btw capitalism is not democracy good thing u pointed that out michael
How does he say the the republicans get more air time, when Bush was in office the media gave democrats air time. The thing really is that the media loves drama and they do the best they can to degrade whoever is in office and stir up more hate and drama.
I do like Moore, but he needs to wake up to the 2 party dictatorship !! over a century of dems & republicans and where are we ? its steering the wheel 15% to the left or 15% to the right, with enough change to fool sheep and still keep corporatism going down the road !
"but he needs to wake up to the 2 party dictatorship !!"
You mean the same MM who campaigned for Ralph Nadar in 2000? The same MM who spent most of the 90's attacking the two party system? The same MM who allied himself with the Dems only as a direct refutation to GWB?
@victoria4me True dat. Here in Canada, I have a pre-existing condition. It's called citizenship, and it guarantees me that if I get cancer, I wont have to mortgage my house to spend the last six months of my life in a hospital.
benzir bhutto said, in a interivew with the famous Frost guy who interviewed Nixon. Bin Laden was assinated. I forget by whom. the video is on youtube somewhere.
He is right. Due to the crappy job the Dems have done, I'm dropping my party affiliation to Independent. Not to vote for the right, but as a show of disapproval. Keep on going Michael, I'm glad someone from the left is out there criticizing the job Washington isn't doing.
You know, being an Independent - Republicans are no more an asshole than Democrats are - at one time a divided house was a good thing, but I don't know anymore - we NEED a true meaningful third party that can make a difference - and give the other two a run for their money - and perhaps work together (when donkeys fly)
I know how many people are still going to be uninsured....BUT WHO... WHO will still be uninsured..how does the government choose WHO will still be uninsured???
Obama will be scare shitless to talk to Michael Moore, we put you in your president chair for a reason, to do your job and not kiss ass, Obama talks so much but get nothing done, last election we gather more then a few hundred school friend to vote for Obama, now we are looking for 3rd party option. If Obama don't start getting things done, there won't be a next election for him.
@navyboydjray I'm sure Obama is well aware of Moore's ideas and moral ideals. But, Obama is a pragmatist who has to juggle 1,000 things and figure out what can realistically be done. I'm not saying B. Obama is right, but, you have to get elected to be president, and I doubt Michael could do that.
I'm sure Obama has the weight of the country on his shoulders.
I just wish we had health care that was a little like what Europe has but better. I'm sure we could do it. We put men on the moon with duct tape and a slid-rule.
I love his take on what the media covers. He spot on about that. They make a story where they feel like making a story. I have been a part of huge demonstration in my time that were never covered by the media. Like we didn't exist.
I really agree with all his political positions. The dems are scared and should own up to their duty. I don't agree with Iraq, but i think we should stay in Afganistan for another short while. The Pakistani are finally supporting our efforts and the war is slowly "succeeding".
Moore, i think the problem is that you're too..."extreme" in your positions. If you want to attract more attention, you have to stop being so negative too! Be more positive about health care and YOU can make it pass.
Michael, you're terrific, and I fully support your positions on Wall Street, health care, and reforming Washington. I was totally against our unjustified aggression in Iraq (see comment below) but strongly disagree with you on Afghanistan.
A stable, Al Qaeda free Afghanistan and pacified Taliban is very desirable, and could be vital for Afghani women.
However, a stable Pakistan is absolutely essential. If we leave Afghanistan now, there is almost no hope of stabilizing Pakistan.
If we don't stabilize both Afghanistan & Pakistan together, we're going to be in some very deep sh*t if the Taliban & crazies take over the region. Then the situation will be exponentially worse -- and could even involve renegade Nukes in the hands of terrorists, or an India-Pakistan nuclear war.
President Obama probably feels the same. We have to work with Karzai which may spell failure, but we've got to try now, or resign ourselves to enormously more dangerous problems later.
I just wish more people would listen to what you have to say. I have seen almost all your films, and with out sounding like a Cliché your movie Fahrenheit 9/11 actually changed my life.
I have to watch it on a boot-leg DVD as I was still in the Navy and it was not coming to the base theater.
After that, my entire political prospective shifted. I left active duty the next year and went to college.
What if Americans could generate some of their own electricity by peddling a stationary bike, for example? I have heard in Third World places where kids and adults can "play" and the manipulation of the pieces, pumps water.
A family can pump a day's worth of water from their own well w/o being on "the grid," and we can lose weight at the same time. Maybe charge batteries instead of pumping H20.
Bush caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocents, and displaced 3-4 million Iraqis, many of whom are now living as refugees in Syria & Jordan. How did we help them?
Duhh???
The biggest winners in Iraq were Al Qaeda who grew 10X. and IRAN, whose Shiite friends now control most of Iraq.
BTW, we had about 4,370 Americans killed and 31,000 wounded. For what? To free Iraqi oil and punish Saddam??
Invading Iraq and killing the parents and siblings of young Iraqi boys will only drive them into the waiting arms of AlQaeda. Precision strikes on Al Qaeda are what is necessary. Bush's bombing of cities was terrorism. Remember "shock and awe"? - that's what terrorists do.
@ 2:46 michael "wrong" about iraq? 600,000 - 1.5 Million dead iraqi civilians 4300+ dead American troops 50 bombings in iraq just last week iraq's middle class, gutted and living in refugee camps iraq's education and healthcare, gutted new generation of uneducated iraqis. sharia takes hold in some areas, women's rights actually worse now than under saddam no wolf, the war in iraq was NOT a success. it can NEVER be called a "success". iraq could not and did not attack the u.s.
I agree with everything except about the healthcare...Iraq had next to no healthcare under sanctions. And people who tried to independently bring in some medication had trouble with Saddam's regime.
great, GREAT interview. Moore is so passionate; and, I truely believe that he is one of the lone voices who is actually speaking out how a large portion of the American population feels. And that was hilarious when he was about to list FOX as a credible news source and he just cut himself off.
Ugh, this interview reminds me of the reason I no longer have cable. Blitzer's point of view reminds me of the whole 9/11 period and how helpless everyone felt. Still don't have cable!
Victory at last?? wolf blitzer and the neo cons r full of shit! look at all the people had to die because of their lies and still just to install a puppet bogus government thats beholding to america.
i think the only hope we have as a nation is to start a grass roots movement for a party with some candidates who dont come off as whack jobs to get the democrats and republicans both out of washington
@NoPartyAffilliation Canada got its health care when a party called Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) came along with a definite agenda to bring free health care to all Canadians. The party that was in power at the time ended up bringing it in before the election to prevent losing to them.
@anonEyeMouse. You didn't even mention Pakistan. Their situation is stuck to the hip of Afghanistan. The Taliban freely move back and forth across their border.
How can we help stabilize Pakistan with its nuclear weapons if we just pull out of Afghanistan???
As ruthless, maybe but they have different goals. You also have to remember that the Taliban is highly factionalised at the minute. It is a mass of groups under the old name who simply want their own nationalist agenda enacted. Al Qaeda is dedicated to a world wide holy war against non-muslims.
As far as Pakistan goes, give it the same funding you give to Israel and you will have no problems with border control.
@IceSlushi and its also called propaganda. And something Moore is trying to sell more and more of in his films. Only problem is us common folk which he supposedly is trying to help (cough bullshit cough) isn't falling for it anymore.

Last estimates were there were as little as 30 Al Qaeda members in Afghanistan and certainly no more that 300.
That means that there is a significant likelihood that the USA has more Al Qaeda members in it that Afghanistan.
The problem in Afghanistan is a corrupt government battling the Taliban and various militias caught between the two.
There is no viable win scenario in Afghanistan for the USA. If there is no way to win, it's time to pull out.
