This is in reply to Moore's responce to some of the right-wing "Whacko Attackos" on his Web site. His own sourcing, however, often disproves him.
He posted the entire text of a Heston speech, alongside the clips that ran in the film. With a multi-window browser, however, one can run both at once and follow along. It's obvious how Moore edited the speech to skip conciliatory remarks and make the remaining ones sound harsh.
He admits to a flaw in his altering of an anti-Dukakis commercial—without admitting that he edited the commercial. In the film, his editing appears to be an original part of the advertisement.
He stands by the assertion that the Lockheed-Martin plant near Columbine makes "weapons of mass destruction," and provides an interview with an employee to prove it. The clip, however, shows that they currently make rockets...that carry satellites...which in turn can guide missiles. They have not made a nuclear weapon since the mid-1960s and only partially assembled Peacekeeper MX missiles in the mid-1980s.
