    It doesn't make it's information reliable, but it just makes their opinion bias and unreliable when trying to quote from fact.

    Because Moore is seen as anti-Republican in most eyes, of course a Republican-favored website will lash against Moore.

    Um...I have a little question:
    Is that supposed to be a..uh....news article? Seriously. I thought it was more like...an opinion column. If that is supposed to be a news article, then...I must say it's the worst news article I have ever read, since the writer keeps giving his/her opinion over and over.

    You know. I'm not ignorant I and I understand that this 'article' is from a Republican based site. Nonetheless, I've seen COUNTLESS articles based on nothing more than Bush and discrediting him. I'm quite tired of hearing the whining about it. I posted it because I read it and found it interesting and decided to share it since Michael Moore has been a rather popular subject here. I've apologized if you perceived it in a light that is unflaterring. I don't know what else to tell you.

    It's a NewsPage but with an obvious, strong Republican standpoint on everything. They don't just make up things to make the non-republic opinions look bad but do tend to use their opinions quite often ( which is why I'm drawn to them ).

    It's an opinion column, but what Fuza tried to do (in my opinion) was quote off someone who supported her view.

    It's a Newspage with opinions worked in to the information. If you'd like to think of it as a opinion column then that's just the way you see it. Nonetheless, what I was trying to do was share an article of expressive writing that I agreed with. I don't see how what I did was wrong just because you don't like what you read.

    I never said it was wrong of you to quote it. I said it's unreliable information to back your statements up because your quoted statements are just bias.

    I don't know whats wrong with that. I mean, if there is an article expressing what you think, just post it, and save the typing. I never do that, though, because I always have something against everything. De omnibus dubitatum.

    But I'm gonna check the site...

    Heeh...thats even kinda cute.

    And there's even links to rahter curious stuff

    Um, but yes, it looks like a quite biased site. That's OK, I like this kind of sites just to see opinions totally oposed to mine, after all, my ideology is far left. I tend to look more at conservative sites though, because I find opinion articles I can disagree with more interesting, I think in a way it's better than reading an article I agree with: It makes me do a critic.

    Then again, I tend to disagree with left articles too.


    Edit:
    I'm sorry, I fail to understand this man:

    "Why conservatives should make no apologies about believing that America is a superior society, not because Americans are superior beings, but because our culture was founded on recognition of God-given natural rights"



    Uh....so he is advocating chauvinism? I think thats exactly why so many people hate the US.

    I do consider myself to be a Republican, but I would not call myself a diehard Republican. I'm much more liberal than most conservatives.

    Americans are stupid, yes. I'm not afraid to admit that. Yet so is Michael Moore. He does not realize this. I have gotten the perception from him that he thinks that he is the undying prophet of mankind and that he is the only American that is not stupid. He accuses people of things that he is also doing, ie ignorance and stupidity. He is just as much a hypocrite as the people he criticizes. When he finally shuts up and leaves me alone, I will be a much happier person.

    I will not see Fahrenheit 9/11, after seeing Bowling for Columbine and finding it to be full of utter crap. Thanks for this insightful article, Fuzakeru.

    I dislike Michael Moore because he's quite full of himself, from my point of view. He depicts himself as this champion of the "little guy" or "the people without a voice". Nobody needs a champion who tries to make himself a champion. This is the same reason I strongly dislike Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Al Franken. In short, anyone who utilizes the media to further their political views I find to be rather egotistical, and if someone's ego impedes upon their "cause", then they aren't all that dedicated to that cause, are they?

    And just so we all know where we stand, I'm very leftist.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I respect Moore only because he is actually taking on the Bush Administration. As a political figure, I find his views laughable and very sensationalisitic. However, I am glad that someone actually stands up to what has become the common trend today: Everyone having a love-in with the government.

    The media was created to report on and sort of keep the government in check, yet after 9/11, that wall disappeared, and any criticism against the Bush Administration is met with such distain that it seems like they (The Media) MUST be crazy.

    Jon Stewart made just this point this very night on Larry king, when he said to the effect that the media has become almost a part of the Administration instead of something aside from it.

    What irkes me about this government, more than anything else, is ITS high and mighty self-righteousness. Whenever criticized, they react as if it's un-patriotic to doubt what is being said. Perhaps it's just me, but I'm of the feeling that if you lie, and are caught in the lie, you probably should tell the truth...

    This goes either way, but right now, the Republicans are on the hot seat and it's only getting hotter with every day.

    Take care all.

    A confident step in undoing his damage? Is he to be considered some sort of threat now?

    Come on, this "documentary" of his isn't going to do anything whatsoever. The hard-line Republicans and conservatives will whine about it and call him unpatriotic or whatever, and the hard-line Democreats and liberals will all think it's great. I can't see this effecting the election all that much anyways, most people's views are set in stone by this point.

    it changed my mothers views. she isnt voting for bush now. i can see how this could get people who dont pay attention to politics and just vote republican 'cos thats the thing to do (or in some cases, the christian thing to do). it definetly could put a few votes on john kerry's side i think.
