First of all and a) I never once agreed with Moore in Bowling for Columbine.
Secondly and b) Your left/right redneck/spokesman thing is ridiculous and not even worth talking about. You're taking one person and using it to personify everyone who may believe the same as them politically? Just...no. Come on now. Think brutha.
Now, on to the real issue. Moore, in his movie, posed the idea that maybe this country was too gun obsessed, making the weapons too easy to get and available to people with little or no training. I personally disagreed with him, but that's not the point. In his stating this he angered these gun toting rednecks you so lovingly bring up. Angered them so much they threatened his life. He later angered them more when he 'attacked' their boy W. The two of those things together got the man a slew of death threats against himself and his family. He hired bodyguards, as is his right, and I dare say his duty. One of the men he hired, who is a trained profesional in the use of firearms and thusly not one of the people Moore was saying shouldn't be allowed a weapon, let some permits lapse or some other beuracratic nonsense. How, exactly, does that make Moore a hypocrite?
