Major insult to grizzly bears. Moore is an oversized pile of excrement.

Gotta love it.
Moore is socialisms worse enemy.

His obvious 'big lie' about America will do far more harm to his cause than any petty political truths the film may expose.

Well at least he can enjoy giving a nice long acceptance speech to a receptive audience. Maybe his daughter will wear something 'see-thru' for our viewing pleasure. (I heard she just got her masters degree, but not sure about that.)

The left loves to give their important awards (the Nobel to Carter and Arafat, Cannes to MM) to try and show us how stupid we are.

They don't realize it works both ways. The more they award such tripe, we just start viewing these awards as meaningless.

To me, Cannes is a left wing fashion show. I wouldn't go see a single movie they praised.

And the Nobel peace prize is nothing to me. I'm no longer impressed by it. So award away. I'm sure the NY Times is thrilled.

Funny, I don't read that either, anymore. Didn't they win few pulitzers?

I hate to appear more stupid than normal but is that a posed pic of an incredibly obese humanoid or some kind of sculpture?

looks like someone you would find out behind a dumpster at Wal Mart foraging......I swear...around here....go to WallyWorld and over half the shoppers are clinically obese.

Shame we can't Haw Haw Moore...

I've read up on Joyce....seems he was an American....the Brits had to sort of use imaginative legalistics to hang him for treason.....not that I'm complaining.

First he wins an Oscar for best documentary for a fiction, now Cannes, for best new picture. Prediction: soon Hollywood will turn on this POS, it's now getting out of hand, they just have to respect themselves a little more than they hate Bush, it's coming.

Kim Jong Il and Fidel Castro are Communist dictators in foreign countries. American socialists are the shallow-minded, short-sighted, loud liberals who are trying to destroy the United States from within.

CNN showed a clip of the audience standing and applauding as the Leftist Liar, Moore, waddled to the stage...the high and mighty of the Hollywood Leftist Elite were all there...including Charlize Thieron...boo hoo!!!

Excerpt:

The simple truth about Michael Moore is that this self-righteous critic of corporate America is one of its most bloated beneficiaries. It is time someone made a film about him - and, we are pleased to report, someone is. Forget Fahrenheit 9/11: later this year, a young film-maker called Mike Wilson will unveil a documentary entitled Michael Moore Hates America, in which the self-proclaimed "slob in a baseball cap" will find his techniques turned on himself. Don't miss it.

Gotta love it. Moore is socialisms worse enemy.

I would say Moore is the corporate oligarchist's worst enemy.

Moore doesn't even register to big business, -- only big government counts to them. And they've got that under control in the USA. - They hope.

I don't think Kim Jong Ill or Fidel Castro are quaking in their boots at the revelatiaons in Moore's latest movie.

Nit picking. I should have said 'american socialisms'.

It's nice to see someone like Moore, a left-libertarian in a way

In what way? The man is a socialist dupe.

teaming up with someone like Alex Jones (right-libertarian) in agreement with peoplelike Ron Paul and Cynthia McKinney in asking the hard questions that this administration refuses to answer.

No one minds 'hard questions', which Moore mixes with hard lies.
His obvious 'big lie' about America will do far more harm to his cause than any petty political truths the film may expose.

This will be his greatest film so far, mark my words.

Great? How can agit-prop lies be "great"? I agree that it will be pandered as a big 'success'.
-- But I predict it may be a 'Triumph of the Will' for american socialists, in its ultimate effect.

'You can't fool all of the people, all of the time', is still a valid observation.

Anyhow, the movie might actually be well-done even if it is biased propaganda.

It isn't. Even mainstream liberal Hollywood dislikes it, it seems.

Hard questions the administration refuses to answer?
In a pig's ass.
Every point these twits fabricate gets answered and utterly trounced. Not by the administration, usually, since they are busy doing grown-up things and cannot spare the time to soothe the egos of overgrown brats.
But, answered and trounced these points are, by the true target of your breed: the common private citizen.
The hard part, the part which is impossible to accomplish, is making idiots like YOU pay attention to the answers.
With your alliance with and stranglehold on most forms of mass media, your breed have managed to effectively silence the voice of the common man. With your financial backers like Soros, the ChiComs, and the Saudis, you can outspend us in getting your word out.
But you have failed: the Internet is changing all that, as is talk radio.
But, of course, that has no effect on your ivory tower insulation.
You "true believers" are incapable of recognizing the lies and agenda of your overlords, and are in truth naught but Useful Idiots and cannonfodder.

Fortunately, this country does not yet belong to your ilk, and those of us who pay attention to these things will not quietly allow you to take what is ours by birthright and the works of our lives and those of our ancestors.

Some of us neither forget nor forgive his lies in Bowling for Columbine.
And, unlike Moore, we know which end of a gun is which.

This is a political film aimed at undermining a sitting president during an election cycle. Should not this film come under scrutiny of the federal election committee? Would not moore be in violation of campaign finance reform law? Should not this type of film making be affected by the campaign finance reform laws? So should this not be considered soft money?

It would be great irony and nice to see Fat Boy’s film shut down by his on party’s insistence on so called fairer and better elections campaign finance reform law. I would love to see the yahoos have to squirm under the light of the laws they have passed.

So far 75% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes like it...although I suspect they are motivated less by aesthetics and more by ideology.
