The "1%" is a metaphoric term for those who fit the plutocratic mold... not to describe only wealthy people. Here is a shocker for you... there are a lot of wealthy people who are supporting the Occupy protests through dollars and physical presence. Michael Moore is only one of those.
The reason conservatives don't like Michael Moore is because he has become successful pointing out their bullshit.

Maybe it would be better if the unions controlled our government. Wait.. maybe it would be better if government controlled every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave. Wait, maybe it would be great if government and corporations merged, such as with the bailouts and the GM takeover and healthcare and and and, wait, that is the very definition of fascism.. oops.
Fuck it, let's just hate the rich.
