I wish you could have taken down some questions and answers given in writing the body of of this post. What was Michael asked and how did Oprah respond..what were some of the remarks from the audience. I hold no fondness for Moore, but I have to see "something" to comment on one way or the other,before I go off freeping some show.

Moore was not on the show technically, but a portion of a video he shot was aired.

The video showed American atrocities and at the end said "CIA funded" OBL blew up the WTC.

To be more specific, the video showed times when Americans funded dictators. Then, it ended with OBL.

Michael Moore wasn't on the show. It was a sickening small video about the dictators we have propped up, us supporting Saddam in the 80s, the Contras, Noriega, and then some garbage about 9-11. It was really shocking, partially false, and gross.

As for the rest of the show, if Bill O'Rielly or Sean Hannity had been doing the show, you wouldn't have this outrage. But it's Oprah, and God forbid, she is heavy, but then only the truly immature and moronic among us would use that against her. Remember when Rush Limbaugh was fat and everyone came to his defense if a liberal made on issue of it? Hypocracy is so charming.

Of course Bill or Sean would have also presented their side and explained to the guests how they are wrong, but that's not what Oprah usually does. It was just a show on why so many in the world, and mostly Muslims and Arabs, hate us. Yes, the Muslim blamed our power for why people hate us, but so what, it doesn't make him right!

I do think that there are two sides to this war. We are going to liberate the Iraqis and eliminate the threat from Saddam, and then there is the evil of Saddam, who many chose to ignore because they can profit from his oil.

I think it a good policy not to complain about a program unless one has actually seen it. Too often I have seen things misinterpreted or misunderstood by people who don't like a certain aspect or have another ax to grind.

Oprah's show on Iraq last year is why my democrat sister supports the war. She still hasn't recovered from hearing about Iraq having official government rapists.

It is quite possible that there will be further shows on this subject. I think it best to get a transcript of the program befor writing letters.

Michael Moore, however, is always fair game. LOL!
