Reply #11: He never said he could do the job, did he? [View All]

What he did was risk his own life by exposing the Bush gang when the media refused to do it. He was threatened, his family were threatened, he had to hire security because the Government wasn't going to protect him, to protect himself from the Far Right Wackos who threatened to blow up movie theaters if his movies were shown. No one was arrested for their violent threats against him. He was on his own.

And when he made Sicko, the Health Care Corps spent millions trying to dig up dirt on him, spying on him, trying to smear his family, lying about him. And it worked to an extent, even on leftwing boards the propaganda showed up.

When Wendell Potter finally decided to become a whistle-blower, he admitted that millions were spent on a campaign against MM and made a public apology to him for the role he played in getting the lies to the media.

This much I do know about him. IF he said he could be president, he would do what he promised, no matter how hard it was.

After he made Capitalism A Love Story, at the end of the movie he said he was not going to do any more of this. Because he was tired of taking the brunt of the attacks alone. And that if everyone else did not stand up, that would be his last movie.

Michael Moore is an American hero. He did his part, btw, what risks did YOU take to oppose the Bush gang? Make any movies digging up dirt that the Bushes had suppressed in the media? Expose the corrupt HC system publicly?

He said he would expose them and he did, at a time when most people, especially our cowardly elected officials were all going along out of fear of being attacked.

He has remained supportive of this president, he has been more than kind to him, giving him the benefit of the doubt over and over again, rather than give the Right any ammunition, but the truth is he is RIGHT and he is not the only one. He cares deeply about this country and sorry but one man is not that important in the scheme of things. The left has enabled this president by remaining silent, to cater to the right and it HAS been disastrous for this country.
