There is a difference between sarcasm and insincerity. I am sarcastic, not insincere. Although I can be a master at both when I want to be. For example, "Lingo, you are really cool and really funny." |

To your 9-11 point, of course this movie seemed anti-GWB. It WAS anti-GWB. It was never advertised as anything else. Did you expect it to be pro-GWB?
Movies like Bowling, Roger & Me, Sicko, and The Big One are typically attacked for being anti-Republican. My point is that upon even a cursory viewing, it is plain that MM attacks both sides. These editorials are not the anti-conservative exposes they are made out to be. If you didnt like GWB criticism in 9-11, you may want to skip Captain Mike Across America, his newest one coming out later this year. Perhaps someone on the conservative right should make a pro GWB documentary to point out all the wonderful things he has accomplished while in office. It will be sort of a "Profiles in Courage" type piece, I am sure. |

Most people I know think MM is interesting, but nothing more. His personal agendas are plain to see and, ultimately, he is in the business of selling tickets to his movies. |

What part of 9-11 did you not like? When he was asking congressmen to send their kids to Iraq? Or when he documented how many days W was on vacation or at Crawford Ranch pulling weeds or driving his golf cart around? |

It's not that Moore doesn't have good points... he's just incapable of portraying these points without resorting to outright deception. EDIT: I think the main reason I dislike Moore is that I attended his speaking engagement at UVSC in 2004. I was expecting him to go over some points from Fahrenheit 9/11 or something, but that's not exactly what we got. First, he kept the crowd waiting 50 minutes past the originally scheduled start time because he had a press conference. When he finally did show up, all he did was bash Bush's stuttering (highly original), rip on Utah for ignoring the Bill of Rights, and praise UVSC's student government for being "courageous". No discussion of issues... he instead decided to pull the race card and insinuate that all Republicans are racist. Unimpressive. |

I can point you to places where you can read about people waiting in pain for a joint replacement because its considered "elective" surgery. Also there are new techniques and materials but they only pay for "your grandfather's" joint replacement, not the new materials (e.g. metal or ceramic vs plastic). Some of them have been going to India for it. This is not to say there aren't similar problems in America with insurance coverage issues of the same nature. |
