Clip from “Bowling for Columbine” where Michael Moore interviews Charlton Heston:
Dear Charlton Heston:
Now that you’re dead, is your brain more active than when you were alive?
Signed,
All the sensible people
Reply: Gary, no, no sensible people would say such a horrible thing about such a great man. Learn what Charlton Heston REALLY was, not what Michael Moore made him look like through WILLFULLY, MALICIOUSLY DISHONEST EDITING and worse, which I PROVE right from THIS VERY VIDEO.
See my other posts from months and years ago in this very thread. I even give TIME POINTS that you can FREEZE FRAME on to see what tricks Moore pulls.
Yada yada yada. The guy was an idiot.
Reply: Neither Moore nor Heston was an idiot. Heston was in the early stages of Alzheimers, but Moore didn’t know that and neither did Heston. It wouldn’t be diagnosed for another year.
Heston was a great Civil Rights hero. When he told Moore, “We had a problem Civil Rights in the sixties,” he was talking about the sad fact that Civil Rights were being systematically DENIED to people in this nation based on skin color. And guess what? Heston got off his duff and DID something about it!
Mike was completely fair and Heston was clueless. Am I the only one who noticed this?
Reply: Others do agree with you, but they’re just as demonstrably, provably wrong as you are.
“Mike” was NOT fair. At all. I PROVE that.
I’ve got a beer to drink and porn to watch. Later.
