I think he deserved it. If he's going to mouth off about how guns are so great when
children are being killed, why shouldn't he be confronted. Same thing with Bush, since he seems to think war is so 'cool'.
Oh, he most definately should be confronted, about his beliefs over whether people can be responsible with guns and whether they're needed or not, not irrelevent bullshit. Citing the NRA as being racist was wrong and had absolutely no backing. Why would Moore want to do this in the first place though, when the issue at hand is over gun laws, and why parts of america are so violent, the only reason for bringing up things that a) aren't true and b) aren't relevent, is for sensationalism.
I'm sorry, but no other reported does this. I don't need some arrogant git to tell me Bush is an idiot, its all over the news, I read the Guardian, I watch channel four and bbc24 news, I watch documentaries by people like that Langhan bloke, I look vigurously through the net for both sides of the story, I disagree with the war on Iraq, just about everything with it, except for Saddam being put out of power (even though he had little power in the first place).
What annoys me even more is he came over here to tell us poor british folk who obviously can't think for ourselves that Blair is also a dipstick, and I saw a couple of interviews where he really was acting like that, like we needed our eyes opened just like the thickos he's trying to target with his documentaries. Who does he think he is? Seriously, you'd have to be blind to not see the anti-blair feelings this country has, I'd go as far to say that the majority of people in this country (not the vast majority, mind) know fully well that, a) blair lied, b) he's an idiot and c) the war was wrong and unjustified.
If Moore really wants to portray Iraq properly, he should have the balls to go out there like most reporters who can walk do, instead of basing a whole documentary around a book which was recently proved to be almost completely wrong on all of it's fronts (although I realise it wasn't proved to be wrong at the time the documentary had been made).
But thats part of the point, Moore simply can't think for himself, he listens to one source and believes it. Take Bowling for Columbine for example, he was told that guns were completely legal in Canada, the idiot believed it, not only that, but it then cut to him buying guns and ammunition, without us being told that it was back in america, I assumed it was because I knew you simply can't do that in canada, but there are people out there who didn't. I don't know whether he's guilty of having no brain or what, I just hate the ******.
Also, one more thing, what is the difference between Moore's propoganda and the whitehouse's? Mhmm.
p.s. this isn't directed at you, emmy.

Dear emmykins, I weren't being serious, I'm sorry you took it the wrong way. I admire you for having the intelligence to get your kids to see the world as it is from an early age.
