Challenge to Moore-bashers (Moore reaches his target audience) BARF ALERT

I am only 15 years old, but I saw ''Fahrenheit 9/11.'' I came out of the movie and thought about it. Wow, this man (President Bush) is leading our country -- how depressing! I do believe that everyone should be required to see this movie.

Another thing: Michael Moore said that if anyone did not like this movie it did not matter, because it was all fact. So I challenge you people that hated this movie, what was not true?

I find it odd that no one deemed it necessary to actually answer this young lady's question. If she is as naive as you all have made her to be, and as impressionable, maybe you all should respond with better, more informative replies, rather than bash her. After all she is just 15.

Yo, Kant! Welcome to the Free Republic.

You apparently think the young lady is intelligent, so she should be able to answer her own question without our help. By the way, her question really wasn't a question at all, but a rhetorical insult to those who don't agree with her. If you can't figure that out, then you're rhetorically challenged.

Also, the last time a teenage girl had any influence on an election was Amy Carter, the daughter of your beloved Jimmuh Carter. He tried to legitimize a question she had by bringing it before the electorate, and in turn, the electorate laughed his ass out of office. So bring it on Kant, or just go back and build some more halibut for humanity.

Michael Moore - Not as good looking as Leni Riefenstahl.

Leni at age 100.

That's the thing about lies of omission. Everything presented could be true, but by selectively leaving out other relevant facts, one can present a very false picture.

Example: A newspaper headline states that Sara's dad is sought for questioning in the strange death of a California man. The story could goes on to present numerous true things (out of context, of course) to generate inuendo which makes dad look suspicious. What the newspaper didn't do is mention that dad is the world's formost authority in the rare desease that killed the CA man, and that dad is being sought as an avisor in the investigation, not as a suspect.

That, dear Sara is lie by omission and all F911.
