Moore's bodyguard busted for carrying a gun?
Bwahahahaha! That's some funny shit! Oh, that was bad. Oh my god, that was bad. This is like Rush and the drugs, only small-time and really embarrassing.

Oh, that poor bastard, he's gonna pay for that for years and years and years.

And I like the guy, you know?

1. It was all a lie.
Fox made a correction on their website or something. There was a post about it here earlier this morning...

2. He should be allowed to
IN most free states, anyone with a clean record is allowed to exercise this important civil right.

5. not so...
he was not Moore's bodyguard...he was assigned to Moore once...and Moore wasn't with him when the incident happend.

But of course the right is already saying that Moore is a hypocrite because of this...They say that he detests guns but has a bodyguard carrying a gun...

Well...If I was Moore I would want a bodyguard with a gun also...especially knowing that those crazed retard Rethuglicans were out to get me...

They are stupid...they are reaching for anything now to beat up on Michael Moore...

7. Moore doesn't detest guns
In Bowling for Columbine, Moore points out that guns are not the problem, so much as our American cowboy culture that uses guns to solve complex problems. He points out that Canada has roughly the same gun ownership ratios as the US, without the violence. Moore is an NRA lifetime member and won a marksmanship award in his youth, so while he may not be a gun nut, it would hardly be accurate to say he detests guns.

My sister had a cartoon poster of Lucy (Peanuts) with a sign that said, "I love humanity, it's people I can't stand." Moore's attitude about guns, as expressed in the film "Bowling for Columbine," might well be, "I'm okay with guns, its America's 'kill first and ask questions later' culture I can't stand."

Yes, Faux News blew it again, but even if it were true, where is the hypocrisy? If anyone really needs an armed bodyguard, it is Michael Moore.

8. Remember Alan Berg!
Alan was an early 80's talkshow DJ in Denver...he was a liberal, chicago born wizard who took on the 'reagan revolution' (i've often wondered why going back to a caveman days ethos is so 'revolutionary) head on, and he loved debating the neonazis and racists and 'freepers' who called in, plus often ridiculing the 'politically correctness' of some leftwing callers..Alan was what rush limbah-humbug later became, and Alan was resisting the mighty goofball, (unlike limbah-humbug, who's the goofball's mouth) Naturally, the neo nazis targetted Alan, between robbing armoured cars etc...3 of them murdered Alan in '85(?) there's a good book called 'talked to death' that tells Alan's story...yer damned right Mike needs bodyguards....

6. Believe it or not, the best debunk is at www.moorewatch.com!
I wonder how many people at Faux News are going to be fired?
