Moore sucks.
You know, I wish I had something a bit more profound to say on the topic, but I don't. The guy distorted the truth & made money on a film based upon the brutal murders of children & Hollywood gave him an Oscar.
Now, he lies about our country, our President, and says we got what we deserved on 9-11-01.
Mr. Moore, thank you. Your nasty little movie is going to get Bush reelected. The American public has had about enough of the bile your ilk puts out.

Some great cartoons! Thanks for posting them.
Michael Ramirez is my favorite political cartoonist!
Unfortunately he works for the Left Angeles Times which I canceled. I have to catch him online.

Semper Fi,

Here's an interesting letter to the editor from one of the throwaway supplements to my local Sunday comic strip publication: (Sender's name omitted.)

"Moore's critics not all off-base

Editor -- Jonathan Curiel's profile of Michael Moore ("Fahrenheit Rising," Insight section, June 20) breathed some timid reservations about Moore, a beleaguered dissident with only wealth, prestige and fawning celebs for comfort.

I wish, though, that Curiel did not assume that Moore's critics are mostly "conservatives who don't like his message." I can't stand President Bush. You don't have to be a Bush supporter to loathe hysterical, bombastic, phony agit-prop.

Moore owes his popularity to our increased inability to distinguish between entertainment and exposition.

My friends claim, in Moore's defense, that "he makes you think." But that's exactly what he doesn't do.

In "Bowling for Columbine," an interview with a smiling Lockheed Martin official cut away to footage of people being bombed. We are suitably awed, as though this is some kind of insight, when actually Moore has only shown that wars kill people.

This kind of visual argument has always been a key propaganda tool, precisely because it stops people thinking while making them feel involved."

You know, I wish I had something a bit more profound to say on the topic, but I don't.

I do, but if I ever posted what I really thought and advocated, Men In Grey Flannel Suits would be at the door very quickly.

[Hildy]

If you really want to get aggravated, go to the IMDB message board for this film. The level of hatred for Bush is beyond anything I could ever imagine in my lifetime.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Very funny and good liknes, but he looks much Moore blubbery in photographs.

[gargoyle]

...Thanks for the laugh. Good on yer...

[seastay]

More film is not documentary, it's a commentary?
