I must say I’ve been a little amused by how the right is so outraged by Michael Moore. I’ll admit that I get a kick out of how much he gets under their skin. They just can’t “get over it,” as they say about, well, pretty much every criticism leveled at Bush.
Apparently Moore’s film “Bowling for Columbine,” which focused on the very real problem of gun violence in this country, was so vile, so evil, so wrong, they just can’t stop talking about it. That Oscar he got was a slap in the face to every flag-waving American – the final straw! And then he gave a stupid speech, got booed, and then tried to say only a couple of people were booing! Oh my god the humanity. We should take away his Oscar! Send him to Iraq! Or better yet, France! And he’s fat!
If this is the most you have to complain about from the left, people, best pack it in. If liberals got as upset about the junk coming from, say, Ann Coulter’s mouth, you’d get your wish and we’d all collapse from massive strokes.
You can always tell what they fear by what they bash (Daschle when he was majority leader, Gen Clark now, Moore).
God forbid they actually see the movie.
