1. They don't need a reason to foam about Mike.
THe simple act of thinking about him causes them to go into a fit.

The truth to freepers is like sunlight to vampires.

3. breathing.
the fact that he lives and breathes makes them spew and sputter more than a Jane Fonda poster.

4. Moore opened the door to standing up to Bush after 9/11
Shortly after 9/11, when almost no other high profile people on the left would speak out, Michael Moore was out slamming Bush. When he released Stupid White Men, everyone saw that it was ok to tell the truth about Bush and you can even make money doing it.

Moore stood up when others wouldn't.

The right wing hates "uppity" lefties.

15. Right after 9/11
Moore sent out almost daily emails to his subscribers describing his trip across the country. I hadn't discovered DU yet, and his words meant SO MUCH TO ME!!! It was so good knowing I wasn't the only one who thought Chimpy was crazy with his "with us or with the terrorists" speech (i.e. I really need a third alternative!!!)

5. When 'ya piss off Moses, like Michael did in "Bowling for Columbine"
That was a double smoker. First the Christie Fundies. Then the 'Holier Than Thou, Gun Owners.

After Fahrenheit 911 they'll want to kill him. And I think he should take 'em seriously.

6. He's fat and un-shaven
That's what freepers tell me. They don't really refute his politcs because they don't know! They just know that they are supposed to hate him!

10. Hypocrites
I love how Republicans and Conservatives all call Michael Moore "fat", yet they claim WE'RE the ones who use "childish name-calling" against our political opponents.

Most of the freepers are fat and unshaven. Ever look at the pictures on the site?

8. Michael Moore' existence offends them
The Freepers will never forgive the Oscars two years ago. The latest film has some conservatives ready to boycott Disney.

18. Hi! Mr. nitpicky Hollywood film snob coming out of his hole to tell you...
Edited on Mon Apr-26-04 08:20 PM by Touchdown
that films premier, have showings, and are presented, but they never air...that's reserved for Television and Radio.

...And they're probably more than pissed.:hi:

21. Yes, I think he's the one we have to thank for that
But apparently, it's more important what you do with your medals, and the right exact language you use about them, then whether you actually served your time or not.

14. I saw a news brief
that was all in a flutter that Mike was using a firm in CANADA to do his web site. Why they are all upset about that I have no idea. Maybe it has to do with the outsourcing of jobs. So maybe he should have a us firm doing it. But it pails in comparison at what the shrub administration has let happen to our jobs.
Canadians are great people and are our friends. I hope!

17. I think his reason could be political.
I don't think the Patriot Act can reach into Canada, I hope.

20. he might be thanking his friends at Salter St. Studios ...
I heard that they have been downsized, and maybe some of the employees went into web design! Salter helped him make "Bowling" when some US firms didn't want to be associated with the project because of a possible backlash.

Mike's grandfather was Canadian, so many of us up here view him as an honourary citizen.

26. He looks like a good ole boy but he ain't


They can't stand him because they wish that he would think like them.
He looks like some of them and they want him to be Repub.

They are trying their best to neutralize him now so that when the movie comes out everyone will not want to see it.

He must be thrilled---there is so such thing has "bad" publicity.
