Michael Moore loses it and attacks CNN

[Lemur]

You hate most Americans then. Bill is a bit rightwing but hes far from some right wing nut job. I would imagine he pretty much represents whats the opinion of most Americans on this matter. We dont want it thank you very much.

Gawain, if I ever catch you using the words "Bill O'Reilly," "represent" and "America" in the same sentence again, I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap.

Bill O'Reilly represents the vast Right Wing audience that watches Bill O'Reilly.

Ever hear his position on the war?

I'd definitely classify O'Reilly as more of a right of center populist. He calls himself a "traditionalist" which I suppose fits ok.

Regardless, he's no conservative. How can you tell? Because whenever he highlights a problem, he more often than not looks to the government and lawmakers to provide a fix via new legislation/regulation. Not a conservative trait.

He does have a huge audience, but I don't have much use for him.

I haven't watched the clips and I don't care. I can guess what's happening. A debate about a different health care system in the U.S. is being killed by corporate media.

It's the same with Al Gore's views. The guy is ridiculed so the subject doesn't have to be discussed. Audiences fall for this every time. Good night.

I like my nanny state.

Also Adrian, this reminds me of Dr. Rath, here's a promo video if you don't know him. Claims that we could cure cancer but the pharmaceutical companies keep people sick to earn more money, sounds somewhat similar to Michael Moore in some respects. Of course he is taken apart in the media and after a boy who he claimed to have healed died, there was more controvercy. I personally don't know who's right, I'm no expert on that topic, like usual, they both seem to have good points.

Anyone taking a shot at Wolf "I just read wut dey put in front of me" Blitzer, gets thumbs-up from me, even hysterical docu-dramatists.

And it's pretty funny seeing Fox showing CNN clips. Massive media conspiracy indeed.

Moore and Gore only have themselves to blame. When reality of the situation isn't sexy enough or scary enough they simply resort to distortion, exaggeration and outright lies. I don't think either of them are interested in a dialogue- they're trying to force everyone to their position with intimidation and scare tactics.

You might be surprised then. In the CNN clip, it's nothing but Moore blathering on with disjointed points in inane babble- generally sounding like the lunatic he is.

I can't be bothered to familiarize myself with the subject of the discussion, but I'll do you a favor and tell you whats really going on anyway.

[Gregoshi]

Moore, Gore, O'Reilly, Rush, etc are messengers bigger than the message, which is a shame when they have a worthwhile message. Their snotty, know-it-all and condesending personalities overshadow and destroy the validity of the message.

No, I made an educated guess. So far nothing has belied my guess. It's all about that horrible slob with the five o 'clock shade and his antagonists Mr B. and Mr O', not about the subject of his movie (which I have seen).
So there, you young whippersnapper.

Which "conservatives" are we talking about here? 'Cause the ones I know all love their big-government debt machine, just so long as they're in charge. Reagan? Big government spending. Bush I? Big government spending. Bush II? Biggest government spending of all time.

Who are these "conservatives" you speak of, and where do we find them?

Reagan? Big government spending.

Brought on by the democratic congress. in order to fund his military projects he had to agree to huge pork barrel projects. And still managed to bring the economy back.
