People who are informed by or have their opinions enhanced by such a man as Michael Moore are mental midgets and still dangerous...They vote.

--A while ago, he was challenged by CNN about "glaring inaccuracies" in Stupid White Men. "This is a book of political humour. So, I mean, I don’t respond to that sort of stuff, you know ... How can there be inaccuracy in comedy?"--

I appreciate the writer states many of the lies Moore spouts as fact.

I think it's Boosh's fault.

In books stores in Britian, there are tons of anti-Bush books. Noam Chomsky practically has a whole shelf to himself. Woodward's books and Moore's books line the shelves, but there aren't any conservative books.

Here is a photo of the American-hating elites in Cannes cheering this film at their antiBush rally:

Mr Moore takes up the story: "Nobody could go up in the sky. Except the administration allowed a private Saudi jet to go to five American cities and pick up 20 members of the bin Laden family and get them out of the country. And the FBI was very upset that they didn’t get to interrogate them."

This is truly remarkable. But it is also flatly untrue - as proven by the bipartisan 9/11 Committee, which found that the planes with Saudis took off only after airspace reopened and the FBI had interviewed 22 of the 26 suspects. The White House was not involved.


Facts? Liberal idiots don’t need no stinkin’ facts!

From a Barnes and Nobles review:

A reviewer, a college student, January 7, 2004,
I've found a candidate for the presidency!
Michael Moore knows his stuff. And just as importantly he has the courage to speak his mind in a time when free speech (by the left) is (hypocritically) seen as unpatriotic.
Furthermore, his clear and coherent writing style makes this book very user-friendly. No wonder it's gaining international fame and popularity! He speaks the truth!

How accepting this kid is of leftist drivel! Has he made any attempt to check the “facts” (like watch the news) or does he assume that because Mr. Moore is rich and famous and makes movies he just must be truthful?

That is too bad. Grab some from Amazon or other online book dealers. Read them and share them.

It seems that Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) also doesn't care for Michael Moore's BS. He reportedly spouted off claiming that Michael Moore must be some sort of a Republican secret weapon.

Penn's fans don't like Michael Moore's lies either.

Moore sells because he offers the political equivalent of urban legends that many people believe. They believe Moore because they desperately want to believe him. Who needs facts when a good unfounded rumor or outright lie will do? Like urban legends Moore can offer a small kernel of truth (or half-truth) in his manure pile of lies. It goes like this: politicians have financial and other relationships with corporations and other interests. Some politicians and some corporations are corrupt. Therefore according to the likes of Moore: all politicians who associate with corporations are corrupt...as long as they're Republicans. Of course Democrats and certain obnoxious, leftist, lying filmmakers with poor hygiene and millions of dollars made off these same "corrupt" corporations don't count.

Yes but they never vote republican. The danger is that it energizes more voter. I had a long dicussion with someone the other day that was a Moore freak. Turns out that he has never voted. Funny thing is I wonder of he votes this time around.

Why do good, honest writers not do a TV documentary for prime time, write newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, etc., on the lives of these men who care so little about integrity or how their work destroys the nation. Just a few photos of Michael Moore in his baseball cap along with a few captions of his statements with a counter statement showing the depth of his depravity would turn any decent person off.

I'm pleased to see that some members of the British press see through him.

American socialists are all over Europe, spreading lies about Bush, America and Israel. But American conservatives never leave America. Drives me mad to see all these American-written anti-American books flying off the shelves in the UK.

I saw post yesterday, that called for Moore to release his new movie over the internet for free. (Since he claims he is not in it for the money.) Good idea!
