Fuck politics. Also, it always pisses me off when I see some white dude saying how most people are bad... motherfucker should take a look in the mirror.

I thyink Moore comes off as a bit of an ass sometimes, but I would say thats because he's had to deal with the American media who does whatever they can to shut people like him up (you know guys who tell the truth about Bush and his agenda).
In terms of the Oscars, at that time the right was using every public gathering as a forum to credit Bush and "unify" the country against terrorism. If you recall at that time, there was no opposing voice nobody had the balls to speak up against Bush and co. So I give credit to Moore for using a public gathering where a lrge portion of the country would be watching TV to speak up.
Freedom of Speech is just that, and I would tend to argue that a political view that will save thousands of American lives is more important than handing out gold statues to millionaires.
