If MM lies, then I don't think it really matters what motivates a person to blow the whistle on him.I don't have any sinister right-wing agenda to discredit him, it's just to me it reminds me of the wrestling thing, when I was young. Everyone said that wrestling was fake and I never believed them. Then when I saw the proof I felt like a schmuck, I just wish I saw it sooner. Trouble is with most of the sites they tend to be more subjective opinions (ie Is Moore with a $1.25m penthouse in Manhatten, who earns $35,000 a night doing talks an appropriate spokesman for socialist issues?), such is the heated feeling about him at the moment. But the facts are there.

As with Al Franken, i've never really read him. I read a bit he wrote trying to put down Bill O'Reily, and didnt put O' Reily in a good light. He's much more demure, and hopefully less hypocritical. I assume he's more honest because i've never heard any about myth-debunking sites about him as I have about Moore.

Edit: I mentioned it to a friend he said he heard of one here. I haven't read it yet, so I don't know if its good or not, but I though i'd include it in the issues of fairness and balance.
