About the Site
Dear Viewers,
My name is Richard Bushnell and on the summer of August 2003, I have just opened www.bowlingfortruth.com. This website is here as a recourse to expose the distortions and dishonesty in fictitious film director Michael Moore's Oscar winning documentary, Bowling For Columbine.
The point of this website IS a lot of things, but here are some that it is not: It is not to reveal a 'bias' in Moore's work - bias in documentaries doesn't bother me. I echo David Hardy's assessment in that "The point is not that Bowling is biased. No, the point is that Bowling is deliberately, seriously, and consistently deceptive." It is not to make the case for guns - I've never owned a gun, never shot a gun, and probably never even held a real gun; Guns scare me. It is not, in large part anyway, even to rebut Moore's beliefs. Rather, this site exists because Michael Moore is clever and glib and a very good film maker - but he uses his powers for evil. Michael Moore persuades his viewers by deceiving them, and this site exists for those who wish not to be fooled.
This site is not here to change anyone's mind about anything except the honesty of Michael Moore. It is not here to make you love guns, conservatives, republicans or Charlton Heston. It is not here to make you hate Marilyn Manson, gun control lobbyists, liberals or even Michael Moore. It's here to give you the truth that Moore withholds and perverts on a regular basis to fid an ideological gain.
These facts and information are here to let you make informed decisions - not necessarily different ones.
The main purpose of the site is to reveal the outright lies and extreme spin that Michael Moore displays as fact in his work quite regularly - most notably in his most popular film Bowling for Columbine. The purpose is to give you the information you didn't see in the movie that is important to your decision making.
I don't care if you hate guns. I don't care if you hate America. I don't care if you hate Charlton Heston. And I don't care if you hate me.
I DO care if you hold these convictions because of lies.
And I don't mean that in a way to where I am on a crusade to convert you. Not at all. Live in ignorance if you wish. Flop around in it like a pig in the mud and do so with my blessing (muddy pigs are funny).
My crusade is to fight for the people who don't accept disinformation. Who are looking for a tool to clean away the hogwash. This website is here to provide the ammunition that every honest person should hold within their intellectual arsenal. Use it - don't use it - shoot yourself in the head with it.
Use this website however you wish.
Yours,
Richard Bushnell
