In reply to the discussion: Hmmm? I wonder why people chose to leave off this part of Michael's interview [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)Cad Bane's 'Hate MM, he's a racist and so is anyone who defends him' thread, and the 28 people who recced it, but it got deleted and he got banned for it.
The issue is not 'people complaining'. The issue is people going into frothing fits of vitriol at MM, and anyone who doesn't simply agree with them that MM actually was saying 'Obama has done nothing worth remembering'. Despite the transcripts that clearly show MM saying, in the exact same interview, that Obama has done plenty of good things. Moore's statement was more a statement on Americans' grasp of history (or lack thereof).
Now I think he's wrong - actually labeling the PPACA 'Obamacare' will likely allow people to remember him for that, no matter how shallow their grasp of American history will be in 100 years.
