michael moore is nothing more than an extreme leftist commie pinko that excels at making propaganda movies.

even with the troubles the healthcare system has, where would anyone rather be than america when they have a true health problem?

i apologize if i offend anyone, but I cant stand that guy

Er, Michael Moore's not that extreme. I'd be willing to do a comparison between him and the other pundits you can think of. People who put Moore as the left equivalent of Ann Coulter are tripping. Michael Moore is basically the left wing equivalent of Glenn Beck. "Bush sucks," "American culture romanticizes violence and we should have some gun control," and "universal health care is good" are not fringe extremist ideas. Moore does misrepresent several facts and makes trumped up conspiracy theories to make his case, but who doesn't? Moore's degree of bias is pretty standard among pundits. The two times I think Moore really stepped out of line were using that kid to boycott Wal-Mart in Bowling for Columbine and the claim in Faranheit 9/11 where he said something to the effect of Iraq having never taken one American life.


Moore is a pundit, therefore he makes biased argumenents. But let's not pretend that he's much worse than all the other pundits out there. He's not calling for anything like genocide or a massive restriction of civil liberties.

I am an American who has lived in several parts of the world, including Europe and South America, and I think Moore is an American hero.

Many Americans, like some on this forum, are in denial about the state of our country. They've been so brainwashed into thinking we are the greatest country on the face of this earth, that there is no room for improvement or criticism.

They are so backwards in their thinking that they denounce anybody who doesn't think like them as "pinkos" or "commies", as if we were still living in Joseph McCarthy's 1950s.

These are people who will wave the American flag as our president is pissing on the U.S. Constitution. Who are more apt to vote on American Idol than the Presidential Election. Who will fight for the freedoms of their corporate slave masters as they drown in debt in desperately trying to keep up appearances.

They are the few. The proud. The 30 percenters who still support Bush because "he sticks to what he believes in" -- regardless of reality.

They are our sheep.

It must work on all those illegal immigrants trying to come here as well. We are so good at brainwashing our own citizens, we can actually extend it to other countries as well.

Funny, I don't think its the conservatives who call Bush Hitler...

Its not the right wing that wants to shut down talk radio because the left can't hang. Its so funny you liberals talk about rights and free speech...as long as its speech you agree with. If not, you want it regulated. Hypocrites.

That was 85% of the public in 2002. Pissing on the Constitution? Yeah, he's restricted so many things in my life. I can't do nearly as much as I did back in 2000. Its so oppressive in this country...

What a joke.

Yeah, thank God we don't have the greater sex and drug related freedom of places in Europe or the real democracy of Latin America where you can be elected to a high office without tons of corporate sponsors helping you along.

Because we're the only country in the world with immigrants. And "greatest" is subjective. The US is the richest, most powerful country in the world. It does not have the highest standard of living, life expectancy, or degree of civil liberties.

Indeed, it was the right wing that protested the show Politcally Incorrect because it expressed views they disagreed with, and DID get it shut down for pointing out the obvious. And it's the nationalistic media that distorts the words of anyone who points out some of the less-than-noble aspects of US foreign policy.


Both the left and the right do this. It's annoying that people have party loyalties that make them ignore the fact that both sides do the same thing and are devoted more to expanding their power and wealth than helping the citizens. National loyalty can blind someone's world view enough as it is without party loyalty.

Maybe you have not been affected personally by the roll back on privacy, due process of law, etc. but other people have been. Some have been tortured in internment camps without charges just for suspicion of treason, eventually being let out because there was no proof.


But for the most part, yeah the US is pretty free on the world scale. Not as free as most of Europe, but it's a great place to live and it's easier to make money here than in many other countries. It's what the US leaders do to the rest of the world that is oppressive.

Mainly because he didn't BS about the state of the economy and he had conservative foreign policy which stressed diplomatic solutions over killing thousands of civilians. Actually I don't see how liberal Carter even was. He was in fact the president who made it standard to mix politics and religion.

Both his deficit and his international body count were markedly lower than Reagan's, however. It's funny how the evil liberal media pretty much gave Reagan a free pass after his assassination attempt. Lying about selling weapons to Iran and using the money to fund terrorists was given less attention than Clinton lying about his sex life or Bush Sr. lying about taxes.

While according to people like you, American leaders are always noble and heroic in their foreign policy unlike leaders everywhere else in the world, they never put power interests over the lives of civilians, it's evil to criticize America but hating France is okay, we'd care just as much about Iraq if its main source of income was exporting coconuts instead of oil, and everyone in the world who thinks otherwise is just jealous of America.

Yeah, their taxation and economic policy is going to bankrupt the continent. Real smart over there.

Latin America's track record is something to celebrate

Really? What "right wing" shut down politically incorrect? They must have "The Daily Show" and "Countdown" targeted now. They also must have NBC, CBS and ABC targeted as well. I can't wait to shut them all down...

Thats stating the obvious but I also study the world view and most of the time they criticize us while their own country is in shambles....or their irrelevant.

Every government in the world does this and their isn't a government in the world, except the US, that has passed legslation stating that parts of the Geneva Convention apply to non citizens. France, England, Germany or any Middle Eastern have nothing even close.

Really? England, France and most of western Europe tax more than the US. THey have more video and surveillance cameras in public spots wathcing you than the US by far. Their surveillance of the general public is MUCH more than US ever will. England and France both have legislation that gives the government the right to video and listen to you conversations for the protection of the people.....and its been in play for a long time.

"Public Video Surveillance in Other Countries

Canada began operating CCTV video surveillance on public streets and areas 5 years ago. Although its use is not as widespread as in the United Kingdom, CCTV surveill
