Just FYI

This could be interesting. I've checked Fathead's site several times in the past to see if I could respond to whatever his current blather was, but he's never opened up a section of it to comments until now. I wonder if conservatives will be banned there as fast as they are at DUmmyland.
Also, there's a couple of DUmmies who don't seem to worship at his feet:

1. Other than being a good attack dog to send after George Bush
Michael Moore is of little value

Democratic convention at the most important biggest states delegate breakfasts??
Just explain that away..why the Democratic party regards him as their #1 calling card to delegates from the most important largest states in the Union!!
Of course he probably hasn't gone to NJ delegate breakfasts..but he goes to all the biggest states!
And he is always surrounded with Democrats that love a momment to speak with him! In fact I will go as far as to say..he is usally mobbed by democrats! So much so he needs body guards even at the convention!
On a scale of 1-10 , I would say Michael is a 10 in demand by democrats to hear him speak ..
seems you and some around here need to get your messages straighten out!
Democrats ain't the reason he needs bodyguards, sweetie.

78. I'll compare MM's progressive achievements against yours, any day.
Mike might be of "little value" to those who worship the status quo, but he's been a consistent fighter for equal rights, peace, unions, affordable health care, etc., for more than two decades.
What have you done that gives you the right to belittle his work?
Can anyone tell me exactly what those "achievements" are, besides duping moonbats out of their money? Did Bowling For Columbine change gun laws? Did Sicko change the health care delivery system? Did F-9/11 end the war one day sooner?

9. While Michael Moore has done some interesting things,
he's also shot his mouth off inappropriately a lot as well. I have to examine each thing he does individually, so I don't just automatically love everything he says, writes, or produces.
I don't consider him a reliable voice in US politics.

43. Michael Moore is a filmmaker. He often manipulates information
to make his point. That's how he makes his living. Nothing wrong with that, but his films need serious study to weed out the facts from the fiction. In some ways, they're propaganda for his position. Now, I share his position on many things, but not his penchant for stretching information to fit his viewpoint.
He does not make documentary films. He makes pseudo-documentary films which show a single viewpoint. If you agree with that viewpoint, as I do in most areas, they're very gratifying to watch. They're also easily disputed by those who do not agree with the viewpoint. In that sense, they fail to convert holders of other viewpoints. That is Michael Moore's flaw as a filmmaker. I wish he'd do it better. He's good at his craft.

Except you kept responding to him. Answering his question would be the "adult" thing to do by the way.
Moore, who sat in former President Jimmy Carter's box at the convention Monday night, has been welcomed by wildly enthusiastic audiences at his appearances in Boston. He made his remarks about Republicans during one of those appearances, at a forum sponsored by the left-wing organizing group Campaign for America's Future. The speech drew an overflow crowd; fans stood in line for hours for a chance to hear Moore speak.

This should give you a hint or two why Kerry got his ass kicked in this election, and the reason why he wasn't the star at the 2008 convention....

Democrats ain't the reason he needs bodyguards, sweetie.
The bodyguards are there to protect the breakfast and democrats from a hungry MM.

Sometimes a spork is not enough, I'm going to have to remove my brain and wash it to get rid of that image. :(
