Isn't it time to just say thank you Michael Moore? A simple thanks?

I fear we ask too much of him, and he is just a guy from Flint who now lives in northwest lower Michigan, and when he loses that, he loses us. I spent time with him; Genesee County Bar Association, waiting for the New York film critics reviews by fax for "Roger and Me" in 1989. He was hyper. I would be too. But thanks, Michael. You have taken the weight of the world on your shoulders.

and a man who tells the truth. Besides that,he's helped so many folks-the 911 heroes, the guy who got his pancreas transplant, and the folks just recently who had their house saved because of Moore's efforts.

Thank you, Michael Moore!

He loves this country, and he uses his talents to support the people of the nation he loves. And he is just a regular guy. Very regular. No, I don't want Michael Moore performing brain surgery; no, I don't want to read his poetry. His poetry exists as a counterweight to all the privilege and ignorance George Bush stands for. Thank you, Michael. He grew up in Flint at about the same time I grew up on the east side of Detroit (just months apart; I am older. Damn.). He knows it all, and remembers it all.

imagination and ability that is maybe a little under-appreciated. The research alone in all of his endeavors boggles my mind at least. Thank you Michael Moore, truly a genius patriot. A nation will thank you eventually, the way they should.

A very kind gesture, and much appreciated.

He has done so much to bring information to the masses that they can't get from our famed MSM here.

So yes, thank you, Michael, for all that you have done, and all that you will do in the future. :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Thank you Michael Moore for this movie, for the laughs and the tears and
your role in trying to make the United States a country that will care
for the least among us.

It's going to be a long hard fight.

I saw Sicko and I'm spreading the word.

Thank you!

After Bush began dismantling the vestiges of American democracy after 9-11, I had thought Oliver Stone might have put out someting, but when he finally did, it was an apolitical piece on firefighters in the rubble. What a disappointment from the director of JFK.

Moore has done more than just about anyone to bring attention to the plight of working people, the corruption of the present administration, and now, the healthcare gouging mafia. He is one of the greatest Americans, IMO.

And he was talking about runaway corporatism before it was fashionable, and loudly anti-Iraq War when most other public figures were too afraid to say anything. And with "SiCKO," he's leading yet again, and hopefully the rest of us will follow.
:applause:

Thank you for just being you and showing that big heart.

... and drop Moore like a bad habit.

You're the Upton Sinclair and Jacob Riis of the twenty-first century. May you continue to discomfit the rich and powerful.

It's unconscionable that this country allows people to die from lack of medical care. Fighting for single-payer, universal healthcare is the most pro-life thing anyone can do.

Honestly, that was so strange -- I even emailed him (I don't know him) after the show and told him we were all applauding in the cheap balcony seats, and when we looked down, the audience was either standing and applauding or sitting, not boooing, where did the boos COME from?

It was like someone was piping them in from off stage....it seemd very phony.

I emailed him that was my impression and he was like, "you're right, it was weird, I have no idea where the boos were coming from!"

This was when the War Fever propaganda campaining was so amped up...

THANKS FOR TAKING SO MUCH SHIT MICHAEL! Including from "progressives." I love and appreciate him and his work!

And now you've gone on record calling for new investigations of 9/11
and questioning why 100 videos that should show the plane hitting the
Pentagon have not been released. You didn't have to take that risk
when you were in the middle of the SiCKO release, but you did!

Thank you!

You've stood up to Power.

And you called the crazy monkey "Gov. Bush" to his face.

Not many other people have that kind of courage.

Your films are pretty good, too.

he has just one more documentary left to do - expose the TV evangelists for what they truly are: bigoted, greedy, workers for Satan, etc. Please, Mike.

You said,

I spent time with him; Genesee County Bar Association, waiting for the New York film critics reviews by fax for "Roger and Me" in 1989.

Why was Moore at a bar association? I can understand him not owning a fax machine - they were a big pretentious thing for business executives who were too stupid to write e-mails, and normal people don't own them. But was the Bar Association the only place that had a fax machine? Didn't he have, like, a friend in business who had a fax he could borrow? Didn't they have public fax machines at Kinko's that he could use? (Or possibly, was he so broke after making the film he couldn't afford to use them?) Couldn't somebody at the AFL/CIO hall "sneak" a fax out of the offices for him?

I think Moore is a great guy, but it seems pretty desperate that he'd have to descend to dealing with lawyers. Although it could be worse. He might have had to get his fax at the behest of an insurance salesman or a guy in a used car lot.

:shrug:

He is a good guy, a common Joe. Whenever a good person gets near a lawyer they rarely escape with their wallets or their freedom. They remove your prosthetic limbs if you don't keep an eye on them.

I could understand if he was depending on getting a fax at a Kinko's, a friend's house, even a combination whorehouse/crack house...but a LAWYER HANGOUT?

damn!

If he'd hung around long the lawyers enough he would've lost too much blood to live.

I just think it frightening that a man of goodwill like Moore would find it necessary to rely upon...I can't believe I'm saying this...the <i>charity</i> of lawyers.
