Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
Michael Moore is a sell-out
Having seen Michael Moore's profoundly ANTI-war documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, I was greatly surprised and disappointed to hear his comments on talkshows recently repudiating Ralph Nader and his candidacy. This is all the more surprising since Moore was a strong supporter of Nader's in his past two runs for president (although, Moore now says he supported Nader only under certain conditions, namely that he wouldn't have a real chance of actually being elected).
Moore now supports the PRO-war John Kerry. Kerry, of course, not only voted yes on the war as a member of the senate, but he also favors the continued occupation of Iraq by US soldiers. Perhaps, Moore is now choosing to go the lesser-of-two-evils route. However, if his anti-war stance was as serious as Fahrenheit 9/11 would seem to indicate, he should be behind Ralph Nader - the only ANTI-war candidate of the three - instead of making the lesser-of-two-evils compromise and supporting the PRO-war John Kerry.
