Michael Moore writes a self-serving "please oppose my country" letter to German paper Die Zeit. This is a guy who opposes everything about capitalism except as it applies to him, who hates every fat-cat but himself, who go to any length to promote himself including trashing his country (and, coincidentally, many of the people who are putting money in his pocket) in a foreign land. This kind of thing would be an absolute disgrace coming from any end of the political spectrum. Moore's writing, as usual, Fisks itself - from Bush stole the election, to Americans are provincial boobs, to the idea that the press won't report on dissenting voices. It's "Michael Moore's Greatest Hits" in German. Maybe he's bucking to be the next David Hasselhoff. At least Hasselhoff actually contributes something of value to the world.
Should such an ignorant people lead the world? How did it come to this in the first place? 82 percent of us don't even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a language other than English (and we don't even speak that very well.) ...
We approach life relatively openly and generously and without complication. When you ask us for help we come to help you. And when you tell us that donkeys can fly we believe it (when you say it on television.). ...
Well, Academy Award winner Moore should certainly know something about people believing anything, eh?
The one word I have for that attitude is: TREASON. That man is worth less than a pice of hog's shit.

You americans already have dozens of government selfserving officers telling lies to upgrade your countries' image. Thank God you have at least one selfserving fellow telling "lies" that go in the opposite direction. Some of the stuff he says should be listened. Some serious selfvaloration could do you americans and the rest of the world no harm.

I have a feeling that if we compared notes as to what our government is "lying" about, our lists wouldn't agree in very many places. There may be some commentators who have some valuable words of caution that differ from Administration lines, and we should listen to them and do.
Michael Moore is not one of those people. Mr. Moore has absolutely nothing of calue to offer. Lies (such as they are) need to be combatted by truth, not more lies.
