    >> A Letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush on the Eve of War

Is this the same racist Michael Moore who wrote "Stupid White Men" and
took the trouble to tear down white men publicly in front of a large
crowd in London with all kinds of disgusting slurs? Yeah, I'm going to
listen to him, alright....

Richard Price

I love Michael Moore. He is SO right!

On Sat, 22 Mar 2003 02:17:53 GMT, in rec.travel.europe, Richard Price
arranged some electrons, so they looked like this :


... I love Michael Moore. He is SO right!

The "weapons of mass distraction"... that's *perfect* !

Let's see, "grey" won't listen ot dissenting opinion, fails to discern
irony, fails to discern that a book titled "Stupid White Men" is not racist
but is in part about racism .
And has obviously not read the book of which he is the titled subject.

By the way, it isn't a particularly good book. It is mainly preaching to
the choir and the humor isn't good enough to stand on its own.
