    This movie was mocked relentlessly by the right, but now they are asking the exact same questions proposed in the movie. I disagree with a lot of Moore's views, but this is a good and highly relevant film. See it if you haven't already.

    Hopefully everyone mocked it, since it was all misrepresented quotes, views, and inaccurate historical quips

    How was it inaccurate? I thought most of it was very relevant and factual... the NRA!

    Yeah, and it too was really only mocked by the right, but even some of them are finally coming around.

    David T. Hardy = NRA senior attorney = conservative = republican = lying sack of crap = misleading
    Michael Moore = Film director fighting for stricter gun laws = liberal = democrat = fat piece of = also misleading
    both= bags

    They cancel each other out!

    Wow, there is quite a bit of terrible editorialization in those links. Pretty much does the same thing they accuse Moore of doing. Two wrongs and all that business.

    The main point I got out of Bowling was that the main difference between the US and other nations was a culture of fear. I'm reminded of that every time I look at this board.

    Maybe we wouldn't have mocked it if he stayed with the truth and didn't make so much up.

    Are you under the false impression that two wrongs make a right?

    that asinine thought.

    That isn't an example of "two wrongs make a right".

    Not at all. I'm just implying that one is making talking points that is geared favorably towards the far right and the other is doing the same thing for the far left. The cancel each other out. I did like the film though.

    No, what you're doing is called false equivalence.
