The funny thing is that you commit just as serious a violation as Moore when you misrepresent the claims he makes in the movie. Why can't you provide a direct quote from the movie? It's probably because Moore never made those claims and you needed to create a straw man to easilly tear down.
I realize that the movie is not completely accurate. That's obvious. It would be practically impossible to create such a movie and for Moore to claim this is dishonest. However, to claim that one shouldn't watch the movie or believe anything in it is equally dishonest and leads people to bury their head in the sand and dismiss reality.

I think the claim that Bush hired a company to get rid of as many Democratic voting blacks as possible is a big point in the movie. So is the 42% vacation time. Hell, all of them are pretty big, sans maybe the veterans one.
Are you not just dismissing him out of hand because he went and got some facts to try and pry the tinfoil hat off your head with?
