1. Actually, after they showed NewsMax "commentary" on the movie,
as well as the co-author of "Moore is a big, fat...something or other" this is like a documentary on his life.

2. "Versions of the truth?"
Someone commented about Michael Moore's movies that there are "MANY Versions of the truth and he shows one version" There are no "VERSIONS" of truth. How anyone could say that with a straight face?

3. That's Satan's line
"versions of the truth."

Something the Father of Lies would say.

4. I'm glad to hear Moore has a "war room"
to defend against attacks on the film. The media is falling all over themselves shrieking that his work is "misleading," but on the rare occasion that they actually give a specific example of what they mean, it's ridiculous!

This piece made a little fuss that Moore introduced Charlton Heston with a clip of him holding up a gun and saying "From my hold dead hands!" Supposedly, Moore was making it look as if he said that in Colorado rather than wherever else he said it. I saw it as a generic Heston clip. It's who Heston is, it's what he's said many times, it's what the NRA touts. THIS is the kind of big example of "lies" they're accusing Moore of?

They're just trying to make a case from nothing to persuade people to slam the movie without ever seeing it, as an excuse for never seeing it.

5. Let me give you an example that I learned in third grade
There was a car race between the US and the Soviet Union. The US won the race. Soviet papers had the headline Soviets came in second while US came in next to last. True statement but very misleading.
