I found this para particularly relevant:

"Moore described his movie as an "op-ed piece," not a documentary. Well, I know

You don't just go for the gut. You try, gulp, reason."

Why are you telling US this?

Because I care more about you guys than I do the Republican conventioneers? Man
their speakers do drone on, don't they?

Why aren't you on the podium at the Republican

For a party that detests Moore, they are bigger liars and
prevaricators (and True Liarnators) than Moore.  :-)

Agreed. But besides the point I was making, which is that Moore damages his

He's, in this case, right but he does the issues a disservice.

I posted this because I thought it interesting that I was not the only one to
hold this view
