I’ve come across several right-wing folks who are questioning Michael Moore’s credentials for making Fahrenheit 9/11. Forget the fact that he’s made several films, one of which won an Oscar. What were these same people saying concerning Mel Gibson’s credentials to make a movie about Jesus? I don’t recall them ever questioning Mel’s abilities in this regard. And as for artistic license, I would venture to say that interpretations of the Bible normally requires more creative leeway than does say putting together facts (news footage, documents, interviews, etc.) about our current sitting president. Yet again, the right-wing hypocrisy machine says one thing out of one side of their mouth....
