What's Michael Moore Been Up To?

Seems like he's been waaaay too quiet.

Documentary about the health care industry. Can't wait!

I thought I heard he was filming in Ohio and Florida?? But an expose on the "health care" industry would indeed be very interesting!

a sequel to F 9/11.

He hasn't done enough for the party since the election.

You realize that he's a private citizen and can do whatever he wants. He doesn't work for the Democratic Party.

not to mention, before shrub, he has been very critical of the demoratic party. He is not the democratic do-boy repukes think he is. He is against all corruption and unfairness to the working class, regardless of politcal orientation. I'm quite confident he is doing much more than you to further some worthwhile cause (directed at the 'hasn't done enough' poster). What exactly have you been doing that is 'enough' since the election?

He's never said he was a democrat. I'm sure he'd go after them if he saw need fit. He's for the little guy.

I don't know what his political affiliation is, but I know he didn't vote for Gore in 2000 and I don't think he voted for Clinton in 96 or 92. He did vote for Kerry but he seemed less than thrilled about that, he was more ABB than anything else.

though he was dilligently supportive of the Democratic effort to unseat Bush. His history with the Green party, and the reasons why he voted Green in presidential elections up until 2000 are detailed in both "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?"

resides and votes on the west side of Manhattan.

though I am sure he admires the Green Party (as do so many of us!) for their strength and determination in spearheading the OH recount.

May he have something good for release in the summer 2008.

After seeing Michael Moore in Santa Cruz, Fall '03 when he whole-heartedly endorsed him, I read up on General Clark, joined the S.C. for Clark Meetup Group and have been actively involved ever since. Was registered Green before the primaries when I had to register Dem to vote for Clark. Don't know about Moore's political affiliation but I imagine if he was voting for Clark in the primaries he'd have been a Dem then?

I think vpigrad is mocking other posters who have made similar statements about Howard Dean, Kerry, or other Democratic leaders on the issue du jour.

Dean is the head of the Democratic party and Kerry is an elected Democratic Senator. They get paid to stand up to the Republican party.

What have you done for the party lately?

just a little fyi.

While "Sicko" is coming to life, "Fahrenheit" hasn't been laid to rest. Beginning on Inauguration Day, Moore will be documenting the activities of the Bush administration for "Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2."

He's a filmmaker. That's what he does.

that's good news. Should be enough material to work with.

If the Press did their job and were not always covering bush's ass. We wouldn't even need these movies.

look up michael moore at imdb and check out the message boards at the bottom. they're pretty hilarious/retarded.

The republicans FEAR Michael Moore and will do ANYTHING to marginalize him including spreading LIES through their slime machine.
Lies like: "Some people are saying that MM has hurt the democratic Party...
or (as you repeated the anonymous anecdotal story) I heard some "fencesitters" yadda yadda yadda.

MM holds the distinction of being the ONLY Private Citizen to be attacked from the podium at a national party political convention (McCain). I don't believe that has occurred in the History of the US. (please correct me if you can find another occassion of a private citizen attacked from the podium)

Question for you MNAZ:
If MM was hurting the Democratic Party, why would the Republican party be working SO HARD to marginalize him???

This one is certainly a classic.

Even when Moore is not in the public eye, he's still feared by the Conservative Idiots.

I think you're a swollower.

MNAz is definately a swallower

He attends meetings here in my county and is close to the local Dem party in a neighboring county. His wife will soon be sec. of that county party. He has also stepped forward to pay for the first monthly billboard we are working on here (a series of 12 to come). He was at that billboard meeting a few weeks ago.

He's around here quite a lot and helping us northern MI Dems in big ways you'll all be happy to know. Good thing he is, our own state party can't find us on the map. If you don't have a million people they don't give a shit. I am grateful to Moore and some other big busks folks helping us. Oh and his wife, Kathleen Glynn, she has been very helpful to us. Personally gave me a check for a grand last fall to help us raise the dough for our year-round storefront office.

All very quietly, they are not show-boaty folks.

I'm working to bring together people down here in Rochester and Oxford.

Moore should probably revisit his movie "Bowling for Columbine". A large part of that movie delves into the fact that Canadians don't have the pyschopathic tendencies of American youth. Looks like that's not 100% correct.

America still has a big ass gun problem though (sheesh, even someone on a terrorist watch list can get one...)

Mike never made the claim that American youth have psychopatic tendencies. Nor did he ever claim that Canada had no psychopaths. He used Canada and other countries as a comparison to our out-of-whack gun violence incidences. Then he delved into the issues of WHY we have a greater propensity to use a gun to solve our problems. Ultimately, he leaned towards fear and poverty as having the most influence, not psycopaths.

a little hyperbole on my part. Thought it was obvious I didn't literally mean psychopaths.

If any single human being lost us the election, it was Michael Moore.

may have been more of a reason for us losing the election than Michael Moore. Kerry was our candidate after all

you may be right. Who really knows. Still, I personally know 5 centrist type liberals who told me that Moore so offended them because he seemed to hate America, that they actually voted for Bush or (in 2 cases) didn't vote at all, as a kind of weird Moore protest.

That because of people like Michael Moore many greens, and other liberals voted Dem. instead of voting green or not voting at all. I have a friend who was less than enthused about Kerry but voted for him because he hated Bush and maybe Michael Moore fueled some of that hatred.

But come on do you really think a filmmaker had more to do with us losing a Presidential Election than the candidate who lost

MM helped galvanize more to vote Dem than to vote Repub.

in order to shut him up. The right is going all out to marginalize Mike in an effort to shut down discourse of his populist message. I see it on board after board reaffirmed by so-called liberals. They make vague claims about Mike's ideas hurting the party but neglect to offer up specifics.

Fahrenheit 911. He called me up after renting the video and said "you know I just can't vote for Bush after seeing what he did in that film". It had a very powerful effect on him. Anyone with half a brain would not view that film as anti-American. Moore used Bush and other's own words and actions to make his point.

The "Fahrenheit 911 is anti-American" line is pure Republican hyperbole.

The ones who keep saying that are the republicans who don't even bother watching it first.

.....don't believe it when someone tells you they voted for bush because they hated michael moore. (think about what a stupid, insane reason that would be--that's like me saying i voted for kerry because i love ketchup and he's married to theresa)

my "friend"--single parent of three kids, two of them boys (but there won't be a draft in her opinion because bush said so), bankrupt, couldn't find a full time job as a teacher (now she's working two jobs and is making just above poverty level income), probably once was a real democrat (maybe)

but she's into that whole armageddon thing--the rapture crap and her "christianity" met bush's sudo "christianity" and she's got some kind of delusional "christian" cluster F**k going on with him and the gang.

and she'd spout her poisons and venom about michael moore to me--it was all bullshit--a big diversion from the fact that she was/is in desperate need of mental health and is suffering from delusions and refuses to admit it.

:shrug:

Moore woke a helluva lot of people up to the LIES that * & Co spews. The majority here on DU know this-you should too. :eyes:

Did anybody see his campus tour? He gave every student that said they would vote ramen noodles and underwear, lol.
