Michael Moore Backpedals on Key Premise of Documentary

CNSNews.com also asked Moore about the Kerry campaign spokesman who described Moore as an "extremist" on Westwood One radio last week.

"Oh, he didn't say that," Moore responded as he began walking away. Moore has urged his fellow liberals to unite behind Kerry to defeat Bush.

When CNSNews.com read a direct quote from Kerry spokesman Chad Clanton describing Moore as an "extremist," the filmmaker finally shouted back, "I am an extremist -- at the box office."

And they keep on lying right up till they are caught... then pretend it does not matter in any case! This is very like Teressa Heinz.

Deny and bluster right up till it is quoted back at you then shout an insult and walk away. They think nothing about lying, they are only concerned about being caught.

Yes, but will this retraction make the front page of the New Yawk Times, or the be lead-off story on NBCCBSABCCNNHARDBALL?

"These lefties lie like children."

No, they lie like crack whore junkies who have zero conscience. Children have an excuse, immaturity.

[Yardstick]

Right -- Teresa's lie about saying "un-American" was the first thing that came to mind. The Dems lie so much that the media and many Americans have become desensitized to it. It's just not news anymore when a Democrat lies.

[Corin Stormhands]

Does he "beep" when he backs up like one of those wide-@$$ trucks?

[Mike1973]

Well when so many people come out and tell the public that Moore is lying, he has to do something. And of course, that something is not to admit that he was wrong, but to spin it.

"I am an extremist -- at the box office."

Yep. Extremely good at using lies on film.

If Mr. Moore makes a mistake, what does that make him?

An even bigger pig?

[NormsRevenge]

[Badeye]

"So if Mr. Bush makes a mistake, that makes him a liar. If Mr. Moore makes a mistake, what does that make him?"

A Liberal.....

Too bad Bill O'Reilly wasn't up to the task yesterday!

I've been reading the thread about MM going to Crawford (tonight) to show his film there in the football parking lot.

MM has apparently been advised that a trip to Texas wouldn't be prudent: Michael Moore Backing Out Of Central Texas Appearance? (pile of "stuff" deposited at theater...)

FGS

[Logical me]

I was very disappointed in O'Reilly. He sure must have been tired and had a throat problem, maybe that's why he dropped the ball. Moore just ran over him.

[TexasCajun]

Note to O'Reilly:

Pls don't embarrass yourself by interviewing Stewart Smalley, aka Al Franken.

If you let Michael Moore mop the floor with you, I'd hate to see what Al Franken would do. Geezzz.

[atomicpossum]

"I am an extremist -- at the box office."

No, Michael, only at Krispy Kreme.

[Billie]

Thanks - I've been skipping around this afternoon, reading all the MM threads and the Drudge report about Kerry re-enacting his Vietnam tour!!!!! Lots of 'good stuff' on FR - hard to keep up! LOL

[TruBluKentuckian]

But but but... didn't Moore himself, just last night on O'Reilly, say that if you say something that isn't true it's a lie even if you believe it to be true? He called himself a liar.

I'm surprised there's enough room in that tub of lard to physically allow that to happen.
