presuambly, lebell, you find moore more indefensable than, say, limbaugh, ann coulter, sean hannity, george w bush, karl rove, rick santorum, on and on, a long list of obviously dimwitted spokesmodels who play fast and loose with facts at a level moore would never dream of?

by this point, these moore threads are beyond tiresome: i can see why conservatives would want to collapse and entire spectrum of political views etc. into the person of michael moore--but it is obvious in its tactical interest (destroy moore, destroy the position you pretend he stands for).

it is funny, however, to notice that the right, which defends its conception of individual prerogatives in ways that are almost---at times---maybe---in the same general area as something that would be internally consistent--- would expend so much energy trying to collapse roughly half the country into the person of a single film-maker.

it is also obvious that these endless attacks on michael moore are aimed primarily at conservatives themselves--maybe to help the process of sealing their ideological world off from "pollution" by other views, which often have the advantage over the right of being coherent.

maybe it is because they are about preaching to the choir that they have so little weight in the bigger world.
