It's not really surprising when you think about it. People dislike Moore not because he lies, but because he attacks the foundations of their belief system, and does so very effectively. He's threatening, and the easiest way to neutralize him is with ridicule and insult.
That so many people are obsessed with demonizing him is actually a pretty good testimony to how persuasive and effective he is.
Disclaimer: I have never seen a Moore film or read any of his books. Anybody who generates this much debate and controversy though, I think is very good for political discourse.
