Random bomb throwing about to commence...

Okay. Let's review. The DNC is going on. Moore appeared on O'Reilly. (Along with Affleck, who apparently impressed Bill - I didn't see that particular exchange). There's a lot of commentary being written about who should have said what to whom.

I don't hate Michael Moore. I think he's a little too entertained by his own cleverness, but I get that way myself sometimes. But there are some people who claim that his film is an abuse of the First Amendment. That's absolutely wrong. The First Amendment is there to help protect unpopular speech. It's there to prevent us from shutting each other up. (One could argue that the internet has started to become an even more powerful means than film of allowing people to make unpopular speech). If Michael Moore is saying things that you don't agree with, don't see his movie. That's my personal plan.

But the bickering, the sniping, the hate-mongering has got to go.

Michael Moore today, in a rally I caught on C-Span, calling Republicans "Hate-riots", and implying that Republicans get up at 6:00 AM every morning so they can figure out "which minority to screw today" shows himself to be just as intolerant, just as hating, just as oppressive of others as he accuses the Republican party of being. It's frustrating to see someone that I know is smart be so damn wrong. And

Besides, indications are that we're not out of the woods yet.
