Something I was thinking about last night...
Why is Michael Moore so disliked among liberals? At least he's trying to show people how * and his cronies used 9/11 solely to project their plan for the world; he's pretty much the only one with balls enough back then to say, "Hey, this president's using the WTC just to go after Saddam, who had nothing to do with 9/11. And he's even made it worse!"

This is why we have no power; we go after ourselves instead of the real problem in the US: the Right-Wing.

2. Wha..Who..Whe..
What liberals dislike Michael Moore? Did I miss something? I thought we went to see Fahrenheit 911 in droves.

Who doesn't like Michael Moore? I thought it was the conservatives who didn't like him.

When did you hear this? Is this something new? I must be really out of the loop.

Obviously, I like Michael Moore.

3. I like Moore
If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have opened my eyes about a lot of things going on in this country and might not be here.

4. Disliked?
The people - liberals in varying degrees of kneejerk - I know respect and admire and support Michael Moore.

Ratface and his band of illegal squatters in the White House - them, they dislike.

6. Where did you get that idea?
MM is terrific, and liberals I personally know agree with that opinion.

8. I have always loved MM.
He made me feel less alone before I found DU. I will always appreciate him for being out there and telling us that if we did not like what was going on we were in good company. Living in a red state can leave you kind of out there alone. Of course, since I found DU I have felt so much better!

Michael Moore, even if you do not agree with how he does things, does make some great points that get others to think.

10. It's only the idiots in the "New Media" who are saying that
They're trying to paint MM with the "everyone hates him" brush.
Please don't fall for it.
If you hear Drudge, CNN, MSNBC or one of the "big three" networks (Fox is a given) comment on "Michael Moore's universal unpopularity", don't believe it.

11. I've seen alot of posts blasting MM on here
not lately but after the election. I think he bacame a polarizing figure like Hillary and that worked agaisnt us in some ways. Got the RW fired up. I like MM. He believes in certain things and he tries to do something about it. Now that I can respect.

12. From where do you derive you assertion that he is so disliked by liberals?
*ahem*

The truth is right-wingers HATE him so much that they are perfectly prepared to LIE and say that he is so disliked by liberals. Hope you haven't had your ears tuned into any right-wingers lately.

16. I think you are thinking of the yahoos who believed the
right-wing hype that MM and Hollywood is what defeated Kerry...like the billboards thanking them...to me, that just meant they were really hurt and threatened by them or they would not have tried to vilify them like they did...I agree, it's too bad some left wing, progressive people bought into that too.

I repeat, Michael Moore and Hollywood must have been a threat to the right wing, if they spent the money and time to vilify them...and should be praised, helped and supported by us...
