  Michael Moore (or ANY documentary filmmaker) does NOT have an obligation to be "balanced". They do have an obligation to tell the truth. I would invite America's Health Insurance Plans or PhRMA or any other front group to underwrite a documentary and provide their own slant on the truth regarding our healthcare system and see which one your average American relates to. I know which film my money would be on.

The right-wingers may try to whitewash history, …

  Nice try at the spin bulldog, are you on the Republican Party payroll??? Your revisionist history will not fly. I am resistant to your pack of lies. The longest economic boon in American history, 25 of 36 years and still going???? What are you smoking???? As an economics graduate student I will not dignify your crude propaganda and embarass you for your lack of understanding of economic history. The time and space required to refute all of your bogus claims are insufficient here. Suffice it to say, we obviously had very differing experiences in the 1980s. I will always know the …
