I believe i broke at www.freerepublic.com, originally, by Michael Medved. I don't think this is something that can get twisted in translation so to speak.
I'd be just dumbfounded if this were true. I can somewhat appreciate Moore's tenacity, but if he were to overlook something like this, I'd have to question his mental stability and integrity.
"I like America to some extent." -- Michael Moore when asked "You do not seem to like the U.S., do you?"

Seems to me they, like Moore, are just supposedly telling the truth. I'm not much on politics, but stuff like this makes me sick.
a little insight on the hezbolla thing. y'see, this was based on an editorial in a film magazine that was reported as FACT by the British Guardian. later this story was further embellished by that unbiased organ of freedom "move america forward" and further by the national review and washington times (gee, lets read a paper owned by sun myung moon and think it's factual). and since when did moore sympathies with bin laden? the closest thing he ever said to that was stating in his last book that bin laden was heavily involved in a primarily Saudi plot.

Christopher Hitchens was on Scarborough Country tonight, and this is an excerpt from his article 3 days ago on MSN.com.
In late 2002, almost a year after the al-Qaida assault on American society, I had an onstage debate with Michael Moore at the Telluride Film Festival. In the course of this exchange, he stated his view that Osama Bin Laden should be considered innocent until proven guilty. This was, he said, the American way. The intervention in Afghanistan, he maintained, had been at least to that extent unjustified. Something—I cannot guess what, since we knew as much then as we do now—has since apparently persuaded Moore that Osama Bin Laden is as guilty as hell. Indeed, Osama is suddenly so guilty and so all-powerful that any other discussion of any other topic is a dangerous "distraction" from the fight against him. I believe that I understand the convenience of this late conversion.
In a nutshell, bin Laden is innocent according to Moore. I don't know if he's changed his stance on it in his movie or not.
There's plenty more of Moore's myths uncovered in this article, if you have some free time..
Well I have to agree with Moore on that one. Innocent until proven guilty is one of the bases of the American way. How do we know if he really did it? Sure he takes the credit, but who wouldn't. You hate America and suddenly this huge attack on them happens and you know that if you take the credit it would make you look better in the eyes of your supporters.
Who tells us Bin Ladin is guilty? Fox? Where do we get this intellegence? The same people who gave us the Iraq WMD intellegence? We don't know. We can't be certian.

I guess Michael Moore get's a taste of his own medicine. Very interesting when others expose his dirty laundry.

No that artical is all opinion, its trying to do what Micheal Moore does more effectivly. IMO the artical was stupid, Had no basis and was trying to refute all the facts in the movie.
And? If it is opinion the guy is entitled to it. Michael Moore likes to criticize and point other people's facts in his movies! He shouldn't have a problem with other people criticizing his work! IMO if he loves the truth so much...... He shouldn't have a problem when someone investigates his personal stuff.

Eh..nothing will be funnier than "UHF" or "Airplane!", IMO.

Did you guys catch any of this mornings trials? The guy was passing the buck on to everyone else, and speaking in 3rd person like he was The Rock!
Either he is totally delusional and honestly doesn't know that he himself is Saddam Hussein, or he needs a Hollywood agent immediately.
