Why?

The argument wasn't about right vs. left documentaries. The statement was made that Americans love Michael Moore.

The numbers prove otherwise.

Americans shun him...

No, Americans shun documentaries in general, but they shun his much less than they do any others.

Particularly right wing documentaries, which are so unpopular you can't even think of any.

Micheal Moore hasn't produced a Documentary since "Roger and Me".

Re: Michael Moore is a hypocrite or genius

He's both.

But I can save both brain cells and money by not buying anything he sells.

I didn't even try. It would have been pointless. Again, the comparison wasn't being made between left wing and right wing documentaries.

I was replying to the statement that Americans love Michael Moore. The performance of his movies was offered as an indication of that. Well, if that was true, the fact that his movies were so-called "documetaries" would've been transcended by Americas love for him.

But it wasn't.

His movies performed pitifully at the box office in comparison to movies that weren't Michael Moore movies.

And that's because Americans don't love Michael Moore.

It's rather clear that Americans love death merchants from the future and robots that turn into Camaros more than they love Michael Moore. Then again, most Americans probably prefer tapeworms to Michael Moore...

What makes me smile about Michael Moore is the way the left lap up everything he says. He's made millions out of duping idiotic liberals who, even though his claims have been proved to be total crap, continue to line his pockets.

Talk about a fool and his money soon being parted. Sums up liberals and Michael Moore pretty accurately.

He's the very proof that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. So either he is the text book example of a hypocrite or he's a brilliant capitalist making fools out of millions of liberals who are too fucking stupid to even realize they have been had.
Just wondering why you felt the need to start a thread about MM? Is he coming out with a movie or something? I haven't heard anything about him lately... but I also haven't been paying close attention to every little thing in the news.

I saw a commercial for it last night; not sure of the title.

They show a scene where Michael Moore is trying to make a citizens arrest of the Board of Directors of AIG.

Yeah, what a fountain of intelligence he is...

So you haven't seen anything he's done, but you consider yourself qualified to talk his latest film.

Why am I not surprised?

Yep the only people who love him are people just like him. America hating left wing fruite cakes who live in their moma's basement at 30 years old smoking pot and wasting air. With the exception of having no money or gainfull employment of course.

I'm pretty sure I've seen all of his movies.

They were all mildly entertaining, if only because it's fun to watch that fat piece of shit make a complete ass out of himself.

The only people who take Moore, or his movies, seriously are complete idiots...
