Moore is a fellow Michigan native sorry to say. We find his underwear from time to time. We know they are his because the tag says "Flint Tent and Awning".
Lacks the requisite Barf Alert.
This is the type of person they give journalism degrees to?
I'm underwhelmed.
Yeah right...only a narrow-minded moron would consider Moore Pro-America!
I find it difficult to read an article that starts out with what I like to call "the opposite of fact".
Sadly, I've seen all of Moore's stuff, including "Canadian Bacon". It is my considered and informed opinion that he is surpassed in his disdain for "regular", working-class, white Americans only by gary Keillor and Tah-RAY-zuh. He portrays them as ignorant, racist, low-class, violent, xenophobic alcoholic hypocrites, and those are the ones he supposedly likes. You can learn all you need to know about his hatred for America by watching five minutes of any scene with the sherrif and deputy in "Bacon", or the scene in the jail in "Roger". He believes himself to be SOOO much smarter and more sophisticated than us. The writer of this article cannot possibly have missed this.
I believe I heard that terrorist groups were using his film as a recruitment tool. Is that true and if it is has Mr. Moore shown any regret that his film is being used to encourage people to kill Americans?
Not a beating offense. Don't sweat it. :)
After September 11, Michael Moore's first reaction was that the stupid terrorists didn't kill enough Bush voters.
You can claim that's not hatred of Americans if you like. Anyone who thinks I and my family should be randomly slaughtered because Dick Clark is underpaying a waitress isn't going to make my Christmas card list this year.
Hint for Carpenter: General Motors shareholders are Americans too.
...or the Democratic Party as well.
It was widely reported that the 2003 Academy Awards was the least-watched Oscar ceremony since Nielsen Media Research began keeping records in 1974.
Larry Hyams, ABC's chief "excuse" researcher said:
"It was such a special instance, it's hard to speculate what it was beyond the war coverage." He noted that "viewer-ship has been sharply up for cable news networks covering the war full time".
Could it be the lack of viewer-ship had everything to do with the disdain many Americans feel toward the Left Coast Hollywood Wing Nuts who called the them ignorant and uninformed in their stance on the war effort, that our President is a liar, that they would make an exodus from this country should Bush be reelected and studios have especially become inherently incapable of producing quality films worthy of any true Oscar recognition?
They just don't get it! The In Crowd has become the Out Crowd to millions of Americans.
Earlier Oscar lows came in 1987, when 37.2 million people watched "Platoon" win best picture, and 37.8 million in 1986, when "Out of Africa" won. Oscar's record was the 55.2 million viewers in 1998, when "Titanic" won.
I predict also with the snubbing of Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", the numbers may even fall [as in fall off a cliff] to an all time low.
The irony of Michael Moore is that he is "THE UGLY AMERICAN" and doesn't even seem to know it.
I don't understand why THE PASSION getting an Academy Award is so damn important. It was a good movie. It wasn't the best movie this year. It just wasn't. I don't think Mel made this movie to get an Academy Award. And, in a way, I'd rather it not get sullied in with the rest of the stuff that night. It's like in a special class by itself. It's commercial success was unprecedented. Why isn't that enough?
The Oscars has now become an event for Hollywood's left to pat each other on the back and polarize their hate for America...I'm sure you remember the vile slob's speech last year.
