For an average joe, Michael Moore is extremely powerful. I admire the fact that when he comes out with a documentary on a social issue, whether you agree with him or not, the issue is instantly a top priority in the country.

Michael Moore can not be greater advantageous supported than he's now with the extreme left goofballs putting funds in his wallet for his faulty and distorted take on the international. attractiveness? He has already been acknowledged because of the fact the fool that he's. How approximately an clever question?

Most of the blind sheep who proudly wave the flag as if it's a excuse and justification for every wrong thing this government has done, and allowed to be done to the American people, despise him.
A great deal of the aforementioned "P.A.T.R.I.O.T.S." (People Attempting To Ruin Intrinsic Obligation To Solidarity) in this country, also seem to believe that by exposing untold truths and entertaining the possibility that the corporate/government structures are not working for the public's best interest, is the equivalent of terrorism (a word that is conveniently thrown around in this country like slop to pigs).
He has exposed a great deal of hypocrisy as well as aspects of corporate greed and the exploitation of the American workers, and people in general, in his films.
On the other hand, he has also shown that when the same tactics are used on him, as he uses on the people he "blindsides" with the camera, he is quick to avoid any on film discussion, or confrontations that he may not be prepared for.
In addition, he has also made overt accusations about the federal government's involvement in 911, that while believable and likely, in some cases, have not been adequately proved to be true. Of course a government or any large organization that has been lying to people for years, would be clearly experienced in covering their tracks.
Overall though, in my opinion, he is working for the people in exposing a great deal of injustice that a country that is so self righteous about its freedoms, liberties and obligations to "the people," seems to be be doing nothing about.

To the first guy, yes he does use propaganda
to the super ultra mega idiot who said he's a fat headed idiot, no he's not a fat headed idiot
yes, he does criticize globalization and President Bush and a whole lot of the American things. If you want to be bottle up and think that America is flawless, think again. Americans and America is great in many aspects but it does contain a lot of problems as well and Michael Moore has exposed a lot of the truth to people, I don't like his propaganda and some of his ways of showing them but I do like that he does show them to the public so that we don't become ignorant of the U.S. problems

He comes across as an average joe but he's brilliant. You have to go back to "Roger and Me", understand why he did it and where he came from. He tells the truth but some people don't want to hear the truth. It isn't just liberals who like him but anyone who thinks a bit deeper, who isn't always happy with being told what to think.
I really admire him. I'm 56 and retired federal employee, and served in the Army. "Sicko" has turned the establishment on its ear.

Du coté pragmatique, il est très doué. Il sait bien que beaucoup d'Américains aient appris à détester les USA et donc il les montre ce qu'elles veulent. C'est pour ça qu’il est devenu très riche. Cependant, soyons réalistes, si la plupart de ses fantasmes paranoïdes étaient vraie, il serait déjà emprisonné ou bien enterré.

Depends. Liberal Americans think he is funny, heroic, and intelligent. Conservatives think he is a liar, show-boat, and supporter of terrorism. Most Americans fall somewhere in the middle.

They (his books and movies) are good if you dont take them too seriously. His earlier films (Roger and Me, The Big One) were best. Fairenhight 9/11 is full of lies and hypocrasy however, which people buy into without exploring both sides of the issue.

People either think he's brilliant or an idiot. No in between.

I think anyone who bashes his country with practically every breath, yet enjoys the freedom from that country that allows him to do it, is an ungrateful fool. If he hates this country so much maybe he should find somewhere else to live.
