| i've only seen "bowling for columbine" by him, and i really liked it but it was incredibly biased. i supported what he was saying but he should have shown it in a fairer way, although i guess it was more of a movie

| i respect him for having good intensions, but i don't really see eye to eye with him on a few issues. and the cheap jab at the president on that award show wasn't respectable. his movies are good though. haven't read any of his books yet. i want to a micheal mooore vs. bill o'reilly debate.

| Michael Moore is great. I've read all his books with the exception of the new one which i am now reading. That wasnt a cheap jab at the president at all. Bush was elected ficticiously and he led us into a war that is absolutely ridiculous. 87 billion is only part of the cost; one of the democratic hopefuls said 40 billion would put every kid in america who wants to go to college, through it. Keep in mind that in other western democracies, college doesnt leave you with a 40 thousand dollar debt and no job because the economy is in the toilet.

| I hate Micheal Moore. I've seen a few of his movies, including Bowling for Columbine. From what I saw, most of what he does involves pulling pointless stunts, and presenting his extreme, narrow, ignorant, one sided ideas. Besides that, he has a habit of playing fast and loose with facts and twisting the truth. If he ever presents an opposing point of view, it's just a paper tiger. Besides being purposefully misleading, he is a hypocrite. His fans are just as bad, not only willing to eat his half baked ideas, but also criticizing the rest of America for accepting the government's half baked ideas. Moore's popularity is a true success of the lowest common denominator attitude, appealing the most to people unable to think for themselves, yet very able to criticize others for the same flaw. So there's my opinion of him. A blind man leading the blind in calling the blind blind. A publicity whore, and an extreme hypocrite. PS: I do agree with his general ideology, but most issues are alot more complicated than he pretends they are, making his extreme views appear ridiculous.
