My own thoughts are that he uses relatively primitive tactics to anger people to the point where they're ready to beat him to a pulp

Amazing how much stupidity this man can pack into one small paragraph. It is not so amazing that he has such a good business plan, the really amazing(and scary) thing is that so many ignorant people buy into his business plan.

Change the "He" to "She" and you got Anne Coulter.

He did write a book called 'Downsize this' which as partly about some corporations which 'extort' money from the american tax payer, amongst other things. You should read it - it's a good book although there is some repetition in that and 'Stupid White Men'.

I really don't think he's trying to promote a socialist culture. Just a more enlightened capitalist one. But you can read the books, watch the movies and make up your own mind on that one.

Odd, my neice says the same thing about Captain Kangaroo. When she grows up, she'll realize it's fiction.

He is NOT against guns. He owns several, and is a lifetime member of the NRA.

What he is against is how easy it is for guns to fall into the wrong hands, legally.

Quite right, my apologies.

I have no idea what MM wants for gun control only that he thinks the 20,000 laws that we currently have on the books are not enough. That alone is enough for me to be against him since I feel that we have too many laws.

I do not know if his security is armed... if they are not then they would be very ineffective against people who are gun rights types .... many of whom have concealed carry permits... the fact is that no gun rights advocate has ever attempted to shoot an anti gun nut that I know of so... lI do not think MM fears being shot by one at all.. For you to be afraid of gun rights advocates with no reason is the very defenition of paranoid.

when I see violence and mob and riot it is allways the liberals who are causing it... I have never seen a violent or friegtening protest by gun rights advocates.... A concealled carry person is the most likely person to help you in a violent confrontation....

MM knows that drugs are the real reason for most homicides of any kind in the U.S. but that would be an unpopular stance with the people that make him rich so he attacks K mart instead even tho he knows it is a BS, jesture aimed at the gullible and hysterical.

Oh... customers at "showtime U.S.A. video" of longmont Co. who rent "bowling for Columbine" will see a sticker inside the video that states....

"for a critical analysis of this documentary, please visit http://WWW.hardylaw/truth_about_bowling.html"

The reasons stated for putting the sticker inside the video were "MM's films should really be calle satires, a documentary has the instant credibility of being non fiction. It's not like we are trying to recruit people for the NRA. We're not political in any way. this is a measured response we took because we felt, by offering the movie for rental, we were de facto accomplices in Moores deception... we could have chosen not to carry the film, but we want our customers to be able to rent what they want"

I think the video store has the right idea.

maybe I was looking at it wrong but it seems that MM is saying that we should ban guns for black people and other minorities.

I think that these may give you a bit more perspective on what the Iraqis want. The range of opinions represented here is really pretty broad....check them out.

Your conviction that you know what the Iraqis want is....thought provoking.

MM is a pompous windbag. He's just milking credulous libs for their cash. He was out on the left coast recently, being driven around in a corporate limo, after having been flown in on the corporate jet..."Stupid White Men" notwithstanding.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Watch the news dude - the Italians got waxxed pretty bad last week by suicide bombers.

I'll take the US as world policemen any day over a bunch of Euro's with their fingers up their dates. Correction, sorry not Euro's, its only really France and Germany.
