Way to go Jeremy. I don't think Michael Moore is a communist. However, he does represent the attitude of the extreme left in this country. He, like the left, are unhappy - even disturbed people - who have an agenda to run with. And if you don't agree, they're ready to start the verbal bashing, as with Fox News. Think of an angry pre-teenager. He doesn't know why he's angry. He just wants to teach everyone a lesson. And people who feel pride in who they are, and are content, make him even more angry. This is how I view Michael Moore. Thx for asking.

A Communist? Nah...a manipulator? Oh yeah. He likes to rearrange the "facts" in his works to convince people of his skewed vision of what's going on. Fox is not perfect and admittedly has a more conservative lean (which is why I prefer it), but they also provide more actual facts than the other news outlets (in my humble opinion). Mr. Moore does not seem to enjoy releasing facts that do not enhance his viewpoints. Check on the web for "fifty-nine deceits" from Fahrenheit 9/11. He edits things in certain ways to encourage people to come to his conclusions with minimal (or no) actual evidence.
We are so hung up on assigning blame for anything and everything that many of the actual problems never get solved because our society loses interest. People like Michael Moore are propagandists at best.

I don't think he's a communist. I think the guy is a movie maker and has some interesting points to be made. His rights are guaranteed in the constitution to say whatever he wants regarding whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't libel anyone. As far as Fox news is concerned, that was pretty funny.

He is not a communist, he is just a radical liberal. I am a liberal, but he's over the top. I understand what he is doing however. Like asking for a raise. If you want 5000, you ask for 10000. He's behaving over the edge to make a point.

No I think Michael is NOT a communist. He is a thinking man, probably a Democrat or maybe independent who is concerned about the way the US is going. His documentaries makes you think,unless you've been lulled senseless by the likes of Fox News and the Gop and the Bush adminstration.
He'd be considered a liberal or maybe a member of the ndp party in Canada.
And he's waaaay ahead of his time.

I think he is not a Communist, but an ultra-leftist.
I don't agree with his views, but I'll defend his right to express them.

Communist? No. Dufus sometimes? Yes - just like Ann Coulter. Do I agree with his views? Which ones?

Moore is a buffoon, who shows just how stupid some Americans can be. We might expect his kind of stupidity from Europe or mars or somewhere like that, but homegrown stupidity is the worst.
