EXPOSED: The Left's biggest (and we do mean biggest) liar and hypocrite, Michael Moore
Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man
by Jason Clarke; David T. Hardy
Oscar-winning filmmaker and bestselling author Michael Moore has made a king's fortune railing against the hypocrisy he epitomizes. In "documentaries" like Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, and in "nonfiction" books like Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, Moore has proved himself over and over to be the most shamelessly dishonest -- if crudely effective -- propagandist since Joseph Goebbels and Nazi documentarian Leni Riefenstahl. Now, in Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of doctored film footage, manipulated facts, and spliced speeches to tamper with the truth.
(continued from above)
"Postwar filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary," write the authors. Drawing from the archives of their hugely popular websites MooreLies.com and MooreExposed.com, Hardy and Clarke intrepidly expose:
- How Moore pulls off a "man of the people" image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite
- Moore Money: how this self-styled proletarian charges even his most hard-pressed admirers up the wazoo for speeches
- Moore's upper-middle-class origins: how this self-described son of factory workers from
Flint, Michigan was anything but
- Why Moore shows the greatest disdain for that which he actually is: "a very rich, pasty white American male"
- Why Warner Brothers, the distributor of Moore's first film, Roger & Me, was forced to pay legal damages to a man portrayed by Moore in a false light
- How Moore lashes out at critics and spins outlandish conspiracy theories around those who don't buy into his act hook, line, and sinker
- Why Moore's Oscar-winning anti-gun-rights documentary, Bowling for Columbine, is "as manipulative as totalitarian propaganda"
- How, in Columbine, Moore made Charlton Heston -- once a leader of the civil rights movement, a personal friend of Martin Luther King, and a regular guest speaker for the Congress of Racial Equality -- come across as a gun-crazy racist, all by distorting the evidence and "creative" editing
- Big Lies: exposing some of Moore's most outrageous fabrications -- e.g., his claim that 200,000 U.S. citizens may have Mad Cow disease, that the U.S. spent a quarter-trillion dollars on one model of airplane, and that the Bush campaign received $125 million in contributions from 700 people
- Moore the Prophet: how he has fared in some of his high-profile predictions, such as his 2002 declaration that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il was about to have "a change of heart"
- Reported in full: Moore's hateful and racist (anti-white) remarks while on a speaking tour in England just after 9/11
- How nearly all of Moore's productions, both filmed and written, center on Moore showing off how intelligent and sincere he is, as contrasted to the nasty, foolish people he attacks "on behalf of the nation"
- The hilarious story behind Moore's grandstanding at the Academy Awards -- at which he was loudly booed, to his evident surprise
- How Moore preaches to a congregation of blind followers, teaching them by example that facts and knowledge aren't necessary components of rabble-rousing rhetoric -- and that it's more important to speak "passionately" than to speak intelligently or truthfully
- How Moore bends the truth to fit his predetermined thesis, creating a false impression for the wide audience that takes in his message
- How Moore's career and public persona fit the textbook definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, pervading his works with a truly pathological combination of overwhelming egotism and self-loathing
- How large an impact do his incendiary, ill-founded polemics have on the growing community that follows him with near-religious devotion?
Loaded with the kind of accurate, honest reporting to which Moore is notoriously averse, and laced with the irreverent wit he only thinks he has, Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man will have you asking: "Dude, where's your integrity?"

If nasty retorts are all we have to offer as rebuttals...we are in trouble.
Not Rated
While there are plenty of BAD things to point out about Mr. Moore . . . There is a GREAT deal to be said about tact, or lack there of. . . . This book would have been much more effective had the authors chosen a different title. Slamming Mr. Moore is certainly NOT going to invoke his decieved fans to read it or believe it. . . . It's actually only feeding the frustration of our inability to silence this (also decieved) man. Furthermore, where is OUR integrity, guys? Remember, we're the group that is trying to prove that we're the civilized ones of this nation. . . . We're trying to prove that the barbaric mud-slinging is done by the rad lefties. . . . This book unfortunately looks like it's proving otherwise. . . .
Not Rated Noel Gibeson
The title of this book is horrible. It is not funny at all and plays right into the hands of the liberals who like to stereotype us as negative, backstabbers and and always happy to take the low road. It does not matter if the writers, Clarke & Hardy, have a strong emotional reaction to Michael Moore. After all, many of us do. It is how their critcism is presented that is important. Name-calling dosen't hack it! A succinct, substantive, accurate and well-written arguement does. Present the facts, without your opinion, and let the readers draw their own conclusions. If it is well written, then they will draw the correct conclusions.
