saw farenheit 9/11 last friday - my birthday. i cried. who didn't?
i'm glad the movie was made, i'm glad people are seeing it in record numbers. it had a lot of good and incredibly important points and connections. but i'm sick and tired of michael moore's bullshit, of his rampant racism and xenophobic nationalism, of the way he exploits and ( Read more... )

i am reading your criticism of michael moore's xenophobia and homophobia and racism and i guess i'm not sure how i feel about a lot of what you're saying... seems to me that michael moore is significantly more uh tolerant and compassionate than you suggest.. while i would agree that he does not appear to ride on the fringes of radical counterculture in every respect, i think a lot of the generalizing he does that could be taken as ignorance or disrespect is aimed at a public that would be totally alienated by a more progressive vocabulary or political language; considering the guy's overwhelming commitment to human beings in general, it's hard for me to believe that he's perpetuating white nationalism... maybe there's specific evidence of this out there, but i am really suspect of folks who would pick such a uh meaty bone with a michael moore... of all the people to get down on, he is not a particularly well chosen target or anywhere near the genre of american citizens who exploit xenophobia to commit acts of war... i guess i'd like to know where you're coming from in highlighting your grievances against this person; maybe you can point me somewhere to read something about it... i'm not saying you're wrong, obviously, but sometimes i feel like people in the "radical" community go after well intentioned, largely constructive people or movements that sit a BIT closer to the center just to elevate their own sense of revolutionary grandeur.... this does not mean i think you are doing this, but i have to admit i am a little skeptical of such scathing criticism of somebody that i kind of admire for his ability to translate abstract ideology into physical change..
what you think?
