Who knows what the corporations are thinking? I'm sure they'd rather he DIDN'T make these movies, if nothing else.

Americans being chumps - hm, I'm not American and although I've had a lot of fun pouring scorn on Americans who ARE chumps on other message boards it would be rude of me to make that generalisation, although I won't deny *you* that observation.

You know, it MIGHT be the end of teabaggers anyway, whether Mike Moore makes his movies or not. Most people think they're just laughable. Even the ones carrying guns are really just funny. What, they're going to shoot someone? No. They're not. If they did it would be a total catastrophe for their movement - it would END their movement straight away.

I don't really know that Michael Moore knows what to expect from his projects and you;re right that some of his pitch is possibly hyperbole, but salesman do hyperbole, it's mostly what works. You're right, he is selling something, but given that what he's selling is a message about the dangers of buying and selling, I think the intensity of whatever hypocrisy can be read into that is outweighed by whatever education of the populace ensues.

I disagree with what I perceived to be implied in your post (apologies if it wasn't your intention) that he has no principles at all. That I don't believe.
