Not even the republicans will argue about the health care (well except the rich ones).
I would argue that Bill Maher is also doing his part. He is doing the show Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. Bill does not have the draw of a Michael Moore.
There is no point in preaching to the brainwashed. If people still support bush and the War in Iraq - then you may as well try and discuss the theory of relativity with someone with an IQ half that of Forest Gump!
Critical thinking requires one ignore the person and read the information being presented. What I see is personal attacks on the man's weight, appearance, the way he speaks but not what he says, writes, thinks.
Maher is more potently against religion and people who do not use reasoned arguments. So religious people will tend to be offended by Maher and his Libertarian views. But there is a "simplify everything to black and white" policy in right wing religious thinking. Saddam Bad Kill. Socialism Bad Stop.
Reading Michael Moore opposition website forums the strawman arguments are endless. Reading some writer for Slate Christopher something it is quite apparent that attacking the man and using lots of discrediting remarks is easier than actually building coherent arguments against the truth.
The scary thing for the part of the population that truly is intelligent enough not to believe the likes of Bush is that they are in the minority.
I find it funny that the same people who hate Moore because he stumbles over some words in an interview with no real preparation as to what he will be asked are the same people who vote for the likes of Bush who when he knows all the questions in advance and has a teleprompter to read from speaks so much worse than your average 9 year old girl from Britain -- but like I said --perhaps Mike needs to do a film about the education system. A stupid population continues to support right wing religious Pat Robertson folk though so education is WAY down the list of something to improve.
