Moore Lies

Everybody has been talking about Michael Moore's new agitprop film Fahrenheit 911*. I have to say that I truly despise Michael Moore. He is a liar. In his faux documentaries, he presents a sick caricature of America. His portrayal has nothing to do with reality. However, his cartoon version of America is mindlessly lapped up by his fans here and abroad. People believe this distortion and think it's the truth. This infuriates me.

Here's a news flash for you non-American Moore worshippers: Moore's portrayal of America is no more based in reality than an episode of Dallas or Dynasty. Sorry to disappoint you.

As Dean Esmay says, Moore is the left's version of Leni Riefenstahl.

Of course the Hollywood crowd, being utterly insulated from reality, just loves Moore. And apparently the increasingly whacked-out Democratic Party loves him too. Hezbollah also loves Moore's new movie. How surprising...not.

Andrea Harris has the ultimate rant** on Moore and his new movie. I agree with every word.

According to Andrea's post, one of the things in F911 that some are making a big deal over is that Bush took seven minutes to "respond" to the 9/11 attack. The man was obviously distressed and held it together somehow in front of those little kids. What was he supposed to do? Run storming out, screaming that America was under attack? The principal at the school Bush was visiting had no problem with the President's response. Why should Moore?

I'll tell you why. Because there was no response that Bush could have made that would have pleased Moore and his groupies and fanboys. Bush would have been condemned no matter what he did.

And one more thing...Some filmmakers are answering Moore's propaganda. One such film is the forthcoming Michael Moore Hates America. From the website:

Contrary to its title, Michael Moore Hates America isn’t a hatchet job on the filmmaker. It’s a journey across the nation where we meet celebrities, scholars and average folks alike, and we find out whether the American Dream is still alive! In the process, we’ll look at Michael Moore’s claims about the country, its people, and our way of life.

Also, libertarian talk show host Larry Elder has an upcoming film called Michael & Me.

*As for the title, Ray Bradbury is not happy about it at all. Moore has said that 911 is the temperature "at which freedom burns". Moore wouldn't know freedom if it bit him on the butt!

**Andrea's rant may not be safe for work, depending on your situation.
