Michael Moore - gadfly filmmaker, liberal activist and political lightning rod - says he finds himself being hugged by a lot of Republicans these days.
On the streets of Traverse City, where Moore is working on last-minute preparations for a bigger-and-better sequel to the film festival he launched last year in his home state, the Oscar-winning director says he is approached all the time by conservatives ready to make peace.
"If you were to hang out with me here it won't be five or 10 minutes before you see a Republican hug me. That is almost as entertaining as some of the films," Moore said in an interview.

Most likely a McCain republican...
"I would love to see true Conservatives running, and I fear that will only happen as independents."
Let's add traitor. He called the scum in Fallujah that murdered contractors and fought our Marines 'the minutemen' and predicted (wrongly) that they would win.
Tokyo Rose had nothing on this putz.
Sheehan envy!
Elasasti Girl is a Republican?
I thought Moore carries a gun. Why would he let a Republican inside its minimum effective range?
My parents live up there.
After first unsuccessfully trying to impact local politics, this jerk backed off and is trying to improve his image with the locals by running this film festival.
Sadly, it appears to be working to some extent.
No kidding. I think MM is too much for even the Log Cabin Republicans to stomach.
Don't believe everything you read.
I wouldn't hug the ulgy creature if he was the most conservative being on the planet.
Out of the many things one can say about him is that he's one the biggest unashamed capitalists living today. Maybe that's why they're hugging him. /sarcasm
Unfortunately, I believe him. I've met alot of country club Republicans who voted for Bush but bail out when things get a little messy and they have to pay a few more pennies for gas.
Yeah, we are trying to kill him with kindness.
I got my friend to hug Michael Moore.
I did it by betting him that he couldn't get his arms all the way around him.
Easy money!
Yes. She voted "no" when it came to expanding affirmative action.
Michael Moore attended the islamic school of lying.
All kidding aside, this guy is probably one of the best things to happen to the GOP. Howard Dean too.
Both are far too stupid, and off the wall to be taken seriously.
What a moron. Moore really thinks he has enough credibility to pass this ridiculous statement off as truth, but what's his point? Is he that desperate for Republicans to like him? I sure hope so.
