"Whatever your argument about his methodology, this is a man with a deep, abiding sympathy for the working man," he says.

So were Marx, Lenin, and Mao.

Waiiit a minuite....

How could I have possibly forgotten?(!)

That is always an integral part of tendentious, liberal, documentary film-making.

Errol Morris is the ne plus ultra of documentarians when it comes to this technique.

Though he prefers to rely mostly on very weird reenactments and subtly placed digs-through nifty camera work and lighting adjustments-at his chosen targets.

"Of course he's entitled to express his opinion --that's what this country is all about," says Burns, best known for epic documentaries The Civil War, Baseball and Jazz. "You're supposed to be able to stand up here and say, 'This guy is a schmuck.' "

So what's the controversy?
That's the problem with deviants, their brain is not wired for logical thought.

Moore is entitled to an endless train of inanities and distortions, but his critics have a limited, measured dose of criticisms that they may make? And the deviants get to decide what that limit is?

Give me a break!

Now there's a trifecta.

Burns concedes that Moore has an agenda, but so what? "Whatever your argument about his methodology, this is a man with a deep, abiding sympathy for the working man," he says.

Oh yeah? Then why doesn't Michael Moore actually live in the neighborhoods of the working man, like in one of the other boroughs, instead of living in Manhattan's Upper West Side. And libs like Burns accuse our side of being superficial and shallow, while all it takes to convince them that Moore is a working class hero is a big belly and a baseball cap.

Whatever your arguments about communism, this is a philosphopy with a deep abiding love for the working man.
