I LOOOOVE Michael Moore!!  He speaks exactly my language and says things that you don't hear everyday.  He says it like it is and we need more people like him on the media!!!  there are too many things to mention here that I liked but basically MM is an honest and smart guy and we need someone like him to run alongside Obama! ;o)

Yes I watched and I thought he was bang on. I especially agreed with his take on Rev Wright and that he could not morally endorse Hillary because she voted for the war and Obama did not.

I like Michael Moore! I met him at book signing a few years ago in Vancouver. He stayed until everyone had their books signed. Bookstore staff said he would only sign one item per person but he kindly signed both my books (I didn't ask him to) and he personally addressed one of them to me! He was very kind.

  • He spoke my mind on every topic that was asked of him. He is thinking the right way in my book. I wish I had met him too. AmyD

    I missed it. I love Michael Moore, but I don't like that he's such a radical at times. It takes away from his credibility so that people don't take him seriously enough.

    At the same time, though, we really DO need more people like him to try to change the times we're living in. Sometimes I think that you kind of HAVE to be as obnoxious as MM in order to get people to listen. Otherwise, people are just so damn complacent with the current administration and all of its injustices. If more people were like MM, we just might see some change!

    But I agree with the premise of most of the issues he speaks out about, although, he's is much further to the left than I am!

  • He was comparing France with the US on taxes and he is totally right but one thing I wanted to hear further is that yes in France the taxes, education, healthcare are provided in a much more efficient way than here but Europe is nontheless a VERY expensive continent to live in. So that breaks even with France's tax etc advantages. Life these days is for the rich only. Not the middle income people unfortunately. AmyD

    I got an email from MM 'cause I used to be on his mailing list (by choice of course, but I had it removed so he must have resurrected it) that he was going to be there w/Larry.

    I like Michael Moore when he is fighting for the welfare of the people, but he has gone into the political arena and, imo, he thinks that he's the Pied Piper.   I'm not a follower by nature and I disagreed with the emails that were sent to me....so I unsubscribed.

    Sorry for the long answer, but no I didn't although my sis, Mona, called me to tell me that he was appearing. 

    I watched American Idol.

    I think that would be the kiss of death to all hopes of the Dem's being in the White House next year.

    I think MM says things that need to be said but I don't always agree with all of it. But seldom do I agree with all things anyone says.
