Either he really beileves his own BS , or he's BS'ing the public on purpose to make a few bucks. Which one is it? I'm starting to wonder if he actually has a mental problem. Same with the people that believe his cr@p.

He is evil. He would sell his own mother for a few bucks. He would sell his own country and way of life for a few more bucks. Yes, he IS a liar.

He's a propagandist. However, I would note that his documentaries, whether you like them or not, could have a much greater impact if he wasn't such a partisan hack. By making one-sided documentaries and picking and choosing his facts, he alienates a huge part of the population. In the end, the large majority of people who go and see his movie is those that share his politics. Too bad, in each of his movies, he has some very valid points. Of course, the funny thing is that the liberals will say that the conservatives are "brainwashed" and programmed by the likes of O'Reilly, Hannity, etc... and vice-versa. Two sides of the same coin.

Michael Moore is a propagandist. Pure and simple. What he calls documentaries are propaganda films. No documentary can have an agenda behind it. Documentaries are unbiased and impartial, and thats not what he does.
He is a hypocrite, a manipulator and an overall professional bullsh*tter. He talks and talks about free speech and respecting other peoples opinions and such, but I watched a convention where he was invited to speak, and at the time of questions from the audience, someone asked him a tough question that caught him in his hypocrisy (I cant remember what the exact question was) and he shouted the person down and told them they hated America and didnt answer the question at all. At that moment I lost what little respect I had left for him.
The problem is that uses the label "liberal" to describe himself. So then whenever someone criticizes him, liberals feel the need to defend him because he pretends to agree with them. This needs to stop. We need to stop defending idiots who use the same political label as we do.
I'm one of the most liberal-minded people you will ever meet, but I refuse to defend idiots, liars and hypocrites like Michael Moore, Al Sharpton and Keith Olbermann. In my mind they are arrogant, self-righteous hypocrites. They should be allowed to speak freely, yes, but by no means does that mean I agree with them. And youd be surprised how many liberals agree with me on that when theyre not backed into a corner.

Wow! You obviously have as much objectivity as Michael Moore, which kind of puts you in the same bag of cr@p.
Moore plays "fast and loose with the truth", which is not one iota different than what the government does.
At least Moore leans toward the side of justice and truth; Bush, on the other hand, is the consummate liar, manipulator and mass murderer. -RKO- 05/12/07

I think ol' Mikey M is both and the people who buy into his particular brand of nonsense are, too.
As an aside, I think Algae the Green Guy used ol' Mikey M as a model when he dreamed up the whole Man is the Cause of Global Warming and If We Don't Do All Kinds of Crazy Things Real Soon Now It Will be the End of the World scheme.

Michael Moore is a smart man with a noble set of priorities, but a warped view of reality, and no qualms about playing fast and loose with the facts in order to advance his own ideology. In short, he's a political huckster. He knows exactly what he's doing.

My only comment is that it is possible to be a delusional liar.

Either you can't face the truth cos it's too hot to handle, which seems more probable, considering his movies are made on the general public's reactions, not his.
Or, he is delusional.

I thought the president said God told him to strike Iraq. I don't know, but hearing voices is just about as delusional as one can get!
