    Donating it to what?

    And who says he doesn't make charitable donations - it's not like the press would report the "good" he does anyway.

        Calm yourself now.... It was a thought... Donate to what? Im sure there are plenty of reputable charities or foundations willing to take the money and support the cause....

                        He has staff to pay, production to pay for, publicity to pay for, advertisements to pay for - not to mention, he's not getting that all in his pocket - there are distributors and sponsors taking a nice chunk of change.

                          All his money? He's a comedian/film maker, and he donates more of his money to the troops then ANY other entertainer.

                          I'll never understand why everyone's trying to shot the messenger. Why don't you dontate all the money you've made from the work you've done over the past year?

                                Because I did not make any money tied to political agendas and or hype. He is. End of story.

                                  It might be just me but when money is involved with "getting the word out" I consider the reason behind such word.

                                    If bush had no hidden agenda to declaring Saddam had WMD, then obviously Moore has no hidden agenda to making a documentary.

                                      Thats a good point. He would be a hero if he donated a portion of the proceeds to the victims on 911

                                        Why would he do that ? He worked his whole life to get there ... he can at least get some money ;)

                                          Every U.S. soldier in Iraq is being paid, as is Bush. Do you distrust the motivation of Bush and our troops too? Why do you hate America?

                                          When are Rush Limbaugh and Fox going to donate the money they make to charity?

                                              Exactly. Why isnt he? I know if I was pursuing the cause and fighting for whats right with a movie like this I personally would do such a thing...

                                                  I can care less...anything to get bush out of office..All this terrorism will stop..Only started cuz it was part of bushes plan.A damnit conspiracy for his own profit on oil. The bin ladens will chillin and smoking cigars in th white house when the terrorist ran the planes into WTC. If we get him out of office we will be able to stabalize the economy somewhat..Also if he is re-elected you can guarantee the fucking draft be put in affect and all your first born boys will end up going. They switched that rule btw long ago..Im not fucking dying for this cock smoker

                                                    Rush is too busy feeding his drug addiction to feed the needy.

                                                              So I guess 21 mill aint enough to live on these days eh?
                                                              if you think that moore made $21 mil then you are sadly mistaken. ever hear of a production company? i am not sure what moore, himself, pulled in on this weekend's box office receipts but rest assured it was nowhere in the neighborhood of $21 mil.

                                                              and since when does one have to donate all of their earnings to be a patriot? how much do you think the fuckheads in office donate?

He may talk about wanting to influence the election and such, but he's all about the money. So are the Weinsteins. And this thing is going to be a huge moneymaker. He can buy himself a nice house and finance 5 movies with the money he'll make.

                                                                          21.8 million is more than Bowling for Columbine made in it's entire run.

                                                                          And it's a movie. A documentary movie with a decidedly and unapologetic slant against Bush.

                                                                          This reminds me of a cartoon I once saw. It was a pissed customer returning a printer to a store and the clerk is saying "Yes ma'am, we're sorry it was too difficult to use. In addition to returning all of your money, we've fired the salesman, then had him shot. Are you satisfied?"

                                                                          Of course she's not

                                                                          Get over it.

                                                                          You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                                                            1. VP Chaney should donate all money he's earned from Haleburton since the war started to the families of the solidiers who died in the war!

                                                                            2. Haleburton and any other corporation profiting from this war should donate their profits to families of the brave solidiers who gave their lives for this war. They should send the children of every dead solider to college and not some community college but Yale or some Ivy league school like the President and his corporate pals went to.

                                                                            Moore donate money? We should donate money to Moore to make more movies that remind Americans of what this war is really about and what the real cost of it is.

They were down their serving their country and fellow country men...

                                                                                              It was a documentary, not a "Declaration of Patriotism". The documentary leans to his views, because it's his movie and he'll be the first person to admit that he not bipartisan and not going to be unbiased in his own documentaries.
