Fascist Fun for the Whole Family

No doubt most of you are familiar with the controversy surrounding the politically-charged film Fahrenheit 9/11 and are somewhat divided in your assessment of its credibility. In fact, the outcome is very predictable. Conservatives will denounce this film as the epitome of Liberal Propaganda™ and its sordid manipulation of facts, whereas liberals

well, you said you were gonna take a middle stance on the issue, but you don't really present any evidence that anything michael moore said was wrong or inacurate.

i saw the movie and thouroughly enjoyed it and i hope more people go and see it. we'll just say that only half of the things moore brought to light were unaltered and completely true, though i beleieve it was definitely more than that. what an amazing ammount of things to hate bush for. his film definitely is a powerful piece of propaganda, but anything with a political view is propaganda. and as easily as everyone else believed everything the news reported on, i'm sure they will just as easily believe everything on moore's film. now, i will admit, editing can accomplish some pretty amazing things when it comes to a documentary like that, but you can't edit what that iraqi woman was saying when her house had been blown up. unless of course the subtitles were lies, which i don't think moore could get away with.

on the other hand though, some of the people that moore got to express their oppinions were a little less than qualified i think, ie, the old woman in the bingo hall, but then again, really, who is qualified to express their oppinions on politics in something like that? it's generally understood that the politicians will lie and the public doesn't know what they're talking about. and somehow it seems to me that john ashcroft's singing bit was a little slanderous, even though nothing was changed, but i fail to see how his singing ability has anything to do with why we should or shouldn't allow him to continue his job. even if it was funny.

anyway, it would seem as if i have been voted off the island, 'cause i'm loosing in the polls. it was fun while it lasted though, i suppose. i thought everyone was at least pretty funny, except for runningnak3d. god, what a douche. how did he even manage to get in? anyway, that should be about it. peace playa.
