Even though I like Michael Moore, that ebay auction advertising his relevance was classic.

I don't see how approx. 51% of USA voting for Bush makes Moore's message any less relevant.

Michael Moore is to busy with his "Super Size Me" LARP to really write anything.

If Moore had even a lick of common sense, maybe we'd take him seriously... For all of us who have family and friends proudly fighting in Iraq, it's sickening how he acts like he's doing it all for our soldiers... Saying we're there for no reason, that we're getting some joy out of killing innocent Iraqis--he's giving the enemy a reason to fight...
This outright America bashing is what emboldens the enemy... he's as bad as he claims Bush is...
But go ahead with your drivel, and keep wondering why no 'haters' even bother with a real argument anymore...

I hate Moore because he no different than the people he insults in his films. He's just the other side of the coin, lying and manipulating facts to fit his view.
I hate the president as much as the next guy, but this guy is just Rush Limbaugh with no shaving ability and less drugs.

But we do have no reason being in Iraq. I do agree that Moore does exaggerate the fact and I don't really consider his so-called "documentary" as real "documentary" because of dramatic exaggeration - but he does carry strong opinion, often convincing and agreeable in his films.
Anti-War = Anti America? That's so... say, Ann Coulter-ish logic.
.. anyhow, I found the reactions in european newspapers were quite something today, to the point of hilarious.

To be honest I dont understand all the Moore hate?
Sure I understand that people hate him for the way he bends facts and takes things out of context, but every news network out there does it and I dont see that kind of hate directed towards them.
I find his work interesting and somewhat informative; however I wouldnt believe every fact spewed out in one of his documentaries.
One large positive that his work does achieve is it gets people talking about key issues which imo is a great thing, shame its not all in good taste.

I'd like to thank Michael Moore. He did a lot to re-elect Bush when he jumped into the Presidental Campaign.

I don't have many problems with Moore, except that he is a sensationalist that doesn't really try to be objective - feeding into the other set of sheep in the country.
Most times what Moore does is about as useful as Micheal Jackson (oe Eminem these days) writing a song about someone

What kills me about Moore is he usually has a strong case for whatever he's arguing for/against. But he goes and manipulates/fabricates the "facts" to make his case stronger (in his opinion at least).
Hello...Michael...
...stop with the alterations and just plead your case in a purer form -- it's much stronger than you give credit to.

In some minor, perverse way, the election was a test of Michael Moore's credibility. Do you support GWB and the war he stands for? Or (apart from the other alternatives and naysayers) do you stand with Michael Moore against the war?
Michael Moore lost that contest. End of story. His little blog is just a case of sour grapes and, frankly, it's a bit pathetic. And this is coming from someone who liked his movies. He needs to learn to eat crow when it's served.

Michael Moore should have posted something like this on conservative message boards:
"A VOTE FOR BUSH IS A VOTE FOR MOORE TO MAKE MORE MOVIES. DON'T HELP MOORE."
I swear we'd have Kerry in office.
EDIT: ScientificNinja, quit being a doosh-headed doosh. He knows he lost. He's just trying to put a positive spin on a horrific situation.

On O'Reilly show, I think it showed a survey where 24% of respondents saw Michael Moore as a reason why they would go with Bush, and only 4% that would vote against him...TheDuce22 said:
Basically, Moore turned more people to Bush than turn against him...
I always thought that was bunk based on my own experience with friends that bought the Fahrenheit 9/11 stuff, but maybe the survery was correct after all...
btw, this is the truth. Canadian Bacon rocks.DrForester said:Obviously you people have never seen...

"There's a time to think, and a time to act. And this, gentlemen, is no time to think!" :lol
The Liberals have Michael Moore, the republicans have Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, etc, etc, etc.
He's a much lesser evil than any individual of the neo-faci... conservative cult. Combined, he's a much needed counter poison to sway the people that can't engage in critical thinking much. For the people that can... well we're in the minority anyway, so whatever.

Moore basically doesn't ealize how much of and annoying joke he is. The films he does are not documentaries. If they were "documentaries" he wouldn't find it needed to twist facts and rearrange speeches to get them to fill his agenda.
He's no better than any other slanderist out there. His tactics are supsect at best and I wish the MPAA would recognize him for what he truy is, a liar. Take away this asshats Oscar please, his films are no less fictional than anything on the Sci-Fi channel.
this is great by the way.. in just moronic tis jerk-off truly is.
16. There are nearly 300 million Americans -- 200 million of them of voting age. We only lost by three and a half million! That's not a landslide -- it means we're almost there. Imagine losing by 20 million. If you had 58 yards to go before you reached the goal line and then you barreled down 55 of those yards, would you stop on the three yard line, pick up the ball and go home crying -- especially when you get to start the next down on the three yard line? Of course not! Buck up! Have hope! More sports analogies are coming!!!
He makes it seem like 200 mill actually DID vote. Sorry skippy, you'r elucky if it was even half that actually went to the polls. 3 and a 1/2 MILLION is still a pretty large margin in an election that was supposed to be tooth and nail.
Why is this guy rich and marginally famous (famous being an objectionable word anyway n this case)?
