Michael Moore made a boo boo...
when he took himself out of the running for the Oscar. Most people don't seem to know about it and so he looks like he got snubbed for other reasons.

I'm surprised at how many DUers didn't even seem to know that! I thought it was fairly well-publicized.

5. That's kinda not the point...
The point is the freeps are pouncing on it because they think he was snubbed because no one likes liberals and/or it was a bad movie.

Had he not done that, it would have been nommed and would have likely won.

9. They thought the Oscar crowd was booing MM,
2 years ago, when they were actually booing eachother.

Liberal Hollywood hates liberals!

2. I remember; wasn't this so the
movie could be rented far and wide prior to the election? He did it to inform and edumacate.

3. I remember him doing that
IIRC, he said it was to allow other documentary makers a chance.

4. Well, remember what happened the last time he went up on stage
at the Oscars. I gotta feel a lot of respect for Mike and how he speaks his mind and all, but considering the right winged cooks out there, he has to look out for #1 (himself) and his family.

Jesus? stabbed.
Ghandhi? shot.
ML King? Shot.

Mike? trying to stay off the fundie radar.

8. I hate to say it, but I've thought that myself...
Isn't that weird? It's like I went to bed last night in America and woke up in a third-world country where journalists get disappeared all the time.

10. Conservatives and Bushbots really hate that man.
They hate him because Moore showed the truth about their idiot son.
