Michael Moore is a pretty annoying person which I don’t think is lost on most people. Plus, he looks like a gigantic virgin.

My fiance, Sara, is really pissed of that Michael Moore is the defacto high profile voice for liberal causes. He is too divisive on almost everything he does. I think he latches onto the right subject matter, but his presentation of material has a lot of room for improvement.

Sara has always wanted Al Franken to be the guy that Liberals turn to for a major pop culture voice. He’s smart, funny, and most important, he’s relaxed. He doesn’t get too extreme while stressing the right points.

I’m not sure if he’s making a smart choice running for senate, that’s for the voters, but his books on Fox News are great, and he’s got a real sense of how to explain things.

I saw a documentary about political divisiveness in Utah, Michael Moore spoke at a conservative college, and the footage was mixed with footage of when Sean Hannity spoke at the same place, the two use a lot of fascist style speaking methods. Such as creating a universal faceless enemy (conservatives, liberals, ect…) they both called out specific people in the audience of the opposing party and made them look bad by catching them unprepared to speak in front of an arena audience.

It was sad to see, nothing was there that stimulated real debate, just a bunch of punditry shit. Fuck Michael Moore, fuck him up his dirty ass, but if his documentary is good, I’ll watch it.

Good post. I will say that, while his editing tactics are shady, Michael Moore tells no fairy tails about balance. I’ll say also that he did some good work with “The Awful Truth” even if he did keep with his habit of sensationalism. I like this one http://youtube.com/watch?v=IJwI66ifjPc

Michael Moore needs to do his own version of fast food nation, where he restricts his caloric intake to 1000 calories a day. That, I’ll watch. But seriously, to me Moore embodies the dotty self-important liberal who just whines and complains about everything. And he’s also fat, which compounds his negative qualities.

I don’t really understand why Penn and Teller have a TV show either. Don’t they do MAGIC TRICKS? How does that make them qualified to do a political show? Were Charlie Sheen and Rosie O’Donnell unavailable to spew their opinions??

I am also not a big fan of the show Bullshit. I’ve seen a few episodes and was not excited about the one-sided inflammatory shit that they ran. I really hate when the show lets Penn do a running voice over with snide comments on top of interviews. It’s a cowardly way to deliver an argument over an issue.

I saw Michael Moore’s TV show once, it was pretty interesting in that he’s incredibly sensationalistic, which I guess has it’s good points. That Penn and Teller show Bullshit is another show that likes to just show one side. I don’t think there is much in this world that is that simple.

That being said the buzz around Sicko is such that I think I would like to see it.
