Dyflon, if Michael Moore doesn't care that the Congressman had a nephew overseas, why did he take the time to carefully edit out his full response, yet leave in his initial expression? Why not just edit it out competely, or leave it in the whole response if he was going to use it at all?
Answer, and an obvious one at that: It might actually make a republican look like he's not a completely evil member of a secret society out to destroy the world. He cared that the Congressman didn't look like a complete son of a bitch, so he edited it out, like he does with ANY response that doesn't suit his agenda. He does this in ALL of his movies and Bowling for Columbine is his most shining example.
For Michael Moore to allow anyone he does not agree with politically to be viewed as anything but stupid, or evil in his would offend his own beliefs.
He omitted it on purpose to decieve, therefore it is a lie.
And Stonecutter, you can still vote for a President when you are an independent, you just can't vote in a primary, as primaries' purpose IS FOR A POLITICAL PARTY TO CHOOSE A CANDIDATE. If Michael Moore wants to be able to choose the Democratic nominee, then he has to consider himself a member of the Democratic party. But then again, I suppose Michael Moore wants to be able to have it both ways, which is a pattern for him.
Also, considering his penchant for lying, I am not willing to "take him at his word" that he is independent. All the evidence in the world says he is a Democrat, therefore he is a Democrat. Thats how it works. In the real world its what you do and whether or not you have factual evidence that counts, not just what you say. I don't believe Mr. Moore ever got that memo.
One last thing, what do you think about Moore not voting in three years? He always said he wanted to have change in his lifetime, but he hasn't done anything in three years to directly attempt to make change. A little odd don't you think? Maybe...
hypocritical?
