A defense of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine"

There's an excellent article over on kuro5hin, defending the Michael Moore film, Bowling For Columbine against freeperish attacks such as the classic David Hardy piece. Well worth reading even if you haven't been fallen for the anti-Moore rhetoric.

The only fault I have ever had with the movie is that he didn't bring out the fact the the years of bulling played in this sad incident.

His next movie:
Snip
Plot Summary for
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

a documentary that will trace why the U.S. has become a target for hatred and terrorism. It will also depict alleged dealings between two generations of the Bush and bin Laden clans that led to George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden becoming mortal enemies.

Their message board about this movie is filled with right wing hatred, but that won't stop Moore.

2. Michael Moore and Indiana Jones???????

I just watched the Indiana Jones trilogy and in the credits the second assistant director is a Michael Moore. Is this the same person? These movies came out in the 80's, so it could be around the time he was learning the trade.

5. I agree

I was so pissed that the 'buulying' didn't get much attention because 'victims rights' groups jumped all over anyone that said anything about it.

Those kids were treated to hell each school day and no one is allowed to say it.
