Well John Stossel is kind of Moore-like. He doesn't have the same hype machine though.

I think that's a far more astute and accurate comparasion than Rush Limbaugh.

See GePap? That's how it's done!

agreed...

except Stossel has some really weird ideas about how good things were pre-New Deal.

Spencer,

What earmarks are those? I would like to know so that I can identify closet communists.

Closet commies are not easy to identify since they are often confused as far-left liberals. In Moores case, the attempt to portray himself as a 'working man' in speech, dress, and attitudes when clearly he is not one, suggests he's a CC. The content of his movies confirms it.

Moore has only enjoyed success in the past 2 years or so... if you don't think he's a working man, you are sorely mistaken. You should learn more about where he grew up and his life before Bowling for Columbine.

good point JohnT... commies aren't usually profitable.

Are you telling me you dont know of any rich commies? I think JohnT understood my implication that closet commies are not so idealistic as to forgo their earnings (when they have any).

well not much of what you are saying is making sense... I would liken your views on Moore to the O"reilly disucssion of who is "unpatriotic". Your weak attempt at an ad hominem against Moore only goes to show you are incapable of debating his opinions and talking points.

Perhaps you should see the movie and then try to argue his points, rather than whether or not he's a "closet commie".

I was wondering, does anyone else envision Ignatius Reilly as basically Micheal Moore?

Yes, but Limbaugh is a much more fun comparison and not that far off either. I consider Stossel and Limbaugh to be somewhat similar, just with different mediums.

And Moore has some really wierd ideas about how bad things are now .

You mean socialist, not communist. And as a socialist he would be bound to pay his fair share of taxes to redistribute the wealth. As long as he has paid his taxes, then he has fulfilled his societal contract. The rest he can keep and be able to sleep at night.

The left wing has nothing against profit in simple concept. The left wing does have a problem with those pursue the all-mighty dollar at the expense of middle-class/poor or the environment.

Actually, you used the phrase incorrectly. To be "closeted" you have to be something that you refuse to allow the outside world to know... i.e., married gay males who pretend to be fully heterosexual are "in the closet". The more accurate description is that Moore is a closet capitalist.

I know. Can you imagine the whining and gnashing of teeth on this board if a documentary supporting Dubya actually went into wide release? It'd tear the OT apart. Apart, I tells ya!!!

What about the movie "DC: Time of Crisis"? Did it tear this board apart?

for a lot of people... they are

[JohnT]

You're comparing a quickie made-for-TV knockoff, starring such major B and Z-List talent as Timothy Bottoms, Roger Barnes, and Geoffrey Bowes to a major motion picture?

actually... I'd like to see such a movie.

That way I can show the righties how to debunk things. That way they can possibly learn how to debate Moore's points rather than just call him names.
