Just an excellent article. I love to see someone dish it out to Moore. Leave it to the Left to love a slob like him.

And Moore's lifestyle has been awfully lavish of late. One doesn't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it makes you think, doesn't it?

I believe Time Warner supports the morally and intellectually bankrupt nonentity Moore, another reason to abandon cable (if your provider is TW) and go DirecTV (which is now largely owned by the company that owns FOX!!!).

What a great idea! Now how can we spread the word that Moore is really in the pay of the RNC?? LOL

it's hard not to cheer when Moore embarrasses the Kmart chain into banning the sale of live ammunition to teenagers

Okay, trust me to pick out the one thing I disagreed with...but just you watch me so not cheer for this.

I love the idea that Moore is a willing tool working hand-in-hand with Bush and the republicans. That idea certainly would explain a lot! It would also help us understand how mentally and intellectually inferior the left-locksteppers are to such brilliant giants.

LOL! The best line in the whole thing.

"One doesn't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it makes you think, doesn't it? "

Is the author seriously implying that Moore(on) is a Republican stooge?

And another thing. Being called a "conspiracy theorist" these days is almost as bad as being called a bigot or a wife-beater. Lots of strange things were conspiracies before the truth got out. Agent Orange during the Vietnam War comes to mind. </rant.

Moore's new book, Dude, Where's My Country?, offers his most sophisticated critique to date of American foreign policy

Sophisticated and Moore = oxymoron

There's a curious passage in Stupid White Men in which Moore confesses that on the rare occasions he has met George W. or Jeb Bush, they have teased him in an almost affectionate fashion.

I noted the other day on a thread handwringing about "Bush" keeping protesters away, that it is the secret service keeping him safe, and I pointed out that while Clinton has a sulky attitude about them and would personally order some offenders to be harrassed by his detail, that President Bush in fact is not bothered one whit by dissent and welcomes it.

The above passage that even Moore confesses to confirms my observation. President Bush is a very good role model.

A thread on the original article from the Telegraph:
Only Stupid White Men Would Believe Michael Moore

Just as Bill Clinton was the greatest Republican President of the last half of the 20th century (responsible for the first Republican Congress and a majority of Republican governorships), Michael Moore contributed to the Republican party by putting W in office with his help for Nader. All Hail Moore! All Hail Moore! LOL!

Stupid White Men was the bestselling non-fiction hardback in Britain last year after the Atkins New Diet Revolution; it's now top of the paperback list. Bowling for Columbine, the feature-length documentary in which Moore blames a high school massacre on the Republicans, won an Oscar.

This seems to skip lightly over the fact that what Bowling for Columbine and Stupid White Men are both works of fiction, not documentary and nonfiction as they are erroneously labeled. Why, Mr. Moore, are you afraid to label your "work" accurately?

"The American right used to dismiss Moore's material as unfunny agit prop, unworthy of attention. That is not quite fair. Bowling for Columbine is a brilliantly constructed documentary; it's hard not to cheer when Moore embarrasses the Kmart chain into banning the sale of live ammunition to teenagers."

Road apples.

Disclaimer: I have not seen BFC. Only read about it. You'd probably have to pay me to sit through it.

Excellent post. Moore is yet another in a long line of people the leftists have, through their support, made wealthy. The funny thing is I always thought the left loathed wealth. According to their dogma, aren't we all supposed to be equal?

Call Moore what you will, but he's duped a bunch of the Leftists out of their money with his lies......again! Idiots.

Dude, Where's My Country? is Michael Moore's "most sophisticated critique to date of American foreign policy"?

Isn't that what you call "damning with faint praise"?
