Summary: Why are people afraid of someone speaking out?
Review: I enjoyed this book from begining to end, as a foreigner I found that many of the statements that Michael Moore wrote are known and commented on international media.
I do not believe this book is meant to be anti american as some people say, I understand some people feel ofended, but they should not say that Michael Moore should leave the country!!, that is only proving that he is right, if we talk about freedom and democracy then he has the right to speak out.
People have to read this book with an open mind, there are some acusations and opinions that really blow your mind, if half of them are true then there is a lot to be done.
I recomend this book, it will be hard for some people to read, but it is worth the time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dude, Wheres My Country
Review: Fantastic Book,Michael Moore hit a home run with this one. I personally checked some of the more intriguing facts and found them to be right on the money. If our public would just read Michael and Al Franken there wouldn't be any more worry about the screwing we are taking from this administration. Thank you for this insightful and humorous book

Summary: Another Brilliant Work By Michael Moore
Review: I just put down this book. It was simply amazing. It was just as much of an eye-opener on the issues as Mr. Moore's movie "Bowling for Columbine." Michael Moore has taken the role of national whistleblower to a new level. Buy this book and VOTE.. you'll be glad you did.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Moorerawkz.com
Review: This was an actual conversation I heard from two well known stoners at my high school.
''Dude, you remember watching that one movie that was all anti guns and had Marilyn Manson in it?''
''You mean that Bowling For Columbine movie?''
''Yeah! That movie was awesome! Everything he says is right in there. Bush must really be stupid.''
''I know. Everything he says is true. Everything''
''I bought his new book Dude, Where's My Country. Its really good''
''Haha, like that one movie Dude, Where's My Car? Hahaha. Michaels funny and smart. I like that in people.''

Michael Moore uber alles. After all his views are ''right on target''. For a man whose opposed to many corporations and would like to see a change in our democratic society, I think its wonderful to see him have commercials about his own book no less on national television. Even the chance to be able to watch the Academy Awards and hear him whining about Bush. Haha, poor Michael. You only made one of the most profitable documentaries in the world and have converted many uptight conservative Middle Class teens into pot smoking liberal ones. You seem to be doing just fine. This book isnt any different than some neighbor of yours who complains about his sprinkler system going on your lawn rather than his own. Only this is made by an overweight millionaire liberal who degrades Bush simply by quoting all the silly things he's said and pronounced. Yes Michael, we know Bush isnt that smart. Yes, we know he's our president. Yes, there are people out there who could have his occupation and do a much better job than he is doing. But havent you said this in your last two books and your critically over-acclaimed documentary? Tell us something we dont know. Your waisting our time and money, and you seem to be waisting yours too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What will it be Michael, humor or facts?
Review: Moore wants his writings to be regarded as facts, but continues to tell critics that they have no case -- since he is writing humor.

Do yourself a favor and read this book for humor, and not any factual content (because there isn't any).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dude, you come from Canada!
Review: This book is pathetic and anyone who believes in this garbage is stupid. It basically states that Republicans are bad, and Bush sucks. There you go. Oh and by the way, if you hate our country so much why don't you move somewhere else scumbag

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Occasionally humorous amidst weak arguments and void of fact
Review: Look at the cover and find all you need to know. Michael Moore takes the fact the George W. Bush lies about being conservative and can't keep unemployment low, and turns him into the worst character since Ramses II of Biblical Egypt. Connections to the bin Laden family? The argument is weak, weak enough that I could make a similar connection between Moore and every now late communist filmmaker.

The humor, or attempted humor, in the book is somewhat worthwhile. I for one don't understand why political manifestos need humor, but I suppose Moore feels he's completely uncredible and a total bore without it. After all, he's not a political genius, just a guy with hard-core opinions. Opinions which occassionally include bashing of the left-wing. This is a refreshing tack to take, albeit the arguments are short.

I don't care which side Moore wants to attack, he does a poor job of it. I don't want to read that George W. Bush is stupid for the 642nd time, just like I don't want to read how fat Ted Kennedy is. While Moore presents arguments reasonable at the ground level, he fails to develop anything significantly, and simply insinuates that the vast majority of Americans are liberal. Apparently he figures if he plants the seeds, we'll all grow from there. Unfortunately, however, for one seeking worthwhile commentary, Moore comes up empty. The book is sketchy, bounces from topic to topic unexpectedly, and offers up no great incentive to join his bellicose mission.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Lyndon LaRouche would love this book!
Review: Let's see now, 9/11 was sponsered by Enron and Haliburton not Osama bin Laden, since poor Osama has a kidney disease. Bush was in S.A.C. following the 9/11 attacks, which is standard military procedure when our nation is under attack, and according to Moore, "any dunderhead knew that if hijacked planes are being used as missles, the last place you wanna be is up there flying around", adding to Bush's culpability was the expression on his face when first told of the attack which was not a genuine one according to Moore. These are just a sampling of the kind of "facts" and "evidence" Moore uses to "expose" the Bush administration and its "allies" as conspriators in the 9/11 attacks. Moore's hatred of George Bush is well known and he has made plenty of money from it traveling the world on book tours, talkshows, anti-war demonstrations and the lecture circuit Anyone familiar with his writings that concern Bush or post-Clinton-era politics will realize that stuff like this can be written off as the usual radical extremist fare. I mean, can even the most casual observer of politics take seriously a work entitled 'Dude, Where's My Country'? The title of the book itself predicts the inanities that are to follow therein. Don't get me wrong, I generally like books like these that expose politicians with hard-hitting prose whether written from a left or right perspective. But Moore's treatise, while attempting to read like an eye-opening expose, uses highly questionable sources and makes several factually untrue accounts along with a sprinkling of LaRouche-like accusations ensuring that the book will never be taken seriously except for the small but vocal contingent of Bush-haters and America-haters. An example of this is Moore's account of Wesley Clark's claim that the Bush White House called him and asked him to tie Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 attacks. Yet Moore conveniently fails to tell us that Clark later recanted that statement. In a book that claims to be "thouroughly researched and foot-noted" an egregious omission such this as well as several others will certainly not detract from Moore's reputation as a highly unscrupulous political partisan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW amazing research
Review: Its amazing how much research has been performed to write this book, yet many hard headed conservatives still think its bunk.

Wake up!

Summary: Thank you, Mr. Moore
Review: Dear Mr. Moore:

Thank you, sir. Thank you for doing the hard work of investigating this awful mess Mr. Bush has gotten us into. This is a great book that informs the American people of how a man (who they did not elect) is ruining our country. It is true that people get the government they deserve...so if people elect Mr. Bush in 2004 even after this information is so easily at our disposal...the hell in store for us will be of our making.

Thank you for speaking the truth, as you always have, even when it has been very, very unpopular to do so.

Thank you for reminding us that to be an American doesn't mean blindly supporting the Commander-in-Chief in wartime if our conscience is telling us that that war is unjust and being carried out under sinister motives. That is not cowardly...that is bravery at its essence. Remember, it took years for people to see how unjust the Vietnam War was and yet we still honor and are grateful to our veterans.

Thank you for baring the brunt of attacks from moronic hypocrites like Dennis Miller and James Woods, who went on the Tonight Show and ridiculed you: they were well armed with fat jokes but couldn't offer reasons why you were wrong in calling Mr. Bush and the war "fictitious." They, like many shallow people, will have to eat their words as the truth surfaces. I wonder what they have to say at this point about all the lives lost as no Weapons of Mass Destruction are being found. You, Mr. Moore, could sit back and say, "Hey, I told you so." Yet, you won't do that...people like you never do. Instead, you'll continue to speak for the people of this country who have had enough.

To those responsible, OK...the joke is over...bring back our Constitution! Stop sending American G.I.s off to die. Stop slaughtering innocent Iraqis. Stop alienating the rest of the world. Stop taking away our civil liberties. Stop thumbing your nose at the United Nations, that esteemed body that has prevented World War III for over 50 years. Stop dishonoring the 3000 dead from 9/11 by using that day as an excuse to get you ultraconservative policies passed.

Thank you, Mr. Moore for doing the hard work of reiterating these ideas at a time when many people are afraid to speak the truth or even allow themselves to understand the truth. In short...thank you for being brave...for being a true American.
