What do Americans think of Michael Moore?!


Question: From the UK here, and I must say I'm a huge fan of Michael Moore from his days at TV Nation to his great film Sicko which I've just bought on DVD, and just wondering, how do the stereotypically right-wingers take Michael Moore? I know there's a great liberal following, but I just don't imagine him going down too well.

You can always take some idea of how he is felt about by the far right and what that really means by the way they react to him.

He is trying to say some "things", those things are usually said in a tongue in a cheek manner with an awful lot of humour in mind, whilst the reaction is usually bile-filled, uncommensurate and made to look ridiculous... he plucks the same strings as both Louis Theroux (watch him on the beeb tonight!) and even Borat.

Stereotypical right-wingers, which fortunately are not all Americans, hate him when all he is trying to do is say "THINK FOR YOURSELVES" and "STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES" - neither of which warrant the sort of reaction he gets. They think he is anti-patriotic, when if you actually listen to what he is saying, he is one of the most truly patriotic Americans that you will come across... his patriotism is for the American people and way of life, and not merely the actions that are often perpetrated in their name. It makes you wonder who the patriot actually is... I know who my money is on, who is it that helps the man on the street? the unrepresented? the poor and the sick? You don't see many of the right-wingers helping out in soup kitchens.

The right wing regard him at best as unpatriotic, and at worst as a traitor.

i would say most of us agree he is making a point and showing the truth but we'd like him to loose some weight and dress better

From democrat side he is a good guy, and from Republican side; especially among many utahns, a evil guy.
