The Moore movie isnot all he had to say. The bit about Presidents attending funerals has been debated in this forum time and again over the past few years. There is NO historical precident at all for Presidents to attend funerals of fallen soldiers. It is rediculous to say this is something Bush has done wrong, when no other president in our country's history has been held to this standard.
As to the flag draped coffins....this policy was put into place a little over a decade ago (Correct me if my math is wrong it may be). Despite that, will will act like it is some kind of consipracy that the Bush administration started this rule to hide the war from the American people. It has been policy for a long time, long before this man was President.
I will not address the Michael Moore issue, since I have repeatedly posted information that demonstrates he lies and manipulates the facts. The fact is Moore does expose things that would not have been given the time of day, some of it true. The hard part is getting people to weed through his bullshit to get to the truth.
Finally, Bruce references the Swifties. They are entitled to their opinions. I however blame the rise of this group on the McCain finance law, which nearly everyone in here celebrated the signing of when it passed. I very clearly pointed out that the Rise of groups like MoveOn was NOT a good thing and that counter groups would rise up. It sickens me to no end that BOTH sides have stooped to this level.
Bruce is a musician, and has always been political. At times I have agreed with him. This time, the quote referenced by Klaus is the spewing of old news, that is shadows of partial truths. I wish he had said something else.
