If you haven't seen the trailer for this movie, then you can watch it here:

It looks pretty good. I like the part where Moore is trying to get congressmen to sign their kids up to go to war in Iraq and this one guy gives him this look like "you gotta be outta your fcuking mind".

Yeah, but that poor freight train. I never would've thought that he would win, but I guess it just proves us wrong.

Moore asked Sen. John Kyl from Arizona this question and he said he had family in Afghanistan and in Iraq, but Moore cut this out of his film. I wonder if Moore will lie in F-9/11 like in BFC?

...where the contestant is given random quotes from Moore, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, along with quotes from Al Q'uada spokesmen and Al Jazeera reports. The contestant would then have to guess if the qoutes came from radical Islamofacists who hate America or left-wing Americans who hate America. It would be interesting to see how many people could actually distinguish between the two groups...

I have searched both Google and Vivisimo Clustering Search Engine and can not only find no link between Moore and Kyl, but no evidence or information to support that Kyl has family in any war zone.

What I did find was a lot of evidence of Kyl getting on a high horse regarding the Senate's response to pre-war intelligence, which we now know was faulty.

He was also opposed to sending troops into Kosovo.

And he supports the research and development of new, smaller nuclear weapons.

Glad you did it too, Berkylvania. I imagine that was the first of what will be a long line of slurs against this movie.

i'm probably going to regret this but: how did he lie in bowling for columbine?It wasn't really a lie, but there was a dodgy cut with one of the Charlton Heston bits. The speech he actually gave makes Heston look slightly less heartless than Moore paints him as. And those gun death statistics are off target on one or two of the numbers, Britian's gun deaths are 64 instead of 63, that kind of thing.

I bet you can't find one quote where Moore, Kerry or Kennedy says that America should be destroyed, or infidels crushed, or anything like that.
