So is Moore not making any money off thsi or his other movies? Would this not also be called capitalism? I wonder how he is going to integrate Bush in on this movie, cause we all know we won't try blaming Obama for anything that might be going on. And Mr. Patriot Moore are you still registered to vote in 2 states?

There's nothing more anti-American than a "patriotic conservative." If Moore could be criticized, it's for soft peddling his messages. A couple of guys named Thomas Jefferson and James Madison warned America about the evil of corporations some 200 years ago. Jefferson called capitalists, the traitor class, as their greatest loyalty was to the source of their money. Madison recognized the infinite ability to acquire wealth thru commerce was the greatest threat to the Republic. A later fellow named Abe Lincoln had a similar view, stating, "Whatever is in labor's interest is in the Nation's interest, so whoever opposes labor commits treason."

Somebody should tell Michael Moore that the new boss of GM is giving huge bonuses to the executives in order to get them to stay. So that's how "spread the wealth" works! Moore is a sad, pathetic man making a profit based on skewing the facts and putting a slant on them. Don't be bamboozled by this UNAmerican!

Michael Moore is a national treasure. You "cons" attack anyone who questions the greed, hypocrisy, and misuse of American resources by your "God's". Your slavish devotion to idea's and people who would sell your ass for a nickel is impressive for it's sheer stupidity.

It's astonishing to me how many people believe that speaking critically about some portion of American society, which has historically caused much grief and anguish, means that the person speaking is disloyal to America. Do you not understand that it is our ability to freely make these critiques that is the very foundation of our freedom? Michael Moore is a dissenting voice, and that's a vital thing in any democratic society. It is our responsibility as the people to question that which encroaches upon our freedoms. And corporations, through their extreme influences on Capitol Hill, are major offenders in this regard. Don't blame Michael Moore for pointing that out.

"Few, it seems, hate free speech more than Americans do." ***** Unfortunately too true.
