Why do people insult Michael Moore and talk about how fat he is, etc...... but they can not refute the facts that he presented in the film? Could it be that it is all true?.... I have never heard anything to say otherwise

If you can't refute insult it...isn't that the truth. Rather than educate themselves many people would rather harp about his weight and blindly follow a corrupt regime than open a book and actually read something for a change. Not to worry though...there are plenty of intelligent people who will see the truth as the truth. One sad thing though is that the insulter's are only proving to the rest of the world just how vastly ignorant and unyielding the greater population of the USA really is.

Hey, genius, Dick Morris, who was a personal advisor to President Clinton, appeared in the movie Farenhype 9/11 to specifically refute the entire premise Mike Moore laid out in Farenheit 911.
Why is Michael Moore automatically MORE correct than Dick Morris?

When people are unable to deny the facts and the truth, as presented in the movie, they seek to discredit them through other means. These methods include criticizing the person who presented the information. Michael Moore is not the only person going through a hard time because of his personal views - which are parallel and reflect that of the majority of the world population.

Michael Moore used footage of my unit in that movie, but he edited it down to present a negative image. If you saw the real footage, the whole thing, and knew the background behind the mission we were on, then the Iraqi we were after would look like the bad guy, not us. Many of the "facts" in his movie were actually assumptions. That's why people insult him. He stated his assumptions as facts, and most of them are not true.

I have not seen the movie but I have heard that there is a man who is suing him because he was mislead. What happened was that this man was a winded solider and he was told that he was being interviewed by a news organization and they asked him about how he was wounded. The interview (according to the interviewee) was edited in such a way to make it appear that he was speaking out against the war. So maybe his facts are true maybe they aren't I don't know because as I said earlier I haven't seen the movie. As for comments about him being fat well why don't you ask Rush Limbaugh how many fat comments he endured before he lost his weight.

Have ya seen the Counter DVD called FarenHype 9/11 which featured a couple of people from Moore's film that said they were put into his Film without their approval.
One such person was a Soldier who lost Limbs in Iraq that said he was shocked when people said they saw him in Moore's film and wanted people to know that he does not support Moore at all.

What do you mean that no one could refute the facts? Didn't you read how one of the soldiers was filing a law suit against him for misrepresentation.
As for the personal attacks on M.Moores appearance they have no place in the debate. That said he's been known to pass along a few attacks of his own that don't concern the issues.

I think a lot of them are playing into the media's hands. The media told them to not watch the movie. I remember always seeing Hannity, Scarborough, Oreily, and countless others in the media bash the movie over and over but when asked if they have seen it, none of them have. I think they were told not to watch the movie by their "leaders" and they didn't. Then they were told to watch Farenhype 911 and Michael Moore hates America and they did. They formed an opinion on one side alone. A lot of them anyways..

Then you haven't listened to the right people,( Sean Hannity http://www.hannity.com/) try listening to him for a few days, you'll learn alot. Anyone can take complete fiction and mix it with some truth to make it look and sound great. Yes it's interesting, but if you take it in the context of what he michael moore was trying to do, I don't care for it. He has his own personal agenda and that is to destroy President BUSH. Again I rate it up there with the Da Vinchi code, it's a work of fiction meant for entertainment puposes only.

if your open to a counter point, check out the movie Michael Moore hates America, it shows how slanted and manipulated his "evidence" in his movies are. He is nothing more then a left wing propaganda artist if you ask me. seams now days everyone has to be pushing a left wing or right wing opinion on people, but when will the majority of us in the middle get fed up and not take this crap anymore, that's the real question.

You not trying to hear people "refute the facts"
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for Bush; however, on numerous occasions people have via various media outlets showed Moore to be nothing but vindictive and at time down right false in his accusations.
