9. Sorry. What has changed? He has always had election fraud stories.
There is NO RETRACTION of his statement that there was no fraud and Bush won.

10. Michael Moore /= His Website
I don't understand why you guys keep confusing things posted on Michael Moore's website with Michael Moore himself. He can support people pushing the fraud issue without himself believing in the fraud issue. It's perfectly consistent for Moore to say that he himself does not buy that there was enough fraud to change the election, while at the same time he supports those who DO believe that there was sufficient fraud to change the election. Moore favors free speech, and isn't one of those people who thinks he has a monopoly on the truth. He's obviously open to being persuaded that there was enough fraud to change the election, and willing to host articles by others who believe there was enough fraud to change the election. But that is not the same thing as him actually currently believing there was sufficient fraud to change the election.

13. Perhaps
he actually might believe that there was fraud in Ohio , but even so
he is going more on the popular vote (like he said in the Rolling Stone interview)
Its still questionable about the popular vote numbers as to were the fraud took place.

In Ohio its a different ball game all together.

This time he is featuring it
on the home page its more then just posting articles.

21. Actually, that website represents his "brand"
And as such, he has a keen interest in the integrity of what is posted on his site. For christs sake, he already said he's going to make 9/11 1/2 - wanna bet what topic provide a big chunk of the content of that film? I think its quite inaccurate that he doesn't know (and doesn't approve) of whats being posted. I find it very hard to believe he doesn't receive any communication about what should and should not be posted. More here than meets the eye, IMO.

12. I say he is exposing the fraud story to people who read his website
and that is a good thing! Hopefully, he will continue to spread the word (Also, he did not try to debunk the article about fraud on his site--I personally think he does care about what happened on election day)

14. Why is everyone so concerned about what Michael Moore thinks?
He is providing coverage on his website.

Great. He has been doing this all along.

What he personally feels or does not feel should not be an issue.

18. Mike has been and continues to post links.
But the only time I know of that he has expressed his "official" opinion on the matter, he pointed to the popular vote and stuck to his opposition of the electoral college, in the Rolling Stone quote.

It's nice that he's giving more prominent placement of the issue, though.

19. i have to believe...
there are too many "real patriots" playing a coy cat and mouse game and I believe that the silence is all part of a much bigger picture...I think that we have to have faith and trust in the power of TRUTH! :dem:

20. How does posting this change Moore's position?
He has been posting links to fraud stories since November, while posting statements assuming that Bush won fairly.

Stop confusing links with his opinions.

24. Not sure if it shows a change in his position or
not, he is not one to prop up a theory of thought with something like the "Blackwell" picture without feeling it though. I am just happy to see it!
