Half the comments I've seen on Moore's film "Bowling For Columbine" are bogus and sound like the writers haven't even seen the movie.

His film was definitely NOT anti-gun and was more nuanced than I thought it would be.

It's typical Moore in your face liberalism, annoying at times, yet makes some valid points and is surprisingly hard on the news media.

In fact Moore is the first person I've seen ream the local news media establishment for feeding the fires of racism.

I've always beieved that local news establishment intentionally feed into the stereotypes of blacks and is the main cause of white misconceptions of the black community.

Moores treatment of Charlton Heston was lame, but it was a good old fashioned tabloid magazine ambush. I'm surprised Heston even agreed to the interview.

Overall it was a pretty good film considering the perspective it came from.....It was in no way Anti-gun.

What Moore has done here (and I know b/c many of my best friends are fans of his) is stoke the American-is-Racist fires. In fact, he has gone farther by suggesting that the main stream media is trying to get whites to dislike blacks. Yet, he won't acknowledge that there is a blantant, systematic effort to get blacks to hate whites.

Moore's IQ renders him unaccountable for his words and actions.
Which is OK, as liberals aren't accountable for anything anyway.
When you have no values, there's nothing to fall short of.
