Summary: Unfortunately, Micheal Moore IS a stupid white man
Review: He should be writing for the New York Times ! Enough Michael, the world has changed from the first time you took acid in the 60's, it's time to wake up and get some therapy !!! I think Mr. Moore's paranoid ideas and arrogance have led him to think that he can make up trash and people won't question it's validity. Why doesn't Mr. Moore ever explore the problems with his own beliefs ? Why doesn't he do an expose on how trial lawyers AND corporations have bought the Democratic Party ? I'm not a conservative, but at least with Republicans you know what you're getting: God and Corporate Welfare, and they say it. Why doesn't Mr. Moore expose the fact that his own party says they represent the common man and the under class, but all they do is create laws that make lawyers richer AND take care of corporations ! And Mike, Murdoch of FOX IS NOT related to the Bush family, nice try but very foolish !!

Summary: Spreading The Word
Review: This book was very entertaining. But what got me was it makes you think about what is going on in America. Sure he is very funny and amusing in his presentation but his comments and facts on the Bush family, the Supreme Court, and the rich, corporate businesses, and the polititians are on the money. The recent "corporate terror" with Enron, WorldCom, and others after the publication of this book just reinforces his comments and facts. I am sure people who close their eyes and minds and follow the appointed administration in the White House today will give this book bad reviews because this is not what they wish to hear. The true reviewer is open minded and have no political agenda to serve. Therefore he or she will read and give their honest opinion. The folks giving this work a low rating are only embarressing themselves and reinforcing the need not to take them serious as to what they say due to their politcal leanings. Buy this book and enjoy it. I have told over 500 people about this book and will continue to spread the word and encourage them to read and pass it on to others. Nothing wrong with a little truth. Correct?

Summary: Stop the complaining and insinuations already...
Review: What I've always liked about Michael Moore's work in film and television is how he can take up a single cause, and keep an audience captivated about. In this book, he merely meanders from one point to another, often piecing together half truths and insinuations to make it out like he is taking the moral high ground. I suspect he is trying to be funny, but there are many out there who will consider his past record of accurate research, and take some of the conclusions he reaches with faulty logic as gospel. Frankly, that scares me. Now I can't tell if he has always been full of it, or if books simply are not his media.

Summary: Funny, but depressing
Review: My advice on this one is to read it in small doses. Otherwise, you may find yourself looking suspiciously around every corner ... Hang on a minute! Bravo to Mike and his sources. Long may he reign.

Summary: MUST READ!
Review: FABULOUS book! Moore not only is hilarious but sharp and clear. He documents what he's saying - which I appreciate. Its not just "this [stinks]" ramblings but a book that gives us something we can do the way things are right now. I'm spreading the word on this one!

Summary: Fat white guy bags on thin white guys
Review: He projects his self-hate onto anyone foolish enough to buy his B.S. How much money do you make from your videos, Mr. Moore? Whatever the amount, I think he should donate half of his profits to the latest Al Sharpton campaign. This video is worthless. It's not even humorous. Spend your money on something funny, intellectual, romantic, or action-packed.

Summary: Written Just to Make Money
Review: There is enough to criticize conservatives about without having to just make stuff up like Moore does in this book. He wants so badly to be clever he creates a fairly worthless writing. Too bad Moore can't write or present material as well as Coulter.

Summary: an unfunny joke
Review: If you know Michael Moore, you know that this book's title is not ironic. Rather than making fun of political correctness, Moore supports it whole-heartedly. If you are so ignorant that you think Bush and Cheney's supporters are PC (some of them may be stupid and blindly patriotic, but PC is a liberal, neo-Marxist phenomenon), then you will like this book. If you want someone to echo the juvenile voice in your head that believes conspiracy theories, then you will like this book. For this book is a juvenile rant. The reviewer here who calls it well-researched is just plain ridiculously wrong. Moore hasn't even researched up to the level of junior high level social studies, for he says that Gore should be president because he won the popular vote. If you want to find out more about the absurdities in this book, I recommend a recent scathing review in The New Republic by a very anti-business liberal.

Summary: Fun book- quick read
Review: I read this book immediately after reading Bias. I found this book incredibly easy to read, after trudging through Bias. I love the author's humor, and as an avid reader with an active political interest I found the author's perspective refreshing when compared to the traditional commentary.This book is clearly left of center, but manages to substantiate almost all of his opinions with pretty pointed information that I hadn't quite seen as well compiled as in this book. I recommend reading this book

Summary: Michael Moore is the most entertaining voice on the left...
Review: He's certainly not the most practical, intelligent, or even factually accurate writer/director/filmmaker/typical-Joe in the country, but for my money, the guy is laugh out loud funny and his use of a range of pop culture reference-infused wit is unrivaled. This book, while not as touching, unnerving, or vital as Roger and Me, nor as light hearted as TV Nation - is Moore's deepest work to date. I was impressed with his information gathering, and the pseudo-cases he builds for blacks, gays, and women. Moore could certainly be accused of being a bleeding heart - but his populism is so well orchestrated and performed, that he pulls it off. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Moore opens his Sunday paper every week and groans at the daily travails of GW Bush. The weaker sections of the book are the ones that focus on big business and "corporate greed". Moore neglects to factor in the incentivizing benefits of our open, capitalist society and how the very greed he discusses is in large part, the oil that greases the machinery of America's great wealth. Without said wealth, many of the huge Federal programs he envisions would be even less likely than they are today. That said, there are a lot of suggestions in this book that are affordable - and can and should be implemented. This book is a must read for all left leaning folks, and an amusing weekend read for everyone else (even you conservatives will get a guffaw out of the chapter about how once our leaders become afflicted with something, all of a sudden it's top fiscal priority). As the years go by, I find myself moving a little more toward the middle than I was 8 years ago as an undergrad (a phenomena he addresses brilliantly in the book) - but Moore's screeds do a good job, at least temporarily, of making me feel like I'm doing a bit of selling out by not sticking to my guns.
