Since your education obviously falls short in the area of constitutional liberties, let me enlighten you. There are limits to all rights. In the realm of free speech, the most famous is the concept of yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Then there are laws against slander, which he laughably is threatening to employ against those who expose him for the fraud he is.

Another limitation on free speech is the concept of "aid and comfort to the enemy" in time of war, otherwise defined as treason, a capital crime. As it happens, the yelling "fire" analogy is also accurate here, given that Moore's film (as all of his rhetoric) filled with blatant lies and distortions. There might be a case of defending his assault on the administration, even in a time of war, if he at least was being truthful and exposing very real corruption. However, that is not the case, and demonstrably so. So when you say that Moore has a right to say what he wants, you are not entirely correct. And it goes far beyond him saying something I disagree with. His picture is courting the approval of Hezbollah, an organization dedicated to exterminating a group of your fellow human beings. Nice allies you've got there.

As for your attempt to dodge the issues with the old "have you seen the film?" smokescreen, I'll point out the obvious (since it apparently escapes you) in stating that I am not relying on someone else to do my thinking (you know, like Michael Moore does for his groupies). I'm reading reports of the film's content from a variety of sources, including many that praise it or at least share his political views, and I'm comparing that information with established facts. To say that it falls short is an understatement.

On the other hand, if you care to be the first person to go on record as stating that all of the above-referenced articles and reviews have misrepresented what is contained in the movie, I'll be happy to re-evaluate my position on it. Short of that, I prefer not to put money in the pocket of a man whose only consistent ideology seems to be one of enriching himself by exploiting the suffering of others.

Have a nice day, and come election day, make sure none of your fellow Democrats, who are in charge of election procedures and equipment interfere with minorities voting, like your guru insists happened last time around. Oh, I forgot, it was the Republicans who hypnotized the Democrats running the polls and establishing the procedures who were at fault.
