But anyways???
His tack changes depending on who is paying the piper and you casually dismiss that as if it's irrelevant?!

Michael Moore doesn't hate America. Everyone knows that. If he hated America, he leave his rather nice $1.9m Manhatten apartment, and his $1.2m Michigan lakeside home, and move to Canada or Germany, or even to England, like he is always threatening. Or that is what he'd do if he had principals, which he doesn't.

This is nonsense and is attacking Moore personally for what he "is" (according to some) rather than what he *says*.
This is the sort of ridiculous claim that I've seen in other threads such as "if Muslims don't like the UK they should leave" and it's not a worthy argument.

He does hate Americans though.

Another sweeping generalisation. He has criticised *some* and yet, somehow, this is parlayed into him hating *all* of them.

And he does attack the "little people". Remember when he criticised them for not being at whatever reading level he feels they should be at. They can't find Iraq on map. He questions their integrity. He questions their ambition. The little people seem to get it in the neck as much as the Government does.
|
Again, he criticises *some*, not all. But that is like people in the UK criticising some "Little Englanders" or the BNP or some elements of the UKIP and is a valid comment. Unfortunately those who disagree with him want to paint him in the worst possible way so they claim he "hates America" because he doesn't hold to *their* views.

But it is funny, how Moore said he'd debate anyone, any time on his issues, books and movies.

If you wanted to start a debate, would you do it with a personal attack by calling someone a liar or saying they "Hate America"???
