Does anyone...anyone... here think mesobe isn't a retard?

I don't know all of the facts behind Bowling, though it's painfully obvious that some of it is intentionally misleading. I *agree* with Moore's positions on some things and I still think he's a dipshit. He most certainly did make Mr. Heston out to be more evil than he really is, by cutting out the conciliatory context of his speech and making it sound like he was insolently defying the mayor without reason, and by neglecting to admit that the NRA was required by law to hold their annual meeting, which had been scheduled well in advance; they actually canceled all the other events that were planned.

And his cartoon was horrible. I won't even get into the "peaceful blacks never wanted revenge" bit (guess he never heard of Malcolm X), but his correlation of the KKK with the NRA is absolutely malicious and wrong; the NRA was founded by *Union* officers (you know, the guys who fought to end slavery), it's eighth president was Ulysses S. Grant, who had earlier declared the Klan an illegal organization, and blacks organized NRA chapters in the 1950s and 60s to protect themselves from Klansmen. Even if everything else in the movie were true, the little man taking off his Klan robes and putting on an NRA shirt would be enough to show how offensive and full of shit Michael Moore can be.

Oh, and he may not have made his statistics on gun deaths up, but he picked and chose from different years and different statistics to make the biggest impression (some were all gun deaths including accidents and suicides, some only homicides, and the US figure included criminals shot by police officers).

So here's your nonpartisan non-gun loving source who wants to punch Michael Moore in the throat. Hello.
