  • He IS an enemy of the state.

    Exactly how is he an enemy of the state? What has he done to harm it?

    • He became an enemy of the state the moment his largely inaccurate film became both a recruiting tool and propaganda for Hezbollah via Front Row.

      And, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who likens the Iraqi insurgents as "the Minuteman of Iraq" is a putrid piece of shit.

        How is that his fault?

        Since when does a "putrid piece of shit" require a "bullet in the head"? There's plenty of PPoSes in this country. That's one of the great things about it! You are FREE to be a PPoS!

          I am not sure if I should laugh at this exchange or make an answer to it.

          I do emphatically believe that Mr. Moore told the "truth" as he wanted us to see it and not how it actually is.

          I do also believe he is scum for the very fact that while overseas he spewed vile crap about the United States. He is no patriot. BUT, he is still entitled to that opinion. I served in the military to make sure that EVERYONE could speak out, regardless of whether they are a whack job or not.

          • I do emphatically believe that Mr. Moore told the "truth" as he wanted us to see it and not how it actually is.

            There's a word for that - it's called "lying".

            He is no patriot. BUT, he is still entitled to that opinion.

            This is war, and when an opinion turns into a 2 hour movie, and distributed by Hezbollah (with the help of Michael Moore) as a recruiting and propaganda tool you have, in my opinion, exceeded the First Amendment's protection of "opinion" and crossed into enemy territory.

            • Well, at least we agree he is scum.
            • This is war...

              This is the problem I have with your argument.

              Only congress can make a formal declaration of war. [fact-index.com]

              Have they? (I certainly could not find it via google.)

              Apparently some believe that the constitution is an anachronism and should no longer be followed [house.gov].

              It would certainly make things a bit easier (or, at least more legitimate) if it wasn't just one wacko (Bush) and his friends doing whatever the fsck they wanted.

              • And those "some" would be wrong! Our founding father's knew exactly what they were doing in creating a republic and not a democracy. Most of the people who advocate a change are socialist and not democratic.

                This is war...

                While there was no formal declaration of war, Congress overwhelmingly gave President Bush the authority to do what he did.

            • There's a word for that - it's called "lying".

              Yes... and when the previous president did it (yeah... I changed the subject from Moore to lying) they impeached him.

              What should happen to a president that lies and causes the deaths of American citizens as a direct result of those lies?

              (and... to get back on topic)

              In my mind, what Bush has done is orders of magnitude worse that what Moore has done.

              Take them both out of circulation...

              • You are crazy.

                Do you really think that F911 isn't going to inspire some terrorists into action? Please, that is ignorance.

                • Do you really think that F911 isn't going to inspire some terrorists into action?

                  Why would it? I saw it, but I most certainly must have missed the part you are talking about... If anything they should be laughing their ass off about how easily bushco was manipulated.

                  The majority of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia... and right now the country is on its hands and knees begging for a few more drops of oil so the price will go down a little before the next election.

                  Few, if any, of the terrorist that co
                  • Then I was right.
                  • Few, if any, of the terrorist that committed F911 have been dealt with. (not counting the actual members aboard the aircraft) Even the Taliban is still running around doing business.

                    We've captured or killed most of the top men in both al Qaeda and the Taliban, and virtually destroyed their primary bases and cut off most of their primary funding.
              • Yes... and when the previous president did it ... they impeached him.

                When he did it *under oath*, yes.

                What should happen to a president that lies and causes the deaths of American citizens as a direct result of those lies?

                You have two problems.

                First, I've never seen proof Bush lied. I don't know what you are specifically referring to, but the most common thing stated is WMD. Just because he got it wrong does not mean he lied.

                Second, the war was going to happen regardless of any one of the specific
          • I'm not sure how "no patriot" applies. M-W says "patriot" means "one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests". I don't see that questioning the validity of the war in Iraq as non-patriotic. I'd say the war in Iraq undermines our authority and interests in many cases.
