RE: Re: [Marxism] Michael Moore decline continues

Actually, almost all leftist I know are very much into either pro or
college football, or pro baseball. In '96 he denounced anyone who wasn't
into the TV series "Friends" as being worthless. Who knows what criteria
he'll come up with next."

I honestly have no idea how these statements are "left bashing."

More than this, though, this kind of "look-how-ignorant-I-am" class
clown grandstanding is common among big time media figure. Look at
Dennis Miller, Bill Maher and other humorists/entertainers. If it
pisses you off, ignore it. What do you expect, analysis?

To be completely frank, imho, a lot of the overgeneralizations about
Michael Moore and other matters on this list can fringe on the same kind
of cultural silliness.

Solidarity!
