I can stop reading at this point.
More right-wing propaganda.
Besides, I stated rock solid evidence. That is for those who did not understand, video or stfu. |
Sigh, my what an excellent rebuttal ... "right-wing propoganda" indeed. Well now I feel obliged to respond with a silly right wing response ... "why do you hate america?" Well fine, I don't have video, but maybe you'll believe this guy:

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday that he edited a Minnesota congressman's words out of his movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," because "He didn't answer the question."
Rep. Mark Kennedy, R-Minn., fired back by accusing Moore of lying about their filmed encounter.
He said Moore "recounted to reporters a conversation between us that never took place."
Moore's comments, on the eve of the film's opening today, came in response to earlier criticism by Kennedy that his answers were cut from a segment of the film where he was asked about how many members of Congress have children serving in Iraq.
Moore said that despite the hard feelings, the Kennedy scene is one of the movie's "funniest" moments.
Kennedy "looked at me like I'm crazy," Moore said, in a new account of their meeting that differs significantly from an earlier transcript provided by the film's producers. "He'll get a big laugh and Republicans will agree with him."
Kennedy called Moore "a master of the misleading" after he saw a film clip of Moore's ambush-style interview of him.
In it, Moore is shown asking Kennedy to help him get members of Congress to get their kids to enlist in the military and fight in Iraq.
According to Kennedy, he told Moore that he had a nephew on his way to Afghanistan.
In fact, Kennedy says, he has had two nephews in the military, with his own son considering a career in the Navy.
Kennedy's side of the conversation, however, was cut from the film, leaving him looking bewildered and defensive.
In a Capitol Hill appearance Thursday, Moore denied censoring Kennedy's remarks because they didn't fit into the premise of his film, as Kennedy charges.
"He mentioned that he had a nephew that was going over to Afghanistan," Moore recounted. "So then I said 'No, no, that's not our job here today. We want you to send your child to Iraq. Not a nephew.' "
A transcript of the exchange -- posted on Moore's Web site -- does not include the same dialogue Moore related to reporters.
The transcript also quotes Kennedy telling Moore that he'd be happy to help in his recruitment drive, a promise that the film's producers say Kennedy failed to keep.

I'm not entirely sure who this Moore guy is, but he's got some nerve saying that about Moore. Obviously another propogandist for the right...
