Michael Moore booed by Hollywood elite

It's great to find agreement with a couple of those whom I disagree with a lot:

Candide, it was great to hear someone get a standing ovation for someone saying something positive. I've got to say that it shows some class by Brody and the Hollywood crowd that his comment got a standing ovation. A plug for Bush or the war it ain't, but I'm happy to see them at least supporting the troops.

Baptist Believer,

For the record, I can respect those who are opposed to the war because they are pacifists or they do not believe Bush made his case to the American people, but I cannot respect those who are dishonest in their accusations or who deliberately undermine the war effort by giving hope to the Iraqi regime by disruptive protests – human lives are at stake.

If you'll pardon me a Limbaugh-ite compliment--dittos! I too have no problem with honest war protest and I think our country would be in a sad state if there weren't at least an element that stood against war. That is not to say that the "pro-war" types such as myself are really for war, but it is good that there are those who will stand up and say, "Whoa!" when we go to war. Your distinction is right on the mark. Though I disagree with the Catholic Church on this war, Western Civilization would be in a sad state without their concept of and serious thinking about just war.

 

Didn't watch the awards. Doesn't interest me in the least.
If I'm not sick and it's Sunday, you'll find me in church.

I have a copy of the book "Stupid White Men".

In the opening chapter he shows what he deems evidence of how President Bush was elected falsley.

What concerns me is his claim that Black people who had the same surname as somebody who had a Criminal Conviction were prevented from voting. If this was not true, surley he would be sued for making a false accusation, yet I have heard that this went on in other sources also.

People like to line up Michael Moore for his left wing attitude, yet not all he does is bad. People on this board often complain of jobs being moved overseas fom America. As far as I am aware, Michael Moore's show the auwful truth seems to be the only forum where these companies are challenged.

Also it was Michael Moore that went to the German Car Manufacturers and exposed how they profited from Jewish prision camp labour in their factories. Stories like this need to be told.

 

Didn't watch it, but good for the booers!

 

Great expose of Moore's ficticious "work," "Bowling for Columbine:"

http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html

"Bowling fails the first requirement of a documentary: some foundation in the truth. In his earlier works, Moore shifted dates and sequences for the sake of drama, but at least the events depicted did occur. Most of the time, anyway. Bowling breaks that last link with factual reality. It makes its points by deceiving and by misleading the viewer. Statements are made which are false. Moore invites the reader to draw inferences which he must have known were wrong. Dates are transposed and video carefully edited to create whatever effect is desired. Indeed, even speeches shown on screen are heavily edited, so that sentences are assembled in the speaker's voice, but which he never uttered."

 

Have the U.S government taken steps to ensure at the next election, nobody who is entitled can be denied their democratic right to vote?

 

Who wasn't allowed to vote???

I would have to see definite proof of this from a reputable source. Just because Michael Moore wrote it in his book does not make it so!

Think about it. If black people were denied the right to vote because they had the same last name as a criminal; the hue and cry from the NAACP and the ACLU would have been heard throughout the land!

I wish people would stop whining about an 'illegal election'. It's over! We have our President.
