Anyone know of a good article that refutes the attacks on F911?
I've read various interviews with Moore ,and I find the claims of the right-wing to be lies themselves, but I haven't found an article that does a reasonably thorough job of listing the right-wing claim and providing the progressive response. Anyone know of one?

1. Have you checked out Paul Thompson's 911 Timeline?

2. First of all, there has to be an intelligent attack
If you notice, the detractors are not really mentioning any inaccuracies, just (loudly) making the accusations.
You can argue the point or the intent of the film, but it doesn't need to be refuted or debunked.

4. Two places.
An editorial here:
http://www.opednews.com/wade_062604_blocking_fahrenheit_911.htm

Also go to michaelmoore.com and he has a whole F911 Facts section detailing the facts and the lies the RW is spreading about him.

5. The Only "Attacks" I've Seen Are Totally Ilogical
Like "he thinks Saddam was perfect" or "he hates America" or "he's a liar" I haven't really seen any fact in the movie attacked...and THERE WERE LOTS OF THEM!

8. I agree - Moorewatch.com's attack is sad fact less bull shit
but then that means it's attack "points" should be on Fox tonight.

9. Righto on vetting
Its easy to confirm anything in the film with minimal research. Moore could have gone much farther, but he seems to have included unassailable facts. A good choice IMHO.

7. Canuckistatian Hit it on the head
There has to be a cogent, reasoned critique to respond to, and none has surfaced.

Moore vetted this film to within an inch of it's life and it's driving the 'wingers'
batshit crazy
