No, I have not seen the movie yet, as I refuse to put any money in Michael Moore's pockets. I have read the transcript and seen the multitude of arguments that cite specific examples of his lies and misinformation.
Its kind of like making judgements about history. I don't have to be there to do research on it and make judgements about it. If you do your homework that should be enough.

Dont back your case on a guy that debunked Mother Teresa, the woman was technically a saint, how can you debunk a friggin' saint?!?! What are the debunkings against a saint?

Don't dismiss someone one because they criticized someone who is technically a saint. Do you know Mother Theresa? Have you seen what she does while in these third world nations or are you just repeating majority opinion without questioning its validity?
Hitchins WAS there with Mother Theresa in those nations as she worked with the disenfranchised and tought them to not use condoms. Now Africa has the largest crisis in AIDS, Hepatitis B and other STD's in the world. Am I saying that its all her fault? No. But she sure as hell didn't help and most likely helped it happen with her rhetoric. This is all from an interview with Hitchins a few years back on Dennis Miller's HBO show.

The fact is they can debunk Moore all they want, but Moore is also debunking Bush.

You debunk someone by LYING ABOUT THEM and misleading the public. Debunking is exposing TRUTH, not creating FICTION.

I can understand you wanting to stand up for your beliefs, but i just think its kind of sad that you cant just even agree with other people and their opinions.

Why would I agree with an opinion that has no evidence to back it up and constantly ignores evidence against it? That makes NO SENSE. You want me to agree with an opinion, support it with facts. I asked Zaglar Ninja to cite sources outside of Michael Moore himself that defend his actions and support his claims that he is telling the truth. He refused to even look. Why in the world would I respect that opinion, when it is based on NOTHING?
