locobot,
keep in mind the post you are referring to was strictly on a hypothetical level because i disagreed with the premise's on which the previous posts had being laid.
that being said... certainly moore has a right to promote his movie. why do so many draw the line from disapproval of a statement to the opinion that the statement shouldn't be allowed?
the problem with moore in these instances is that it appears that he has manufactured or manipulated the situation in a way that is untrue. publicly accusing the disney company of censorship with the motivation of keeping political ties is a very serious thing to say. if those accusations aren't proven (and they haven't been, and i doubt they will), then moore has gone from promotion to libel. there is a difference, a very distinct (and legal) difference.
