Well, that's a tough call. I didn't really care for Fahrenheit 9/11, but I did enjoy Bowling for Columbine. Facts and arguments aside, Moore can just make a better film than these guys can.
I think they intentionally attempt to use his specific "style" in order to add effect, but it gets lost at times. Like I said, constant shots of Dick Morris pointing around NYC, talking about foiled terrorist plots against NYC landmarks, cuts back to Moore saying in a speech "there is no terrorist threat."
And the cast of characters in this one is great-- hacks from various conservative think tanks, Ann Coulter, Zell Miller, Ed Koch, and Dick Morris (just in case anybody wasn't aware, Dick Morris hasn't been a liberal for a while now).
Ann Coulter, the very same woman who recently reaffirmed on Hannity & Colmes her Middle East policy-- kill most muslims, force them to convert to Christianity, build shopping malls.
They use the tragedy/attacks of 9/11 in just as tasteless (arguably more so) a fashion as Moore has.
It dwells waaaay too long on the so-called "7 minutes" after Bush heard about the attacks. Their response? It was actually 5 minutes. :/
Then there's actually some douche bag saying "well, if Moore can't even get the time details right, I don't know about other stuff, blah blah, blibbity blah!"
Leftists make a big deal of those 7 (0r 5 or whatever) minutes, but I don't know it warranted an equally ridiculous retort in this film....
