    Title self-explanatory.

    This is what I think: Michael Moore Hates America - That's just the first clip from a series of 9 clips from the documentary, you can find the rest while on Youtube.

    I love the guy! I know I will cop it for saying so, but our opinion is that most Americans don't use their brains and analyse stuff that is going on in the world. This guy actually does. He rocks.

    Could do the world a favor by going on a diet. The food could feed an African village.

    As for scart3r comment that he loves the guy - He does certainly analyze things from a different point of view which can be helpful, however I don't think he is as ethical as he makes out.

    Yeah, I think what Michael says is interesting, and perhaps a little manufactured - but what about those videos, think that are equally biased.

    P.S. I am not a guy

    Bowling for Columbine was great...he is well intentioned but does more to damage his cause than help

    I find it humorous that some people never take the time to check out his "facts" and "research". Moore is a master at taking a fact and twisting it in a way to make it sound very negative and very different from the reality. It is always based on a political agenda, which is dubious at best.

    In order for a movie to be a legitimate documentary it has to be factual and objective. His movies do not satisfy either requirement. They therefore fall into the realm of pure political propaganda.

    BTW, it's nice to see GTech and AGS occassionally kiss and hug. But I suspect that will not last for more than 10 minutes. :D

    Bush is not the issue here. Michael Moore fabricates events that are believed by millions of people. His Fahrenheit 9/11 movie was loaded with fabrications and twisted viewpoints from top to bottom, yet a lot of people believe it is factual and "well researched".

    His interviews with the GIs near the end are pure fiction. All of those guys said they never met Michael Moore, yet the movie makes it looks like Moore is interviewing them (sounds a lot like his fabricated acquisition of a gun in Bowling for Columbine). There was even a law suit from one of the GIs. Iraq war vet sues Michael Moore, NBC. Guess who was also involved in the fabrication. None other than NBC.

    The entire movie is riddled with absurdities that most Bush haters don't question, such as the interview with the state trooper where Michael Moore makes it look like he is the only person patrolling the Oregon coast. In a rebuttal, the trooper said (quite factually) that he doesn't patrol the coat; he only patrols the coast highway.

    The list of journalistic attrocities committed by Moore are almost endless.
