    Who asked where the faux centrists were?

    Sorry but they are not ludicrous at all. They all use different outlets for their creative energies and all have no problem taking creative liberties -- or flat out lying -- to enhance their position or arguments and promote themselves.

    Your problem is you can't see past your own biases.

    I'm joking with FB, Pastor... Hard to follow, maybe. You wrote, "... nobody seems to have a problem with the conservative parallels that are vastly more mainstream and influential than the Michael Moore movie that comes out once ever few years."

    I pointed out that thread where I made "the conservative parallels." After I had done that, FB called me a "faux centrist."

    When FB just weighed in and said he stands by it, my joke was that you asked earlier on this thread where the faux centrists are (i.e. FB called me a faux centrist for comparing Michael Moore to Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter) and me having felt validated by being able to raise my hand.

    I guess I should have read FB's post.

    Damn faux centrist.

    Apparently, Moore interviewed Roger Smith on two separate occasions prior to and during the filming of "Roger & Me." Of course, an acknowledgement of this by Moore would pretty much negate the entire premise of his breakthrough film, so he continues to pretend it isn't an issue of credibility.

    Simply wrong.

    But this board is nothing if not intractable.

    Moronic comparison.

    And one wonders why we are considered the toy department.

    Michael Moore (right) meets his lookalike and intellectual superior.

  11. Your problem is you don't think. But that's neither here nor there.
    I would propose that either you -- or Ragu -- find any public position taken by Ms. Coulter that approaches the sublety and nuance of Moore's position on guns in Bowling For Columbine, assuming you can judge that movie honestly.

    How and why should anyone honestly judge a movie that, like all of Moore's work, is most noteworthy for its dishonesty?
