This idiot will just continue to get more and more insane just to try to stay in the spotlight of those who are even more insane than he is because they believe the crap that spews out of his mouth.

Not sure if its true but I heard he made more off his last movie than Haliburton has made off the war. Again I heard thatnot sure if its even close.

NO its was about the person who this thread was about and his movie. In his first movie he talked about Haliburton's profits but he was the one raking in the money. Even people who he had in the movie have denounced what he implied that they said as being wrong. I'm all for someone speaking their mind but it would be nice if they stuck to the facts and not trumped up stuff.

this is sad to say, but i believe more of what comes out of Michael Moore's mouth then i do our president

[dmek25]

trumped up stuff? like wmd? and there is no way Moore made the amount of money on his movie, that haliburton has enjoyed during this no bid war.

So this was trumped up? Oh I guess every country on the UN security council as well as just about every expert in the filed was in on this charade then. Listen everyone....EVRYONE....thought they had WMDs. Dems, Reps, dogs, cats, mice... and guess what? They did. They didn't have the nuclear precursors like everyone thought but they have caches of mustard(ps?) gas as well as delivery systems. Oh but that doesn't get widespread media coverage does it.

it gets my gall that the main perpetrator basically got put on the back burner

I went to see this yesterday. You can't help but walk away feeling that our system needs some serious help. I know that nobody's system is perfect, and yes Moore is giving us a one sided view, but it still doesn't change my thinking that healthcare should not be handled by private industry. When companies are profiting from providing care for others, I think that's a seriously flawed system. Greed corrupts everything, and it's clearly corrupted our healthcare system.

actually this is the best of all of his films that i've seen, Fahrenheit and columbine. I went to it last weekend and it got a lot of applause at the end. Moore is a very talented film maker and most people leave with an outlook of change.

I am what you call a paleo conservative, but with this proto fascist thing we have going on between the Federal govt and big Pharm, you can't but help to agree somewhat with the left on the health care issue. With my company, the only health care plan offered that was any good was the one offered to single folks like me. The folks with kids were stuck with a substandard plan that would still stick it to them bigtime in terms of pay taken out of the weekely paychecks. When 70% more women in America are dying in childbirth than in Europe, something is not right when we have the supposedly #1 health care system in the world.

I don't get the point of this comment, cause our healthcare system requires immediate medical attention for those in immediate danger. So are you saying our doctors are inferior to the doctors in Europe?
What do you feel is the main reason that allegedly 70% more woman in America are dying in childbirth than in Europe?

Our healthcare failures can be summed up in two distinct categories: Accesibilty and affordability. We can argue the merits, or lack thereof, of whether the government should get involved in private industry until we're blue in the face. But to the previous gentleman's point, the reason 70% more women in America are dying in childbirth is because either than can't afford proper healthcare (in the preventative stage) or it's just not accesible.

Yes, it's that simple and ,yes, the government should step in and do something about it.

i love it how republicans spew the hatred towards Moore for making movies strictly for the money. but yet the oil companies gouge us everyday, and its their right to maintain as big of a profit as they seem.

Difference there is the government can't stop free enterprise. The government will never stop businesses from making a profit unless it's a monopoly, but since all the oil companies are together, that won't happen. You're asking the government to go against what the USA stands for. Not going to happen.
We don't like the fact that the oil companies are showing record profits anymore than you do, but there is only one way to stop it! Stop it at the source. The more of us that stop using the black crack, the easier it would be to create alternative fuels. Everyone bitches about the gas prices, well what are you doing to fix it? Not only are they showing record profit, but we're showing record demand for the stuff. It's supply and demand. I for one use my motorcycle more, I'm trying my part.

How is making a profitable film not free-enterprise? That's why I never understood the complaint that Michael Moore makes money off his films. If free enterprise is the most perfect system and a film maker is succesful within that system, what's the problem?
