in his new movie sicko i think he forgot to mention that along with free health care there 600 thousand people in Cuba waiting for surgery and many will die before they get that surgery.
in Canada there are 800 thousand on the waiting list and again many will die before the surgery comes through.
this is also a problem in England and Australia.
Moore just Tell's one side of a story and that doesn't make for a documentary.
he just likes to bash the u.s.a
anytime he gets called on actual facts he RUNS yelling no comment.....

First of all, it's M-I-C-H-A-E-L M-O-O-R-E, not Micheal More. Second of all, Michael Moore does not hate America (you would know this if you actually watched one of his movies or maybe, God forbid, read one of his books). I have actually got the chance to sit down and talk to Michael when he came through Grass Valley promoting "Bowling For Columbine". He is just your average guy. If you do not believe that he should be able to voice his opinion (which is not "I Hate America") then obviously you are the one with the hatred for America. Our country was founded upon many freedoms and one of them was "Freedom of Speech". Another was "Freedom of Expression". Or how about "Freedom of Press". It makes me sad that someone can think that they are defending "The American Way" by critisizing a man for standing up for what he believes in. That actually makes you a fascist. Sorry if I used any words that were too big for you...

Only the overpaid Liberals of Hollywood could answer that question. I have no idea how someone can come here, get rich, and refuse to leave. The Baldwins are Canadians, they're rich, why won't he leave like they promised if Bush got reelected? Heck, I'll give them a ride North, just GO!

My only problem w/mm is that while everything he said in 9/11 was true, he is so biased in his presentation, that he loses his credibility. I would contend, however, that people who think, evaluate, and question the government are better americans than you. We defend our country and the principles it was founded on, not just follow the sheperd du jour

You are making assumptions. You assume that because Mr. Moore criticizes his country that he doesn't love it. I say, nothing could be further from the truth. It seems to me he criticizes it to make it better. I have never considered blind allegiance an admirable trait. I may not agree with everything he has to say, but I find he makes many valid points in his films.

Oh, I get it.
If we love something enough to try to make it better then that translates in to we must hate it.
I love my grandchildren. I send them to school. Is it because I hate them the way they are, NO. It is because I want them to be better than they are. The are cute smart individuals that could be better if I make sure they have an education. It does not mean that I hate them. It just means I am trying to make them better.

Because that is the BEAUTY of America...we can find fault in our government and not worry about being tortured or killed. I don't believe in everything he has to say, but I do believe he has a right to say it. I as a consumer also have a right not spend my money supporting it...Besides...we have three ply toliet paper...

It is simle minded to conclude that those who disagree with your political idea's hate America
If someone is not free to openly question the governments role in 9/11 or Iraq then what type of government would you have ?
Moore is attemping to point out a loss of freedom and suspicious actions on the part of the government -
If this is an offense to you - that he is allowed to exist - Then I suggest you read the Nurenburg trials and the German attitude of those who disented - There is much of your own view expressed there by high ranking Nazi officers

Because he needs America to protect his FAT A**
Any other country and he would be drawn and quartered.
It blows me away that he makes movies against the war
and the men/women that fight to protect his freedom to
make that movie, talk about being a hypocrite.

Michael Moore doesn't hate America - he's like the people
with intelligence - worried & concerned about the
country he loves.
