Just more evidence that a lot of Germans are stupid.

Bet he'll be a big hit on Sprockets with Dieter.

"I'm sort of surprised by his success in Germany," says Tilmann Schulze, a clerk at Berlin bookstore Hugendubel. "I think that his arguments are much too superficial." This guy definitely hit the nail on the head.

I hope the fat sob...well, I better not say.

Moore is simply fanning the flames of bigotry and hatred. Liberals are for the most part hypocrites and this is simply more evidence of that.

"...stop this God bless America stuff..."Well, he's over there, not here ... that's a blessing.
Maybe they'll keep him. They've been attracted to squeaky-voiced harranguers before...

Why doesn't this terror symp slug go to Iraq and "protest" along side Saddam's thugs. Better yet he could he could head to the West Bank and park his fat ass in front of a bulldozer.

Moore was on television constantly, all day Sunday. I would be changing the channel and there he was lying from morning until night.

"Just more evidence that a lot of Germans are stupid."
You nailed it! The Allies captured all of the smart Germans in World War II, and the gene pool in Germany has not recovered.

Many younger Germans, who make up the bulk of Mr. Moore's readership, have distanced themselves from responsibility for the Nazi-era sins. The younger Germans perfer to let the Arabs kill the Jews for them....
To: TroutStalker
Having read one of Moore's books (used my library card, would never pay for that trash), I'd say that he is as deserving of being called a writer as I am of being called an artist based on my stick-figure drawings.
It is baffling to me how anyone of any political persuasion (even a Bush hater) can be drawn to his nonsensical rantings. If you pick up one of his books you'll understand what I'm saying.

Michael Moore is the new face of the Ugly American. He's a fat slob and a loudmouth but foreign audiences pay to watch him denegrate America (in ways he never did with Democrats in power).
He's the liberal's "Stepen Fetchit". An ugly caricature that confirms people's stereotypes. Tell them all the lies that they like to hear.
Funny how his audiences don't find hypocrisy in paying to see a rich anticapitalist (I believe that he has several homes, at least one cost over a million dollars). It's not a dedication to his message that they come to hear, it is just that he feeds their antiAmericanism.
I saw a review this year for Stupid White Guy's book in Malaysia. The critic agreed with some of the points that he made but was aware of blatant lies and distortions in the book. He felt that such tactics weakened the work. He also was aware that many were buying the book for its antiAmericanism.
The book cover for Stupid White Guy (the book with Michael Moore's picture squarely on the cover) has an American flag on the French and Malaysian versions of the cover (replacing the bureacrats/executives) on the US version. Still don't think he's selling antiAmericanism? (I'm not addressing you, Zathras, with this comment; just anyone who may be reading this board)
US covers:
FRENCH covers:
I also found this version of the artwork for Bowling For Columbine:
It's "funny" that a man who ridicules Americans for having a lack of geography knowledge is spending his time globetrotting asking "Dude, where's my country?".

Of course the perfect scenario (as long as I'm not in it) is to give Moore and his commie pals some state, city, or country to ruin. He could be the Minister of Culture in the Socialist States of America with Nader and Chomsky as co-dictators er I mean co-prime ministers.

So, the land of the Master Race loves the author of Stupid White Men, eh? LOL.... LOL. You might want to check the New York Times Bestseller List. Seems he's one of America's favorite writers.
