I'm hoping we'll get to see this one too:
Here
"Michael Moore Hates America" deconstructs the genre of documentary film to show viewers how filmmakers can manipulate interviews and statistics to communicate a desired message, and therefore, how deceptive that message often is. Movie-goers will discover what that means in their daily lives and begin to understand why it's so important to question everything they see and hear. Most importantly, viewers will see the American Dream emerge in front of them.
What makes me think that those around here that thought everyone should see Moore's hit piece, even though they admitted it wasn't 'totally' factual, would automatically discount this one?

Hehâ?¦. Michael Moore is a big fat idiotâ?¦
And Al Franken is the anti-Christ!

If he really hated america, he wouldn't drive a car, fly on a plane, use a computer, or use any other american items.
stating someone hates america because of a differing opinion is flawed logic

If that were true the world trade center wouldn't be a pile of wreckage today.

I don't disagree with your point that people with opposing opinions don't *necessarily* hate america but people who hate america *do* fly on planes so your logic is no less flawed.

I think Ferno refers to the "America love it or leave it" philosophy which discounts the possiblity that you can be a citizen and still believe that your countries administration is wrong and that "your" country needs to change direction.
All this harks back to John Stuart Mill's concept of the "Tyranny of the Majority".

What if a whacked-out muslim used a helicopter to kill a bunch of french guys? Does that mean they hate France?
note: the first helicopter (albiet unsuccessful) was invented by Paul Cornu, a frenchman.
Ford, correct. It is not only a right, but a duty to question the government. it's part of a system of checks and balances that keeps them as honest as possible given the current circumstances.
