What's misleading?
Saying that in itself isn't. But trying to say that Gore somehow deserved to win because of it is indeed misleading. Obviously MORE of this country wanted Bush. The bigger cities with MORE people wanted Gore.

Never said he "deserved to win" because of it. I do know all about how the presidential elections work in this country, thanks. I simply said he got more votes...which he did.

So you're saying that even though she wanted to do this movie (probably because she wanted people to hear what she had to say), Moore shouldn't have used it? Even though that's obviously what she wanted?

Do you think she called him up asking him to? Of course not.

he was LOOKING for people like this to exploit . That is what is pathetic.

To use a man's death, esp one that fought and died for his country, as a political tool for propaganda. I wonder what he would say about what Moore did.

Again. US Government 101:

The popular vote does not elect the president. All your numbers show are what they usually show. There was no clear popular person for the office according to those who bothered to show up and vote.

You interested in popular vote statistics?

Tell me, how is it misleading zach? People hear "Gore won more votes" and think "How did Bush win" ?

I have had people ask me that. I then have showed them that picture, and then they say "aaaah, makes a bit more sense now"

Putting things into perspective.

Of course that guy wasn't a political zealot.

And some people think counties mean something when clearly they do not.

This is the map you should be showing people. And it even shows more land area, which is apparently what helps it "make sense" for the dummies that don't know how elections work. Confusing them with pictures of counties is not putting things into perspective any more than popular vote. Both are worthless statistics.

You are correct in that the electoral vote puts a man in the Whitehouse.
It would be nice to have the popular vote, because then the country will support your initiative whole-heartedly. Reagan was very successful, as was Nixon. Too bad about that Watergate thing. Look at Kennedy though! He was horrible at 18 out of the top 20. I guess he just worked harder to earn the people's oppinions.

He didn't say "doesn't it?", he said "shouldn't it?". So stop quoting from a page you already linked to.

From this past election, it seems to have meant more than the popular vote. But you are right, neither really mean anything.

Bush took more counties than Gore. A lot more. But like you said, it means about as much as the popular vote.

My map was more detailed. Showing exactly who won in what county. I know the lefty's don't like that picture though. I hardly ever show it. Only when people use the tired old "Gore won the popular vote" silliness. As if it means anything.

Gore won the popular vote.

Bush won more counties than Gore.

Bush won the election.

That last one is all that matters.

Election schmelection. You mean, the Supreme Court elected Bush for us, right? [/troll]

And I don't remember seeing anyone say the popular vote meant anything.

I'm waiting to see the film before I give my opinion of it.

So what did Moore actually lie about in this film? I'm honestly curious. The guy presents facts, and he gives his biased opinion on them�he's not always fair about it, but Moore's admitted as much. Doesn't the film really raise some serious questions that should be asked of the administration? I don't think it's unpatriotic to question your leader's motives. This is the man's agenda�all you snide, bickering tits have your own agendas. I don't think this makes it any less legitimate, either, no matter if you agree with his opinion of the situation or not. At least see the thing before we go after each others' throats.

(CNSNews.com) - One of the central charges made by left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore in his upcoming, Bush-bashing film is being undermined by another critic of the president -- former White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke.

Moore's upcoming film, Fahrenheit 911, points to President Bush's rumored relationship with Saudi officials as the motivating factor in the president allegedly allowing relatives of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden to fly out of the country following the Sept.11, 2001 terror attacks.

But Clarke recently admitted that he alone approved the exit of the bin Laden kin -- damaging the key premise of Moore's film.

Chris Horner, a GOP strategist, finds irony in the fact that the credibility of Moore's film is being undermined by one of Bush's biggest critics even before the film is released in the United States


Here is another interesting story.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=39079


The company distributing filmmaker Michael Moore's Bush-bashing movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" says it won't reject an offer of help from Middle East terrorist organization Hezbollah.

\ many theater owners are showing caution about running overtly political film, which officially opens nationwide on Friday.

Last month, the Moore and his partners boasted the movie would be rolled out in more than 1,000 theaters nationwide.

Later, that number was revised to "about 1,000." The next estimate was 750. In recent days, the guess had dropped to below 500.

"Michael Moore has made it clear that this film is nothing more than an attempt to undermine support for the war on terrorism, and movie theater operators have made it clear they wish to have no part in Moore's anti-military propaganda," said Howard Kaloogian, chairman of Move America Forward. "This movie is about as popular as ice in Antarctica, and movie theaters are giving Michael Moore's 'bash America' flick a chilly reception."


http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/du...cs/8838660.htm

Rep. Mark Kennedy, a Republican, is a little annoyed at leftist film maker Michael Moore after an edited version of an interview between the two appeared in the trailer for Moore's upcoming U.S. release of the film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

"I was walking back to my office after casting a vote, and all of a sudden some oversized guy puts a mike in my face and a camera in my face," Kennedy said. "He starts asking if I can help him recruit more people from families of members of Congress to participate in the war on terror."

Kennedy said he told Moore that he has two nephews in the military, one who has just been deployed in the Army National Guard. But to Kennedy's annoyance, his response to Moore was cut from the trailer, which was released Thursday. His response was also cut from the film, according to a spokeswoman for the movie.

"The interesting thing is that they used my image, but not my words," Kennedy said. "It's representative of the fact that Michael Moore doesn't always give the whole story, and he's a master of the misleading."

A spokeswoman for the fiercely anti-Bush film, which has found a U.S. distributor after the Walt Disney Co. refused to release it, said she had no comment.

A transcript released by the film's producers shows Moore telling Kennedy that "there is only one member (of Congress) who has a kid over there in Iraq." He asks Kennedy to help him pass out literature encouraging others "to get their kids to enlist in the Army and go over to Iraq."

Kennedy replies, "I'd be happy to. Especially those who voted for the war. (As Kennedy did.) I have a nephew on his way to Afghanistan."

To which Moore replies: "I appreciate it."

Anne Mason, Kennedy's spokeswoman, said Friday that Kennedy now has one nephew in the military and another one who got out of the Navy since the Moore interview. In addition, Kennedy's cousin's son recently completed his military service.


Another good article.

The film, which you haven't even seen, is composed of actual film clips of Bush. People can draw conclusions about Bush (positive or negative) from those actual film clips, without regard to anything Moore says or does. Cadaver drew certain conclusions despite his dislike of Moore.

This is very much like the Bush ad that you defended despite the fact that it does essentially the same thing: uses actual film clips of Democrats, in some cases out of context, to reveal something about them, from which people can draw their own conclusions.

Here ya go, Zimph:

WHAT THE FILM SAYS:

Sen. Byron Dorgan: We had some airplanes authorized at the highest levels of our government to fly to pick up Osama Bin Laden's family members and others from Saudi Arabia and transport them out of this country.

Narration: It turns out that the White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis. At least six private jets and nearly two dozen commercial planes carried the Saudis and the Bin ladens out of the U.S. after September 13th. In all, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country.

Additionally, in an interview with author Craig Unger, the film makes reference to the fact that these individuals were briefly interviewed before they were allowed to leave.

No, a dead man that had died for his country was being exploited for purely political purposes.

And not even honest ones.

He was used to spread FUD.

Shame on Michael Moore. And shame on the Mooreons that defend his actions.

One of the central charges made by left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore in his upcoming, Bush-bashing film is being undermined by another critic of the president -- former White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke.

Moore's upcoming film, Fahrenheit 911, points to President Bush's rumored relationship with Saudi officials as the motivating factor in the president allegedly allowing relatives of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden to fly out of the country following the Sept.11, 2001 terror attacks.

But Clarke recently admitted that he alone approved the exit of the bin Laden kin -- damaging the key premise of Moore's film.


I guess they didn't watch it either huh?

I guess Clarke hadn't seen it either.

And not even honest ones.

He was used to spread FUD.

Shame on Michael Moore. And shame on the Mooreons that defend his actions.
Do you know what Sgt. Michael Pedersen said in his final letter? Here:

"He [Bush] got us out here for nothing whatsoever. I am so furious right now, Mama,"

In response to your claim, 'He is not the "highest level of our government'."

Why don't you see it, so you can find out for yourself?

I believe I said I was going to watch it many times in this thread

I'll make sure not to drink any liquids during the viewing. I wouldn't want it coming out of my nose from laughter.

A friend of mine works in the Movie theater. His boss is a real liberal nut. He is going to let me and a few others watch it around 12am Monday.

For free.
