Micheal Moore

Even though he is a disgusting, slimey, lying, immature and babyish slob, he still has a right to make whatever tripe films he wants, he is totally free to engage in whatever propaganda he wishes. Notice that no conservatives or right wingers are trying to censor or silence him, just because they disagree with him? Look at the stark contrast of how lefties try to silence talk radio that disagrees with them, such as the new "Fairness Doctrine". I only watch Micheal Moore's movies when they are free, so I have not given him any profit. I am glad that one of the Canadians in his movie is speaking out about how misleading his movie is. The Republican candidates need to watch his movie before they start picking it apart intellectually, they actually NEED to spend the 4 bucks to watch it, so they can counterargue it with credence. When MM was interviewed on CNN and asked "How can healthcare in the UK be free? when it is paid for by taxes?". He simply had no answer and then sounded off about Iraq.

Someone else should challenge him about that too, there is no massive influx of oil into the US from Iraq and all of the contracts so far for development have gone to non-US companies. When he said "There is no terror threat" in 2004, was he referring to Madrid, London, Bali, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Southern Thailand, Phillipines, the liquid explosives airplane plot, the 8 doctors in the UK who tried to come to the USA, the plot to assassinate the CANADIAN PM, the plot to blow up downtown TORONTO, the plot to blow up barracks in New Jersey, the enclosed compounds of Islamic training camps that have sprung up in upstate New York. Or perhaps he was referring to the 5 radical muslims in miami, the Iranian student who ran over his fellow classmates in the US, the repeated calls for a jihad against the West from mosques inside Europe and the US and the many many more foiled plots as well as successful ones arond the world.

My main poblem with Fahrenheit 911, was that he proposed no solution to dealing with the terrorists or state sponsors of terrorism directed at the US and allies. His solution to everything is simply to Canadianize and Europeanize the USA and everything will be great, as a former European I can tell him that people from all over the world want to come here more than anywhere else for a good reason. I do agree that healthcare needs an overhaul, but simply copying government systems that are providing overall lower quality, bigger waiting lists, lower access is not the solution. Fidel Castro did not use Cuban doctors when he got sick. The conjoined twins are not separated in Cuba, but across the sea in Miami.

He is free to do this and he actually does maybe do some good, by at least highlighting the need for reform and getting a lively debate going with his extreme wacked out views.
