Fun with wingnuts dissing Farenheit 9/11

[SilasSoule]

over on the Excite politcal board.

I started a couple of threads asking any if they could present any factual errors in F/911 trailer. And all I got back was deceptive editing, half truths, propoganda etc..... They could not present any!! Yet, that does not seem to conflict with or contradict their position that the film is just a pack of lies. Any Du'ers help on this thread will be welcome.

1. It would be very difficult to point out factual errors....

...in a film even you haven't seen yet.

2. All they know is that it isn't favorable to Bush so it's got to be bad

Freeps make up anything that is convenient at the time. They go to Amazon and write bad reviews about books they've never read and positive views about wing nut books they haven't read.

If freepers had half a life they wouldn't be freepers period.

3. well, i'd call that a draw eom

4. Ask them why Bushco isn't responding to the half-truths etc.

(or threatening legal action), but only doing the usual attacking the
messenger and attempting, through its right-wing pals, to prevent
people from seeing the film.

5. Exactly. If it was truly slander there would be a lawsuit.

6. Moore's good at backing up everything he says

He uses direct sources, verifies facts, then has fact checkers and lawyers go over every word and film clip to validate it's source.

7. welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

politicians generally don't sue for slander, witness President Clinton and the videos that Falwell sold claiming Clinton had ordered the deaths of dozens of people, or the book that claimed he was a Chinese spy, etc, etc. Clinton certainly had lot sof room for lawsuits, much more than bush has, but he didn't sue. U think the lack of a lawsuit on Bush's part doesn't mean anything.


I am looking forward to seeing 9/11 BTW.

8. The Assasination of Michael Moore

...has begun...on Hardball. The Repubs are really afraid of this film.
