So he's going to advertise things that don't fit in with his beliefs? Hmm, so I should take advertising from the Coalition of Decency or the Moral Minority who want to put anti-porn ads on my site...??

Oh, note where it says "Fight Socialism! Visit my Advertisers!"

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."
I really can't help you with that. Although given your opinionsof Moore, you're probably very unlikely to give him the benefit of the doubt.

There isn't a very big side that debunks his myths.
And *why* is that, do you think? People aren't interested? People aren't capable? Or maybe despite his tendency to exaggerate in some places, he *does* actually have a point?

He has just moved to a new server so it is a bit disorganised, but try these (please note some pages have swearing):
Great, so he's criticising Bush, but frankly that's like shooting fish in a barrel.

But what he's *actually* saying is "get rid of Bush and get us a more credible Republican leader" and that's a different matter.

As to the gun from the bank thing, the point is that a gun has *NO* constructive use! Guns are for *wounding* and *killing* people, they have no other credible use (target shooting etc is just practicing the skills you need). Blenders *do* have constructive uses.
