Michael Mooron, a vituperative bile-spewing syberite, provides irrefutable proof that a full frontal lobotomy is as much a prerequisite to the menagerie of liberal calumny as is hatred of the accomplishments of the Enlightenment and Renaissance.
In a hyperkinetic frenzy typical of liberal America-bashing, Michael Mooron reaches extreme heights of hyperbolic dissembling which breaches the porous divide between fiction and insanity that defines the liberal pantheon. Mooron, incapable of finding anything which his advanced dementia would consider redeeming about the US, proceeds in a cacaphonic wail to prosecute an entire demographic section for the perceived ills which Mooron and liberal drones that follow in his maloderous wake, like a starving rhemoraz feeding on the leavings of a scavanging shark, claim plagues America. Mooron then concludes that this pile of garbage amounts to a mountain of evidence!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A riot to read! Review: Michael Moore's book entitled the sometimes profane "Stupid White Men" is a really outrageous book that combines ideological humor with pragmatic tragedies in real life. I hate to say it but while I'm not racist and this is far from applying this to all Caucasians, but as I've read in history books, it has been whites who have sadly killed more innocent people than all other races combined. A better way to say this is that the actions of a few white individuals are what resulted in millions of deaths and the annihilation of many populations in Australia, Asia, Africa as well as the Americas with colonialism being the prime example of this).
Although it is very true on a lot of basis, the book overall isn't to be taken completely seriously. Some of the parts are outrageous that even I find to be not far from the border of ludicrous such as the "End of Men" chapter. I mean, I strongly doubt that the male gender is ever going to die out! Geesh! Although I am definitely aware of some of the weaknesses of the male gender but I don't buy the whole thing of us being a lot weaker but I do know that in general, men do have a tendency to abuse themselves more as well as participate in far more risky activity that is detrimental to their health. Perhaps that's why women in general tend to have a greater longevity than men.

Michael Boor's the GREAT SATAN. He's absolutely no right to express opinions at all. Abused free speech has traditionally been burial grounds to reputations of other populist ideologues who take over people's partialities and solicit them more of their imbalanced biases. Boor's "writing style" is frenetically frenzied, submissively depending more on gullibly excitable liberals' neediness for some charlatan figurehead to organize their dreadfully unfounded conspiracy theories into a mock Bible for them to subordinate to. In the laughably illegal "Notes & Sources", Boor's culpable of failing to provide documentation that'll prove his ungrounded, hysterical libel beyond half-truth.
In Chapter 1-solely exploitation for him to swear about his CONCUBINE Nader not winning-this jerk-off usurps skewed "news-reports", which further dishonestly sustain his impositions, enabling him to forge entire chapters of concealment. Boor chicanes that Republicans sabotaged Florida's election through disenfranchising Blacks. Boor hides the preeminence that 13 other states disallowed ex-convict Blacks from voting. Demoncrats cheaply seized on this circumstantial illusion because Florida was the only state where they could charge suspicions, because of the voting chaos. Boor covers-up Gore's shame of getting 445 contraband "votes"-with 5000 projected illegal votes statewide-from these same felons Demoncrats battled to include!!!! Regarding absentee ballots, Boor conceals the mortal conundrum Demoncrats faced upon contesting the overseas votes for Bush. The shortcoming Demoncrats routed themselves when there wasn't mathematical certainty to determine who would've won between Bush and Gore, within that Demoncratic-challenged overseas vote-counting, and by appearing traitorous to the military!!!! For these ignominious reasons, scores of lost-soul mongoloids who blaspheme that Boor's endnotes are "authoritative" should be censured.
Boor's cancer of exploiting societies' KUCKLEDRAGGERS (LIBERALS) is chronically blatant in Chapter 2, where Boor sells people their own narrow-mindedness in willfully believing Prescott Bush's Nazi-financier accusations. I'm forcibly encharged with EDUCATING the unclean liberals who succumb to Boor's dictatorship. What Boor overrides is those brandings at Prescott Bush are just circumstantial hearsays of a self-righteous "Nazi Hunter", Loftus-who's untamed due to hypersensitivity of being Jewish-founded on the mystery "testimony" of some secondary contact's "informant", and a calamity of CONJECTURE!!!! Chapter 2 disreputably illustrates Boor's and Demoncrats' tumor ever since the 2000 elections, as Boor dictates one chapter for Bush's defaming.
Boor's convicted for being retarded, in how inexperienced he's to touch a subject. In Chapter 3, Boor inexpertly mishandles observing the economy and stock markets. This jerk-off combines fabrication with exploiting the even worse cretinism of his zealot liberal subjects. Boor nervously overhypes that the three-year downwardness in the economy's only applicable to "working people", while the "rich" are "wallowing in loot". Disregard CEOs symbolically taking $1 salaries, or forgoing them altogether, in any recession, companies will reduce costs through layoffs, and this economic stagnation's a worldwide event; observe Europe and Asia-Boor's invalid in his incitement of envy towards the rich. By seniority laws, the middle class is going to be the first terminated, although this recession was different because layoffs were contaminating even administrative and managerial positions. Boor next mistreats the imposed connection between his inapplicably narrow observations and the broader economy, misappropriating that because of the "rich" in his luxury building, the economy must be smoking.
Another detestability of Boor's is his untiring sensationalism of petty issues, convulsing in affected frenzy!!!! In Chapter 7, he obscenely confirms his stooping to unbelievable self-dislike, pretexting to side with anti-male, zealous feminists everywhere to schemingly ensnare that demographic to patronize his book. Boor maltreats abstract statistics of female-male disparity in administrative positions to embellish that women haven't made progress in liberation, which is based on such constricted criteria, its validity is debased. All one's to do is perceive PC decisions that constantly collapse in overwhelming favor for women-child custody, benefit of doubt in rape allegations, and sexual harassment allegations (to name a few)-to garner that women, like blacks, are tyrannically more protected in PC society than white males!!!! Boor imposes double-standards. He mocks males as "the weaker sex", yet after citing degrading statistics about more women being under the poverty rate, men are instantly backslid to positions of subjecting women. Boor prevaricates "women still earn less", despite Census Bureau statistics affirming women at record highs in earnings and bachelor-degree holdings, and comprising 45% of executive/managerial occupations in 2002. Women attempt suicide three times greater, and endure depressive, anxiety and eating disorders furiously more, while Boor conceals these to scorn males as "going extinct"!!!! This disparagingly illustrates Boor's nuisance-sickness of misallocating data bent to his agendas to allegedly "support" his one-sidedness.
In impious Chapter 11, Boor sinks to all-out fraud!!!! Boor arraigns the angry, anti-abortion Republicans, like Hatch and Thompson, of relapsing their anti-abortion stands for their selfish benefit of helping their loved ones. The pitfall with Boor's warp is that those Republicans weren't contesting for the destruction of embryos-they were challenging for only EXISTING cells to be used in research, which wouldn't be genocide because existing cells were already slated for destruction; thus they were actually turning cells' inevitable massacres into philanthropy.
My tireless disclosures of Boor's inordinate abjections could continue indefinitely to include every last contradiction, hyperventilation, chicanery, affectedness, demagoguery towards easily fooled, undereducated LIBERALIDIOTS, partiality, and subservience toward frailer societies and governments found in every page!!!! Boor despises religion, dislikes Capitalism's empowerment of persons to establish themselves, sneers minorities and women are incapable of equal performance to white men-facilitating Boor's mistreatment to demand charity for minorities and women instead-and detests whites. Boor's the most poisonous imposter because it's unconventionally difficult for someone to have such daunting moral codes that he'd selflessly disparage himself before others. Boor's a cunning plotter, victimizing impurely paranoid liberals to fanatically misallocate his smut as something authoritative. The insane, bloodthirsty psychopaths who discombobulated Boor's smut as "well-researched" are MENTALLY ILL!!!! The crumbling evidence of plagiarizing biased internet reports from journalists refutes that. These lowest bottom-feeding, troglodyte liberals suffering from Boor-subjection are direly in NEED of significant learning and getting their dissipated minds OUT of the GUTTER. I SPIT ON liberals!!!!
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Political Correctness 101 Review: If only my command of the English language were better I would start writing for living. I think I would follow the footsteps of Michael Moore and write fiction. Yes, fiction. Contrary to what some reviewers say, "Stupid white men..." is not a political analysis. It's fiction. It's Michael Moore's way to brag about how he has all American problems (and some foreign too) figured and knows how to fix them. And in his mind the root of all the evil are people just like him - white men.
In case you haven't noticed Mr. Moore, coming up with bad ideas is not limited to white people. Yes, Hitler was white and so were many other dictators. But then we've seen guys like François 'Papa Doc' Duvalier of Haiti or Jean-Bédel Bokassa of the Central African Republic. I doubt you would want to live under their leadership. Communist China isn't a nice place either. Unlike Bush, Chairman Mao didn't allow your kind of criticism. His opponents simply disappeared, rather quickly. And then there was Cambodia under Pol Pot, and more recently Rwanda and Sudan.
You wouldn't credit Europeans with inventing slavery if you read a story by a guy named Moses about his experience in Egypt long time ago.
As you can see cruel dictatorship is truly an equal employment opportunity business. Even if all white people disappeared from the face of the earth our world would not be different than it is today.

Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: And yes, I'm a Democrat Review: I am one of the most democratic people you could ever meet. Nonetheless I was certainly quite dissapointed by Stupid White Men. What I had hoped would be a moderately cohesive and funny critique of dirty American politics turned out to be a poorly written, stupid, offensive and largely unconvincing attempt at more fame, which increasingly seems unwaranted.
The book, which ranges from topic to topic about the paucity of American politics, ends up spending the most time and effort on Moore's most useless arguments. One of the longest chapters in the book is about Moore's personal beliefs that white people are more scary and mean than black people. He goes on to say that all the bad experiences he has had in his life were caused by white people. The question is what in god's name this has to do with anything. I'm moderately convinced that nobody reading the book is harboring a secret belief that white people are nicer than blacks.
But instead of simply writing the chapter and then moving on (or just giving up on the book), Moore continuously seems to refer back to it, somehow using this anserine argument as some sort of cornerstone for diatribes to come. And they do. And they get steadily worse and less relevant.
I could stand and enjoy that if Moore could write, but having no literary skills whatsoever somewhat dulls the nonexistant humor. I (no exaggeration) was bored two pages into the intro. That never changed. Reading this piece of trash was a real effort.
And I could have worked through it happily if there was something important said. The real truth is that, apart from an enlightening chapter on Clinton, nothing was of any real political interest. Most followed the vein of the anti-white crap. The whole book was just peurile.
Please. PLEASE. Pay attention to this review and don't buy the book. Since I feel bad about this, some other great liberal authors to read:
Al Franken (all his stuff is really funny and actually interesting.)
Senator Byrd is pretty good
And everybody in this country should read FAst Food Nation (Eric Schlosser) - THe best journalistic piece I have ever read. Truly a masterpiece. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THAT ONE.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Right on, Michael Moore Review: Liberals these days have fewer and fewer educated, well-informed people willing to speak out for our side, especially in this country of 'red states' where raising questions about the current administration is seen as unpatriotic and 'liberal' is suddenly a bad word. Between FOX news and AM talk radio shows, alot of brainwashing has been going on and the media is increasingly one-sided. Enter Michael Moore, who is not afraid to criticize, speak his mind, point out glaring facts that have been completely ignored by the media, and generally confirm my suspicions about the Bush administration and its big business ties, cuts in social programs, disregard for the environment, support of religion in government, military aggression, and overall lack of progressive vision.
I think the most important statistic of the book is that Gore won the 2000 election by 539,898 votes but was cheated out of the presidency by an unstoppably corrupt GOP, headed by George Bush.
Moore delves into other important issues, including the increasing stupidity of Americans (obvious from this last election's result), racial inequality, corporate greed, our distressing foreign policy, and the weakness of democrats in the legislature. Very much a thought provoking book that everyone should read.

Review: Michael, my man, the country and the world owes you a debt of gratitude for helping put the Prez back in the "Big House," as you might call it. In return, here's some free advice. Enough of the whining, already! It's not good for body or soul. I have two children, I know.
Not that everything in your book is bad. You've got a decent sense of humor. You're not Dave Barry funny, but you might be Andy Rooney funny. ("What is it about White People?" "Have you ever noticed how races that survive the Holocaust often end up oppressing innocent Palestinian terrorists?") The problem is you just seem glum about everything. You sound like that junior high Catholic school rebel of thirty years ago, still building yourself up by tearing "the establishment" down, even when you're richer than twenty of us average quadralingual, professorial-type Republicans put together. Isn't it more fun drawing mustaches on Mona Lisa, than trying to paint the darn thing? You don't have to worry if strokes go wild. Throw out ten thousand "facts" and people who feel your rage are bound to buy some of them. (And your next book).
Sure, I know, George Bush is an illiterate alcoholic, felon, deserter, crybaby and thief. Sure, China, Pakistan, Russia, and Vietnam all have presidents, but our banana republic has to make do with a "president," our voting procedures being so much more problematic than theirs, what with that arch right-wing ideologue, Sandra Day O'Conner, on the Supreme Court and all. No doubt on the day he took office, the planet spun out of its orbit, the oceans turned to brine, and electrons refused to whirl around protons anymore. Sure, black conservatives are "freeks" and "Uncle Toms." (Liberalism has come a long way since the 60s, eh? Now you can call black people names again!) And of course asking the UN to invade the US is only common sense.
But surely you can find something to be cheerful about, Michael. Take a vacation, man. Work off a few of those pounds skin diving among the reefs and fishes of the Bermuda you so admire.
The rest of you left-wing folks, if politics are getting you down, rather than buy this silly paranoia, or moving to Islamic Marseilles, as some of my fellow conservatives might suggest, stay with us, and read some Chesterton for a change. He'll laugh you sane, not mad. It definitely feels better.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Full of stereotypes and half-truths Review: Moore seems bent on making broad generalizations about large segments of the American public, particularly if they're the conservative, church-going type. I did gain a few grains of grudging respect for him: he's an eagle scout and believes in getting involved instead of just complaining. The book is funny in parts, but mostly derisive humor, which is annoying from the left and right. And don't buy the line that this book isn't liberal and hard core left. When Moore is criticizing Clinton et al, it's for not being a true lefty. Interesting book, but I wouldn't use it as a solid argument for the left.
