No, it is not. Nice try though at hiding your fuckup in an ocean of syllables.
I'm sorry. Do words with multiple syllables confuse you?
Bottom line is you just can't run away from the two diametrically opposed statements you made.
There is nothing diametrically opposing to state that Conclusion X is valid because of reasons 1, 2, 3, ... 20, but not because of reason 21, which is flawed. If you cannot comprehend this, then that is simply further proof of the genetic and physical inferiority of conservative brains. See Social conservatives are just stupid bigots and now science has proved that and MRI study suggests liberal brains understand complexity, conservative minds are associated with anxiety and fear. You are currently providing a real world example of the accuracy of those posts.
The reasoning is simple and easy enough for any sound ten-year-old to follow. If you cannot understand it, that's on you. And simply repeating your incorrect assumptions does not make any case that your assumptions are correct. The truth is not determined by repetition of falsehoods.

The hospital Moore went to is not representative of one the typical Cuban would have access to.
Because my specific criticism of one of Moore's movies, Sicko, does not undermine the thesis of that movie or show Moore to be dishonest or hypocritical in any way.
These are in no way contradicting statements. At this point, I have to question your comprehension of even basic English.
A statement can be inaccurate without being a lie. A person can make a case that is flawed without being a hypocrite. Lack of perfection does not indicate deception or hypocrisy. It merely indicates that a person is human and capable of making mistakes.
Furthermore, the mistake I submitted that Moore made in Sicko does not in any way undermine the case the movie makes that the pre-Obamacare health care system was completely fucked up, unjust, and cost the lives of multitudes of Americans.
But let's get to the real issue. The premise of Sicko was that the health care system was terrible. Do you actually disagree with that statement? Forget about what you think about Obamacare; that's a separate issue. Do you think the health care system in 2007 suffered only from minor problems? Do you think it was a good system?
If the answer is yes, you're an idiot. If the answer is no, you agree with Michael Moore's premise in Sicko. So, which is it?
For the rest of America, this issue has already been decided. Moore was right. The health care system was fundamentally broken. It's debatable how much Obamacare fixed that or even if the ACA is a step in the right direction, but it is indisputable that the pre-ACA system was doomed to failure and killing more Americans than having an 9/11 tragedy every single month. History has proven Moore's complaints about the pre-ACA health care system to be absolutely true and valid.

Liberal fantasy world? Rich man's game? Today's politics is no game ASSHOLE, it is about our struggle for life against early death and a decent future for the children.
What future do the "bad school" district kids have, or do you just expect the tax payers to foot their bill the rest of their lives. And they aren't meant to have a better education.
Look don't bitch at me, I didn't elect Obama you did.

The first union, the maritime, was formed by brave maritime workers and with violence against thugs the owners of ships hired.
Don't flatter this wretched lot that is Unions today, by comparing those entitled assholes to those men who fought to create the SSIU.

I see the right being manipulated very directly and shrewdly by billionaires in energy, banking and media to clean up what is left of this gutted country.
And I see the Left manipulating the banking and media to clean up what is left of this gutted country.
Glad to see we see eye to eye on some things.

Of course they are not, when you truncate them.

Here, try the originals and reload.
You can't make this shit up!!
In Moore's film Sicko, Cuba's medical system was made out to be nearly perfect with everyone happy. ABC News reports that this assessment, although not without basis, is not accurate. The hospital Moore went to is not representative of one the typical Cuban would have access to.

FYI, making a documentary about something that is known by the director/producer to be "not accurate" is equivalent to being "dishonest".
Therefore, your statement "does not undermine the thesis of that movie or show Moore to be dishonest" is, in itself, dishonest.

Sure. But are you going to tell me that Moore did not know the hospital he selected and used in his documentary was a gross exaggeration of what the typical Cuban hospital operated like?
What the hell good is that?
There are outliers in all fields. If his documentary was designed to highlight what the Cuban outlier hospital looked like, fine. But he presented it as an average Cuban hospital, which is dishonest and closing in fast on a lie.
A statement can be inaccurate without being a lie

No, you still fail. There's no contradiction there. There's not even any conflict. You simply are too stupid and too prejudice to understand this. To the rest of us, it's obvious.

That's not what Moore did, nor did I imply that he did. You're thinking of Fox News. Those are the people who outright lie to their audience.

Conservatives: Masters of Hypocrisy.
Of course, all the conservatives will simply ignore the above videos -- and I only took a small sample -- hoping that the audience of this thread will forget watching them. There is no response to all the blantant and outragous lies that Fox News and all of conservative media puts out to misinform and mislead the public.
In contrast, Michael Moore has never decieved the public. I don't agree with all of Moore's opinions and proposed solutions, but no honest person would call Moore a liar. Fox News is nothing but liars telling the biggest and most damaging lies to the American people.
Sure. But are you going to tell me that Moore did not know the hospital he selected and used in his documentary was a gross exaggeration of what the typical Cuban hospital operated like?
Fuck ya. Moore was wrong, but not deliberately so. If you want to see deliberate, purposeful misleading of the public, just watch any of the above videos in this post.
Furthermore, being factually wrong about one supporting fact does not undermine a thesis that is supported by hundreds of other verified correct facts. As I stated before,
If you provide ten mathematical proofs of a theorem and only nine turn out to be correct proofs, that doesn't make the theorem false.
The person being dishonest here is you, SoftShell.

If moore wasn't deliberate in his hospital selection, then he is so stupid to have picked that hospital that he had no business producing the documentary in the first place. It gave the wrong impression of Cuban hospitals.
As an aside, thanks for all the insults. Looks like you are a bottom feeder...

He is not exploring an issue, he is simply proceeding from a foregone, inflammatory conclusion and editorializing any way he can to support that foregone conclusion. It is the exact opposite of enlightenment or dialog.

http://www.ijreview.com/2014/06/145100-multimillionaire-activist-michael-moore-cat-fight-wife-divorce-settlement/
Multimillionaire director Michael Moore, who regularly rails against the rich, is in a nasty battle with his estranged wife over their pending divorce settlement. One of his claims: “She†spent millions on “her†lakefront mansion.
In court filings, Moore claims his wife “unilaterally wasted a large percentage of the marital fundsâ€:
The liberal activist director and his wife, Kathleen Glynn, are scheduled for trial next month in a Michigan courtroom not far from the sprawling lakefront mansion that the Hollywood power contends became a money pit that cost five times what his wife claimed she would spend on the home.
Moore and Glynn jointly own “multiple substantial residences and multiple companies,†including Dog Eat Dog Films, the production company behind hit movies like “Roger &Me†and “Bowling for Columbine.â€
The couple’s real estate holdings include a total of nine properties in Michigan and New York. The duo co-owns a Manhattan condo that was created through the combination of three separate units.
While the couple’s combined net worth has not been made public, Moore’s estimated net worth alone stands at $50 million. And hey, good for him.
But…this is a guy who has railed against wealth in America for years: “fat-cat corporations,†“one-percenters,†“rich Republicans,†on and on.
At the end of the day, it appears that our friend Michael Moore is pretty darned concerned about money as well.
