LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Michael Moore's anti-Iraq war crusade is not stopping with U.S. President George W. Bush as the filmmaker says he now wants to make a movie about British Prime Minister Tony Blair's role in the war.

Moore, director of "Fahrenheit 9/11," the controversial documentary which last month won top prize at the Cannes film festival, said on Friday that he now wants to take a close look at the British leader's role in backing the war in Iraq and sending troops into harm's way.

"I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war in Iraq than I do George W. Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better. Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?," Moore told Reuters in an interview.

On topic: Moore is someone who believes he is intelligent and is actually a raging hypocryte. There are two points on Moore, one has he ever met Bush or Blair (Because when I have read about people meeting Blair they call him an idiot [paraphrased :lol: ], and in a book by David Frum, he actually seems to credit Bush as intelligent just without a great grasp of words, which would come from dyslexia.) and second why did he believe Bush would not have heard of the Palm d'Or, at a guess I would say most of the US haven't.

As far as I know, I actually cannot stand the man, and he obviously knows very little about the man. Anyway it is still ironic that the man who insults the person who is President of the worlds most powerful nation as unintelligent, has only made a career out of insulting him. Ah only in the US ay.

He is very amusing, he has a great sense of humour. I see him as a comedian as much as a documentary film-maker. Call it, infotainment, to borrow a phrase from the US media. An alternative to the FOX Network, for the rest of us. Were he to do a documentary on the British role in Iraq, I would not be offended at all, I would go and see it and have a good laugh. Because if one cannot do that, then that's a shame.

I like Michael Moor but there are some things he is ignorant of. When making Bowling For Columbine he got footage of the Hilsborough Disaster as a demonstration of hooliganism, despite the fact it was a tragic accident where lots of innocent people lost their lives in a crushing incident.

Psst, you there.

Well given the fact that most newspapers have been embarked upon a determined process of character-assassination for a sustained period of time now I reckon that most of the British public would be more than happy to go along with their intellectual masters.

Pretty soon, Moore is gonna attack them all. He's gone after not only Bush, but every other politician in Washington. Now he's going to London.
Something tells me that he's trying to make a handsome profit off this. I mean, as he is an American, one would think he's most concerned with toppling Bush and other Republicans, as that is his country. Now he's going to London. It won't stop there. I bet that in the next few months, he'll try to attack the governments in Tokyo, Seoul, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Rome, and any country that's ever supported the war in Iraq. In fact, with his Farenheit 911, I bet he'll use that as a springboard to attack every country that has ever supported the War on Terror. Unless, of course, it's the poor, oppressed Arabs and the Third World who were scared into supporting it. And all the while, Moore is becoming a handsomely rich man.

I've been here for a little while, but if anyone wants to paint me as this "troll" of your's, it's damn fine with me. Just thought I'd get my point of view heard.

Michael Moore is not funny, nor is he brilliant, nor is his sense of comedy in any way sensible. The truth of the matter is that he is a totally confused extremist that believes that, by somehow flaming every major right-wing party member, he is somehow furthering his cause. What is his cause? What is he really fighting for? Ladies and gentlemen, if you have even a single neuron your should be able to figure out that he craves attention.

For those of you who didn't know, Michael Moore was in jeopardy of loosing his Academy Award at one point. Only through some serious ass-kissing and begging was he able to retain it. Hollywood was investigating him for his so-called documentary, which turned out to be a total sham. They were so close to taking away his Academy Award that he went out, publicly, and said that his "documentary" was actually a "comedy".

All this from a man whom you claim to be a credible source of information.

Well...regardless of whether you like his productions or not, you must acknowledge the fact that he is a flaming liar with no sense of justice. I have never seen any of his productions, so they might be funny, but the truth of the matter is that he is a liar.

And that, folks, is the entire problem with him.

Just thought I'd through in my bit. As I said, you can ban me, showing that you ban without reason.

I look foward to your responses, but I can't promise I'll be back any time soon. Best of luck to all of you.

I largely agree with your opinions on Michael Moore and whilst I enjoyed bowling for Columbine and felt it exercised a good deal of emotional power I was always disinclined to consider it an "intellectual critique" of gun control given what I know about the director.

I'm not quite sure where you're coming from by painting yourself is some kind of freedom of speech martyr. It's not like the moderators are enforcing some kind of totalitarian system designed to repress opinions that deviate from the party line, I've been here a while now and the only people I've seen get deleted have been the ones who've repeatedly flamed in spite of warnings, oh and this one other guy called "Red Arrow" who spammed the general forum for about 6 months before he was erased. His name will live on in folklore.

So does that mean that all of us here who have never met these gentlemen are hypocrites and cannot have an opinion?

Someone else asked if this thread, started by Grace, was against his own rules. Why would that be?

Finally ladies & gentlemen, Mister Moore has announced that he will not now be making the film about Tony Blair. Another 'scoop' for the BBC.

I don't suppose anyone would argue the fact that if Moore was making the same sort of films about Clinton or other democrats, Republicans wouldn't be protesting. I do believe however, that liberals and Democrats would'nt be be so viscious and inflamitory about Moore. Although some would denounce him, they do seem to have a better sense of humour.
