excerpt:"Michael Moore has proven again and again that he has a remarkable feel for where the zeitgeist is heading. He's like a zeitgeist divining rod.

Roger and Me was way ahead of the curve on the collapse of the auto-industry. Fahrenheit 9/11 was way ahead of the curve on the collapse of the house of cards the Bush administration used to lead us to war in Iraq. Sicko was way ahead of the curve on the collapse of the US health care system. And now, with his new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story, he is riding the wave of the collapse of trust in our country's financial system.

Who is going to watch Michael Moore's new movie? I wrote 3 pieces before about moore and his dysfunctional relationship with the truth. I'll post those links later.

I'm planning on seeing the movie. Maybe you could link here to the other stories you've written?

Good plan - here's my take on Sicko, my take on Bowling for Columbine and my most recent Moore seed which was , as usual, visited by some Moore critics. But i myself said this:

I think of Moore as essentially a propagandist, sort of the liberal version of, yes, glen beck or Rush, except he's better at it but it still is, essentially, a propagandist.

To most intelligent people, Michael Moore stories tell the obvious truth.

But feeble minded people, who see the world thru corporate media propaganda, feel unbalanced and confused by his movies. The hate for Michael Moore from this yahoos is a form of Stockholm Syndrome.
