Exactly what do you back them up with? Candy?

BTW, I'm not Republican (which I pointed out in my first post) and Xantar is a liberal (I think), just not one of the hysterical scaremongering variety.

Germenator, I do agree that at times bowlingfortruth.com does exagerrate, and moorewatch can be even worse but they're by contributors so it goes from post to post. Your example of the piece on the Indians I noticed also and found it to be a bit offensive. While Moore is oversimplistic about his accusations, so is the site in that manor. Anyone who has heard of the trail of tears knows that the Native Americans were not treated well. I also don't agree with the authors assertions on Marilyn Manson's contribution to Columbine. In this he becomes a victim of his passion much like Moore.

Visiting those sites is much like watching the Fox News Channel. You can learn a lot that no one else will tell you, but you also have to take it with a grain of salt, or in Moore's case an 8 ball of heroin.

If you want a great, level headed sober opinion, Jonah Goldberg is your man.
