He has hired Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani, two former political advisers to Bill Clinton and Al Gore, to respond to claims that Moore doctored the facts.
"You come at me with anything, we come back with the truth," said Moore. |
hehe this will be fun :)
yes you can also see this as "he is too stupid to answer it himself"... but considering the massive right opposition i think he can need it.
really hope they can defend every single point without any doubt :) |

| Whether you love the guy or hate him, I am just glad to know that I live in a nation that his works can be shown despite the numerous detractors that would like otherwise to be the case. I was not a fan of him but the more idiotic actions that develop under the sorry leadership of G.W.Bush and his administration I am becoming a Moore fan. Nice to know that you can still offer critiques of the president of America in America despite what the world may think about current U.S. policies, I bet the Iranians, North Koreans, Zimbabweans, Burmese (Myanmar) to name a few places on this earth would love that opportunity:conf: Now lets hope Bush goes back to Texas in November and stays. |

I've always assumed that this kind of thing is pretty commonplace - I'd imagine that any 'media figure' who's under attack (whether right, left or libertarian) would at the very least have a few advisers and PR agents. It's the nature of the game. |

interesting is also that he says he will do a movie about blair & iraq too :) (the same article)
| quote: | | "Blair knows better. Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?" Moore told Reuters. |
:D |

| He should to an expose on his own hypocracy. I'd pay to see that one twice. I bet no one would try to disprove any of it either. |

| What's wrong with hiring someone to defend you from the administration's character assassins who are paid millions to discredit Bush's opponents by any means necessary. I say fight fire with fire. |

Ohh thanks O' Mighty Moore we are so greatful to have you do this wonderful thing for us......
On a serious and censorship note, in the UK if he tried getting away with his characteristic "Overall picture nevermind the details.... well actually forget the details and kinda take a view then say it's fact..... and stuff" attitude he'd be sued to f*ck. Anyone rember that guy Andrew Gilligan???
What I mean is some of the stuff he says is either hugely oversimplifed or just plainly misleading. |

I wanted to comment on this topic but couldn't think of any way to improve what was already said by Mike Straka
"But one need only to look at the title of both of his "films" — actually to see that he is profiting more than anybody else from the tragedies that have befallen our country. And he stands to profit more with his latest. Check out this quote from the "Crusader of the Little Man" Moore, on his booed Oscar speech two years ago:
"When everyone was saying that any person who criticized America at a time of war would be shunned and boycotted and ignored and vilified, the sales of my books and movies went through the roof."
Gee Michael, I'm so glad our nation's tragedies are so good for your career. Did you give any of that profit to the families of the kids who were killed at Columbine? Will you be donating money to 9-11 memorials or families?
Or are they just convenient, headline-grabbing titles for your own money making machine?
Hey, Michael, you have every right to make money. That's part of the freedom we're all privileged to have thanks to the thousands of lives sacrificed in the name of the United States of America. But let's call a spade a spade. We're not all "stupid white men," and neither are you. |
