This thread still running?

Have ya ever stepped back 50 paces and analysed the postings here? It shows a load of shit about battering the current "enemy of the day" and a great polarisation, based on the political views of folks within the US.

I'm amazed some people find this much contraversy in Moore.

This appears to come from some great sensibilities to do with anything in politics in the US (allowing for election year hysteria).

I can think of several movies which are highly critical of governments in other countries. Governments and "leaders" are not sacred and generally these movies were then shown on television asap after the release - can't see any rush to see this happening to Moore's movie in the US, - only "obstacle courses" to avoid others viewing it.

Much as it may seem strange, I gotta agree with theking *g*, - Moore is a satarist and entertainer who is touching these "finer sensibilites" and pressing the right buttons and sure getting a reaction.

This is somewhat like an interview Bush gave to Irish TV when he made such ridiculous claims - ie.. most of Europe was/is behind us in the war in Iraq - when in fact, not only Europe, but the rest of the world was opposed to it. Bush was "ruffled" when challenged on this. There is a basic inhibition in some to accept black is black and not a darker shade of grey. Moore is simply doing the same thing - challenging. There is nothing wrong with that - some shit needs challenging.
