As I said in my first sentence above, bigjohn, I can't comment on the movie - I haven't seen it and I'm not going to pay to go see it. I did see a clip from the film (on the news) in which Bush is shown talking about the war in Iraq and then says, "Now watch this drive," with a smile. Following that, a quick succession of other Bush golfing clips. Moore's point is clear: Bush sends troops overseas to kill and die while he's off having a great time playing golf. But the quick juxtaposition of images is a psychological tactic to influence viewers on a subconscious level - not an attempt to appeal to their intellects through rational discourse. As someone mentioned previously we're talking about propaganda here, "info-tainment".
The movie is not a "professional journal article", as chesseroo was fond of saying.
