Unbelievable---on AOL right now
So I just logged into AOL to check my email, and they had a picture of Michael Moore on one side, and Ann Coulter on the other, and it said:

True Believers
Or Showoffs?
They Thrive on Controversy
Rank Most Outrageous Pundits

I have a true problem with them putting Michael Moore's picture beside this type of headline.

Michael Moore is not a "showoff" or "outrageous pundit."

He simply made a movie that told the truth (imagine that).

And he doesn't go around making inflammatory statements just to sell a book.

2. First off, it's a poll, not a statement.
Second, you should do it and make sure to put Annthrax as MOST outrageous and Moore as least.

3. Moores Movie Facts
I agree Moore isn't outrageous, and certainly not as offensive as Colter. But Moore DOES bend many truths in his movies unfortunately. There is enough truth in there that I'm not too mad at him... but really, once I saw all the factual errors in "Bowling..." that just really hurt me, because I trusted his word, and always loved his work.

10. Because there is no real equivalent to Coulter on the left.
Moore is more equivalent to John Stossel than Coulter.

Maybe we should get a left-wing Coulter. What's good for the goose...
