To get mad at Michael Moore is to acknowledge his existence, something I desperately try to avoid.

I’d say not more than 5 minutes of my life has involved seeing or listening to Michael Moore. Never seen a movie, avoid all his interviews if I can.

You guys are a hoot. “Roger and Me” is great, great comedy. The sight of the addled Charlton Heston making some confused social commentary, the public joke who led the NRA, a great moment in film. Moore’s chase of Newt Gingrich and exposure of his congressional district’s record-setting sea of pork, a great moment in political theater. His use of off-the-shelf footage of GHW Bush fawning over the Saudi Royal Family, just priceless. If the only thing Moore ever did was expose the butt-buddy relationship between the Bushes and the Saudis, he’d get my Lifetime Achievement Award for that alone.

I heard him speak once, and had to get up and leave early. I think he’s kind of a buffoon… But I don’t hate him.
That does seem to be the main difference between Moore and his critics. Moore seems to say a lot of nasty things about many people. But he doesn’t exhibit the raw unfettered hatred of Republican representatives like NRO, Coulter, Limbaugh, etc.
Michael Moore’s own words? Take ’em or leave ’em. It’s what he gets other people to say (or how he makes them squirm in stuttering non-silence) that makes his films enjoyable. I wax gleeful watching him outsmart people. No amount of base vitriol can compare to watching someone insult themselves.
When he’s firing on all cylinders, Moore’s great. (The example which springs to mind is the bit from his TV show where the cheerful partying inhabitants of the “sodomymobile” systematically visit all the U.S. states where gay sex is still illegal..) But his “harrass the low-level gatekeeping peon” schtick gets old real fast.

I don’t see any “hate” or “serious dislike” on the Corner link given. Just because they would like to see ‘March of the Penguins’ dislodge ‘Bowling for columbine’ as a top grossing documentary? WhoopteeDoo. Boy that’s some serious ‘hate’ let me tell you

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It’s not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C’mon, they’re black! I mean, it’s not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days?

No?
No, Darrell. If Moore made a thousand movies, he could never catch up to the relentless tide of bile and hatred poured forth by the likes of Limbaugh and Coulter.
You’re just ridiculous tonight, Darrell. Don’t you have a game to watch?

Don’t be a hater.
