Bowling For Columbine
October 18, 19
Exploring the root of fear and violence existing in today's culture, activist filmmaker Michael Moore exmaines the affects of this nations widespread gun ownership while getting to the bottom of the Columbine High School and Flint, Michigan shootings: even if that means confronting the powerful political and corporate elites with a bit a controversy along the way.

Bowling for Columbine is a fascinating insight into America's obsession with guns, violence and fear by outspoken, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore (Roger & Me). Moore mixes footage, outrageous animation and candid interviews with everyone from the NRA's Charlton Heston to shock-rocker Marilyn Manson in this "brilliant" (New York Post) tour de force of documentary filmmaking.

As the first documentary accepted into the prestigious Cannes Film Festival competition in 2002, Bowling for Columbine was also honored with a special 55th Anniversary Prize, an award created specifically for this film, and went on to win many other awards, including the Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature.

Please keep this kicked until airtime.

1. Just for the record I hate it when people (progressives especially)
bash Michael Moore. He may be a sensationalist, but he tells the truth.

2. Michael Moore is the reason
That mainstream America hates liberals, (or thinks they do)He is so far out to left of most of us that it is hard to take him seriously. Incidentally, Bowling for Columbine is so full of distortions that it is almost a crime to call it a "Documentary". I call it a "Fictition"...

Shall I elaborate? Or shall I elaborate on how Michael and the Hollywood left have destroyed the voice of Southern Conservative Democrats? Now we (Southern Democrats) are not even part of our own party anymore.... <sigh>

9. Michael Moore...
Is a documented liar....FACT! Do you want the whole list of fabrications?

Yes goodbye to the Dixiecrats...You can kiss our rear ends as we head out the door because all that is left of the Dem party is a bunch of tofu eating lunatics that worship idiots like Michael Moore, Barbra Striesand and Georgie Looney Clooney....

Just dont start crying about how the Repugs keep winning elections while we keep losing...Tofu eaters dont represent the mainstream - Shumer's admonitions to Roberts about being in the mainstream are like the hollow thunks of the fractured Liberty Bell...

So I guess its more important for you to be right then it is to be strong...While you are french kissing Sheehan and her ilk - remember "get the National Guard out of occupied New Orleans"? Remember that you have no power, you ARE "outside the loop" and will reduce the Democratic Party to an even weaker position then it already is.

Lets view exactly what the Michael Moore crowd has done for us in the last 10 years....

We lost the House....oops
then we lost the White House....oh my
Now we lost the Senate....Jeez...what gives?

Thank you Michael and Barbra and company....you MORONS (correct spelling) have lost it all...hope youre happy!

12. He's "Looney"
'cuz it rhymes with Clooney. Get it? :crazy:

Yeah... I guess us birkenstock-wearing, democracy-loving, tofu-eating, environment-saving, equality-seeking Democrats had better abandon ship and let the guns, motorcycles and testosterone crowd run the show.

We all know the way to beat the repubs is to be more conservative than they are! :sarcasm:

14. Just out of curiosity, I might add that bush is a documented liar, also a
failure at everything he has ever attempted.

Moore might have made some errors in judgment, but he is NOT the reason the RW hates Dems...he is merely an obvious target for them to use against us. The "Swift Boat Vets for Truth" were some of the most visible liars that the media took up with...where were MM's "lies"...give me something to look at. Just saying that he is a liar is pretty poor reasoning, I have little reason to believe you any of these "lies" as being such. However, I see that the documented lies of bush have cost over 2 thousand American and untold Iraqi lives. The documented lies of bush have caused a great upsurge in al-Qaeda recruits, but I don't see the SBVfT jumping in to say they are partly responsible, because of the lies they spread to help get bush back into the WH????

What gives? Can you document and produce links to the lies of MM; I think the ones of bush are glaring, and HE is the reason I despise the GOP and those that support this semi-literate baboon.
