Which info was in dispute? You're right, why substantiate any of your claims when it's just easier to sit back and throw mud at a guy...?

Uhh, he doesn't deny editing the speech. What he denies doing is inter-splicing bits from OTHER speeches. The only part that isn't from the Denver speech is the "cold dead hands!" bit, which is used cinematically as an introduction for Heston, not the event itself. Again, anybody who WATCHES the film and has a 1/4 of a brain could clearly pick that up. The scenery is clearly different, Heston's stage position and clothes are clearly different.
|
So, he did use a piece from another speech. What exactly are you arguing?
|
YOU are arguing that it is done so in a misleading fashion. It absolutely, unequivocally IS NOT....PERIOD. If you watch the film, and you have the ability to absord the things that you see, you can see that the statement is clearly an introduction for Heston.

No, this isn't what he said. What he essentially said was that you can't fight people who do half-assed research over the internet by typing in key words and whatever. It's like in the film "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back." He can't track down the address of every pseudo-intellectual on the internet and go fly to their houses and assault them. Nor can he be like the RIAA and sue everybody in America. There's no need in it, no sense in it, and most of them should just be brushed off.
|
He can go after the high profile people like John Loften or the Gun Week Magazine editor. But hey, actually taking action kind of cramps a whiner's style.

Again, maybe you should chill with your partisan hatred for the man and think about it. I don't see you turning red over the high profile folks Ann Coulter attacks on a weekly basis. Moore has been pretty quiet about all of this, because up until recently, it has been internet geeks and conservatives with an alternative agenda who have been doing this. It isn't the "Gun Week" guy he cares about, it's the fact that CNN was sloppy enough to let this guy come on and talk as an "expert." Whether you like it or not, CNN carries more clout that "thisainttrue.org" or whatever. Moore will continue to sell books and movies no matter what, but he believes in the arguments he is making, and when the mainstream press begins to attack him, he will defend himself.
