Michael Moore: How Do We Thank Him
How do we thank this hero? I believe his books and movies and tours have been some of the most important contributions to turning this thing around. I know he has made money but he has gone beyond anything I have ever seen to wake up this country, especially the kids. I think we owe him bigtime.

2. Oh how about we forget his supporting that twit Nader in 2000 and doing
propaganda back then for the Repukes.

3. 100 Copies of Fahrenheit 9-11 at Blockbuster
I was surprised to see that my local Blockbuster had about 100 copies of Fahrenheit 9-11. (On a Saturday afternoon, about half were rented).

4. Unlike bush, Michael Moore has recognized his mistake and had made....
every effort to address that! I think he is a TRUE American hero for what he has done and is doing, his support of Nader was a BIG mistake and he is the first one to admit it which makes him head and shoulders above bush who can't admit he EVER makes a "misunderestimation" of anything.

5. We all have moments of madness.....but he sure has made up for
it and is helping to get our country back...I'm sure he was sorry for the Nader thing, just didn't realize how bad this would be.

9. Not A Yellow Dog
I think that makes him even more believable and effective. He has atoned and probably convinced more Greens and slackers of the absolute necessary of voting Democratic than any us yellow dogs ever could. I think he has shown that politics is real and pertinent and undid the blight of "there is no difference" and "It just doesn't matter" apathy.

21. oh, come on, he wasn't a prophet and could see the future
he's more than redeemed himself. Many others haven't.

8. Well, he has made plenty of money since Bush took over...
with his books, movies, and speaking...not to mention he is more popular than ever, so I think that is enough. I am willing to bet very few people have made out better financially under Bush than Moore.

22. yeah, well good for him ...
it's nice to see a non Repug making some money on honesty. And I believe he really does care about our soldiers and the poor in this country that this white house would like to ignore and most of us are too busy to think about.

10. How 'bout this idea....... send him an email of thanks from time to time..
He has plenty of money and doesn't need to be sent flowers or gifts, as seems to be the "thing" here at DU.

How 'bout working your tail off for the Party, and doing it with MM in mind? I think that's what he really wants.

If you hear about someone in trouble who needs help, do it with MM in mind, or even in his name.

How 'bout taking up an issue after the election, and working it hard, and letting MM know he inspired you. I think that would mean more to him than just about anything.

What he needs to know is that we appreciate him, think about him, and will do some heavy work to reclaim our party and our country.

14. Feed HIm?
Dude looks like he needs to join the Atkins Clinic. I love his movies but he needs to show less of himself.

Shake his hand, smile at him, and say thank you.

He seemed very happy when I did just that.

19. I am reading his latest book...
"Will they ever trust us again?" It is a compilation of letters and e-mails he received from soldiers. Extremely compelling and heart wrenching stuff.

Thanks Michael...

20. He's our Gandhi, and Jon Stewart is this generation's Dylan.
That's how high up I rank these heroes.

23. give him a cabinet post
If John Kerry wins next week, it will be due in no small part to Moore's efforts.

25. I agree with him on many things
But it makes me cringe when I see him talking about Kerry. Every candidate he has ever endorsed has lost.
