The Blowhard is at it again

[Radio]

How distorted and spun do you think this version of the interview is??





BOSTON - I finally tracked down Michael Moore. I saw him walking in the street outside the Democratic convention center and pounced on him like the paparazzi on J.Lo. Moore had been dodging me because his movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," was becoming increasingly indefensible by something called "facts."
But to his credit, Moore took up my street challenge and agreed to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor." We debated for 10 minutes, and here's what happened:

* He said President Bush "lied" about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction even though the 9/11 commission, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation and Lord Butler's British investigation all say Bush did not lie.

* Moore defines a "lie" as anything that turns out not to be true. By following this logic, weather forecasters must now be categorized as pathologically dishonest.

* Moore said he would not have attacked the Taliban government in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attack. Instead, he would have captured Osama Bin Laden by using "commandos." Apparently, Moore believes the Taliban would have allowed his commandos to root out Osama and his boys with impunity. He related the commando strategy to me with a straight face.

9. Shows you are not as smart as you think you are.

I have seen plenty of topics concerning Bill and many of his views. I have seen people post threads from the Freerepublic to show how rediculous they are. If I would have though it a big deal I wouldn't have done it. Didn't know the Party police would be lurking. Stand down. Lower the DEFCON. Your going to be alright Sherlock.

4. Bill, you semi-literate sow sac

Clinton and Carter both have suggested Moore's movie be seen. Which ex-presidents have recommended your books or show?

Which repub "heavyweights" are you going to rub elbows with at your convention? Will the speakers be required to quote you in their speeches?

And why would we ever think you don't like someone who lives in a world where truth doesn't exist?

6. Very Sorry

I have seen longer articles than that though in the General Discussion. But I won't do it again. As for the source. I recieved this in an email and I assume it came from Bills website. Which is why it is probably spun in all different directions. I doubt seriously that is how the interview even went.

8. the entire thing is spin

consider the source...why even ask?

10. I wasn't asking

I was pointing out as I have seen countless others on this site do. But I didn't see you lacing up your commando boots to call bullshit or accuse. If you don't like the thread I recomend you simply not read it. Thank you.

I believe I'll take your advice and avoid any of your further threads.
