Hi Carson and Toni, I am also trying to trace the link of our Cherokee/Stidom/Dancy heritage. Any information you have would be extremely helpful. Please email me at cguerrero@atsu.edu because all of my research has left a ton of unanswered questions.

Toni, you’re correct, my grand mother was a Cherokee Indian from north Carolina, her name was Agatha Dancy.

How to make a quick buck 101: make anti Moore doc and claim to be a liberal, neo cons will lap it up like Dick Cheney rakes in war profits from Haliburton. Conservatives are the new millenium’s answer to suckers being born every second. If ol P.T were alive today he’d probably be the producer of this “liberal” expose.

and West, I was by no means attacking the filmmaker of “manufacturing dissent”. i have not seen it and i simply expressed why. my disinterest in her film is collateral damage of the oversaturation of anti-Moore hit pieces like the one that was linked to in this thread. after the Hardy book, like three anti-Michael Moore documentaries that are much further right, I just dont have time to listen to more ‘attack the messenger’ things on Moore regardless of how fair they claim to be.

“Is it possible to critique Moore without being labeled a “right-wing nut job?”

yes, but the people who hate Moore the most scream the loudest, and the link thats in the thread I respond to is most certainly of that very ilk.

“There are conservatives who believe that we should not address the liberals on the Left, even though they are waging full war against the tenets of our Christian heritage and those who practice the Christian faith”

that is the first sentence. it works on presuppositions that shut down all reasonable debate. As far left as Moore is, compared to this hit piece he’s the, ahem, ‘fair and balanced’ one.

Is it possible to critique Moore without being labeled a “right-wing nut job?” Is any critical analysis of Moore and/or his work automatically dismissed as biased and unfair”

Goon, check out middle aged Debbie Melnyk’s life
acheivements on IMDB.all FOUR of them. (two not only did she write,produce and direct she was even sound department. must be hard to get good help nowadays,lol! A person would have to be an idiot to think a nobody “filmmaker” filming a documentary about highly regarded documenatary
had any noble motives. Hmmm, maybe a doc on Debbie, with a catchy name to get peoples attention..hmm “Debbie Does Docs” hard to find material though..lol
