My favorites have to include "Puritan Fever" during the Clinton sex scandal... when people dressed up like puritans fanatics and read the starr report and went to the capital....

Another one, I liked was the Hitler in Switzerland... Since the Swiss don't trust the holocaust groups of giving back the stolen holocaust gold by the nazis, he suggests that perhaps they'd do business with someone who was familier to take money teeth etc out of those accounts.... Hitler.

Michael Moore does nothing but spew out his own propaganda and has the nerve to call it a documentary. He cuts and pastes, takes things out of context, cuts people off before they finish their sentences, and is a general all-around idiot.

Yes he is. He is a civilian, one of the many that pay the cop's wages. The cop is paid to risk his life in order to provide common people like him security. So a cop who has to choose between the chance of shooting a civilian and getting shot, he should choose the second.

Nevertheless, you will find that a majority of people in your country (and in many other countries too) are afraid of that the police may hurt them in some way and they are not confindent in them.

I read it, and a few things were pointed out unseen before. At this point, it's two sides telling how the other is blatantly lying - so I don't know whose side to concretely take.

Michael's general rabid idiocy and inability to write without using "OH REALLY?!" taints such a future commitment, though.

God, that is a beautiful troll. The way it seems reasonable until the very end where facism is thrown out is just remarkable. Learn from this one, kiddies.

actually I don't consider it a troll. America is heading towards facism.

I still hate Moore though. we need more reasonable, intelligent people to keep this country on track. Moore does not fit that bill.

Michael Moore has a bad habit of cutting a speaker (let's say Heston) off midsentence, inserting a bit of narration, then 'resuming' the speech. Only, the speech is a different one. (You'll notice Heston's tie changes color a few times, all during the 'same' speech.)

Let's not go into his attempts to distort the passage of time.

He's done some good things - like getting transplants and other operations for people who were stiffed by their insurance company.

In one case he held a mock funeral for a guy at the HQ of the medical insurance company that had refused his transplant. The guy got his operation

Not narration; rather stills or outside clips while the auditory speech "flows" on to hide the fact that the sentences uttered in the film are actually cuts of several different ones pieced together to become as abrasive and hostile as possible. It's further charged that the general message(s) (are) even warped by clipping fragments from entirely different speeches in making of the mosaic.

Neither are excusable "editing" - and if you honestly believe otherwise, you've obviously picked your winner before the battle even began.

I watched "Bowling for Columbine" for the first time today, keeping an eye out for any changes in Heston's outfit, and after a little introduction to the NRA, Heston does his "cold dead hands" bit, and then Michael Moore says the NRA came to Littleton, and shows the speech Heston made and he is then of course wearing a different shirt. The way that you made it out it was like he was seamlessly cutting and pasting- but with your claims you have been every bit as intellectually dishonest here as Michael Moore was with regard to that speech.
