Michael Moore takes careful aim to attack the fabric of our capitalistic society, to undermine what we believe in. He uses blatantly false and heavily biased tricks and lies to fool people. He knows Hollywood and the news media will support his biased "mock-u-mentaries" because his message is consistent with the liberal media's preferences.
e.g. "SICKO" His diatribe about health care did not focus on the number one problem in health care- trial lawyers. Health providers have mercenaries trying to collect "lottery" level awards to exploit anything they can prove is a mistake. Trial lawyers fill our courts with frivolous law suits. Hospitals, doctors, nursing homes are terrorized by trial lawyers, forcing many out of business and having to move. How in heck can you complain about the health care crisis and support trial lawyers who are terrorists without weapons.
Is it a surprise Michael Moore gave trial lawyers a pass, in "Sicko", focusing on socialist and communist ideals?

Michael Moore is anti-establishment. He doesn't have a view, so much as he wishes to cause trouble for others.
Case in point: His house near Flint Michigan was painted a patchwork of colors. Not in an attractive "I'm an artist" way, but just because it would annoy his neighbors. Seriously - he made his house hideous because it would annoy the people next door.
That's why he made his first film - just to annoy GM. They were laying off people because business was down, and he was demanding that they do more for their workers - there are union employees who have been reporting to a lunch room for 2 decades at full pay - and he thinks they're mistreated!!!

Lawyers are not the problem, the LIE that you and Republicans like you have learned to use this argument because it deflects criticism from the real culprits the Insurance industry itself.
Are you really that blind, how could anyone believe that a "for profit" health care system is humane?
The United States is the only industrialized nation with no universal health care system. 46 million Americans are uninsured and the WHO recently rated the US healthcare system as number 37 in the world. Chomsky cited numerous opinion polls, including those conducted by NBC-Wall Street Journal and the Pew Research Center. Each poll reflected that over 60% of Americans wanted a universal health care system. Yet the privatized system is too great a benefit to the "substantial people". It is politically "untouchable". A nation as wealthy as the United States that does not provide basic healthcare to all of its people is a failed state.
Deceitful manipulation of public opinion for political gain is a specialty of US government elites. As Congress was cutting $20 billion from the Medicaid program, Tom Delay led the charge (made possible by corporate media) to give Terri Schiavo the "chance we all deserve". Where is the duplicity, you ask? Terri Schiavo was a Medicaid patient.

No, but I think your real agenda is to deflect attention away from what he is actually saying in his films by: attacking him personally, denigrating his motives and wandering off into diatribes filled with misinformation and scary, boogeyman words such as “socialist” and “communist.”
Lawsuits are not the leading factor in health care costs. The Congressional Budget Office, and other studies, have found no evidence that restrictions on tort liability reduce medical spending. They found no statistically significant difference in per capita health care spending between states with and without limits on malpractice torts.
Stop the scare tactics and focus on the health care issue honestly.

Michael Moore's real agenda is lining his own pockets with other people's money. And I have to say, he's done a pretty darn good job of it.

No, his agenda is to bring a bit of compassion and fairness to the USA where despite great wealth, income inequality is massive. Being centre-left in one's political and economic leanings does not automatically mean one is a communist you George W "I'll get rich off my defence contractor shares" Bush wannabe.

The Democratic party is plenty from Socialist or Communist. in fact it somewhat is a ideal wing conservative party, basically rather much less strident and extra open than the Republican party.

Micheal Moore's objective is to make second rate films that cost very little to make, and put them out in theaters so that like minded people can pay him millions of dollars to make said second rate films.
To give him credit, I wish I could make tons of money by insulting people that I didn't like to begin with.

You'll find that the ones with the hidden agenda are on YOUR side buddy.
