MOORE TO HESTON: HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

On his website, Michael Moore has written an open letter to Charlton Heston, who intends to hold a large pro-gun rally in Tuscon, just days after a student shot three professors before taking his own life:
When you showed up in Denver to hold your pro-gun rally just days after the massacre at nearby Columbine High School, the nation was shocked at your incredible insensitivity to those who had just lost loved ones.

When you came to Flint to hold another rally in the months after a 6-year old boy shot a 6-year old girl at a nearby elementary school, the community was stunned by your desire to rub its face in its grief.

But your announcement that you are on your way to Tucson today, just 48 hours after a student at the University of Arizona shot and killed three professors and then himself, to hold ANOTHER big pro-gun celebration -- this time to get out the vote for the NRA-backed Republican running for Congress -- well, sir, I have to ask you: Have you no shame?

Go Mike! Even better, Moore seems to have is eye on the ball as of late. From his website, he is now calling on his readers to keep the GOP from getting a majority in the Senate, and directing them to the campaigns of a number of Democrats.
