I saw that and I approve. I note, again, that the news agency release itself notes that the Iranian government sources made similar claims in 2007 and 2008, which turned out to be false*.

But people want to believe bad things about Moore, for some reason.

*Obviously, it’s not inconceivable that they might turn out to be true this time, but it is somewhat unlikely.

People want to believe bad things about Michael Moore because he has proven to be a flat-out liar. His Academy Award for “Bowling For Columbine” should have been for propaganda rather than documentary. In that film he lied about the NRA repeatedly, both in the circumstances of its founding and in timing and nature of its meetings. Moore cut separate clips of Charlton Heston together to make it seem as if he had done his “From My Cold Dead Hands!” line in Denver after the Columbine shootings, when Heston has not in fact done so.
