate, the first decision of the Florida Supreme Court.Well said!
On the first go, the US Supreme Court spoke to the Florida Supreme Court like a teacher to a poor student - “I won’t grade this assignment. Do it over.” A careful student in that situation would see the handwriting on the wall. The Florida Supreme Court was not careful. Its rewritten decision was 4-3, with its Chief Judge in the minority warning his colleagues that the US Supreme Court would not tolerate what it was doing, which was to rewrite the Florida election laws after the election, contrary to the US Constitution.
The vote on the US Supreme Court was 7-2 that the Florida Supreme Court had violated the Constitution. Careless members of the press (a majority), and malicious Democrats (Michael Moore and Terry McAuliffe come to mind), call this “a 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court.” That was the vote on the correct remedy to apply; however, anyone who can read and count can see that seven Justices, not five, found that the Florida court violated the Constitution.
The second part of the “Gore won” lie is the claim that had the vote count continued, Gore would have won Florida and thereby won the Presidency. There were three official recounts in Florida. Gore lost all of those.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Let us add schlock to describe this docudrama for the mentally inert and plagiarist to describe the amply bulbous Moore and his vacuous gibberish.
Errol Morris, the docudrama schlockmeister who did The Fog of War, is also planning a hysterical attack on Dubya...

Nicely done, Congressman. Your literary torpedo is running hot, straight and normal.
