Moore's latest film is proving a complete disaster for him...
____
His major themes are his status as the spokesman of the working class, the evils of capitalism, and the selfishness of (all other) Americans.
It would be easy to denounce Moore as a hypocrite. Many conservatives denounce him as a leftist, when in fact the serious left, the thinking left, generally finds him appalling. He is the latest in the modern breed of Limousine Leftists individuals who, while personally they share the values of 19th century robber barons, find it flattering to adopt a thin veneer of leftism as a pose, in the same manner they pick a flattering hair style or gown. (A left-leaning critic of Moore summed up the situation very nicely: Moores appeal lies in his giving wealthy, over-educated, whites an opportunity to laugh at working-class whites.)
He lives in a million-dollar apartment, and boasts of that as well. I walk among them. I live on the island of Manhattan, a three-mile-wide strip of land that is luxury home and corporate suite to Americas elite .. Those who run your life live in my neighborhood. I walk in the streets with them each day (Michael Moore, Stupid White Men, p. 51). For vacations, he keeps another million-dollar beachfront house in Michigan.
You would think that hes the ultimate common man. But hes money-obsessed, said one associate.
He sends his child to a private school no sense associating with the working class and has some trouble associating with them himself. The New York Post reported on a tantrum he threw in London: Then, on his second-to-last night, [Michael Moore] raged against everyone connected with the Roundhouse and complained that he was being paid a measly $750 a night. He completely lost the plot, a member of the stage crew told the London Evening Standard. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the 5 pound-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all con men and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public. At his last appearance, staffers refused to work or even open the theaters doors. NY Post, Jan. 8, 2003.
