Who would know it best other than Michael Moore? Michael Moore tells the truth. It takes one to know one. And Moore does a great job of journalism.

No, he is far whackier than Bill. Bill is opinionated and a little bit annoying even to some Right Wingers, but he isn't running around missing around half cocked most of the time.

What are Michael Moore's lies exactly? lol..........he is an independent and a liberal. Therefore, he can play the right cards to get rich if he wants to and along the way he can expose all the oppressive cliques who are ruining our economy and government.

Michael Moore, God bless him, would make a good adviser to a President who wanted to kick ass and solve problems. He has the ideas that get attention and more importantly the guts to carry them through.

I love the guy and I'm happy he's an equal opportunity offender. Yeah, he leans Democrat, but he skewers both parties with a skill that is sorely needed in DC. He would not make a good President because he doesn't posses the finesse the job requires. He could acquire it, yes, but his personality just wouldn't fit in with all those suit-wearers.

If I were President, I would appoint him to my Administration in a PR capacity. He knows how to rally people behind causes. Unlike Karl Rove (how dare I compare the two!), he would empower people directly rather than disempower them without their conscious knowledge.

The only Bill I appreciate is Bill Maher.

Mmmm how could you paste my quote and miss this?

Michael Moore a victim of his own success

"Now a new book, "Do As I Say (Not As I Do) -- Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy," by the right-wing commentator Peter Schweizer, criticizes Moore for not living up to the high moral standards he claims to espouse. The author, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, went through publicly available IRS documents to discover that Moore's foundation bought shares in some of the companies he has spent a career in the media attacking.
Not just a few shares either. Don't forget Moore has always said he doesn't own any stock and doesn't have a broker. But his foundation owns tens of thousands of shares in Boeing, Sonoco, Eli Lilly and Halliburton, the same defense company that "Fahrenheit 9/11" attacked for making huge profits out of rebuilding such countries as Afghanistan and Iraq after U.S. military intervention.
Even more damaging, try logging on to the Name the Hypocrite Web site and read claims that Moore, who says conservatives are racist because they don't support affirmative action, has managed to employ only three black people out of a work force of 135 working on his books, television shows and radio projects. Moore, who says Americans who live in white neighborhoods are racist, has lived for the past seven years in a waterfront home in Central Lake, Mich., a community of 2,600 residents. The 2000 Census records that the number of black people living there is zero."

He has stated unequivocally that he has not contributed to the companies he rails against. Your link has been debunked in my opinion.

The "left is bereft of ideas" is the most exaggerated stupidity I've read in a decade.

If you want to count personal attacks, count how many people in this thread have insulted his weight and his sanity. The claims of his political positions from some of you here are so ridiculous it's sad. His television show that compared health care in Canada, the USA, and Cuba concluded that the best care at the cheapest cost was attained in Cuba. That it is a communist country is irrelevant. He didn't raise that issue, his detractors did! The network his show was on would not allow Cuba to win his contest, so he was forced to change it to show that Canada won. (Although, in hindsight, many of you only recall the Cuba sequence from Sicko which was in a way, the same kind of comparison).

The American medical establishment would never allow anyone to suggest that things could be better elsewhere, especially if it was a country that many consider an enemy. Do you think they'd want anyone knowing what they provide could be had for less? Let us not forget how capitalists can be guilty of deceit and manipulation to ensure they stay in power and profitable at any expense. I'm not defending Cuba as a whole, I'm simply saying that the facts show they can provide cheaper and better coverage for everyone while we here at home struggle with rising costs and skyrocketing profits and are unwilling to apply a tested, better solution. Oh yeah, but the left is bereft of ideas! I have to lay/lie (whichever!) on the floor now, my stomach hurts from laughing...
