i'd call it the white glove treatment..
a speck of dust results in discrediting the entire film.
i think this concept has been championed by bush and his search
for the last 1% of the wmd's down to a .01% of proof of all wmd's destruction. some would say those with this tactic will not accept any proofs whether it be of moores film or the weapons .. it's a foregone conclusion that they were going to attack iraq or attack moores film.
this trend continues along the rightwing radioshows.. one speck of even talking to or negotiating with a communist labeled group or person labels the subject a total communist.. or name yer label.. discredited group etc.
the only reason this bothers me is that people echo the statements of discredit so rediculously they miss any message that the subject had to pass and proceed to slam without any knowledge of the original reasonings.. spin on, vince and friends, as moore's website says those with these smear tactics
tend to discredit themselves.

and vince if you can't pick an issue and defend it yourself you're really not worth addressing except in the same manner you smear the concepts.
