And that's exactly what I think Moore is trying to do.
But liberals have been wanting their own Rush Limbaugh and now they got him. Now both parties are fighting with the same weapons and who cares if the truth gets lost along the way.
What matters is which party is the best manipulator. And, at present, it seems that the Democrats have edge with Moore (cause they certainly aren't going to beat Druggie Limbaugh with that stupid ass Air America).
And please, no more comments on what a great filmmaker Moore is. Because he's not. Even back when I was a fan (as I once was), I didn't think he was a great filmmaker. But he was able to make great satires anyway.
Now with each new film he's just becoming more and more just an idiot with a camera crew.

i don't think it's ideal to fool the electorate either. he is indeed using a bit of the dark side's methods against them.
IFC is showing a lot of interviews with moore because they have a stake in the film. at his cannes acceptance speech, he mentioned the "art of film". kind of ridiculous...i don't see where the "art" really factors into his work.
his writing style is equally lacking. not that i'm a great writer, but i know crappy writing when i see it. he wrote the LA Times editorial last sunday. his heart could be in the right place, but the column utilized phony nostalgia and slight contradictions (first he chastises flag-wavers, then explains why he will hold up the flag).
but whatever...he only has a high school education so i shouldn't be too harsh

No point in me typing up a reply when it's all been said for me
