The Republicans? Extreme right wing.
The "Democrats"? Right wing.
The American media? Moderate-heavy right wing.
Most political speakers in America (Rush Limbaugh, Larry King, etc)? At least somewhat right wing.
Micheal Moore? Left wing.
People hate those that are extremely different.
I hated Mike Harris, premier of Ontario for what he did to the school system, which was a very right wing decision.
I hate George Bush because:
a. He is about as far from my political beliefs as he possibly could be without actually BEING a fascist.
b. His arrogance - He probably thought "Team America: World Police" was a bloody documentary.
If I could get away with murdering two people in this world, it would be those two.
I understand the hatred for Micheal Moore from those of you who don't agree with him politically (most obviously the Republicans). I, however, believe he is an ESSENTIAL component of the current American political landscape, as he is the only one offering any sort of different political view right now. The Dems and Reps are WAY too similar in their views for my liking - it leads to a very narrow view of politics.
Americans need real choice. It's part of freedom after all.
