| It is nice to see Michael Moore get emotional... more people should be. It would have been nice to see what lead up to this! Did you watch Sicko btw? I need to find that thread... --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. Last edited by hevusa; 07-10-2007 at 12:03 PM. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I'm not a big fan of Michael Moore, but I am a fan of socialized healthcare. I'm seeing Sicko today, because I heard in this one Moore got his facts straight. "Every time I hear the phrase 'Christian nation' I run to my car and blast a Slayer album at full volume." - Me | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I saw it live last night. NOTHING led up to it. LOL Michael Moore was introduced and he lashed right into Wolf and Sanjay...insisting on an apology for the last time he was one the show. LOL It was terrific. And he didn't stop for a SECOND. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

I have yet to see Michael Moore get many facts wrong. When F9/11 came out and the backlash occured I actually researched the facts that were being questioned... usually it was an insignificant detail that needed modification but all of the films major ideas remained true. But yeah, Sicko is probably more spot on... but that is because the health care industry is much more out in the open than the war machine. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

| Yesterday, before MM appeared, Dr. Sanjay Gutma (sp?) was going on about the inaccuracies. One of the inaccuracies was, in the film, MM said that America spent $7000 on each citizen per year for health care. That was inaccurate. It's $6,960.  *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance. Bigotry is a social disease.

| sorry - I thought you meant that you thought somebody had said something to MM before he started ranting at Wolf. Before, it was a very short segment on the inaccuracies some people were saying about the film. None of them were very impressive. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
