Dear Oxidant... You Are The Silliest Schmoe Yet

If you truly believe that this spiral of craptastic ecomony we are currently in is not Bush's fault, then you are truly deluded. Who got us into a war that cost us $3 trilion dollars? Bush! Who signed a bill to give CEOs major tax breaks? Bush! Now, the left is not perfect either, but the economy is 100% Bush's fault.

b-,b-, but, the free market! socialism = bad, unrestrained capitalism = good, greed is a virtue, b'lah, b'lah, b'lah.

As far as I'm concerned, the actual subjects of Moore's documentaries (aka CEOs) are a million times worse than he could ever be. I truly don't understand why people hate Michael Moore,

I think it has a lot to do with incessant Fox News/Talk Radio propaganda myself - what do you expect with the constant drumbeat of "so and so is an America hating commie who loves homosexuals and illegals & hates the troops! - oh and he's really fat too!"? *sigh

If you really think that our economy is in such bad shape all because of Bush then that is just ignorant. As for Michael Moore the most honest performance I have ever seen of his was in Team America.

Here comes the haters!

Seriously, do like most of you just watch Fox News and read drudgereport?

Sicko and Roger and Me were both excellent flicks. I look forward to Moore's next.

Wait . . .

Ender, you're comment makes another point no one else mentioned: most of the country does hate Wall Street and CEOs, so why watch this movie? What will Moore prove if he is just saying what everyone else is thinking? There is no controversy in that; no originality. So, your comment doesn't help Moore's cause: why should we want to see a movie that states what a public consensus. So we can all give ourselves a collective pat on the back? ("Wow, Moore is so right, isn't he?" "I totally agree .

("Wow, Moore is so right, isn't he?" "I totally agree . . .") There is no controversy in that.

Try this for controversy: for how greedy CEOs of companies are and how public this has become, there are plenty of CEOs who run businesses effectively. Also, simple logic: if you don't bail out or support the big businesses, the middle class will lose jobs. This may shock you, but not all CEOs are the same. Also, if you raise taxes on businesses, even the smaller ones will be affected. I don't agree with a lot of the CEOs public display, but not every rich person acts that way. If businesses collapse, jobs are loss. It's a chain reaction. Besides that, how would most of you act with a lot of money? I'd be willing to think you'd feel differently.

If he doesn't do anything in this movie to make fun of or slam the Obama administration, he's a complete fucking douchebag.

Im actually surprised by most peoples responses to Michael Moore, I thought the liberal media has brainwashed everyone to follow sleazy slobs like Michael Moore...I have to admit however, Bill Maher is ten times worst then Moore when it comes to being a left wing asshole

Isn't it odd that he's making a film in disgust of taking money from taxpayers to assist the banks and yet he's also made a film to support taking money from taxpayers to nationalize the American healthcare system which is going to cost waaaaaaaay more....?

Why is he trying to convert America into every other country in the world with his "mockumentaries"? I understand he is supposes himself to be well intentioned (hell I think the banks are full of crap too) but he goes about it in the

It was founded that way it should stay that way.

PS. I was raised in Canada and I'm still saying this.

jetsetter, Michael Moore twists and distorts the truth. Although he is not promoting someone like Hitler, what he does isn't all that different from the work of Leni Riefenstahl.

F#ck off Moore...

If he were truly sincere about being concerned for the financial well-being of the American public, he won't charge them a dime to see his new film.

Let's see if that happens.....f#cking doubtful.

I like Michael Moore, and his work aside from Farenheit 911, which was a fine concept but I just couldnt really get into it. Sicko and Bowling for Columbine were great. Obviously people are going to bash him and try to dispute...thats usually the reason people make documentaries. To cause controversy. He does a great job of that. Whether or not he is 100% accurate on all of his information, the point is that he brings these issues to attention. Ill definitely see this movie.

Bretchsky is right

Some of it can be chalked up to creative editing, but some of Moore's statements are outright lies. For example, in Roger & Me he flatout states that Roger Smith would not agree to meet with him. In reality he did, twice, and even let them record their conversations (a portion of the footage later appeared in the documentary Manufacturing Dissent). So yes, some of Moore's statements have been proven to be lies, that's just the most famous example.

i love me some Michael Moore... people will say his facts are wrong, but yet no one has ever been able to successfully refute anything he has ever put in his films! He does take some liberties with his editing, but at the end of the day, it is HIS flick, he can do what he wants, same way any film maker would. But his facts are all 100% on point, and thats not me just being a Moore fan, thats a... Fact! (Bush supporters will forever hate him, but its the nature of the beast)

i look forward to

So he's doing a new movie about banks I guess. That sucks, way too obvious and its never gonna be as engaging as Bolwing for... I think Moore should stop really.

Also, its really depressing to hear that some people were actually stupid enough to donate money, I guess all they need to hear is 'help our fellow Americans'. I love the States...but I'm glad I don't live there.

He did the same thing on his old TV show, TV Nation. He held a benefit concert for corporations and their CEO's called Corp-Aid and actually raised some money and tried to give it to a bunch of different companies. None of them would take it.
