Michael Moore on CNN NOW ...

[welshTerrier2]

right after the commercial ...

a local radio station read the entire first chapter of "Dude, Where's my Country?" ... it made for some great listening ...

3. Did that seem

really confrontational to anyone else? Moore had very little time and when he did talk Brown seems like he didn't buy into anything Moore was saying. Even if Brown's not a hardline right winger, that skeptical view from the media is what Republicans never get and why we get so much flak from the general public.

9. I rarely watch Aaron Brown

that interview was horrible ... Brown was ill-informed about the status of books on the best seller list by people on the left ... moore made him look ridiculous ...

and Brown lacked the quality of a "devil's advocate" that you might see from someone like Ted Koppel ... in face, Brown lacked any quality at all ...

what was the point of asking so many questions in such a short interview ... moore was great but had little chance to do more than give his opinion without much time for explanation ...

i'll stick with c-span and the net for my news ... CNN is pathetic ...

5. what he said was

that he thinks it would be better for them if we left. That doesn't mean some bad things will happen. He supports getting international troops in and ours out to change it from an occupation to a peace keeping force. He then also seemed to say that it would also be better if we left them to themselves. Its arguable that they would be better off on their own also.

6. Looking like a fat, enemployed slob doesn't deter his message

which is right on the money.

8. so the left is into judging people now?

7. tombstone territory

ever been there ???

first of all, I hardly see how mr. moore's weight problem either supports or weakens any position he takes ... do you?

secondly, I "actually believe bush will lose next year" because he's created a devasting situation for this country by alienating the rest of the planet ...

and the economy ain't too hot either ...

and he lost the popular vote the last time around ... do you really believe that now that people have seen the harm he's caused, he'll do better than last time ?? i don't ...

and finally, mr. moore never stated, as you incorrectly suggested, that Iraq will suffer no deleterious consequences should America pack up and leave ... what he said was that the Iraqi people would be more receptive to a multi-national force supported by the U.N. and that he doesn't believe we should continue a policy that is leading to hundreds of dead americans in Iraq ... that's what some of us mean by "supporting the troops" ... perhaps you would just like to wrap yourself in the flag and pretend you support them ...

you also failed to mention mr. moore's assertion that our policy is not intended to benefit the Iraqi people ... it's to benefit American oil interests ... another DU'er said it best ... they should have called it Operation Iraqi Liberation ... get it ?? O.I.L.
