Fair call if that's the case. If there are substantial inaccuracies then I'm glad you pointed them out. At least the inaccuracies mean the US is a better place rather than a worse one - errors usually make things worse!

Serves me right for such a title. Should have used "Michael Moore - he writes funny books"

I hate to tell you but if you think Moore researches his material well then he fooled you well.

Moore's material is that of a really good liar. His work always sounds plausible. Bowling for Columbine, for instance, all sounds plausible statistically. It comes across as a real documentary that just happens to have humor in it. In actuality, Moore twists facts and statistics to be molded into a predetermined point of view.

Stupid White Men is just one such example. For instance, CEOs do tend to make 20X or more as much as the average worker at a company in Fortune 500 companies. However, basketball players make far more than 20X as much as the average person working the non player jobs in the NBA. Do you think Moore will make a "Stupid black men" book?

And the charges about Bush are total BS. For instance, the Democrats illegally kept certain polling places open long after they should have been open to win their areas. This happened in St. Louis big time. In addition, Gore advocates regularly bused homeless people to the polls to vote for Gore in exchange for cigarettes and alcohol. No such example was found on the Bush side.

And then there's Florida where Gore lost due largely to the ignorance of his voters. But even there, it's not as clear cut at Moore would have you believe. The media announced Florida had gone for Gore before the polls in western FLorida had closed. Western Florida was overwhelmingly Republican. There were reports of thousands of people who heard the news and went home (why wait in line to vote if your state has already been called?).

Moore is a liar. A good liar but still a liar.

came across this when i was searching for an article i recently read about mike moore being a liar, wanted to point out a few "inaccuracies" in the earlier comment:

i've always wondered how "facts" and "statistics" can be adjusted and yet remain "facts" and "statistics"...?

moore doesn't advocate the republicans, OR democrats. they're both horrible parties. so what difference does it make which one screwed with the 2000 elections? and, it is perfectly legal for a person or persons to get a bus and pick people up and take them to polling stations ... and offer them some nice things along the way. should only people who have cars to get to the polls be permitted to vote in a "democratic" country? besides, no one's there when the people cast their vote -- so who knows who they vote for.

anyways ... i am off, but one last thing -- "BS" and "Bush" go well in a sentence together, just not in the order you put them.

Hi frog-boy
I am not going to judge you comments because in a free society you are allowed to voice your opinion whatever it may be. But let me say this, in the great land of America do really think that he could get away with making outrageously false comments about the NRA and the Bush government without having any legal repercussions. Also what film company or theater would release this film without making sure that every fact is true, can you imagine the amount of people and companies getting sued if only one of Michael Moores facts were untrue. I am sure that by now if someone had found a fact in Michael Moores books or films wrong or a lie we would know about it.

Frogboy,
I think you are one of those guys who sleep with a gun under his pillow, who doesn't want to see the true, or you' ve watched to much television.
Nevertheless i give you that link http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/wackoattacko/
