RE: Define representing...

I like Moore - like his movies - agree with much of his politics - and I loathe Heston and everything he stands for.

Yet that scene in that movie left a bad taste in my mouth and made me feel sorry for Heston. I understand Moore trying to make a point about that the NRA was going into a town to promote guns where several kids had recently been shot and the parents of those kids wanted the NRA NOT to come because it would be in incredibly bad taste and very hurtful to the devastated parents of those kids. Heston and the NRA has ZERO sympathy and blathered on about freedom of speech.

The problem is that Moore is sinking to the same kind of level and it comes across as a very small thing to do. But Moore is a bit of an angry junkyard dog and he gets his jaws into something and doesn't let go.

His brand of mockumentary works for the most part but that scene IMO is the worst thing he's done in anything I've seen from him. And unfortunately people remember this part of gun control/NRA thing more than the NRA going against parents' wishes shortly after their kids were killed by fire arms. Moore makes us feel bad for Heston when he should have made people feel bad for the parents and just angry at Heston. BAD BAD BAD scene.
