Why is Michael Moore a bad person? He just pointed out we have a broken helthcare system?

Question

I know he is overweight, but lets try to keep things on a higher level.

Golfer7: Thank you!

Answer 1

"Just pointed out" ?

Come on. You'll have to do better than that. The guy is a die-hard America-hating socialist. He spews one-sided, distorted, manipulated, cherry-picked information - and calls it fact. This he has done in not just Sicko, but F-911 and Bowling for Columbine. If he thinks Cuba is so great - where its illegal for someone to change jobs or houses, and you can't read a book unless the material in it is approved by the state - let him move there.

Heck, he couldn't even keep his self control when Blitzer had him on the Situation Room to ask him about the inconsistencies and lies in Sicko. He blew his top, ranted like a maniac - "let's get the war drums rolling" - accused Blitzer of being a corporate stooge and wouldn't stop plugging Iraq. EVERY FIVE SECONDS!

As if that weren't enough, he fired off a deliberate slur toward Sanjay Gupta. I don't think he's ever going to be invited on Wolf's show again.

Moore doesn't need to be overweight - God knows I've made enough fun of that - to dig himself a hole all the way to China through his words and actions.

Answer 2

Hes not bad, and most of us are overweight to some degree.
Its the fact we have a horrible health care delivery system. They buy into the idea that if you criticize some thing we have that means you are a communist or socialist, and guess who encourages that feeling?
The insurance companies work full time and donate to whomever so their cash cow won't go away, and the people are fed a line of bull so the don't demand something back for their taxes. They scare you with you health care decided by the government, but they don't tell you that they decide your health care now, and the less they give you, the better their bottom line and bonuses are, and some people swallow that.

Answer 3

The USA's Healthcare is NOT broken and he said
this in a communist country which is responsible for thousands of deaths. Cuba's health care system is not too good.

Answer 4

He pointed it out by trying to say that a country with a much worse health care system is better than here. No sane person would leave the U.S. for Cuba for health care. That makes him a liar and a traitor. Some might call that bad, I just call it idiotic.

Answer 5

I don't think he's a bad person. He's an entertainer..and if you take his films for what they are (entertainment), then theres nothing wrong with that. It's when you start believing the lies and deceit he presents as facts that you have to start questioning yourself..."Am I really this gullible?" It's the equivalent of watching a film starring Yosemite Sam and suddenly thinking that gun control may be needed.....

Answer 6

What makes him 'bad?' Corporate America doesn't like him because he sheds light on some highly questionable tactics and practices they employ.

Noone has said he's always right.

And way to offend every person who doesn't fit the Anticrombie and Filth model.

Answer 7

Our health care system is the best in the world. Its our coverage of the lower middle class that is not good.

Answer 8

Hey, you really have a knack for bringing out the ignorant right wing fanatics

Answer 9

Notice how many personal slams there are and how few valid points people are raising against him. They hate him because they're told to hate him by their screaming-head pundits. They don't know why, they just hate who and what they're told to hate.

Answer 10

He's bad because he's making money off all those 'smart' liberals by pointing out what is already obvious to the rest of the country.
