I may disagree with Kas about Moore, but I gotta agree about the weirdness

I agree with Kas on both accounts. Despite my age.

Research before you post, son.
Wow. Do everyone a favor and never post anything resembling that level of condescension again.

The rally at Littleton was scheduled years before the Columbine event.
Uh, okay? Moore never supposes it wasn't. The fact that they were planning to do so doesn't really make it better. It's amazing how I never got the impression that the NRA had scheduled this rally as a result of Columbine but every Republican conspiracy theorist living in their parent's basement seemed to. What sort of a dimwit doesn't know that these sort of rallies are scheduled in advance?

Twenty Two Thousand NRA members had purchased tickets, everything was ready, and could not be canceled.
Sure it could have been. Ask Axl Rose. Everything can be canceled.

Because, in order to maintain their organization status the NRA is legally required by the state of New York to hold these meetings.
I'm quite sure the NRA has enough meetings and would still have enough if they canceled one.

So they did the best they could, they canceled all the extra activities, and only had the single rally.
Boo hoo, how very heroic. I can see how the fact that punch was not served would be of great consolation to the family members of the Columbine victims who turned out to protest the event.

While Moore's creative editing in Bowling would have you believe that Heston is a cold hearted bastard, the truth is that Heston did care, and even gave a little speech concerning the Columbine tradgedy.
As opposed to all of the other people in the world who like seeing kids get shot and speak publicly to everyone who will listen about their desire to see kids get shot. Everyone gave a fucking speech. Marylin Manson gave a speech. The fact Michael Moore was examining was that he was still there regardless.

However, Moore edited that out, and replaced it with the 'Cold Dead Hands' statement, which was said by heston a hear after the Columbine event, because he had been presented with an ornamental musket.
OH MY GOD YOU MEAN HE DIDN'T SAY IT THERE!? WHY THIS CHANGES THE ENTIRE TONE OF THE MOVIE AND INVALIDATES IT TOTALLY OH MY FUCKING GOD! I LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHERS DID NOT TAKE IT AS CHARACTER BACKGROUND USING A RECOGNIZABLE PHRASE BUT INSTEAD AS SOMETHING HE ACTUALLY SAID IN LITTLETON COLARADO WHICH OF COURSE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE MOVIE. OH WAIT NO IT ISN'T. I THINK THAT vB WILL EDIT OUT ALL OF THESE CAPS. HELLO INTERNET

The second half of your post is an ignorant statement made by a flaming liberal wanna-be. You would do good to not state such ignorant things; because you leave yourself wide open to being dissected by anyone who would wish to cut you apart.
I am Kas! Fear me exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark one.

He's not an idiot. He's a smart man, who lies while passing is lies off as Truth. Don't dilute yourself, Moore knows what he is doing. He's very good at what he does, see above to how Trinity swallowed Moore's creative editing hook, line and sinker.
Maybe you meant delude. But I agree; Drayson, don't be a dumb shit. Michael Moore isn't allowed to make minor edits to his movie. Now if he were the president he would be allowed to tell vicious lies to the American people and it would be okay as long as he believed in God and Jesus and mom's apple pie. But as it is no.

Anyway, who's planning on buying, "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat
Stupid White Man" ? Comes out June 29th! Includes cutting reviews of BFC.. :)
No one is Kas. But I'm sure you're masturbating right now at the mere thought of it.


I love how you fascist Christian Republicans fire off these "FACTS" about Bowling for Columbine that are a total fucking non-issue acting like you've proved the existence of Jesus. It makes me wonder how you could possibly believe that anyone would care; but then I remember that virtually none of you have actually seen the movie, you just had Rush Limbaugh tell you about it in between doing enough drugs to drop a calf.

No really, who cares? Have you bothered to count the number of factual errors per minute in the average Limbaugh or O'Reilly broadcast? Or in the average Bush campaign speech? No. Moore hardly "lied"; at best it was creative editing, the intentions of which you don't really know and which in the end have little effect on the outcome of the movie.

The beautiful irony is that if there wasn't so much controversy over every movie Michael Moore puts out, far, far fewer people would care. You right-wing nutjobs have made him a huge celebrity and you continue to do it. Frankly I'm loving every minute of it.


As for Kamon, I think you're still fighting windmills about the definition of the word idiot. Then you made some ignorant shit comment about American schools and how I didn't go to the Holy American Academy of God and Jesus and can't identify with the very specialized American slang which is very different from Canadian slang and I'm mean and should burn in unholy atheist hell. Whatever. You enjoy arguing with no one over that okay?

The thing about Moore though, is he won a 'Best Documaentary' oscar for a film in which a whole slew of people believe he played fast and loose with the facts. And then he said he didn't, without actually saying he didn't, because he has yet to make a statement concerning these accusations in which he actually addresses the question, and doesn't use cheap wording like "Everything Heston said in my film he said".

By a "Whole slew", you mean the Right. It is pretty clearly the Right, because he's against them, and there's certainly a slew of people that make up the Right. But the vast majority do not, and they're the ones who listen and learn, and don't scream "He edits things! He is a liar! KILL!"

Dolash makes a good point. It's like saying that several people including Osama bin Laden object to the CNN coverage of 9/11.

Count me amongst them. I hate CNN. Except Larry King. As he gets older he only gets sexier.

The Essential Guide to Arguing, a la Jesus-loving Conservative Redneck

Step One
Ignore facts and respond to arguments with unrelated "facts" that you think make sense. but really don't.

Step Two
When that fails, repeat unrelated facts while continuing to ignore arguments.
