I wouldn't say that was a down side. Most people go on talk shows knowing X chat show host would give them a rough time. I would have thought he would have been happy to get on tape and make Wilson look bad, and kill the movie. Now, Wilson has "Roger & Me" style footage, which could hurt Moore.

At least moore uses his films to push this important issues this guy is making a patriotic film that also attacks moore.

He is just attacking moore for no real reason, there is nothing to be gained by saying how bad moore is. There is a lot to be gained by trying to being up important issues
I wouldn't say no reason. IMO Moore, through his actions before, deserves anything that really come his way, be it personal, or political. Moore is a bit unusual in that his persona is bigger than his movies. That means personal attacks on him would be more common.

You have a point. I know a few of us opinionated guys are probably a bit tired of rehashing gun control, violence in the media etc. I'm certainly not looking forward to it and might bow out if I have to go all through that again. We just thought it is was 'fresher' to debate Moore's credibility instead.

Can I just say though, thanx for what you said about reading my opinions and agreeing with them (most of the time). I do wonder sometimes if its worth it all. Thanx for saying that.
