I have verified, first-hand evidence that you need to use SpellCheck.

Making fun of someone for making typos is just as bad as making fun of someone for being fat.

Roger & Me: NOT CRAP
Bowling for Columbine: TOTAL CRAP
So I guess as far as his films go, it's a draw (those are the only ones I've seen). He makes good, entertaining propaganda for lefties who don't like to be bothered by facts, history, and logic. Stick it to the Man, Michael!
As far as his politics/personality go, I know someone who worked for him, and I've heard many stories involving MM being a total jerk. He's a typical limousine liberal, fighting for the 'working man' when the cameras are on, and a wealthy, bitchy diva behind the scenes.
Overall rating: CRAP!!!!!!

my boss met him at a function last year. he came off like a jerk. so much so he offended many "greenies" within earshot of the conversation. the details are boring, but suffice to say he's the type of person who weasels his way into and out of things and is chiefly concerned with his own self agenda. watch any interview he gives and count the number of time he places accolades on himself.

That's pretty much what I got from reading "Stupid White Men":
"I'm so great cause I got elected to the school board when I was still in high school!"
and the rest was just blantantly defaming GWB, saying how he's illiterate and how he stole the presidency.
I hate that fucker.

i see. i have spent a time with him as well but i cant agree with what has been posted here. i can see why somebody would call him a limousine liberal, considering the fact he is loaded but i found him to be a very warm and polite man and no cameras were rolling. just my experience, thought id toss it in.

and I'm sure haters and lovers alike can imagine just how much fucking sleep Michael Moore is losing over his potential alienation of, ahem, "greenies".

alright canadian bacon, crap...the fact that he wont just get a ghost writer to help him structure his books a little more thoughtfully, slightly crap. but i dare you to actually dig up legit dirt on the guy, besides "he's fat". i mean i enjoyed the rush limbaugh fat jokes as much as the next guy but i never let it predicate the fact that he was first and foremost pure black hearted evil.
its no wonder the left cant get its shit together. we would rather bicker with and tear down any torchbearer if we don't agree with everything they have to say or their tactics rather than ever admit we would compromise. now the right wing! those bastards have there their shit together tight. they look beyond the petty differences to rally together and fulfill as much of there insipid agenda as possible. meanwhile we idealise and argue about what really is the political equivalent to wearing white after labor day. sometimes, we deserve what ever we get.
Well spoken John.
Michael Moore has, because of his populist appeal become a moving target for the left and the right these days.
If you're waiting for a somebody to come along and say everything that you feel yourself you are wasting your time. Won't happen.
I find him entertaining and thought provoking since he speaks about things I am greatly interested in. Is his word gospel? certainly not. Does he make the occaisonal misstep. Sure.
Am I really glad he's out there doing what he's doing?
Fuck yes.
