(5,405 posts)And he cares about the good of the country. Even if his point of view doesn't always line up with Democrats (who often times, including Obama, take corporatist positions that are NOT for the good of the country) that doesn't mean he wants to sink all Democrats. Your narrow minded, myopic, black and white view of politics is not suited for a more in depth conversation it would seem.
And No, Moore isn't right on everything. Let me make that point clear. NOBODY IS. The difference is that you can't handle criticism of your idols. If you were to say, Moore was wrong to support Nader, you'd have a point. If you said Moore was wrong not to support Al Gore earlier, you'd have a point. Of course your commentary goes to personal attacks on his wealth and supposedly tearing down his liberal credentials while you prop up Al Gore who actually is making money hand over fist and doing so with a huge house that also is a bit hypocritical to his message. That pretty much seals the deal on the credibility of your argument.
Moore as a whole is beneficial to our cause. Sicko was helpful in moving people in our direction during the Health Care debate when Obama himself and Congressional Dems did an absolutely terrible job of selling Obamacare. Capitalism: A Love Story, was beneficial in terms of beginning a debate over the negligence of Wall St. It was the precursor to Occupy and ultimately got the media to finally discuss Wall Street Greed after over a decade of ignoring it.
You can discount his efforts all day long but because you make personal attacks on his wealth (as if he's never donated sizable sums to great causes to help people) it shows how weak your argument is.
