12. There is something for
what one of the guys from tough crowd said, "if your going to complain about the excesses of American society you shouldn't weigh 400lbs."

Love the man all you want, that part of it can seem hypocritical.

20. Oh PLEASE.... Tell me you are joking!
If not, that's the most superficial claptrap I've heard in a while. He isn't complaining about the excesses of our society as it relates to obesity. He has a few more important subjects to address.

Congratulations for buying into such puerile nonsense.

Sheesh.

3. MM is a traitor. MM hates america.
Therefore, invalidating anything he says (in their minds).
Watch for the rw attacks on Moore to multiply.

8. Un-spinable, i.e., the King has no clothes
We just saw the trailer when we went to see Day After Tomorrow. Bush is his own worst enemy. And Michael is very funny but Bush is diabolically funny.

9. someone just tried to tell me
there's going to be a bunch of shady editing to make bush look bad, and that all the information presented in the film is going to be factually wrong.

13. right
i started to argue with them-- that there was no shady editing (they tried to claim the "now watch this drive" was edited to make bush look bad by cutting out what he said after that) and my next point was going to be, do you REALLY think he would put out a movie full of lies and erroneous information? don't you think that would totally defeat the purpose of the movie and the timing, when the media is already going to be scrutinizing to the point of insanity-- do you really think it's in his best interest to just make things up and lie?

23. Tell them to watch the trailer AGAIN
The "We've got to stop these terrorist killers" and "now watch this drive" is SEAMLESS. There is an edit from a medium shot to farther back to show the drive, but there is NO EDIT during GWB's comments to the press.

Then there's his "The haves ... and the have mores" comment at the fundraiser - HAHAHAHAHA - That's so funny!!!! NOT!

14. I doubt he has to do much editing
That bit about the "Haves and the have mores being his base was obviously not edited and that in itself is blatent contempt for the American people.
The comment about editing answers the spin question, thats what they did with Bowling For Columbine, "he edited the tapes to make Heston look bad." Moore refuted every claim against BFC in Dude, Wheres My Country, and anyone who took the time to research his claims would find out they are true. While Moore is slanted as far left as you can get, and he has a tendancy to manipulate the audience it doesn't mean what he says is false. I'm willing to bet, after the hassles he got over BFC, that he was extra careful not to give anyone any ammo to use against him. It's obvious by the trailer that he can let the administration shoot itself in the foot...

15. If you look into the attacks on BFC
The article that is usually linked to was written by an NRA lawyer.

Interesting how the world works, eh.

16. "the hassles he got over BFC"
Like what, figuring out how to get the bags of cash to the Bank? See the trailer. All Michael Moore has to do is show some key moments in the Bush residency.

Man, I can't wait to see what he does with the Bush "Mission Accomplished" fiasco.

17. Supposedly the Congressman shown in the trailer has two nephews in Iraq.
The part in the trailer where Moore asks the Congressman to sign his kids up to go to Iraq...I don't know who that guy was, but I have heard that he told Moore that he has two nephews in Iraq, but Moore cut that out of the film.

Don't know if it is true, just what I've heard.

21. It was asked, "how will the Repukes spin this"...
And I responded by saying one way they are doing so. They are claiming that Moore dishonestly edited out the part about the nephews.

Ease up a little. Just trying to answer the guy's question.
