whether your ill or not, you can at least show remorse.
plus he wasnt exactly on his deathbed when he pushed the gun rally right after the shootings was he?

Heston was a dick. I'm not
defending Heston at all. You're both looking at my points from completely the wrong angle.
Heston's dickheadedness is peripheral to my point, which is about Moore, not Heston. Moore came across as a complete cock by making that scene the punchline of his facile documentary.
I agree with Moore's politics, in the broad sense, but he's a hack. His books and documentaries simplify issues stupidly, he picks on easy targets, uses straw men left, right and centre, makes appeals to emotions rather than reason. I mean, they're watchable in a popcorn, mindless movie kinda way (he has a knack for entertaining setpieces, for example). But he's a fucking arse.
