Anyone who has their opinion swayed by a movie, regardless if it is touted as a "documentary", is a moron. The guy makes movies with his opinion in it, and you can choose whether or not to watch it.

The problem is that his movies are labelled as documentaries even though they aren't. He's welcome to his opinion of course but a documentary needs to at least try to be factual. I don't consider editting interviews, fabricating evidence, or deliberately misleading viewers to be anything close to factual.

Opinion is one thing... even people's whose opinions are based solely on ignorance and stupidity (like the iraqi war being about oil) and are proved wrong without even trying, are entitled to it for sure.
THe problem is that if Moore's "documentary" doesnt even have enough "truth" to make the national enquirer. IF moore crap was about ANYONE other then the president, he would be broke because they would have sued him for libel and slander and won without even breaking a sweat.
And again, you people seem so shocked at someone suggesting "limiting" speech. Mine is limited all the time...i cant talk about Jesus in the work place.... my friends cant put a cross up in their yard for easter, my friends kids cant wear a t-shirt with a cross on it to school because its "disruptive" but Jay-Z can be played as loud as possible, and guys with a shirt that says "suck it " on it can... So, you wanna stand up for free speech, stand up for it.
