Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man - Amazon.Com Review
MooreLies.Com ^ | 7-1-04

Posted on 07/01/2004 3:14:21 PM PDT by jmstein7

From Amazon:

Watching Michael Moore in action -- passing off manipulating facts in Bowling for Columbine, spinning statistics in Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, shamelessly grandstanding at the Academy Awards, and epitomizing the hypocrisy he's made a king's fortune railing against -- has spurred authors David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke to take action into their own hands. In Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, Hardy and Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of camera tricks and publicity ploys to present his own version of the truth.

Postwar documentarians gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary.

How, they ask, does Moore pull off a proletarian, "man-of-the-people" image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite? And how large of an impact do his incendiary, ill-founded polemics have on the growing community that follows him with near-religious devotion? Loaded with well-researched, solidly reasoned arguments, and laced with irreverent wit, Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man fires back at one of the left's biggest targets -- politically and literally.

That's not a review, rather a book description sent out by the publisher.

My review is on there, and the book is on the way. I looked around the bookstore last night and didn't see it. Are the long hair clerks hiding it? Hmm

A one star review posted today, from the left:


Consider the source, July 2, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from Washington, DC United States
David Hardy's motives are clear. He's a shill for the gun lobby. Heck, NRA Executive VP Wayne LaPierre was the best man at his wedding. The simple fact is if W loses, America might actually adopt some sane gun laws that will prevent tragedies like three Alabama police officers being gunned down in June by one assault weapon-wielding assailant. Hardy and his ilk will do anything to maintain access to any and all weaponry for himself and his insecure buddies. The NRA lies on a regular basis, so why should anyone be surprised when its minions do the same? Save your money and get the facts on Hardy at Buzzflash.com

Will David Hardy and Jason Clarke do the same with the money they make from this ludicrous book? The authors are typical money grubbing Republicans (in fact, Hardy is a well paid shill for the NRA), so its glaringly obvious the answer is a resounding no. Keep buying this book, conservative sheep, and send your repulsive heros laughing all the way to the bank.
