We can all sit and speculate about the agenda of moore, but really, none of us knows. We can pretend we know based on hearsay but it doesn't really amount to anything. We have one camp whose perspective on moore is derived solely from people who don't agree with him because anyone who sympathises with him is obviously in some sort of ignorant haze. If you can't even begin to grasp anything valid about moore's filmography and motivations, other than a pithy remark here and there than you're not really trying.

I think a more relevant question here is what is wonderwench's agenda? If it is to bash moore based only on what you've heard about him from anywhere except the horse's mouth then i think the mission is accomplished.

It seems to me that a few people like to paint the picture of liberals/moore supporters as being naive, soft and unable to do what it takes to get the job done. I hope the folly of such generalizations is understood, especially when dealing with real people on an interpersonal level.

I think moore is a tool, but i also think that he raises many relevant and pertinent facts about the bush administration. Hear the facts as he presents them, then decide what you believe and what you don't. Then decide what you agree with and what you don't.

Moore is rich? So? Frankly, i don't see what the problem is. He's rich, so what? Tangentially, mel gibson is rich, and he exploited a story about one of the impoverished's most prominent supporters, namely jesus, to get even richer. I heard little about his greedy agenda during the onslaught of the christ.
