This is guys is brillant at bagging his own people.


He's full of facts to me.

I would like to know how much of the money he makes from his 'world changing' documentaries is actually placed into worthy causes as oppose to food consumption..

Just like everyone else, he is not a 100% without bias. He spins stuff to get his own point, which is exactly what the Right Wingers do, so I guess it's sort of fair.

If you take him and Ann Coulter and look somewhere in the middle, you've got the truth there.

He uses facts selectively.

He's getting charged for doing a documentary on cubas health care and training. (They provide free training to people of poor training and ask only that they treat the people of their country in return.) It's apparently pretty good, well anyways since in the U.S.A (Land of the brave/free) It's illegal to go to cuba. so he might be charged because of that.

All his good work are undone by being such a nasty fat and obese person:apig:. he is more of a sicko than his own documentary.

Moore lashes PM

May 22, 2007

Michael Moore has never been a big fan of John Howard, and the controversial US filmmaker has again lashed out at the Australian prime minister over his support for the US in Iraq.

Moore is at the Cannes film festival in France promoting a new movie attacking the US health system, but says Iraq remains a top priority for the American people ahead of the next US election.

He lashed out at US allies in Iraq, telling reporters: "There wouldn't have been a war if the likes of Tony Blair, John Howard and whoever the guy was in Spain at the time had not endorsed Bush.

"That allowed Bush to be go back to the American people and say he was doing the right thing.

"If Howard and the others hadn't supported him he wouldn't have been able to proceed.

"Why didn't you guys stop him?"

Moore also took aim at Howard in 2004 when releasing his war-on-terror documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, calling for "regime change" in Australia.

Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Cannes festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or.

Moore's new film, Sicko, is screening out of competition at Cannes, where it has been rapturously received.

Sicko features testimonies from Americans who have suffered at the hands of insurance companies and drug firms, and the film has created a firestorm in the US.

Moore is under investigation over scenes in which he takes sick rescuers from the September 11, 2001, terror attacks to Cuba for treatment.

By doing so he may have broken the US trade and travel embargo on Cuba.

"I know the storm awaits me back in the United States," said Moore, after the film's first Cannes screening.

On the advice of lawyers, the filmmakers spirited a master copy of Sicko outside the US in case the government tried to seize it.

As for whether the investigation could prevent the film opening in the US as planned on June 29, Moore said: "We haven't even discussed that possibility."

Moore said he knew Sicko would have enemies, especially within the Bush administration and the health insurers he accuses of abandoning sick Americans.

Ironically, given its stormy reception, Moore says he wanted Sicko to be a quieter and more reflective movie than the rabble-rousing Bowling For Columbine or Fahrenheit 9/11.

There are no scenes of confrontation to match Moore's pigeonholing of politicians in Fahrenheit 9/11.

Instead, there are ordinary Americans telling heart-wrenching stories of being refused vital treatment.

Moore also travels to Canada, Britain and France to look at their systems of socialised medicine.

"I decided to make a different film this time," Moore said.

"I wanted a different tone and I wanted to say things in a different way. I got tired of all the yelling and screaming and not getting anywhere."

The film's climax is a sequence in which Moore and New York rescue workers visit a Cuban hospital.

"The Cuba stuff is incendiary," said Boston Globe critic Peter Brunette, who predicted a savage response from some quarters in the US.

Moore says the criticism of the Cuba trip is misplaced. He said he intended to take the workers to Guantanamo Bay, the US naval base on the island where terror suspects are held and, the film claims, receive top-notch medical care.

"The point was not to go to Cuba but to go to America, to go to American soil ... being in Cuba was just an accident in a sense."

"(It) could just as easily have been in Australia or Philippines on the way to US bases there."

If he hates America so much, then he can just geeeeeeeeet out.
Bush is such an easy target now that Moore's movies are just pointless. We get it, he's a bad president.
Like someone else said, he is pretty selective with what he shows in his movies

fatlol

 

[Visigoth]

No matter what you think of him, you can't deny that Moore is a fat tub of shit. So the real question is, does this fatty tell the real truth or not?

 

[withoutaface]

Moore's full of facts to me too, (but also fat of course). tbh u ppl's obsession with fatness is annoying as well as hilarious - I see it in real life as well as on the net. It's like being fat is the worst crime in society these days. Smoking is just as a gross addiction if not a more unnatural gross one, so why don't you make fun of, be disgusted by and humiliate smokers? Now I will wait for the inevitable attacks that I must be fat. goi.
Concentrate on more onMoore's politics. Moore's docos are pretty good in my opinion but a few like farenheit 9/11 lack one continual theme which dilutes his message. I like the cartoon in Bowling for Columbine. There's some good youtube clips of him - like blasting cnn and accepting his oscar award. They're funny.
