Help finding Michael Moore quote
Wow, after being around here for about a year now, I finally get to make my first post. I just don't post enough around here because I like arguing with the freeper types more than just agreeing with people who think like I do :)

I'm arguing with some real idiots about Michael Moore and F911. I know I've seen Moore state clearly that F911 is not a documentary but an opinion piece and he hopes it gets people to think like him (even my wife remembers him saying it, maybe on the Daily Show). I just can't find a transcript or anything where he clearly says that. So, I was hoping you people could help me find it.

BTW-These idiots I'm arguing with have gone so far as to say I misquoted Bush when he said he wasn't concerned about OBL even though I linked the White House website. Their response was that the transcript didn't take into consideration Bush's facial expressions and body language. Where's the wall to bang my head against.

4. This one????
In the next week or so, I will recount my adventures through the media this past month (I will also be posting a full FAQ on my website soon so that you can have all the necessary backup and evidence from the film when you find yourself in heated debate with your conservative brother-in-law!). For now, please know the following: Every single fact I state in "Fahrenheit 9/11" is the absolute and irrefutable truth. This movie is perhaps the most thoroughly researched and vetted documentary of our time. No fewer than a dozen people, including three teams of lawyers and the venerable one-time fact-checkers from The New Yorker went through this movie with a fine-tooth comb so that we can make this guarantee to you. Do not let anyone say this or that isn't true. If they say that, they are lying. Let them know that the OPINIONS in the film are mine, and anyone certainly has a right to disagree with them. And the questions I pose in the movie, based on these irrefutable facts, are also mine. And I have a right to ask them. And I will continue to ask them until they are answered.

5. That one is close,
but I remember seeing him on Real Time, the Daily Show or some other where he specifically said, "no, it's not a documentary. It's an opinion piece and I am trying to make people think like me." My wife Nellie heard it too so I know I'm not crazy ;)

Gawd, the lengths we'll go to in order to shut up a freeper extreme.
