#1 "I think he’s really cool. ’Bowling for Columbine’ is one of my favorite movies," said 10-year-old Alexa Springsteen.

Next Moore will be writing "Harry Potter and the White House Ghoul".

#2 I saw an interview w/him one time. He said some funny shit. Heck, I even agreed w/one or two things he spewed. However, for every one thing he says that makes sense, he babbles four or five half-truths to go w/it. He's perfect for a lot of the human cattle in this country and knows it. He appeals to the self-loathing LLL's running around feeling guilty about being born white and plays well on the fears of naive soccer moms about the 'nefarious NRA'. That's his scam (a pretty good one to) and I am sure he had no problem taking his tax cut this past year. Bottomline, a conniving charlatan finding his niche in the market. No different then a modern day PT Barnum as so aptly quoted above.

#3 I suspect that Michael Moore, being one of those "rich bastards", is really a CIA plant.

#4 Thousands? Well, the nutcases and fringies don't have any Dean rallies to go to anymore, got lots of free time now.

Oh and when pressed about facts in his 'documentaries', lardass falls back on the "I'm a satirist" line. And like any good socialist, he sends his kids to private school and laughs all the way to the bank with News Corp. checks.

#5 The roar of the adoring crowd was deafening....Bah..Bah..Bah...

#6 "I’m basically in love with him," she said.

Two words in response: "Ewwwww!" and "Yuck!"

#7 Michael Moore is a big fat ugly liar. After reading about that bold Marine, reading about Moore's keanulint-headed following is discouraging. With all due apologies for insulting the keanulints' intelligence.

#8 Hey, what about the Council of Elrond?

ELF HATERS! Free the Mordor 7!

#9 "Event organizers estimated about 4,300 people attended the event, with between 200 and 300 people turned away."

Definition of a targetrich-enviroment?

#10 "I’m basically in love with him," she said.

"Yes dear, there is such a thing as bad taste."

#11 I had no idea Karl Rove was this good.

#12 Perhaps Mr Moore should take his book tour over to Iraq...to our Gi's fighting for his fat worthless ass. Bring along some of his Hollywood cronies too. Hell even invite Jane Fonda. Of course she will head straight for the local Al Qaeda trench. I'm sure our GI's would just love to hear him bad mouth President Bush. And when ytour done Mike I know a few guys around here who would like you to bring your book tour to our neighborhood and the local VFW. You know why Nam vets were unhappy after they came back. It wasn't about fighting in NAM it was people like MR Moore who ever since have made it UnAmerican to be an American. He has no honor. God Bless President Bush.

#13 NEVER UNDERESTIMATE STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE NUMBERS!

#14 There will come a day when this fat lard ass's heart is going to take a nose dive and he will be found on the cold tiles of his bathroom floor in a pool of excrement clutching his chest. It will be a fitting end to a man who lies as easily as he breathes.

#15 The whole thesis of Bowling for Columbine was that the killers were driven/encouraged/persuaded/induced to kill by the militaristic, warmongering, gun-happy, kill-crazed, fascistic nature of American society--then (c. 1999) on display in the bombing of Kosovo.

So who does Michael Moore endorse for president? Denny Kucinich, man of peace? No!--he endorses the very militaristic, warmongering, kill-crazed fascist who directed the bombing of Kosovo: Gen. Wesley Clark--Enabler of Columbine!

Am I the only one who sees an inconsistency here?

#16 Ah Flint's own glorified underachiever strikes again. 4500 at MSU? They must have attached the words "free kegger" to the end of the flyer.

#17 Being from Bridgeport CT, the home of the P.T.Barnum Museum, I resent any comparison of MM to Barnum. Barnum was merely a liar, scallywag, fraud and shameless huckster. MM doesn't rise to that level. The only thing Barnumesque about Michael Moore is his resemblence to P.T's elephant "Jumbo."

#18 LOL Sgt.DT... I always advise anyone from Bridgeport to buy the commemorative half that features PTB on the obverse and a striking art deco eagle on reverse.... it was undervalued for years...

#19 The same type of people that spat on returning vets in the 60's and 70's attend speeches given by Michael Moore. Those same people will vote for the Democratic nominee in November, 2004. That's all you really need to know.

#20 I'm from Michigan and apologize for the existence of MM. Please find it in your hearts to forgive us Michiganders and please remember that we did give you Mo-town, Seger, Kid Rock, the Mustang, big-ass Chevy Trucks & Ted Nugent ;) (please also forget that bit about Madonna being from there)

#21 Brainiac, good point on the kegger line. MSU students prolly thought it was the name of a new Irish Pub. U of M would've been a different story - libz o'plenty in Hash Arbor.
