I'd never disrespect Michael Moore....but was he "too in your face"?

[mtnsnake]

I honestly think Michael is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters. Maybe I'm wrong, but I wonder if he should've taken more of a back seat during the election and just let his movie do the talking on its own great merits, and not try to shove it down people's throats who were not going to watch it anyway.

Anyway, now that they've stolen the election again, I hope Michael continues doing what he does best, exsposing scumbags like Bush for what they are...outright criminals.

1. Nope. Not at all. He brought thousands to the table who would

not have been there otherwise. And he inspired the Dems and got them riled up and enthused.

No, the loss was not the fault of Kerry or Michael Moore or Bruce Springsteen or Barbra Streisand. We were up against almost insurmountable odds - incumbent, war-time, Bush and GOP machine.

It's time to look at why this party does not get majority votes in MOST of the states, esp. those between the two coasts. THAT'S the problem, I think. OR maybe it's the fact that a lot of Dem. voters don't even bother to vote. Although this time we had a record turnout.

8. Let's face it our election system is broken.

While we concentrated on getting people to vote, not enough people were concentrating on getting the votes counted. Early scuttlebutt tells of votes neither counted or even lost and those were the ones that could be verified.

I say, we need to have shadow elections to verify votes if our government doesn't implement a system of verifying the votes, a double entry system, like any business would have to verify their revenues.

9. The truth hurts.....

Our country is in shambles and will continue to be.... Thank GOD for Micheal Moore, the only one to STAND UP and scream the fucking truth!

[TexasSissy]

11. Yep. So true. So true.

2. Oh well, gee, why don't we all take a vacation to Paris or

someplace with Michael and let the swing voters swing in the breeze. Michael can show his movie to the choir. We can't get those swing voters upset with the truth now can we?

3. Shove it down people's throats?

What alternate universe are you living in? Never mind; I already know the answer to that.

4. No way, he did what was necessary, he fought for all Ameicans..

We should learn something from him, and he was not scared though he was harrassed more than anyone this century I am sure..He is a hero in my eyes...

6. in-your-face =

just telling people what they don't want to hear.

7. No.

That film helped so many to see the light. We need more fighters.

10. Michael Moore helped us

Ignorant stupid people voted for Bush. It wasn't the fault of people on the left. We tried to warn them.

12. Maybe "we liberals" in the Democrat Party need to stop worshipping satan?

13. I personally like Moore, but he is a bit of a dick

I don't think people like him or Coulter on the Right matter that much.

14. "I honestly think Rush Limbaugh is a true American hero,

but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

"I honestly think Michael Savage is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

"I honestly think Ann Coulter is a true American hero, but I wonder if her "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

"I honestly think Joe Scarborough is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

"I honestly think Sean Hannity is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

I honestly think Bill O'Reilly is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

"I honestly think Tucker Carlson is a true American hero, but I wonder if his "in-your-face" presence may have alienated too many swing voters."

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - GET IN AMERICA'S FACE!!!!

16. Excellent points

Just the same, I hope no one's mistaking me for thinking I don't want Michael to be "too in your face" in general. I do. That's the way he is and that's why I like him as much as I do. I just don't know if he should've been so in people's faces during the campaign.

15. Moore is brilliant. And he never tried to shove his film

down people's throats. The only people he offended, as far as I could tell, were the rightwingers, who were trying to shove their propaganda down people's throats.

It's impossible to do an expose' if you're worried that people might think you have too much of an "in your face" presence.
