Michael Moore...
OptionResults
Love Him
Hate Him
On the fence
Only out for publicity
Worst James Bond Ever.
Hatred isn't good. I don't like this man nor what he has to say.
He is a dick
It scares me about W if he is only 10% correct
I like that he isn't afraid to ask questions.
Just another opinionated gasbag
Don't hate the playa, hate the game (but he's still a dick)
No worse than Spokes/Welshy, etc.
This is a multiple choice poll.

I met Michael Moorer once. 

I shook his hand.  I have big hands but he had these giant hands that felt like bricks.  No wonder he hit so hard.

Perhaps he is a modern day Don Quixote.  Or maybe he is just plain f&%#ing nuts.  I don't know, but his movies are thought provoking.  He is the voice that people don't want to hear but need to hear lest they become too complacent.  Every nation needs Michael Moore, if only to keep the politicians on their toes.

Niehter love hime nor hate him. I like him, and I agree with what Machiavelo said. Of course he is out for publicity. He is, after all, a filmmaker. I pretty much like anyone that gets me thinking, whether I agree with the person or not, and Michael Moore gets pretty much everyone thinking.

I wish I could say I found something he did valuable. Questionable facts combined with a camera combined with attempts at humor. Almost like a Ralph Nader wanna-be without the substance.

I like documentaries. Michael Moore doesn't make them.
If you want a good documentary, rent The Fog of War: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Fog_of_War/60031296?trkid=64596

Insightful non-partisan stuff from a guy who served under both Democratic and Republican presidents during Korea, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, etc. Extremely interesting.

I'm fine with people being kept on their toes, but this dude's a loon.  Jump cuts and facts twisted to justify your take on something... please.  You know when the dude's from South Park hate you, there's something wrong.

Heh...so true.

What's amazing are the people that take what he says at face value without questioning his "facts" and slant on certain subjects.

I think Moore takes a topic that needs to be evaluated then protrays it in a manner so far off center that he alienates too many people to make a difference. Some of his theories are cooky and similar to the rantings of a lunatic.

He needs to learn how to ask the challenging questions and not look for shock value.

I was disappointed with both his and Gore's work. If you really care to make a difference, try and make that difference without putting your own ego first.

They spoof everyone, but they're on the record as liking most of the people they put in their episodes.  However they are on the record as holding Moore in great contempt (and they think Sean Penn is a douche, but who doesn't).
