Love or hate Moore, you have to admit that at the very least, he motivates people politically. Just look at the latest topics in this forum.

Personally, I'm finished talking about him. Most of us agree that the guy's a doushe so let's move on to someone/something relevant.
Yeah, truthfully I'm on massive fan of Michael Moore. He doesn't exactly advance the discourse. I admit, I find some of his stuff interesting (mostly funny). I also think that peoples beef with Michael Moore is displaced.

With liberals I always argue about how I dislike him.

My problems with Conservatives taking a dump on him is that it's so far hypocritical that it's laughable. Look at your own side. There's more of them and they've been doing it at least twice as long. I guess the reason we are NOT looking at them is that A) you would have to admit certain things you would like to ignore B) they are not in the spotlight like Michael Moore is, which is probably a testament to his abilities more than anything else.

It's also nice how Conservatives ignore Michael Moore's style. He generally takes something, makes a statement out of it, and blows it out of context. So what do Conservatives do? They take a small piece of what he is saying, ignore the statement, and blow it out of context. Are you fucking blind or stupid?
