Re: Boycott Disney
 

Don't americans have the right to protest against their government?

This is a right that seems to have been forgotten lately as many people in the public eye have gotten in trouble for speaking out against Bush.

Back when Clinton was president you'd get a pat on the back for making fun of him.

Why is it that people who speak out against the government now are met with ridicule and called anti-american?

It's only fair to say what's wrong with society and government in hopes that it may get better.

Re: Boycott Disney
 

I must say that i think the term "Anti-American" is thrown out like beads on Mardi Gras. The term is used to loosly, i for one, like Micheal Moore, because he isnt afraid to say what he thinks is the truth, and he goes into it as to why. And i agree that he would be anti-american if he said "Kill the president" "Blow up America" "Praise 9/11" or just ran around the street screaming shooting bulletrs into the sky. No Micheal Moore isnt anti-american, hes just a very opinionated person. As is Howard Stern, is he anti-american?

(I dont want to start a big argument or cafuffle over this)

The only thing you have to realize about Bowling and Moore's other two films is this.


Conservatives/Republicans are made out to look really, really bad in his films.

Do you think Conservatives/Republicans enjoy being portrayed in such a manner?

Of course they don't.

Do you think that Conservatives/Republicans would do whatever they could to stop these films from being shown?

Of course they would (did.)

These films (Bowling/Roger and Me) never would have made the theater if anyone could provide evidence that Moore were lying.

The guy is completely clean, or these films never get shown.

Re: Boycott Disney
 

You don't need to outright lie, just stretch the truth. It's what whole businesses are based on (i.e. the entire justice system).

Re: Boycott Disney
 

You know, I can only post the information and links that point out that he does basically lie and at best severely twists the truth to meet his own political agenda. I can't make you read it or care.

Step outside of your political views for one second and realize that Michael Moore isn't helping your cause. When he shapes liberal opinions through lies and deceit he makes those very opinions invalid. Just think about this:

"If Michael Moore's work has changed the way that you view America and the government, and his work is essentially staged and carefully edited propoganda that constantly twists reality to meet a political agenda that has little to do with representing the truth, how valid could these views be?"

Michael Moore lies, I posted proof from 3 different sites (two of which are HIGHLY reputable and the first is suspect, I'll admit, but still makes interesting points), and the vocal leftists don't care and stand steadfast in their support of Moore.

This blows my mind. Information is posted about Halliburton that sheds light on possible theivery by their organization, and seeing this I do some research which supports it and join in because while I may be conservative, I can also think logically and make my own choices outside of political affiliation. And yet I'M the one that gets accused of blindly supporting Republicans and closing my mind, while you can't step outside your party affiliation for a moment to acknowledge cited facts I have put right in front of you.

And people get angry when I start throwing out terms like "intellectual dullards"... I should have just listened to Bond and stopped posting on political topics all together, because if this doesn't prove that many liberals on this board just don't care about the truth when it comes to politics, nothing will.

The Strangler has left the building.

Re: Boycott Disney
 

You're no better than any of us!

You claim your views to be true. That doesn't make them true. We claim our views to be true and that doesn't mean our views are always true either.

You're acting the same way as everyone else except you're whining about everyone else having different opinions.

You're being a dumbass.





















...and pompous.

Re: Boycott Disney
 

Michael Moore is not liberal. If you've watched some of his movies (especially Bowling for Columbine), when Moore was a Speaker at a college, he didnt tell people to join the Democratic party, I believe (and this is just what I remember because its been over a year since I've seen the movie) said to join the Independent Party because the current government parties suck at what they are doing and need reform.

Re: Boycott Disney
 

Yeah, strangler how are your opinions different from ours? We are all claiming the other side is wrong...so what makes either of us right? Nothing. The only way to get proof is to ask Micheal Moore.

And as we all know Websites tell nothing but the truth, like that one that said Andy Kauffman was still alive, or the one about the moon landing being fake, or the one about how the earth will end in the year 2000, or 'proof' that the dinosaurs never existed. I mean, these are all probably very reputable opinions, but only in these peoples eyes. It still doesnt make it right.

And Strangler no hard feelings, because i slightly like the fact that you act this way, because i like competition, but you are kind of being an arrogant pompous ass. Yes so are some of us, but you as well.
