I have watched with mild amusement this week the self-immolation of the Republican Party as it bows before the altar of Rush

I know he's popular with his audience , just like Rush Limbaugh is with his, but just like you don't like Rush, I don't like MM.
Besides all the other things hes said and done that I don't like and agree with, the number one thing I hold against him is how he used and exploited E &D in BOC, which you and I have discussed many times before.
I won't ever forget that he did that..

Well, as you know, I'm a big Michael Moore fan, lol, but as we've discussed, I see your point of view. Michael seems to be one of those people there's a real "love" or "hate" thing about. But I personally think he's done far more to benefit society in the expression of his views (through his films and other means) than Rush (i.e raising awareness about things like the healthcare system in this country, violence, getting more young people involved in our politics, etc, etc); he's not just a blowhard talking into a microphone three hours a day; he's an activist. I mean, I'm sure Rush has energized or even inspired people on the right, but I just don't see it as nearly as productive and not even because of my personal bias or obvious disagreement with him, but that he's mainly just seemed to get people riled up and angry at people like Pres. Obama, and Bill and Hillary and John K. and others he picks on..but to what end? I mean, maybe he could be considered an activist of sorts for the Right as he does seem to get them energized in
