Now if that's *not* pro-Bush, what is?
Those are called "Advertisements". People pay him to put what they want, on the site. I'll advertise Tampx tampons on my site if they'd pay me, I don't have to be able to use them, to do that.

A side point, but i'm still struggling to find something that Moore says, that makes me think: "You know, thats a good point, well said." Besides Moore has a big enough mouth, with a big enough army of fans preaching his side. There isn't a very big side that debunks his myths. Moore doesn't need anyone else in his corner.

He has just moved to a new server so it is a bit disorganised, but try these (please note some pages have swearing):

http://right-thinking.com/index.php/oops/ (yeah, the URL really does have oops in it, it isn't a 404 page)

and http://right-thinking.com/index.php/weve_got_bush/

So *other* people are putting advert links into their sites? I don't think so...!
They aren't adverts. They are "Hey this guy said something brilliant go read it", rather than just plagurising someone's thoughts.

Hmmm. I wonder how many people are going to pay a bank $5000 for a gun and go and shoot someone with it. Don't you think they'd pay half that and go to a gun shop? Or half that again and go to someone on the street and avoid all that "pesky" paperwork? Also note if you wanted to shoot someone, you'd have to wait a month from that bank, (which is a licensed gun retailer, it is no different from a gun shop), however, you can get a gun in 3 days from a gun shop where the guns are kept on site. (The guns aren't kept on site regardless of what that idiot bank clerk says, wether you get a rifle or a blender, it has to be ordered from the suppliers.)
