Time

Yesterday I purchased the new issue of Time magazine. The one with Michael Moore on the front.

The article isn't to bad, and to give credit where it is due they do mention the inconsitencies about the "facts" of this movie, but Mr. Moore's sense of entitlement is! He seems to think that the rest of us are stupid shmucks who just can't think for themselves without a little help from him! Still harping about Bush losing the election..........get over it already--you LOST! He tends to sound like the 4 yo olds out here on the playground--IT' NOT FAIR! Wah, wah, wah.

There is also some comparison made between his film and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.

The difference being that Mr. Gibson's film was made to honor his Lord and the suffering He went through during his final hours here on earth. Most of us "right wing, fundamentalist,Christians" can look past the things we disagree with in the film to the core of that effort.( By the way in the Time article Mr. Moore is quoted as saying"In this country 50% of the people go to church on a regular basis. And they went to that movie. My film has a much broader cross section of moviegoers--people from the general public." So now I am no longer part of the "General public?)
While Mr Moore's film(which I haven't seen and don't necessarily intend to) sets out to defame, degrade and dishonor our President. Apparently many of Hollywoods "elite" are enthralled with this film........big surprise.

He has also made many comments about our country to that effect (see some of CPT Patti's thoughts on this........as well as links. I havn't figured out how to make this work quite yet so here are some of them: http://www.lileks.com/bleats/archive/04/0704/070804.html
& one about his thoughts on America...... http://www.startribune.com/stories/1519/4851336.html)


If you choose to see the film take it with a grain of salt and do some research first, I for one refuse to be spoon fed by either party.

I agree 100% with your assessment of Michael Moore.
