Overview

Watching Michael Moore in action—manipulating facts in Bowling for Columbine, spinning statistics in Stupid White Men and Dude, Where’s My Country, shamelessly grandstanding at the Academy Awards, and epitomizing the hypocrisy he’s made a king’s fortune tailing agaist—spurred authors David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke to ask themselves, “Dude, where’s your integrity” In Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, the creators of Moorelies.com and Mooreexposed.com have dished it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore’s use of camera tricks, spliced speeches, and publicity plays to present his own truth. “Postwar filmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary,” they write, “and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary.” How, they ask, does Moore pull off a proletarian, “man-of-the-people” image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite And what larger impact do his incendiary, ill-founded messages have on the community that follows him with devotion Loaded with well-researched, solidly reasoned arguments and laced with irreverent wit, Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man fires back at one of the left’s biggest targets—politically and literally.
