Colin, sorry, but I have to disagree with you pretty much all around.
What Moore did in a single movie is like what Rush does in a single radio show... both have a couple of hours of "preconceived" truths they want to tell, and they assemble the "facts" they need to do it. I agree there with you.
Problem is, Rush (and the rushabee soundalikes) are out there daily misinforming the public, garnering huge audiences for their message of moral superiority, all the while not telling ALL of the truth - only telling the often only discussing very specific minutes of an hour long event, just to create an artificial sense of outrage amoungst people. We aren't talking about making them change car companies, or deciding not to buy a rifle, we are talking about affecting their vote and as a result the lay of the land of your country (and the would as a result, as the last 2 years has shown).
You cannot suggest that a single Michael Moore movie could even weigh evenly against years of Rush indoctrination.

What your referring to in Rush Limbaugh is that he has a belief first and then finds supporting arguments for it ignoring the obvious arguments against it. You do the same with the United States. Many of your posts have a "What is wrong with America" theme. You see the world through an anti-american lense in the same way that Rush Limbaugh sees the world through a conservative one. Find supporting arguments. Ignore all opposing argume

Sorry Colin, just not the case. Seeing the world through colored glasses just means that you put your own bend on the facts. Rush ignores facts when they aren't near what he wants.
You keep thinking I am anti-american. That is such shit. I don't like your President, I don't like his actions, I don't like his self righteous little smirk every time he speaks... and I don't like what he has done to many american's thinking in the last couple of years... Don't try to stick one of your stupid "You don't love american so you must hate it" extremist tags on me... don't you ever have any middle ground in anything you do in life?
