wonderwench---
i checked the grammar in the first sentence and changed a couple of words so it would be easier----thanks for pointing out that it was confusing.
fact is that it is only in the fantasy-world of conservatives that moore is "making an ass" of himself---rather he takes on the right in terms that are not theirs, makes arguments that run against their politics---and the people on the right are afraid of it.
of course, i do not think that the actually existing people on the right are afraid in a normal sense--rather their sources of infotainment on the order of limbaugh (but running across the gambit of mediocrities that operate as pundits in conservative-land) are worried, and they write columns about their worry, and naturally within a short time, their audience is also worried and they recycle the concerns issued by their pundits of choice pundits of choice, sometimes simply pasting them.
maybe, wonderwench, you should actually see the film.
and the initial post, which attempts to whine about moore's film being a success financially, is simple hypocrisy.
i hope that much was clear.
as for the arts funding linkage, it is an argument--i think the parallel interesting--but if you need me to simplify it for you, i'd be glad to.
