The difference between Michael Moore and Ann Coulter is that Moore are actually manifold. Coulter is a bit more attractive, Moore is quite a bit cleverer. Moore presents a worldview that some call propoganda and others believe to be valuable, Coulter simply makes unsupported statements which frequently do not appear to be consistent with logic or sanity. (ie "we should lead a crusade againg Islam")
Whether Moore may be a liar, or a propoganderist I dont think is the question in this thread.
But I feel I should repeat myself, if I can. Moore is most frequently criticised for Bowling for Columbine.
There is a difference, a moral and objective difference, between saying - America has 10,000 gun deaths a year and I think this is a problem
and Coulter saying
We should destroy Islam, because 20 Islamic terrorists have killed 3000 people in America
They are different statements, from different places, they should be treated differently. I am concerned about the world view of anyone who see's these statements as alike or comparable.
Moore MIGHT be a liar, or a vain self publicist, or a windbag... he is not calling for a mass genocide. There IS a difference
And I hope no one would accuse me of supporting someone like Michael Moore. He is radically and inreconcilably to the right of me, he is a supporter of a capitalism with a social conscience and thusly an enemy of the revolution and an enemy of all working class people in my opinion.
