I think it is very sad that Michael Moore has become the spokesperson for the Left. His best-selling book is juvenile, amateurish and full of inaccuracies. Hell, even THE NATION trashed his book as a waste of paper. His work may be funny, but that's about it.
Al Franken is also funny, but he also happens to be very well educated--something that Moore is obviously not. (Even by his own admission.) We need Al Franken to be our best-selling political satire author, not this dupe Moore.
I don't discredit him for being a Green, or for backing Nader, though I wish he hadn't. I discredit him because most of his arguments are so superfulluous. The chapters in his book "Kill Whitey" and that chapter about how women should rule the world show his ignorance about a matter so simple as civil rights. He suggests that women are more capable to govern because they would NEVER start a WAR... how could women do something like THAT? Has he met Dianne Feinstein.
...If Moore has become the spokesperson for the left it is a bad day for all of us.
I'm hoping that his new documentary "Bowling for Columbine", which I have not yet seen, might redeem him somewhat. The previews look very good.
But if any of you have seen Moore on Crossfire or any other news show it is obvious that his lack of education and his poor grasp of domestic and international policy and economics do nothing more than help the cause of the right-wing.
...My message to Moore: SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE F UP! YOU ARE HURTING YOUR CAUSE MORE THAN YOU ARE HELPING IT!
