Fittingly enough, the biggest roar of the night for the Arizona senator's performance came when he singled out Michael Moore as a disingenuous filmmaker, twice. Moore, present with the press corps, was escorted from the hall as the crowd bayed for his blood. Certainly, the overwhelming majority of the delegates here appeared to viscerally hate Moore for actually exercising his freedom to speak out, which led me to conclude that McCain had a point. Some people can't stand the sight of snakes, some recoil from cats and some just plain can’t tolerate dissent. With Moore safely out of harm’s way, McCain resumed his soothing droning until the obligatory climax, when he punctuated his Paxillated prose with a few perfunctory podium thumps. Rapturous applause followed.Now that's some pretty extreme stuff, and some serious alliteration. There's only one problem with it.
It's not true.
Anyone who actually bothered to watch the convention would know this, but liberals don't tend to have high tolerance of other's perspectives so they probably weren't watching it. What actually happened is quite the opposite. The crowd did in deed go wild when McCain took his shot at Moore, but there was no sense of "let's go lynch the fat guy." Instead, there were loud cheers of appreciation for McCain saying what most thoughtful Americans know...That Michael Moore is a liar. In addition, Moore was no escorted out during the speech because of the crowd. He was clearly seen sitting there, smiling like the village idiot that he is. He was in no danger, this wasn't the Democratic Underground after all.
But never mind that pesky truth in reporting issue. Let's just say that it happened one way and then we'll call those who disagree a bunch of names and laugh at how dumb they are. That's a lot easier than actually debating the issues, especially when you're on the wrong side of so many.
