"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

New Democrats Smack Moore

The bad guys (conservatives) are winning, warns Moore, despite the fact that America is really "a liberal-majority nation" -- scores of polls to the contrary notwithstanding. America has, among other things, a "love affair with homosexuality," he writes -- another example of Moore's specious reasoning. By positing the opposite of what all the evidence suggests, he seeks to discredit the evidence. His writing sometimes comes close to the method known as the Big Lie.

This is a very good critique of Moore's MO--via Instapundit [>]


Powerline also has a nice Moore fragging:

Moore's movie has been heavily promoted by Fidel Castro; it has played to packed movie theatres all over Cuba, and now has been broadcast in prime time on Cuba's state-owned television network. Castro has endorsed Fahrenheit 9/11, and he recently drew laughs by quoting Moore's book Stupid White Men in a speech.

Moore's blatant propaganda film is also gaining a wide audience in the middle east. All it proves is Moore's willingness to enrich himself at the expense of the men and women serving in Afghanistan and Iraq which seems the penultimate irony; Moore's accomplishing exactly that of which he accuses George W. Bush.
