People pick on Michael Moore's not so smart statements. I do not believe Moore is dumb either because of what he has achieved in the past. He could not get there by being stupid. Both use their intelligence to push their point of view on the public.
She made a incorrect statement about Canada sending troops to Vietnam. That is what the post is about.
If she went to a "good" school and has a history of political commentary what ever she says is right despite the facts?

She made one mistake. Big? No, not to me. Perhaps to Canadians, it was big.
I didn't say whatever she says is right. I am saying she is incredibly intelligent. Moore is not. However, Moore is not trying to be intelligent. Moore is a film maker and at that he is extremely talented. He doesn't even try to make himself out as "intelligent".
Extreme political views? Well as I've said before regarding anyone: If you find problems with what she writes, present proof otherwise. In this case you got her on one mistake which might embarass her, but doesn't compare with how you can go into Moore's film and take apart all the mistakes and lies.
At the end of the day, she's very intelligent. I think Al Franken is very intelligent as well (probably even more intelligent) and they both function in the same role in American politics.
