Default Michael Moore Documentary

Wonder how much press this will get. Maybe this guy's starting the journey to his own Oscar and Palm d'Or celebrations?

I can understand why people dislike Micheal Moore. He's a huge hypocrite. But there are thousands of people in show business just like Moore. And even worse. I've never seen a 'Charlton Heston hates America' website. At least Moore makes a valid point, sometimes. I'd rather have a loser like Moore who makes such a film, with valid points in between the unnecessary rants and flames, which reaches a huge part of the population than some obscure filmmaker making a documentary with the same valid points, but without fiction, and only 4 people watching it. At least he starts a public debate. People start to think.
Why do people hate Micheal Moore? Are they offended by criticism? Any criticism? Are they the same people who wanted to call French fries freedom fries, only because the French government had a different opinion? Or are they sensible people?

Can't speak for anyone else, but I dislike Moore because he swaddles lies in a cloak of truth. Most believe these lies precisely because he presents them as fact. Ironically, it's these same people who don't believe anything Bush says even though they both use the same tactics.

Looks like a typical Salieri complex

Huh? Because a guy wants to confront someone, on film, who has a hard time telling the truth, you think he's jealous?

Wouldn't that mean that Michael Moore also suffers from the little green monster?

How do you know that Moore has a hard time telling the truth?
