Nope, doesn’t seem like a good lawerly way to describe lying. Keep trying.
Here’s what they say about the Al Franken Ann Coulter debate on the ultra right Free Republic forum: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1135991/posts
(“He kept interrupting her! That was unfair!” LOL. But interrupting’s not unfair when they do it on Fox news Channel, is it?)
I was wrong, the debate was a month ago.

If you were actually trying to reply to what I wrote, your whole post is a non-sequiter.
That’s very dangerous thinking. Not disagreeing with the government…yeah, I think Hitler was a proponent of that, as well.
If you were familiar with the writings of Thomas Jefferson (“it is a citizen’s duty to disobey unjust laws”), among many other great Americans…you’d understand that questioning the government’s actions is indeed the patriotic American stance to take.
The diffrance between the guys and gals that you have mention and Moore. With the exeption of maybe Ann Coulter is that they know where they stand. And they know their politics.
Moore, is just a conteravisial documentray flim writer and author and just out there to use or grab people’s attention for his benifits and no oneelse. Basiclly he’s playing politics for one big score “Farenhiet 9/11” and hit a home run with it and you’ll never hear from again. After this election wheather or not Bush Wins or Loses I garuantee that you will not see Moore too much in the spotlight after the elections.
No one has been able to reveal the “fiction” in Farhenheit 9/11, try as they may.
Most of the attacks are personal attacks on Moore, with the film itself left relatively unscathed.
The only attacks I’ve heard on the film itself have nothing to do with whether it’s true or not:
“It’s election-year propaganda.”
Of course Moore is capitalizing with his timing. So does everyone else. At least it’s true unlike the Swift Boat ads.
“We shouldn’t question Bush or question America. I’m one of those jackasses who puts an American flag sticker on the side of my Dodge Caravan.”
YES, we should question Bush, just as we questioned Clinton and everyone else. The foundation of America is questioning authority and not putting up with any lying and BS from the government.
are you retarded? everyone from liberal newsrag Newsweek to the Nationa review have shown the inaccuraccies and factual mistakes that MM makes…stop talking out of your ass.

BY FAR the most damaging material in Fahrenheit 9-11 is the unedited footage of George Bush making a jackass out of himself. George Bush is the star of the movie… Whatever he says, he said it. Period!!!
Someday, when you see the movie, you will understand that.
However, your party desperately hopes that will never happen, at least not until after November.
Editing sequences out of context and then placing them together in order to make someone look bad is fiction at best. Character assasination at worst. Moore appeals to the worst in all liberals.
Michael Moore - Do not like him. He continues to say Bush lied even though three seperate investigations and the Russian president said he did not. He’s on planet Moore.
Rush - Never listen to him. I think he’s a good entertainer, but distorts his things his way. I can’t listen to the same thing everyday.
Hannity and Colmes - Like the show. Both of them distort for their party. It’s quite funny to watch that.
O’Reilly - Like the show. He questions both sides of the fence. When you get liberal celebrities to come on your show, you’re doing something right. He also keeps up with stories that have nothing to do with politics. I think the show would be boring as hell if it were 100% politics.
Mediamatters.org is a liberal bias website. I will never read anything on something that is overwhelmingly left or right.
If you want a good website, check out factcheck.org. They actually break down and cut out the BS from the political ads.
On that same note, I think these swift boat ads are stupid as hell. Who the hell cares what Kerry did in vietnam. I’m paying attention to his career in politics. He’s a liberal, Bush is a conservative. Plain and simple.
