Well, even if you disagree with what he says in his documentaries, every thing in them is backed up by evidence and references. This is in contrast to Rush Limbaugh, whom I have never heard anything but lies come out of his mouth in all the years I've been listening to him. He doesn't even bother to pretend to be factual anymore; he just makes s**t up as he goes! So, who's the a*****e here?

So, I'm still waiting for an example of a lie from Michael Moore.

Again you speak too much in generalities. Which statements in "Sicko" do you take issue with? I saw the movie, and he pretty much got it right. Talking up his movie is expected; it's marketing. You said he lied somewhere. Where?

I attack Rush because I don't think I have ever yet heard a single truthful thing come out of his mouth. Really. I don't like him because he goes way beyond free speech. He is inciting his minions to riot and advocating insurgency against his lawful president. That's like yelling "fire!" in a theatre, and it is not protected speech under the Constitution.
Do you think anybody with an ounce of patriotic feelings in their veins would say something like "I'd rather see America fail than Obama succeed"? Rush said that. He's an ass.

One, the whole movie is not a lie if he's expressing an opinion that other countries have a better health care system than we. Canadians, Aussies, Britons, Kiwis, Swedes, and Frenchmen will all agree with him, and none of them would trade their system with ours.
I am a doctor myself and intimately familiar with how our system works, and I can assure you, it is in dire need of reform. The insurance company bean counters have taken critical medical decision making out of the hands of doctors, and that is disastrous. Moore was making an important and valid point.
Second, I have never once said anything espousing Marxism or Communism. Those political systems are obvious failures. So, where did you get that from in anything I have said? Do you automatically equate liberalism with Marxism? That's Rush talking. He is ignorant and a liar. Did you know he never even went to college? The man makes things up and pulls them out of his ass. Get over him.
Third, you said "Like hell he did you lying stupidumasinus. He said he wanted to see The One to fail. " No. He did in fact say that he would rather see America fail than Obama succeed. That is a direct quote. It was covered on the TV networks, Newsweek, US News and World Report, the NY Times, the Washington Post, and more. It's very well documented, Can't weasle your way out of this one.
Speaking of documentation, I sent you a source on the Nerve Gas thing. Did you read it? I wasn't able to watch your video about Columbine because my computer can't play it for some reason. I promise to watch it if you send me a reference to it in another format.

You do not have to go to college to be knowledgable, but if you are going to present yourself as some sort of pontificating expert on a wide range of topics, and claim you know better than people with REAL credentials, then, yes, I have a problem with that. It would be a lot more honest if Rush started every show with the disclaimer, "I'm a dumbass, but here's what I think, all facts to the contrary..."
As for nationalizing companies, if billions of our tax dollars are going to bail out companies that are "too big to fail", then yes, I damn well want the government to exert some control for my money. The Big Car Makers of Detroit fought for years against better mileage standards and greener practices. Now Obama gets to say, "hey, f**k you, you took our money, now you're going to toe the line and put these things into practice". Good for him. I call that acting responsibility. Bush just threw money at them and demanded no concessions in return. What a dumbass.
Likewise, he gets to tell the banks that they're going to have to play by the rules again. I loved it when WAMU Mortgage Co. told Obama that it was very nice that he had suggestions to make about their loan practices, but they were a private company and didn't have to comply. He said "the f**k you don't! You took the money! You're going to help these poor schmucks losing their homes now, whether you want to or not!". Now, THAT'S a President!
And, lest you think he's "seizing" the companies as some sort of socialist agenda (listening to the Fat One again!), notice what happened when Goldman Sachs Co. paid back their bailout loan; the government immediately backed off and got out of their business. NO attempt to retain control.
You are so wrong. I bet if you grew up in the fifties you would have been a John Bircher, seeing Commies under the bed and in the closets. I bet you think Joe McCarthy was a good guy, and actually believe that Ronald Reagan won the Cold War, instead of just happening to be present when the USSR self-imploded. I'm right, aren't I?

He has been on occasion. But look at his basic persona (at least when he started out): that us a dumpy nerd with glasses going around with cameraman and mike in tow to annoyingly ask very pointed questions at people who are not use to being questioned at all (like on Roger & Me') or when the Taliban illegalized TV sets (way before 9/11) and Michael sent van after van of TV sets to the Afghanistan people.

But in 'Bowling For Columbine' where he hassles an aging Charlton Heston about the promotion of firearms he was a big asshole. Of course Heston responded in his usual gentlemanly manner by walking away with a smile that said 'you know even at my age I could still kick the living s**t out of your liberal ass!'. So, he would do things like pop into the property of CEOs of the auto industry to see if they knew how to change the oil in a car (one actually did) which caused Clint Eastwood to quip at an Academy Awards ceremony (from the stage) that he like Michael Moore but if he ever showed up on his property 'I'm going to shoot your ass!' but that's his persona - like Howard Stern but not as loud and obnoxious. Sometimes he's been brilliant like when he continued to follow CEO Roger Smith about taking jobs to Mexico and rendering a good part of Flint, Michigan unemployed even though the profits were way above average - to basically ask him 'Why?'. He shows the after effect of this mass localized unemployment with the increase of crime and the subsequent building of new prisons which Moore quips sarcastically created a few new jobs.

In some ways I don't have to think; I KNOW he's an a*****e (like the way he manages to NEVER discuss Israel in '911' - hint hint - he's managed by the brother of Zionut Rahm Emmanuel - LOL)
