Ok, eminem he is not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYZre8kEsuw Rich old white people should take notice: DO NOT RAP!

Finally, liberals have a slogan that A) rhymes and B) is actually true: "Newsweek Lied, People Died!" So you can imagine my surprise to find out conservatives are the only ones saying it. Where's the liberal outrage over the deaths of at least 17 innocent people, thanks to the bogus Newsweek report that American interrogators flushed copies of the Koran down the toilet? Where are the scores of foul-smelling leftist hippies screeching, "Newsweek Lied, People Died!?" Newsweek has since retracted the story after a 5 year-old child demonstrated for them the impossibility of flushing any kind of book down the...

As many of you will recall, Fred Barnes recently wrote a column titled "Michael Moore and Me" denying an incident that Moore described in his book Stupid White Men. Barnes' article can be seen here. Barnes denies that the conversation ever even took place. I was prompted by another FR thread to make the following comparison. Moore's account in Stupid White Men is reproduced below: On this particular Sunday morning, perhaps as punishment for not being at Mass, I was forced to listen [on The McLaughlin Group] to magazine columnist Fred Barnes (now an editor at the right-wing Weekly Standard...

A FEW YEARS AGO Michael Moore, who's now promoting an anti-President Bush movie entitled Fahrenheit 9/11, announced he'd gotten the goods on me, indeed hung me out to dry on my own words. It was in his first bestselling book, Stupid White Men. Moore wrote he'd once been "forced" to listen to my comments on a TV chat show, The McLaughlin Group. I had whined "on and on about the sorry state of American education," Moore said, and wound up by bellowing: "These kids don't even know what The Iliad and The Odyssey are!" Moore's interest was piqued, so the...

(Note: this is the published, column length version of the article. To read the full version of the article, see Michael Moore, you used to be my hero. Back in the days of your pro-worker documentary Roger & Me (1989), I was working construction at a power plant in the South, and you were the one public figure who seemed to speak for working men. The one who questioned the right of a business to take what it wants from a community and then pull out in search of cheaper labor, leaving a trail of unemployment and broken lives behind....

INTRODUCTION THERE ARE THOSE who say it all started to unravel the night of November 7, 2 000, when Jeb Bush gave his brother George Jr. an early Christmas present the state of Florida. For others, those upon whom a decade's fortune had smiled, the turning point came when the Dow had its biggest annual loss in almost twenty years. For most, though, the day the music died came the night we were told Pluto was no longer a planet, and life as we knew it was as distant as the look in the new "President's" eyes. Wherever you choose...

Michael Moore may be the toast of the self-annointed tastemakers of Canada and the Continent, revered for his irreverent unearthing of all that is corrupt and evil about Amerika. The problem is that Michael Moore's revealed truths about the U.S. are about as credible as Al Gore's claim that he invented the Internet. As Andrew Sullivan pointed out in a revealing essay on Moore in the Sunday Times of London, "Less is Moore", Michael Moore is a serial dissembler. Once he's on a roll, the truth is about as important to Michael Moore as spousal fidelity is to Bill Clinton....

Idiot Time by Alan Wolfe The New Republic Stupid White Men ... and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! by Michael Moore (ReganBooks, 304 pp., $24.95) Something about the subjects of wealth and power seems to bring out the worst in people. The more populistic he becomes, the more ominous Kevin Phillips sounds; and it is a shame to see him fall into the company of people like Ross Perot, Patrick Cadell, and Ralph Nader. But for Michael Moore there is not much room to fall. Films such as Roger and Me and books such as Downsize...

Sunday, April 7, 2002 12:00AM EST Please, a little less of Moore By J. PEDER ZANE It is easy to dismiss Michael Moore as a self-aggrandizing, intellectually lazy gasbag. He is all that and less. But the provocateur best known for the documentary "Roger and Me" is now the author of a sporadically funny populist rant that is the best-selling book in America, "Stupid White Men ... and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation" (ReganBooks, $24.95, 277 pages). And as we learned in the 1990s, when a flurry of vicious best sellers from strident right-wingers helped paralyze...

<p>NEW YORK (AP) --  Bernard Goldberg and Michael Moore have very little and very much in common.</p> <p>Both claim to have opinions the public wants to hear, but not the media elite. Goldberg, an ex-CBS News Correspondent and author of "Bias," says the TV networks favor the left; Moore, a longtime agitator and author of "Stupid White Men," thinks they favor the rich.</p>
