I saw the movie but I didn't learn a lot of new stuff. I admit I was watching it with a bias against curerent administration.
As for the alleged lies, I don't think there are any in the movie. After all litigation is one of the major industries in the US these days, so I'm sure the White House would have taken care of the movie and Moore long before the movie even had a chance to be seen by the public.
A little note: the fact that Moore is fat or ugly (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) is totally irrelevant. Any mention of the fact seems to indicate that ad hominem attacks are the best Moore's opponents can do, which gives Moore even more amunition for his salvos. Ad hominem attacks are a sure sign of the attacker's weakness and lack of real and constructive arguments. We all know he is fat, but I haven't read one single post here proving, or even attempting to prove he is wrong or that the movie is full of lies.

For all the retards who are saying the movie is full of lies without seeing it
I will clue you in on some of lies
for one their isn't even really a mention of saddam himself too much in the movie so I don't know where Michael moore said he was a great guy
one thing moore did do that was sort of sleazy was the way he inferred that the person blacked out of bushes medical record was blacked out to hide who he was
moore tried to make it sound like the guy was blacked out because he was a rep of the bin ladin family, which he was
he was blacked out because you cannot release someone medical record without their permission bush released his ,the other guy didn't so he had to get blacked out, not some conspiracy
The part about the Saudi and bin ladin families being allowed to leave after 911 on private jets without questioning is all true
it is even documented in the 911 commission reports
the part about saudis having like a trillion dollars in our banks is true
the part about Halliburton making millions of the Iraq war and the reconstruction is all true
the part about the deal unical made with the Taliban to create an oil line across Afghanistan are all true
The Saudi families bailing bush out of his failed oil dealings
his friendship with ken lay
convicted felons of Enron helping to make out countries energy policy that's all true
the facts don't need Michael moore
his slants and inferences give fuel for his critics
if he just reported the facts he would make a stronger argument
Just curious for all people who say the movie is full of lies
can please list some so I can see if you any clue what you are talking about
I personally like the part where he sat for 7 minutes like a deer in headlights after the first plane hit the tower
he was sitting in a preschool rading to some kids
let me see if I can shed some light on the falsehoods
the part where president bush says
"lets get tough on terrrorism , now watch this drive"
on the golf course he is talking about palistinan terrrorits moore editied that seem like he was talking about 911

Well I saw the movie last night. The cinema was sold out and people clapped at the end. I thought it was excellent. I was going to do a summary but ferret has beaten me to it

Rivux: You said IMR is drawing in the reject croud, or existing members were making new accounts to express their opinions, you were implying that all those who had joined just to discuss this topic were rejects, which is an accusation...

I think michael moore is great
I think michael moore is great.
I can not say if the facts are true or not, but it does do one thing.
His movies get people questioning and even if the facts were not all true, the underlining message is put into the public arena for discussion.

I like how Michael Moore criticizes the Bush administration for using lies and deception to further their case, and then does the exact same thing in his movies.
He's fighting on the right side, but doing it in a horrible way. I'm rather left wing and even I don't like the guy.

"Our country is in a war against an enemy who would destroy our way of life, our culture and kill our people," Fridley wrote. "These barbarians have shown through (the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001) and the recent beheadings that they will stop at nothing. I believe this film emboldens them and divides our country even more."
Hahaha... what an idiot. Just where is there a connection between 911 and Iraq? Saudies where the ones behind this, everyone knows that. Of course onf of the many deceptions of Bush is fabricating a link between Iraq and 911 as that was pretty much the only way to get the war started... a war Bush wanted to started before 911.

You do. I think two posts ago you just said "Haha! What an idiot!", which is by no means the epitome of skillful debate.

Recent beheadings were done by the same people who killed thousands of innocent civilians on Sept 11th - Muslim Fundamentalists. It's not a national thing. No Gov't were involved in the September 11 attacks. Not Iraq. Not Saudi Arabia. It was done by Muslim Fundamentalists regardless of nationality.
The war in Iraq is not a war on the Iraqi people. It is, and always has been, a war to liberate Iraq from the enemy.
The unspoken truth is that these people are barbarians with no respect for human life. They are the enemy of every civilized person who respects life and liberty and all those principles we hold dear.
When Iraqi children die in this war, civilized mankind mourns. We sincerely mourn the loss of life. But when American children died in the Sept 11 attacks, Muslim Fundamentalists danced and rejoiced in the streets.
When we disagree with what others do, we do not take journalists captive and saw their heads off. But that's what these Muslim Fundamentalists do, and are praised by their peers for doing.
You know, bytech, I'm don't like Bush that much either, but I'm not going to oppose democracy and lend support to a murdering tyrant just to spite Bush. Somewhat counterproductive, don't you think? You make it appear as if Bush is the supporter of human life and the Left believe in letting murderers continue about murdering.

I haven't seen Moore's movies, but from everything I've read about Michael Moore and his movies, I can honestly say that I am left with an impression that he is a rather slimey sort of character. I am not saying that he is a slimey character, I am saying that this is the general impression I get, having read several articles and comments about him and his movies. This, in and of itself, is not a "good thing", to me.
