Summary: ZERO Value
Review: This book is a zero value item. It is completely flawed logic.

It is also a bigoted statement. Why not Stupid Black Men or Stupid Arabs, I guess you know why, because due to guys like this author it is now only politically correct to bash white men.

White men are not bad people, we do lots of hard work and thinking that makes this world work.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: bad research, lazy writer
Review: Moore has some good points on health insurance, but he has so many fallacies and even more statistical errors...It is sad that he has won so many awards for this fiction book which purports to be non-fiction. ... Also, he wrongly quotes and misleads the viewer concerning a campaign video from the 80's. ...
You would think an award-winning book and a video that won many European awards and an oscar that claims to be a documentary would at least be somewhat accurate, or as in the video's case, has a point. Sadly, thousands that read or view these lazy-written or done mediums will not know of their inaccuracy....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Oh, dear
Review: This is a pretty amusing read, and contains some overblown claims along with ideas and observations that are pretty on-target. Certainly, one should come to it with the understanding that it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. I mean, for heaven's sake- look at the title, guys! Let's try to think critically about our world and the opinions of others. Isn't that what the whole freedom of speech thing that this country was based on is about...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Truth
Review: Michael Moore's book tells it like it is. His rants range from guns, racism, corporate greed (in other words, everything our current administration values). Being a minority, most of the things he writes in this book are not new ideas to me. He's just put them down in writing for others to read. While most people who buy this book will have some similar political views as Michael Moore, I think this book should be read by conservatives. Those are the ones that should start seeing things as they are, not as they are told. This books describes situations as they really are. My guess is that people who are offended by this book are ones who have never taken the time to consider somebody else's point of view. It's time to stop accepting things as they are told to us and open our eyes to the truth.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where are the sources?
Review: To get an idea of the book, Amazon.com has some sample chapters posted. I suggest reading them before purchase. While I do not own this book, I read most of it in an airport bookstore.

Some of the work was funny, but mostly in a snide "I hate Republicans, corporations, and it's all a conspiracy" way. Moore has a great way of only showing one side of a story. And this book is much worse at it than "Bowling for Columbine".

But what irks me more than anything is the LACK OF SOURCES. If you're going to use "facts", percentages, statistics, etc. --cite your source!!

If you're brainwashed into thinking you're oppressed by "corporate America" -- this book is for you (and why are you shopping at Amazon.com if you're against corporations?)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Appauling
Review: I checked this book out of the library and was thoroughly appauled. An author who did not even graduate college, spouting his venom filled words about things he has absolutely no knowledge concerning. This is not a non-fiction book. It is a book of opinions that have no factual backing. This is a free country and people have the right to publish whatever they believe. If you are looking for something to somewhat "entertain" you, then you may like this book. If you are looking for something on political issues with hard based documented facts, then get "The Savage Nation" by Michael Savage, which I find more informative.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST READ FOR ANYONE THAT CARES ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY.
Review: This, along with all of Michael Moore's other work is witty, funny, informative, and most of all truthful. Michael Moore is not afraid to do what the american media cannot (or should that be will not?) do and ask the sort of deeply probing questions that they should be asking and politicians made to answer.
I notice that the 2 negative reviews of this book fail to give constructive reasons for their bad reviews, instead both opting for a short rant on Michael Moore. Why? Well because Mr Moore is simply telling the truth and no matter how much pro George Bush supporters may dislike him they cannot deny he is telling the truth.
If you like this book and you are hungry for more then I would highly recommend "Why Do People Hate America?" by Meryl Wyn Davies....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hate and Ignorance from the mouth of a Fat Leftist
Review: It was difficult reading a book that attempted to demonize and alienate anyone whose views differ from his extreme liberal position. The book is an extension of the conspiracy theory campaign which attempts to paint anyone conservative view as stupid, self serving, racist. The book is a joke and would be more appropriately titled Stupid Fat Man.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: ...A fun read overall. Lots of insight, facts and humor. Every white person ought to at least read the chapter Kill Whitey.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book. EVER
Review: I have read probably 250 books in my lifetime and have absolutly no hesitation in saying that this was hands down the best non fiction book that I have ever read. I was liberal before I read it, but many parts absolutly shocked me. I could not believe all that has been going on in the white house behind our backs. If you did not understand or like Mikes oscar acceptance speech, read this book. It explains everything that you WONT hear on CNN, NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, MSNBC, or any other news channel.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
