Flint does not like Michael Moore

The mayor and the newspapers in Flint have said derogatory things about Michael Moore for showing Flint in a bad light. As for his movies he distorts the truth. in Bowling for Columbine for example, he distorted reality. He showed himself going into a gunstore and buying a gun and made it appear that he walked out with one 20 minutes later. The reality was that he cut out the footage of a 72 hour background check. Dont be so gullible and believe everything you see. Beware of the Govenment/media complex. Dont let your critical thinking be destroyed by ABCNNBCBS!!!

" We'll keep shooting them down as they continue to blow up our marketplaces and teach their children in elementary school that Jews are the reason they suffer, not that they suffer because they practice a culture that is so obsolete in the modern/big/real world that they can't pay for stuff with camels anymore"

as for the palestinians joining the nazis...well we joined the russians and later demonized them as evil empire, and back in the day the brits were our enemy and now we are so attached they should be the 52nd state..at least one thing is more or less constant: we've hated the french most of the time...

this is why the violence continues both sides are idiotic...well at least you will not be a doctor with all that empathy and cultural understanding..so exactly who are you to assume that in our technological advanced age of enviromental destruction and genocide on the million scale to say that the simple life of farming and trdaing camels isn't better?

as for el cid

i didn't say the CIA provided them with anything i said the state department okd sale from US research labs and that there is public record of. do you seriously think that in this age of not being able to get ahold of the presidents "public" service and arrest records anyone will find proof of anything the CIA is doing?

"The reality was that he cut out the footage of a 72 hour background check" well i don't have time to sit in a theater for 72 hours, here's a reality check for you: both sides of an issue spin things. but you are right he should have gone to ANY gun show in the country and walked out with any military grade weapon of his choice with ammo.....

and did the mayor of flint happen to be republican in a republican state? hmm CYA is the name of politics and since the mayor is doing such a great job there he wouldn't need help right....i've only driven through flynt it looked as bad as detroit...

i think we should nuke the vatican, mecca, jerusalem and give everyone a clean start....at least we couldn't fight for a thousand years there right?

i just want to restate i am not a democrat i vote republican 80% of the time i just don't trust the guy in office now, never did, never beleived in going to war with iraq that is my main issue with this clown full of run on sentences that everyone mistakes as "honest straight forward talk"..actually its probably a combination of a C education, daddy helping in the college acceptance and brain trauma secondary to cocaine intoxication and etoh abuse but thats just going by what happens to everyone else when they abuse etoh and cocaine...we all know big daddy cheney is running the show, during the seven minute stare it was him who issued the orders....a marine corps general came out after seeing that movie and said he had seen that stare before in combat and would releive anyone in charge of troops having that same look....has anyone seen the seven minute stare? its amazing and that is when i turned to the anyone but bush camp.....this guy is no war time leader, i think my lieutenenat could have reacted with more assertivenss and he was fresh out of the academy...

and don't try the save the little children routine, if he really wanted to keep the children safe he would have gotten himself out of reach of them as soon as possible...the only thing missing was a blanky and him sucking his thumb waiting for big daddy to bail him out like at the hearings, can't go without daddy....

ah the great persuding arguments of our time: every liberal hates america and every conservative a nazi. Anyone who takes such adolecent lazy views is a walking breathing embarrassment their camp. I hope those who promote those views understand the subtlies of medicine better than they do that of society and politics

I found that remark to be racist towards arabs and uncalled for.

Michael Moore

I saw Bowling for Columbine. The gun issue is near and dear to my heart. All of his statistics were wrong. Even if they weren't, gun ownership is one of the cornerstones of freedom. Without guns in private hands, the government can do what they please. The founding fathers made it the SECOND ammendment. We don't have the second ammendment so we can have a military. We have a second ammendment BECAUSE we have a military.

One of the dumbest points Moore makes is regarding that picture of the airplane fuselage sitting in a field (in Iraq, is it?) He says they use it to train flight attendants, not terrorists. Gimme a break. Training flight attendants in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere....yeah. G

"Without guns in private hands, the government can do what they please"

even with all our guns the governement is doing what it wants but i see your point...the constitution actually calls for a "well armed militia" not a thousand rednecks shooting freeway signs while downing some mad dog.

i am all for a well organized militia and handguns in the homes, i do have issue with military spec machine guns, deck sweepers, and cop killers, even though they are fun as hell to shoot...

and micro either way its spooky...

The mayor and the chamber of commerce not liking Moore is not the same as "Flint" not liking Moore. And yeah, they don't like him because he makes them look like donkeyes in "Roger & Me" and in it's sequel. What the city council thinks isn't always what the blue-collar working man thinks.

Regarding the gun issue, I never commented on that. I just commented on the lengths Moore has gone to in his films to try to help the working people of his town in the best way he knows how as a film-maker. And I definitely didn't say I believe every thing Moore has said. I just said I don't think he is an "America hater". Sorry, Tony Shepard, that just doesn't wash.
