Totally agree about Michael Moore, and Robert Hammerle and I had discussions about this a ways back on here (you can see a lot of it if you check out the comments on our respective profiles. I think at first he mistook me for a right-wing fanatic, which I assuredly am not...any more :)).

Even some of his earlier stuff, namely Roger and Me, had some pretty blatant misrepresentations in it. I've always said he makes great points, but he (usually unnecessarily) allows his ego to get in the way of his ultimate point, and opens himself up to criticism from the other side, which ultimately renders his point virtually useless.

Why, when you can make almost the same point without giving them ammo to come back on you with to discredit you, would you ever do something like that? You have to assume he's trying to draw attention to himself, which gets him the pub and maybe a little more money, but detracts from the argument.
