June 8, 2007 - Jim Kenefick, 36, is the founder of Moorewatch.com, one of the Web's most visited anti-Michael Moore sites. So imagine Kenefick's surprise when he received a friendly voice mail last month?from Moore himself, calling from the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his agitprop documentary ?Sicko.? The lefty filmmaker had two things to tell his cybercritic. First, he wanted Kenefick to know that he and his Web site appear prominently (albeit anonymously) in ?Sicko,? his soon-to-be-released attack on the American health-care industry. In the film, Moore shows several of Kenefick?s blog posts where he pleads for money to keep MooreWatch.com alive because his wife's medical bills (Kenefick says she has a neurological disorder) have almost bankrupted him. He is saved at the last minute when a mysterious donor sends a $12,000 check, enough to keep the site going and pay insurance premiums for a year?which brought Moore to his second point. Before the world found out from his film, the filmmaker wanted his nemesis to know: he was Kenefick?s guardian angel. Kenefick spoke to NEWSWEEK?s Tony Dokoupil about his unwitting stardom and new opinion of Michael Moore.

Haha thats awesome

What a dick that Moore is, I love his work and he brings awesome issues out in the open and agree with all of his views, but to donate money annonymoussly then put it in his film , what a dick move all hes trying to do is show what a great guy he is for donating to a critic of his! bsically he selfishly used this guys problems to make himself look great, what a sleaze he probably owes that guy hudreds of thousands in PR money just for accepting his money!

yet the guy is allowed to criticize his movie before he even watched it to get traffic to his site and publicity from moores unreleased film?

wow im sure the guy is rollig in dough from all his traffic he cant pay a $12 grand bill or maintain hosting fees!
this isnt about the other guy, he could be a jackass too especially since he crticises Moore and Moores films are all true this is about Moore doing a dick move, he acted like a self righteous PIG and even more so when he announced his donation 12 grand is pocket change, get over it, you help others cause you can, get over yourself!

man tough crowd whatever mm does is wrong.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Here's what cracks me up, on the left is Moore, on the right is Kenefick :1orglaugh
