Nitpick: firecat says in the original post that she hadn't confirmed the site's calims for accuracy. So, it wouldn't be "lying" but rather "alleged lying" unless you have done the fact-checking.
True, I haven't confirmed that site either. Maybe I should've said "Lying like Moore is accused of" Then again, I've read enough reports of similar lies and unverified claims perpetrated by Michael Moore in Angry White Men (reported in Salon.com -- hardly a right-wing site upset with his ideology) that I find such accusatons against Bowling for Columbine wholly plausible. That's another problem with telling lies; the boy who cries wolf analogy makes it that much harder to believe his veracity.
