Would the description "a tissue of lies, fabrication, misrepresentation,
and clumsy deceptive editing from end to end" sit better with you?

I mean, the man took fragments of four different Charlton Heston speeches
separated by months and from hundreds to thousands of miles, including
one in which Heston called for a period of silence in mourning for the
events at Columbine, and spliced them crudely together with school glue,
Scotch tape and artfully-placed stills to hide the splices, to try to
convey Heston holding a rifle high and celebrating Columbine.

Moore is a lying sack of filth, and BfC wasn't a documentary, it was
pure propaganda.  I'm still surprised Heston didn't sue him for libel.
