EXPOSED: The Left's biggest (and we do mean biggest) liar and hypocrite, Michael Moore

Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke

Oscar-winning filmmaker and bestselling author Michael Moore has made a king's fortune railing against the hypocrisy he epitomizes. In "documentaries" like Bowling for Columbine and the soon-to-be-released Fahrenheit 9/11, and in "nonfiction" books like Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, Moore has proved himself over and over to be the most shamelessly dishonest -- if crudely effective -- propagandist since Joseph Goebbels and Nazi documentarian Leni Riefenstahl. Now, in Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of doctored film footage, manipulated facts, and spliced speeches to tamper with the truth.

"Postwar filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary," write the authors. Drawing from the archives of their hugely popular websites MooreLies.com and MooreExposed.com, Hardy and Clarke intrepidly expose:

• How Moore pulls off a "man of the people" image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite

• Moore's upper-middle-class origins: how this self-described son of factory workers from Flint, Michigan was anything but

• Why Moore shows the greatest disdain for that which he actually is: "a very rich, pasty white American male"

• Why Warner Brothers, the distributor of Moore's first film, Roger & Me, was forced to pay legal damages to a man portrayed by Moore in a false light

• Why Moore's Oscar-winning anti-gun-rights documentary, Bowling for Columbine, is "as manipulative as totalitarian propaganda"

• How, in Columbine, Moore made Charlton Heston -- once a leader of the civil rights movement, a personal friend of Martin Luther King, and a regular guest speaker for the Congress of Racial Equality -- come across as a gun-crazy racist, all by distorting the evidence and "creative" editing

• Moore the Prophet: how he has fared in some of his high-profile predictions, such as his 2002 declaration that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il was about to have "a change of heart"

• Reported in full: Moore's hateful and racist (anti-white) remarks while on a speaking tour in England just after 9/11

• The hilarious story behind Moore's grandstanding at the Academy Awards -- at which he was loudly booed, to his evident surprise

• How Moore bends the truth to fit his predetermined thesis, creating a false impression for a wide audience that takes in his message

• How Moore's career and public persona fit the textbooks definition of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, pervading his works with a truly pathological combination of overwhelming egotism and self-loathing

Loaded with the kind of accurate, honest reporting to which Moore is notoriously averse, and laced with the irreverent wit he only thinks he has, Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man will have you asking: "Dude, where's your integrity?"

Be one of the first to own what is bound to be one of the most talked about conservative books of the summer.

This slob gets way too much attention and should be ignored by all.

Michael Moore is a liar and a dangerous man but he is not a stupid man. He is expert at finding societies Achilles heel and exploiting it for his own profit. A prime example of this was the basis for his movie "Bowling for Columbine". The question the movie ostensibly set out to answer was "Why do Canadians have more guns per capita but less gun crime?" He knew perfectly well what the answer to this question is and in his usual smug manner he defied society to say the answer out loud. Charleton Heston alluded to it. One Canadian girl said it plainly. But Moore preferred to suggest that every category of American is responsible for America's high rate of gun crime and suggested that we Americans generally, as a people, are a violent bunch.

Maybe we deserve Moore for being so P.C.

Michael Moore ( I think I am the minority) should get as much press as the liberal media is allowing him to have. Why do I think that? He is a liar. He gets paid to hype half truth and innuendo's. The lies will be exposed, as they always are. I would be more frightened that this man could live in the shadows of Hollywood than in the microscope of Hollywood. Yes, he wants the attention. I don't disagree with that. But he also hides behind being a man of "comedy" with a few truths thrown in to make it look like he is really making a documentary. He is a jester in the court of Democrats. They will call upon him to make a point...but won't stand behind him when the details of his life are shown.

Did anyone see this big slob on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIAN LAST NIGHT? My husband made me watch it, I'm sorry. Anyway, He is SO backtracking. He kept saying it's just HIS opinion! LOL! Conan was very good. I got the impression he didn't agree with the movie, but did what a host does. He started the conversation by asking Moore about the part in the beginning where he shows members of the Administration getting ready to be interviewed on TV and they are having make-up applied. Conan asked him basically, "so what? That's what everyone does." (Everyone except those who need it most, like Moore). Then Moore told how Wolfowitz spit on his comb to straighten his hair (ooh, what a scandal). Conan said, "That just made me like him more!" At the end Conan said, Like the movie or not, people are discussing the issues of the world and that's a good thing. And I'm beginning to agree.

I always thought it was because Canadians live so far from each other even a rifle shot will not make it to the next house!

Just kidding. Your points on Moore are right on. Hs is a giant gas bag. It will be interesting to see how the press finally deals with him.

Moore was a last minute no-show for a Fox News interview this morning.

"Michael Moore is a liar and a dangerous man but he is not a stupid man."

That's the same description many have given of Saddam Hussein.

"Documentaries"? More like poorly edited home video, stuff that couldn't get on "Jackass".

Exactly! If only people would just ignore Moore and his ilk. That is all they crave attention and if we give them none they have failed.
