Upon the release of Stupid White Men, Michael Moore has arguably established himself as the answer of moderates and liberals to the likes of corporate America.
Though many are outraged about the allegations of this book, it is not so apparent that Moore's critics and opponents have answered the indictments in this publication with strong, highly reasonable, clearly expressed responses. From what I see and hear on most of the news shows, the only discussions from pundits center around using false diatribes and trying with no success to portray Moore as an anti-patriot. They just cannot seem to effectively deconstruct the perceived merits and flaws of this work, whether in print or on film.
I do agree that this book might be somewhat slanted, but the so-called extenuating circumstances that critics have tried to espouse in defense of the State of the Union hold very little weight. And who are these critics? Again, Moore's opponents.
Don't get me wrong. There are annoyances from the leftist view, but when you have those espousing their venom under the guise of news talk radio, leaving little room, if any, for other points of view, perhaps for those other opinions to receive any undivided, uninterrupted attention this book had to come out.
Our nation is divided. Plus, it does not help when it is so apparent that those in power seek to elevate their status, regardless of whether it is at the expense of America's working classes. And if they took the time to read this book, then they might conclude deep down inside that Moore has managed to hold a mirror that reflects their greedy, prideful arrogance.

This is an autobiography, I think. Michael is about the size of two of me, which means that he can be considered more than one.
In fact, the better title for this book would have been "The Stupid White Whale." But I think Mr. Moore respects whales, so he didn't do that. |

He was 100% right on everything. Time is the true judge and it show Michael 100% right about Bush. He picked his buddy to run government. How many have resigned, been indicted, be convicted? Remember FEMA and Katrina?

Amazon should offer this book tied with "Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man" by Hardy and Clarke.
At least then it would be convenient to find the truth while reading his propoganda.
I understand he's angry... if I grew up a middle class white guy from the suburbs only to turn out to be a rich white guy living in an exclusive neighborhood while sending my kids to private school I'd be upset too. |

Although I am anti-Bush and I generally agree with Moore's viewpoints, this book could have been a lot better. Instead of wasting pages making fun of republicans, Moore could have developed more meaningful arguments against the right-wing agenda. Although I think some of the stuff he says is amusing, we can't fight the right-wing by just going on about how stupid they are. We need something more substantial than that. |
