Except on the simpsons.
You have to admit, though, that the audience for a highly controversial film like "Farenheit 9/11" would be strongly slanted towards people who tend to agree with Moore's views. Conservative types would likely pass it over. Sorta like how your typical audience for "Passion of Christ" would be mostly Christians.

Hence, the applause would come from people who felt that their views were reinforced and validated.
