I wholeheartedly agree. If this is a game of creativity, I'm damned sure there's somebody out there more creative than Moore.

There's a slight difference between voicing your opinion and uproaring the entire United States about your opinion via movie theatres. If every Bush-basher went the route Michael Moore did, 9/11 type movies would be the only thing in box offices.
I think the rest of the United States has figured that out by now. Would you care to join us?
What? What I was saying was that free speech, i.e. movies are protected. And if his movie has the US in an uproar good or bad, what does that have to do with treason? He is not leading a war against the United States. And don't even try to twist treason in covering a media war. That is what I was responding to, the treason charge. And what would be wrong with everyone who loved or hated Bush making a movie? That wouldn't happen, but that is speech isn't it?
And the rest of the US has firgured out what???? No, the rest of the US has not firgured out how the President and his administration has lead this country into a war for no reason. Have you? Care to join people in the real world who can see that there were no massive stockpiles of WMD in Iraq, where faulty intel lead the US virtually alone into a hole which it may never come out of, where the leadership says no we didn't find WMD but Saddam wanted to make weapons and hated the US therefor he must be taken out. That's the world we live in, I don't know what you choose to see, but that is the plain and simple truth.
