Michael Moore
I recently saw one of his movies called,"Bowling For Columbine". For those of you who dont know we know Columbine from the shooting there that occured. I live in Colorado, and I can plainly see that this guy is crazy. Have any of you seen this film? From what I can see, this man truely hates America.

I think saying that he hates America makes you sound pretty silly. That's
not to say however that he's not a liar and a bastard.
I haven't seen any of his movies because I know they're bullin the first
place so I'm not going to waste my time.

He doesn't hate America. He's just doing what he's good at, distorting the truth to make money out of stupid people. Seriously, people need to realise that he too presents a bias to the audience in all of his documentaries...
I love Michael Moore. He's insanely liberal and more of a propoganda artist than someone who makes totally truthful documentaries. However, his movies DO contain some facts, and I think he often makes good points. If nothing else, his movies are good for a laugh (usually at the conservative right.)
Take the skinheads bowling, take them bowling!
I could walk across the street, and get hit by a car. Michael Moore would see it as I knew something, and the driver of the car whom was a dinner guest of a man who seen George W. Bush on TV once who was paid in some wierd way, to end my life.
The government would simply say that's not true, and the driver would say he was drunk. Michael Moor would still make a movie about it, and get a fat check.

I'm quite liberal, have never seen any of his movies, and still hate him.
This reminds me of a thread by one of my all time favourite members.
Michael Moore: Genius or Bastard
there was a picture here
I'm with Hsu on this one. He's a pompous windbag out to make money.
While I agree that the conservative right needs to be stopped, I feel that distorting facts and outright lying is not the way to get it done. The ends do not justify the means.

What Jebus and Hsu said.
Hates America. Yeah, just as Castro hated Cuba, Lenin hated Russia, Ho Chi Minh hated Vietnam.Originally Posted by Max
The only true patriots are the people who stand up and say 'No! This is not what I want for my country!', not those who sit and think 'If the government says it, then it must be best for the nation'.
The State and the Nation are two seperate entities.
'Liberals' that don't support what is right are those who are too scared too truly opposse what is wrong.
And if you've never seen his work, how can you hate him? Judging by what a few old neo-fascist republicans said? I thought you were 'liberal'?
Anyway, I think a distortion of the facts such as 'There are WMDs in Iraq' is of greater consequence than slightly biased presentation of facts. Michael Moore's films never left 10,000 dead. Maybe a few Republicans died of horror, but they're weird like that.

I love this whole "Michael moore hates America because he doesn't fall in line with my values" notion. It's truly hilarious. It really is.
Michael Moore does not lie - he distorts facts. His movies are more about making people look bad than anything else. It works extremely well too.
Actually, I don't trust our leaders any farther than I can throw them. My opinion of Michael Moore is based very little on political stance. He seems more like he's out to make a quick buck than to actually provide the public with truth. Distorting truths in order to stir up controversy so people will pay $6 at the theater to see a "documentary" seems like a shady tactic to me.
It has very little to do with politics.
it's the hype around michael moore that makes him seem extra ridiculous.
I've seen Fahrenheit 9/11. It made me feel a bit ill.
I bought (because it was $5 on overtocked.com) Fahrenhype 9/11 (the counter to the previous) and it was just plain better. I mean, aside from my obvious bias because I think Micheal Moore is a classless ignorant jerk, it was made better, and had a more appropriate and informative tone than the Micheal Moore's movie.
