All he is, is a harmless man who is just out there seeking the truth and looking for answers while being concerned, honest, and sincere.
Moore comes across as a guy who is really concerned. Especially about those who don't have much of a voice and wants to see a better, a more fair and just society for all.
What is wrong with that?
Is it because that goes against the Repub. agenda, which puts profits before people and just doesn't care about anyone, why he gets so much wrath?
Why is he hated as if he was Hitler? What has he done that was so wrong and gets all this hatred? -

and is hypocritical when it comes to bashing capitalism.
How is he hypocritical about capitalism?
B/c he's good at his job? Should he get worse at his job to make you feel better?
Repubs care by trying to help others help themselves
Neither party cares about people. But you keep telling yourself that your side gives a crap about you if that helps you sleep easier at night. -

How is he hypocritical about capitalism?
Lets start with the fact that he claims to hate capitalism and wants to convert the US into a socialist country. He says that people have made too much money at a certain point. Well Mr. Moore's net worth is now $50 million and climbing and he lives in a lakeside mansion in Michigan. You Michael Moore fans are so dumb. -

In Manhattan there are protesters out daily preaching to kill all non-Muslims and those Muslims who do not believe in their terrorist cause. Sadly, trump was right. Many Muslims did celebrate 9-11 as I saw first hand near where I grew up. They were in the area right across the Queens Border running along Hillside Ave. to be exact. Some years after 9-11 while in Manhattan, I watched Michael Moore at a rally preaching all the lies like those of "Loose Change" that Popular Mechanics disproved. A few victim families were visiting Ground Zero. Walking together were a family that lost their young daughter in 2 World Trade, and the family of a man on flight 93 were visiting the site. They were in shock by his rhetoric. The mother of the flight 93 hero hysterically shouted who she was and to please show respect. Michael Moore went on a rant saying that her son was not aboard flight 93 and the proof was in the fact he used his first and last name when calling his mother from the plane. He (Moore) went on to further call the families (WTC, Flight 93, and Pentagon Victim's Families) co-conspirators. At this point most of his audience left him. So, if you know anyone who died that day as I knew many, their families are a "Conspirators" according to Michael Moore's words. Line him up next to Kanye West & his wife, ISAL, and NK's leaders for the line5b4 to hell.

The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.
You morons have been conned by this con man. You have made this man very rich by letting him convince you that capitalism doesn't work. -

It really is his physical appearance. If he was a hot chick saying this stuff all the mouth-breathers would adore "her" and defend her to the death.
But "we" don't like fat people telling us we suck.
Look at all the gorgeous women on Fox "news". They say things that are untrue all the time and we love them for it b/c we want to nail them.
Most of what I said was tongue in cheek, however, psychological studies have shown that we are more open to the viewpoints of attractive people. This is nothing new and will probably never stop happening. Michael Moore has two strikes against him before he even opens his mouth b/c he's unappealing to look at.
If he lies so much why isn't he getting sued more? (that is a honest question and I'd sure love an honest answer with minimal name-calling). -

If you read about or watch the film about 9/11 that was a direct response to his work, you'll discover his manipulation of the subjects and, to be honest, flagrant twisting of the facts and presentation thereof.
Michael Moore is in the business of creating emotional outlets for the liberal or anti-right social circles. Social circles that think there's a corporate private interest behind everything. That's Michael Moore's audience. -

Can you provide any examples of where he manipulated the subjects and twisted the facts?
Did he twist any of these facts?
The Bin Laden family really did have free passage to leave without being questioned.
The Bush family really does have strong ties to the Carlyle group and is friends with Saudi Arabia which really does have public executions.
Our shores were not being well guarded against terrorist attacks at that time. I don't know what5b4 its like now.
Damn, I'm good. -

It's all in the film, and all of the people who Michael Moore interviewed are also in this film, and responded word for word, tit for tat, of what was said and manipulated by mister Moore.
Your formulation of what you believe is a cause-effect relationship of events, demonstrates that you actually do not have good critical thinking skills.
Go look up anyone whom Michael Moore interviewed, and find out what OTHER film they were in, then go watch it.
Prediction; you are so convinced of some covert, clandestine, or otherwise manipulative conspiracy, that you'll even reject the responses that these people give in FRESH interviews CRITICIZING Moore for his exceptionally poor film making style, that you simply will not believe it.
But, who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.
Go now. Your destiny awaits.
