Anything and everything by Michael Moore should be here in Fail Quotes, but this particular skit from Bowling for Columbine is pretty egregious.

Ugh.  I remember that pile of crap of a video. >_<  I was going to post it myself, but I think I was afraid of getting banned and/or a warning or something.

I think in this instance we're criticizing the clip for being outrageous and downright wrong so it gets the okay. We're not really using it as an argument for or against anything.

Wow...just wow. I would go through and point out all of the historical innacuracies, except I don't see one single thing he got RIGHT!

And yes, if Moore himself came to this forum and posted that bigoted crap of lies, he would have been instantly banned.

Yeah, I first saw this garbage my junior year of high school in my Issues in Government class. We had to watch Bowling for Columbine while we were talking about gun control and what not. The entire movie is complete garbage. Moore goes on a tangent about 9/11 and the Iraq War while trying to talk about gun control. It was just a mess.

Oh, and I challenge you to go through the comments and not find something worthy of being in fail quotes.

Also, I think you should do the error and lie correcting subtitles for Michael Moore documentaries like you did for Expelled. I think that would be glorious.

Yeah, but that means I'd have to sit through that crap...

I hate to pull an RPG trope here.....but thou must.

Seriously though, I don't blame you.

Hey, you lasted through Expelled.

Another one of those "if we don't raise the debt ceiling, it will be armageddon" types.

There was a good vid done by a student film maker called "Six Degrees from Truth" that did a pretty good job of debunking both Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11

It was my first taste of skepticism and started me down the road to enlightenment.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

Don't forget "Michael Moore Hates America", with interviews with Penn Jillette.

I think the whole speech by Shelley Lubben does count as fail quote
