Have any of you read this book? It is amazing. I loved it.

cee2lee2 · 02-08-2003, 01:28 AM

I've read reviews of it but haven't read it yet.

I haven't read it yet, but it's high on my list. I'll get back to you.

I read it. It has some really amusing stories in it but suffers from to much hyperbole. Michael Moore makes a great case for a perspective on the negative forces diving our political culture in the US. It's too bad he presents it in a way that is somewhat repugnant (frequent use of obsenity is a weak verbal crutch, IMO). Naderites will love it.

Michael Moore, what a guy. Haven't seen many people as far out on the left as him. He thinks that Clinton was a closet Republican HAHAHA!

Regardless of how much or how often I do or do not agree with Michael Moore, I have to commend him for his argumentative abilities.

Ah, I've enjoyed Micheal Moore's TV programs he made for the BBC......I think this book is gonna be put on my to-read list

Am now reading it. It's almost an anticlimax after that first chapter. I KNEW Generalissimo Bush stole that election, but I'd no idea how insidiously. Mr. Moore needs to write a follow-up. Peace!

moore comes across at first as a bit of an anarchist but in fact is just a v staunch supporter of a sensible rehaul of us politics. it aint much better over here either

he makes a lot of important points and it's reassuring he's still near the top of the non-fiction bestsellers. plus the angrier he gets, the funnier he gets, and it's a clever way to get reader empathy.

who saw bowling for columbine?

*Puts hand up, and waves it around like an idiot* I did. Great movie.
