We are going to have to nominate Moore for the Leni Riefansthal award. Propaganda hailed as art.

She was effective, and popular, too.

Moore isn't fit to shine Leni Riefansthal's jack boots.

I have to disagree on that. Triumph of the Will was a positive film that glorified the Nazis at their Nueremburg rallies--it was intended to lift up the spirits of the German people.

A vastly more correct comparison is the Nazi propaganda film Der ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew), a blatantly vile anti-Semitic film that used a lot of hot button images to get its point across (just like Moore did with Fahrenheit 9/11). Der ewige Jude was done under close supervision of the Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels and released in 1940 to justify the Nazi progrom against the Jews. In short, Moore's latest film is the 2004 equivalent of Der ewige Jude.

A Leni Riefansthal award? Does such a thing exist?

If it doesn't, it should and there should be a nice orchastrated ceremony to present it to him.
