Watch Michael Moore's interview with Larry King.

(CNN)—Outspoken documentary film-maker Michael Moore said Wednesday night Hillary Clinton is trying to scare voters away from casting a ballot for Barack Obama.

In a wide ranging interview, Moore told CNN’s Larry King he found the Clinton campaign’s recent approach “disgusting.”

“For her to try and make white—white working class, as they say — people vote for her and not for him, to frighten them with words like ‘Hamas’ and ‘Farrakhan’” was unnecessary, he said. “I think at some point she’s going to be disappointed in herself for having done that.”

The 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker, who endorsed Obama’s presidential bid on his Web site one day before Pennsylvania’s critical April 22, said Wednesday he can’t support anyone who voted for an “immoral war [that] should have never happened,” and repeated his calls for Clinton to apologize for her Iraq war vote, as Sen. John Kerry and former Sen. John Edwards have done.

But Moore said the campaign should center on the idea that John McCain is four more years of George W. bush,” and “not [on] what an elderly black man is saying because […] we’re not voting for Reverend Wright.”

Ithink Michael Moore is a fantastic documentaries maker !!! I know that the truth about our government is hard to accept but he m. tatics don't work and he is going to be the nominee. GO OBAMA 2008-2012 !!!

Jot   May 1st, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Senator Clinton has a plan for universal health care for all Americans, Moore should take a chance and have one to help him lose weight. We need healthy people to surstain our economy

O Man   May 1st, 2008 2:44 pm ET

Clinton wants to go negative against Obama and anything positive he has to offer. This only negates her campaign altogether. The republiccans are always going on the negative against their political rivals. Case in point with the Rev. Wright issue. Does this man have power in goverment policies? Did Wright tell us to invaded Iraq? Did he cause the gas prices rising to the sky? Did he have anything to do with home foreclosures? No! The Bush administration is responsible. In 2000, Bush was allowed to steal that electiion. Then voted in the office in 2004 by some of the people who are suffering from those very questions asked. Now you to blame Rev. Wright, a man of God. Heathens all of you!

JACQUES AGBOR   May 1st, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Hillary,s contention that she has more experience than Obama is SANS substance.Her "acclaimed" experience would have enabled her to judge that the Iraq war was going to be bad for America.How much presidential experience did her husband have before becoming President of the U.S.A ?Obama,s judgement to vote against the war in Iraq will enable him to answer that call at 3 am and provide a solution to whatever impending problem.After 4 years of Bush,s experience in the White House,taking any half baked presidential experience to that House is a BIG DISADVANTAGE to America.

errrr   May 1st, 2008 2:35 pm ET

It is the typical logic Obama and his supporters have: If you don’t vote for Obama, you are cowards, racists, anti-American.

What a “positive” campaign they are running!

no2osama   May 1st, 2008 2:33 pm ET

What makes him so creditable? If you think your imput counts for anything then let's just see how big your bowls are, run for pres yourself if you know so much. Who the heck is affraid? Not me, but we should all fear the ULTRA-LEFT take-over of this country. Drugs, gangs, dealers, cho-mos, like yourself are welcome in America, but you ain't taking it over, sorry, get your own country if you want that kind of sick society. Lose some weight and get a job, go see a pastor or something you sicko.

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON WE LOVE YOU 2008 !!!

Hey, when Obama loses you and him can feel free to smoke all the crack you want to again. Sicko pervert.

Linda   May 1st, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Grow up Moore! You don't think Farrakhan is scarey? Try being Jewish and see how it feels. Do you agree with him that the holocaust never happened and that Israel was responsible for 911? There's a thing people don;t realize about extremists like Farrakhan — he is just like HItler and the Klan. He may hate the Jews the most, but he will get around to hating others. And what about Hamas? Once they wipe out Israel, they'll come after all non-Muslim Americans — perhaps all Americans. Do you think they'd consider your politics and spare you? I used to be a fan of yours, but you don't have a clue here!

Over Here in Chicago   May 1st, 2008 2:28 pm ET

AMEN!! Finally someone who makes sense. What Hillary has stooped to in her campaign is fear tactics and she should be ashamed. Thank you Michael Moore

Philly   May 1st, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Let's re-cap shall we? The Clinton's invite Rev. Wright to pray for Bill at a breakfast after he almost threw away his life's work for an indescretion. Hillary lies about snipper fire. Living in "Killadelphia" you know gunfire when you hear it and you don't feel the need to lie about it. Hillary manufactures a trip to the gas station to pretend she is a regular Jo-Ann. Hillary thinks the American people can't do the math and we will mortgage the next four years on a $30 savings. Most importantly, she admits she didn't read the memo that would have given her the intelligence needed to say NO to an unjust war at the very beginning. I don't know about you but I don't like liars and I don't appreicate being taken for granted.

Bobby   May 1st, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Michael Moore is an absolute slob. He makes it sound like all Republicans are evil and then he has the nerve to say things and make movies that only see his point of view. If Hillary gets the nomination, he'll be one of her loudest supporters I'm not a McCain or Clinton supporter, but Michael Moore needs to get over himself.

Jon   May 1st, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Michael Moore having any political leverage is laughable.

The man is out of his mind.

Becky, Huntsville   May 1st, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Is she power hungry, devious, delusional, dishonest or phoney?

All of the above. Billary will do ANYTHING to win back the White House. Shame on her! Sniper fire in Bosnia? Shame on her! Tearing apart the party? Shame on her. She is trying to scare the voters away from voting for Obama. Shame on her!

Obama '08

Ron   May 1st, 2008 2:22 pm ET

first connect the dots from AYRES TO WRIGHT TO FARRAKAHN TO REZKO as well as others.then facter in the quote in his book where he says he chooses his friends wisely you may even wonder why most of his opponents during his political campaigns were suddenly disqualified or withdrew (it was tried again with MCCAIN) AND YOU YOURSELF MAY START TO WONDER.

Mary, North Carolina   May 1st, 2008 2:22 pm ET

CLINTON HAS SCARE VOTERS :

WITH HER VOTE TO GO TO WAR

WITH HER 3 AM AD

WITH HER BRINGING REV. WRIGHT OUT OF THE CLOSET

WITH HER OSAMA BIN LADEN AD

WITH HER TRYING TO COUNT MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WITH HER BOSNIA SNIPER FIRE AND NAFTA LIES!!!

I THINK THAT THIS IS PRETTY DARN SCARY!!!!

Uncle Sam   May 1st, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I feel for John McCain. He has been mistreated badly, worst than most of us can imagine. Not to say anything about his POW experience. Many of us don't seem to know what to make of him. He's a conservative! No, he's a liberal! Wait, he's a moderate! The truth is that John is just trying to be himself within a political system that insists he remain in a political box. John is everyman. He's doing the best he can, under difficult circumstances, to remain true to himself and the country he loves. Call me idealistic, but I believe he's the American president Americans have been waiting for. They just don't know it yet.

Americans for McCain '08

Olivia   May 1st, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Stop bashing Hillary, Michael. Support who you want…….it doesn't mean you should try to dissuade others from supporting her.
obama should refuse your support because you are as dubious as some of his other radical friends.

Rob   May 1st, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Micheal Moore…. A big man with little words. No one cares about his opinion. He's not even a serious director. Clinton is going to win, Obama is sliding in all polls. Clinton is about to climb over the mountain so get ready.

mollygonz   May 1st, 2008 2:15 pm ET

You go Michael Moore! Speak the truth, I love it! How can anyone support someone who uses scare tactics to get votes? Hillary should be ashamed of herself. I wonder sometimes about the people who support her. What kind of people they must be…scary.

Tim   May 1st, 2008 2:12 pm ET

I really don't understand Clinton supporters:
You rant about how Obama is untrustworthy but your candidate has flip flopped on several key issues: NAFTA, Iraq war, "sniper fire"
You claim that Clinton will be the stronger candidate against McCain:
Then why is the GOP attacking Obama to give Hillary the nomination?
You even attack Obama supporters saying that they have no wisdom or knowledge of the world and are simply swayed by a few empty words:
They could say the same about you claiming that Hillary only wins the votes of the senile and uneducated whites who are afraid of black president.

As a British citizen who has watched this election from the outset, I must say that I have been disgusted with the negative campaign that Hillary has run. She's the one who's on the ropes and is more concerned about winning than the American people. If by some fluke she gets the superdelegates on her side, I really hope the American people see through her lies and do not elect her to executive office and further tarnish America's image overseas through her brain-dead foreign policy:

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Her words, not mine. Do the right thing America and don't vote for this woman…

Pamela   May 1st, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Why are you guys deleting my posts???? Is it because you don't like the critism of your slanted reporting and attacks on Obama?

Alston   May 1st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Anyone who criticizes Moore because of his dislike of Hillary's campaign should also remember that he didnt like Obama at the beginning of the primaries.

Moore may not be eloquent but was spot on about Hillary and Obama.

Don't smoke that stuff during business hours!!!

Ron   May 1st, 2008 2:08 pm ET

why do people accuse Hillary of attempting to destroy Obama's character.Hell she didn't even know him when Ayers threw is first fund raising party'and it wasn't her that told him to write books acknowledging his friend and pastor the Rev. Wright.as he says in his book he chooses his friends wisely. It wasn't Hillary that told him to get Tony Rezko involved in a shady real estate deal.Hillary didn't tell him to make up a story about JFK paying his dad's ticket to the USA or saying his parents met four years after he was born. these are the things that Obama is made of and there is a lot more that as not even been touched yet so don't blame Sen.Clinton or anybody but Sen Obama for his character.Are you supporters that stupid that you will vote for someone just because he talks a good game so did Bush

musicnme   May 1st, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Hillary wants to start war with Iran (AND YES ANOTHER WAR WE HAVE TO PAY FOR).

Please watch Good monrning America interview on "Youtube". Hillary said we will attack Iran….SHE IS SCARY…STARTING ANOTHER WAR (she also supported Iraq war!) This is why we shouldn't vote for Hillary. She has poor judgement. She will be continuing disaster for our country!!!! Wow, how this woman can be so stupid!

john   May 1st, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Obliberate Iran? Hillary, you fool! Then we will be obliberated.
You war fool. What an idiotic thing to say on National T.V. to show
how "experienced" you are. Go sit on the Porch with the "retired"

Jay from San Diego, Ca   May 1st, 2008 2:05 pm ET

To Sharon Minnesota:

What has the CLinton's done for "some black?"

They do what politicians do, and Sen. Obama is no different. He want's all the votes he can get. Only difference is he come off as more sincere. and not calculated like the Clintons.

Tony, Miami   May 1st, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Michael Moore “I think at some point she’s going to be disappointed in herself for having done that.”
No Sir she won't, the gauge on her morality is next to zero.

Nando, Florida   May 1st, 2008 2:05 pm ET

I'm soory Mr Moore Hillary will not care what she says to damage Obama she is a LOW AS THE COME!!!!!!!!!!

SHE IS A SHAMELESS BITTER OLD HAG !!!!!!!!

AL0526   May 1st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Anyone who would rather vote for McCain just because Obama may get the Nomination is a human waste. How iditioc is that?? You would rather have another 4 years of no jobs, people losing their homes, fighting in Iraq, an econimic recession, super high food and gas prices, rather than have an African-American as President!!

If the majority of white Americans feel that way, then we all better brace ourselves because America is headed for disaster, all because some people can't get over skin color. Then maybe America will deserve whatever happens!!

Obama 08!

Status QuO.   May 1st, 2008 2:02 pm ET

He has a right to his opinion. HOWEVER, Obama can't possibly see him as a positive endorsement. Conservatives HATE this guy. This will be yet another reason why they will NOT vote for Obama in November.

richard   May 1st, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Obamabots, You may be blind but you cant place a blindfold over the American public. Obama is unelectable period. You must get over your so called loyalty and do what is best for the Democratic party……….

Jane MN   May 1st, 2008 2:02 pm ET

To Debby:

I didn’t do my research on this but I’ll take your statement as the fact. The question, however, would be: do you equate “regret” to “apologize?” Obviously you do. But I personally can’t and therefore won’t. I have no slightest doubt that Hillary deeply regrets now that she voted for the war. It’s the “why” or “what for” behind her “regret” bothers me, and that’s how she lost my vote.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Michael Moore has taken a bad rap because the people that hated him spoke up. Some, believed that what he was saying was possibly true or absolutely true. I believed Michael but did not say one thing. Personally, I like him, It takes a lot of "courage'
to speak the truth. American's deserve and crave the truth. Michael more has more "courage' than most "politicians".that I see. The Clintons are like, "The Bonnie and Clydes of American Politics". To have their life exposed, now, would be a sure lose for the Clinton's who are about to be the ruin of America.
READ UP FOLKS!

Clear Vision   May 1st, 2008 2:00 pm ET

It's a shame that Mr. Moore didn't agree with the HRC politics of fear and smear. Since she was losing on the issues, she chose to emulate the Karl Rove and destroy the Democratic party in the process. If you watch the whole interview, even the die-hard Clinton supporters would have to agree with Moore's observations.

For those of you who are obsessed with the Wright controversy and the fear of his philosphy on Obama, check back in time (around 10 years ago) during the Clinton's impeachment throes. You'll discover that it was one Rev. Jeremiah Wright giving spiritual advice to William Jefferson Clinton. And you fault Obama for Wright's rantings 20 years ago? What hypocritical idiots!

For those who threaten to change parties if HRC isn't the Dem candidate — good riddance! You were phony Democrats anyway, just like Hillary.

MICHAEL MOORE IS BELLYFULL OF CRAP AND IS ON A PROMOTIONAL TV APPEARANCE TOUR FOR HIS MOVIE WHATEVER IT IS. WE HAVE YET TO SEE HIM MAKE A DIFFERENCE
FOR ALL HIS TV PROMOTIONAL APPEARANCES.
THE TITLE OF ONE OF HIS MOVIES BY THE WAY IS " SICKO"
GO FIGURE IT OUT.

That is one of the BEST interviews in the last few weeks. Finally someone came out and put Hillary in her place and brought up a lot of important points about Hillary that we have forgotten.

I am happy Michael is voting for Obama. God bless you.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

The WORSE thing that can happen to American right now is a MCCain or a Republican Pres. or a Clinton (Bill and Hillary) Presidency. The ABSOLUTE WORSE THING. BILL AND HILLARY
ARE NOT HEROES. THEY ARE ROBBERS OF OUR JOBS AND LAND.
VERY SELF SERVING COUPLE.

Krystyna from Chicago   May 1st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Voters has their mind already made up. You all Obama's supporters or CNN or any other is not going to change. All that politycal games are fulish !!!!
Media are big impact on the peoples feelings about the election, but remember Americans had been leavin beter in past time, they remember good life in 90s, Clinton time. You or any politycal or media figure won't change that. SORRY !!!! You are very naive people. obamamaniaks !!!! He never showed any sign of that he is good as a person or professional, beside that he was tide to REZKO, corrupted Chicago persona !!!! NO !!!! WAY !!!! obama will be somone, who will change the COUNTRY !!!!
VOTE FOR HILLARY !!!!!!!!

Rose   May 1st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

A few things:

Any one who would make it thier goal to crush peoples hopes and dreams, while offering nothing in return except fear and hatred, then that person is unacceptable as a Presidential Candidate.

America is a great and honorable nation, founded on Godly principles. This very fact gives me hope that we can, and will move past the Wright issue.

I believe Barack Obama's footsteps are ordered by God. That he was born for such a time as this. I know this controversy will make him a better candidate. This experience can best be described as iron sharpening iron. He can only become better - sharper.

It is a compliment to Barack Obama's good standing as a human being that both Senators Clinton and McCain have banded together to attack him.

With God for him - Who can stand against him?

gjones   May 1st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Why isn't anyone just looking at the math of the race? Give Clinton KY, WV, and, yes, even IN with 60% majorities, and all Obama has to do is split each of the remaining undecided states with her and pick up 32% of the uncommitted superdelegates to win this thing. Clinton is done, they should take her out of the oven, already, and get on with the main event.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Michael Moore has taken a bad rap because the people that hated him spoke up and chastised him. But, the people that were not sure, believed that what he was saying was possibly true or absolutely true.
I believed Michael for the most part but did not say one thing or another. Personally, I like him and I know it takes a lot of "courage'
to speak the truth. American's deserve the truth. Americans crave the truth. And, Michael more has more "courage' than most "politicians".
that I see. The Clintons are like, The Bonnie and Clydes of American Politics and to have their life exposed at this very moment would be a sure lose for the Clinton's who are about to be the ruin of America.

That time 70% Americans trust Bush and most of the media beating drum about Iraq from late 90s
We can’t point the finger to One person

Obama #1   May 1st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Clinton critics says Obama can't win the big states. If half of Clinton supporters (true Democrats) vote for Obama in November, he would win every state by a landslide going by the Republican primary turnout. And it would be the same if the tables were turned.

Mike - Texas   May 1st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

This is a guy whose "documentaries" ( and I use the word loosely ) are so lopsided an opinionated that he purposely leaves out the truth on the issues that he is pushing.

jj   May 1st, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Obama needs time for people to get to know things about him. Too unknown except what he puts out. Yea how truthful or complete is that. Better the one you know than a wild horse. He would be better to step out now and try in 4 or 8 years when things become clearer for him and people don't have this nagging feeling he's a racist.

Joe   May 1st, 2008 1:49 pm ET

ostriches burying our heads in the sand   May 1st, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Mr Moore makes an astute comment about the '08 campaign season….Appealing to people's insecurities is an age-old tactic used by politicians!

But the sad thing is that a lot of people fall for it almost everytime! And after a few years they blame the politicians they have themselves elected….I hope this time we will come out of our stupor and vote without fear…..

Mike - Texas   May 1st, 2008 1:46 pm ET

So, who listens to this idiot any more?????

Yes we can!   May 1st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

the "people" are not asking ?s about Rev. Wright….we dont care about that…we care about the issues….CNN take the lead and discard the negativity….you started yesteday by showing less of Rev. Wright…it's about obama not rev. wright….your ratings are not going anywhere. you are will always be the leading news station in the world…so i'm asking you again, take the high road and report the issues, that's what we "the people/voters" care about…if the superdelegates and non-obama supporters want to fuel the rev. wright, let them use other means not you. you are above that nonsense…i wish Jack was the owner of CNN!!!!!!!

People seem to forget that BILL CLINTON had a whole roomful of preachers when Wright was there, take a good look at the picture. He didn't sit in his church for 20 years listening to him spew his garbage and hate and racism. But something else, Bill's not running for president. And I really resent the Obama people saying that anyone who supports Hillary is stupid. They should look over their posts before they release them. The media is so biased it's pathetic. How do you know someone is educated or not in a poll. People make themselves look better, they lie stupid.

LJ Blue   May 1st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Yes i agree with Micheal Moore. Americans had been miserable for eight years we need a change for the better. AMERICAN ARE RICH OR POOR. He is right when he said we are not voting for Rev wright we are voting for OBAMA.

Not a Moore Fan   May 1st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Great inteview Michael! I am glad that you referenced your Catholicism since it tells folks that there is not the monolithic Catholic support, for her, that Hillary desires so desperately.
Any good Catholic boy was certainly taught that destroying another's character such as Hillary as done, is a very grave sin! If only some of the old women who feel hard done by in the church and some of the men who wish to hide their racial fears behind their choice, would only head to confession!

Yes we can!   May 1st, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Dont care too much for Moore….but i'm using this space to say NC and IN please vote Obama and shut this thing down, so Obama can unite the states and prepare for the general election……I'm in NJ and we all still have our Obama lawn signs visible…we're not giving up…we have the audacity to hope and we know a change is coming!

Theresa in Minneapolis   May 1st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

The only thing that disappointed me about this interview was that he didn't bring up the illegal campaign financing that Clinton had from Peter Paul.

Shine the spotlight on Hillary's tactics rather that the rhetoric that has been gone over, and over and over again about Obama.

Helene   May 1st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

You are right Michael Moore. Clinton is despicable in her desperate attempt to win the nomination, groveling on Bill O'Reilly show, sitting with Scaife in Pennsylvania. Fortunately in a few weeks the democratic party will be united behind their nominee, B. Obama.

sarah   May 1st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

This coming from someone who picks,chooses and distorts facts and figures to use in his documentaries. Look at CNN Health and the back and forth between Moore and Dr. SanJay Gupta. Just another Obama supporter that twists and turns facts to suit their desire.
Anybody with a brain should disregard anything that man says.

Chyrel Wallace-Jackson, Chicago Illinois   May 1st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Hello Friends! The Michael Moore interview on Larry King was great last night. I'm glad to see something positive reported because this has been a couple of bad consecutive weeks for Obama. The Andrews endorsement was the icing on the cake. Keep Those Superdelegate Endorsements coming. Right On Moore You're A Good Man.

Jay from San Diego, Ca   May 1st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

To Maria:

Why would Sen. Obama vote against funding the war? When we are already over there, and need those funds to provide valuable epuipment, and armor. That would be suicide and complete neglect for those of us who have friends and family over there.

Bill Stapp   May 1st, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Michael Moore is certainly a man who has not been fearful of speaking his mind… and I have been bold to say that I have not agreed with him often. His discussion with Larry King was reasonable and measured. He is absolutely correct when he inferred that pastors make controversial statements. But the media continues to miss that point … and will continue to miss the point until one of them sees a new story line… Thanks to Michael Moore's honesty, sincerity, and rare reasonableness, that seed has been planted. By the way, he made some good points about Hillary, too

katharine ryan New York New York   May 1st, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Plus - if Moore had been paying attention he would notice that it was Wright who brought Farrahkan into the mix, not Hillary Clinton.

AL0526   May 1st, 2008 1:34 pm ET

The American people don't want the truth. We like to have the media constantly divert our atttention to silly things, like Rev. Wright and what church Obama goes to. We don't have to the attention span to stay focused on the real issues, like jobs, gas prices, evironmental waste and this war in Iraq.
Let's stay focused on the issues, because no matter what color you are, America is in serious trouble and we will sink or rise together.

Kudos to Michael Moore for having the courage to speak the truth!!
Stop letting the press distract you, have more intelligence, wake up!

Obama 08!

madison   May 1st, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Michael Moore:
Thank you for being honest, and having the backbone to step up and tell the truth about HILLARY CLINTON'S miserable campaign. Her 'kitchen sink' strategy has helped me make that decision that I will never vote for her (or Bill) again.

Maria   May 1st, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Maybe the reason lot of us support Hillary is that she's dedicated her life to fight for children's and women's rights before these issues were popular. With regard to Michaeil Moore's statement that he can't support anyone who voted for the Iraq war, Senator Obama was not in the Senate at the time so he was under no pressure to make a decision. He has, however, had the opportunity to vote against funding the war, but has not. Decisions are not as easy to make when you're actually in the Senate.

katharine ryan New York New York   May 1st, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Michael Moore has to be the stupidest, most malignant narcissist and manipulator of the equally stupid media of this not too brilliant century.

Moore is such a recalcitrant loser it's beyond me that anyone would ever take him seriously.

Just because his controversial films netted millions–doesn't automatically give this ignorant, crotch scratching, nose-picking moron creibility!!!

God gave all humans brains–please use them.

LJ Blue   May 1st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

sacto joe! "Obama is something special. Maybe it's because of his genetics. Maybe it's because of his upbringing. Whatever the reason, he appears to be a natural peacemaker, a true conciliator."

We don't have 20 years for Obama to learn what's right for America and all Americans. It took him 20 years to figure out Rev. Wright and denounce him.
Actually he is accoutable for what another person says, if you listen for 20 years and say nothing. You are agreeing with what your leader says if you never challenge the ideas and especially the ideology.

Now Rev. Wright has body guards for his speaking tours, from the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan's Black version of the KKK!
Oh, and has a book coming out, that should be interesting for the Obama campaign.

jj   May 1st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Why does everyone bring up personal issues. With Obama we're talking about racism. Using it to your advantage when you can but disowning your MENTOR when he says it out load AGAIN, and that you are only disowning him for political reasons, like you both said last year. Didn't disown him until he told it like it is, then you get upset and start crying. Obama has divided this country so badly that it will take years to recover, if we ever do. Not the party, the country. The party's been a mess since they put in caucus' and spreadout the primaries so that later states have no say & now they are trying to take their chance to FINALLY have a say away from them,

Independent   May 1st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

To those democratic voters who have vowed to vote for a republican if ur candidate is not nominated…YOU ARE ALLLL LOSERS!!!!!!!! You are hateful & your arguments have NO LOGIC for voting for McSame or not voting at all….WAKE UP….republicans can remain in the office for another 4 yrs….ALLL u democrats out there have to VOTE for whoever the democratic nominee will be….I believe Sen. Clinton will be a better president than Bill Clinton…I don't believe Sen. Obama is a secret muslim or a whatever BS that's surrounding him now…they will both be better than Sen.McSame!!! WAKE UP!!!!!

Sean   May 1st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Experience over Experiment!: Iraq was NOT behind 9/11, no matter what they want you to believe. Bush redirected your anger into a war that shouldn't have been, and Hillary should have known better. She had the reports. She just didn't read them.

Sharon Minnesota   May 1st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

He's not doing Obama any favors by criticizing Hillary. She is entitled to her opinion. This is America and everyone may speak their minds, not just blacks.

The Clintons have supported the black communities civil rights and don't deserve to be treated so unfairly by SOME blacks. It's possible that she speaks for blacks who are not of the super-radical persuasion like Michael Moore is.

Erik S.   May 1st, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Wow, you guys turn on each other quickly, Moore went from being your man to being "gender biased" you r party has no backbone, thus the fact that you guys canbt reacxh the white house.

micketong   May 1st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Moore's interview was really well put, he once was a Clinton supporter but realized she isn't really who she portrays, as much of America is finding out now.

Rickb7747   May 1st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

POST this????

THEY are big PERPETRATORS!!!! (Clinton) THE BOTH OF THEM…..

Yes, that is Rev. Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama, on the left, shaking Bill Clinton's hand .

And get this:

A 'Washington Insider' attends and creates a lot of events in D.C., and knows the kind of people who would come across documents such as these as a part of doing political business.

Note:
'President Clinton and Rev. Jeremiah Wright… at White House breakfast during the 'Monica Mess.' I have no problem with Rev. Wright. I do have a problem with Clintonian hypocrisy.'

Not just anyone gets invited to a White House breakfast where they can shake the hand of the President. These events are carefully engineered to curry favor with people politicos think can help them.

Hillary may not have chosen Wright to be her pastor, yet her husband chose to cultivate a relationship with Rev. Wright during his presidency. This fact seems to have vanished fro m Hillary's memory as she delivered her recent round of sound bites, criticizing Obama for his past relationship to Wright.

Sounds very similar to her 'I was shot at in Bosnia' way of thinking

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 1st, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Michael Moore gave a great interview on Larry King's show. He supports the democrat party strongly verses McCain's representation of four more years of George W. Bush. Even those you may have profited under GWB stand to lose economically with four more years of Bush's policies. Why would any republican want to support McCain just because he's republican and stand to lose their profits, it doesn't make sense.

NOOOBAMA!!!   May 1st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Yu know, you dissapoint me Moore!
I have all your movies and respect you for having the balls to tell the truth! But supporting NOBAMA!! Slashing Clinton! What's the matter with you!!??
If anything you're the biggest monster we've had (no pun intended) you're the one using scare tactics to tell the truth! I think Mrs Clinton has every right to expose Obama even it means using your tactics!
Thank you very much!

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MICHAEL MOORE IS THAT HE WAITED TOO LONG TO SPEAK UP. OR, WAS HE AFRAID FOR HIS
LIFE????????

Bridgette   May 1st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

I think we are just seeing the generational gap with this election. The reality of it is there are some older black people and their are some older white people that will never like each other. They will never try to get to know each other. Have no desire too. But don't let that be our battle. They went through some bad things together there is no doubting that. But I am in my thirties and I don't hate white people. That is apart of my history because it is a part of ancestors but I don't have to feel that way. I don't like Hilary not because she is a white woman. That has nothing to do with it. Just as I am sure that there are some white people out there who don't like Obama and it has absolutely nothing to do with him being black. They just don't like him. I wish we could all just get over that.

Yes Wright is an angry man who has not gotten over what he has gone through and he expects that everyone is like that but we are not. And that is why he is retiring because the church is not there. Bringing a younger person to relate to a younger generation that has totally different issues. It is time to put our country back together again and we can't do that if we are fighting each other.

Joseph Adewole   May 1st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

To all you Clinton supporters who claim every male who opposes HRC has a gender bias: What do you call us white women over 40 who prefer Obama?

Stephina   May 1st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

People should be scared. Birds of a feather flock together.

Obama does not have a chance of winning the election. Race is a issue, whether people will admit it or not. Coupled that he is black, you now have all the anti-American statements surfacing from his mentor from whose church he attended for 20 years. You have his own ties to Farrakan, Ayers, his Syrian friend.

Those are just facts and have nothing to do with Clinton or McCain.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Michael Moore !!!! SPEAK UP NOW. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CLINTON'S AND IT IS TIME BEFORE TUESDAY TO TELL ALL
WISH YOU COULD MAKE A MOVIE CALLED,

"THE POLITICAL BONNIE AND CLYDE'S OF AMERICAN POLITICS."

Mack   May 1st, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Time to vote for McCain. Too many whacks have taken over the democrat party. The democrat party has learn well from the republicans how to be dirty and divisive and to just throw logic out the window. Those tactics was how we ended up with Bush for 8 years. I guess america and deomcrats will never learn.

tren   May 1st, 2008 1:21 pm ET

chris   May 1st, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Moore isn't the best person out there, but I'm glad he can see past the 3am ads.

Hillary - if you want to win, keep your eye on the ball (Republicans) and attack the problems with solutions… not short term gas tax slogans that will save people $30 and not address the "real" problem. Real leaders address the problem head on (not laugh things off as misspeaking)

kelly WI   May 1st, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Any one Moore endorses atutomatically gives my vote to some one else. He's nuts.

Mary Wa   May 1st, 2008 1:19 pm ET

What is scary is her " OBLITERATE IRAN" comment! She is not even the nominee , let alone President, and she already has Iran protesting. She is as bad as McCain. They both voted for the Iraq war and they both want to Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Bomb-Bomb, Iran. Where's a week long story about this CNN? Too, buzy beating the dead horse of Rev. Wright while our national security is at stake.

Karen   May 1st, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Craig - with that said, you've got a great point that people shouldn't be voting for Hillary just because she's a woman. Also, in retrospect, I see you are not trying to get votes for Hillary - just votes for the Democratic party. Sorry, I got thrown off with the reproductive rights thing.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 1:19 pm ET

The Clinton's are used to scaring people. Like their own friends.
These people are robbing American Jobs as they are running an
election. Supposedly, $800,000 from Columbia and possible when
the deal gets secured, more $$$$$$ to come. They can always deny
because they use other people to do their dirty work for them.( Penn?)
The people that know them best, are walking away fast. Oh, and let's
not forget the supposed 5 Million Dollars paid Bill by Dubai. Pretty
soon we will have Port Dubai, Port Columbia, Port Mexico and Port China. These people are like the Bonnie and Clyde's of American
Politics. If the voters fall for them, they can only blame themselves,
Voters are sometimes, idiots.

CLF VA   May 1st, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Nanc, MN   May 1st, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I think Michael Moore wishes he had as much influence on voters as he seems to think he does.

Go back to making docs. In fact I'm sure the next one will be all about this elecetion. Do I see $ signs in his eyes?

Stephanie, PA   May 1st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

I watched Michael Moore on Larry King last evening and thought his insights were insightful and on point. He is very even-handed in his criticism of all the candiates. (Note he is not in agreement with any of their health plans.) He does believe that Sen. Obama is the right choice for the strong and balanced leadership our country so desperately needs. Furthermore, he does not paint Sen Clinton as a lying schemer, or McCain as a warmonger as some others have tried to do. Rather, he gave rational reasons for his choice of Sen Obama over Senators McCain and Clinton. At the end of the day, regardless of any Dems first choice, he rightfully believes that we have to unite around the Democratic candidate for office unless we want to have more of what we've had for the past 7.5 years!

Mike G   May 1st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Michael Moore is exactly correct. Hillary's FEAR & SMEAR campaign is leaving Americans with a real distrust for her. She will never be President because of it.
Barack Obama is the one for this time and all the hate, racists slurs, and fear tactics won't work anymore. We've had eight LONG years of that already!

Steve Capehart   May 1st, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Michael Moore is from another planet!

Elsa from Canada   May 1st, 2008 1:14 pm ET

The only thing that scares me is the rude and obnoxious comments directed at Hillary from Obama supporters like Moore. It seems impossible for them to praise their candidate without being so disrespectful to anyone who supports someone else. Are these the supporters that Obama attracts? Day after day, I read their comments and frankly I find them disgusting.Why so much hatred for Hillary? She probably has more intelligence in her little finger than most of you have in your whole body. Is that the problem?

v.ananthan   May 1st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

OBAMA SAID HE^S OUTRAGED WITH PASTORS COMMENTS…
(PLEASE SEE SOME BLOGS BACK).

HILLARY IS SAYING "I think it’s offensive and outrageous"

I DON^T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS A BIG ISSUE AND ATTACKING HILLARY AS A MEAN PERSON WHEN BOTH HILLARY AND OBAMA SAID THE SAME…..:

DOESN^T HILLARY HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY HER OPINION…..???

WHAT DU YOU SAY MICAEL MOORE ???

Karen   May 1st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Craig, I really don't see how voting for McCain is going to be signing away a woman's reproductive rights. We have had Republican presidents the overwhelming majority of the last 30 years, and that right to choose is still solidly in place. We have had times where the Supreme Court was liberal and times when it was conservative, and that right is still in place. Same with the Congress - both sides have been up to bat. In my opinion, you are fear-mongering to try to get votes for Hillary by telling women they're going to loose something you think is precious to them, but I have to tell you - I've never known a woman named Craig, know what I mean????? Be a doll and stick to issues that pertain to you.

ner   May 1st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

May be she is trying to scare voter but why?

Where is Obama during 20years or 1000Sundays, is he sleeping during sermon?

And right Rev. Wright about Obama had only distanced himself from the minister for political reasons.

Mrs. Obama is right that Obama may win the nomination but I don't think the presidency of this country. This story of Rev. Wright will hunt Obama and will result his defeat in presidency against McCain.
Democratic party should think twice.

1000Sundays of sermon from Rev. Wright could average about 10Sundays of teaching about race hatred. Are we fooling our selves that may be Obama does not like the teaching of Rev. Wright, imagine 20years?

This may not be Hilary or Obama but the defeat of Republican rule on this country. SO vote for Hillary….

DD, New York   May 1st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

I think Michael Moore is scarier than Sen. Clinton.

Ben   May 1st, 2008 1:12 pm ET

ECHEWEOZO   May 1st, 2008 1:10 pm ET

thank you more for saying the truth,hillary is a republican and she knows that she will lose,right now she is doing everything she can to dirty obama so that he wont be elected

Stefanie   May 1st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I respect the work Mr Moore has done in his documentaries. However, after watching the first half of the interview with Larry King I could not believe some of the things this man said (including my husband -who supports Obama). Blaming the Clinton campaign for prolonging this Wright issue is absurd. Maybe he thinks the Clinton campaign paid Mr. Wright to come forth and speak to the press. Maybe they also had him rehearse what he would say and maybe, just maybe……..Mr Moore will do a future documentary about this…how about calling it the Cagey Clinton Conspiracies.
And what was that absurd statement about Uncle Tom? Sounds like you may have more in common with Mr, Wright after all!!

liberals' worst nightmare   May 1st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Why does anyone even listen to this idiot? Moore is just like Rev. Wright– he blames America for every little problem in the world today.

jj   May 1st, 2008 1:08 pm ET

We are not voting for Wright, BUT Obama and his family have listened to this man's rantings for 20 years and all of a sudden, they don't agree with him. The sermons that came out before we the same as what he's preaching now, why now, if not for purely political reasons, does Obama disown him. Because he spoke the truth, Obama believes just what he's been preaching.

remember her campaign fraud?   May 1st, 2008 1:08 pm ET

doesn't matter if she said she'd blow up Israel .Her and her antics are being ignored because The Wacky Rev is outshining the headlines these days.. did people find out the latest on Paul V Clinton? Thought not. The media hasnt the interest..and i dont remember reading that there was a gag order either.. Why is Sean Penn still in her campaign.. were it Obama she's have led a lynch mob for him to fire,,, disown,,, reject… renounce….DE-nouce..blah blah blah…why is there missing tax years?Why is her hubby profiting from Nafta even still while she CLAIMS to be opposed.. she spends the money doesnt she?.Why isnt anyone commenting on the fact that she continues to claim that Wright would not be her pastor.. but only enough to call him when they need him to the White House to gain favor with Black Folks during the Monica ordeal?I could go on.. but i probably wont be posted and no media is going to cover her garbage…she will steal this election. period.

John Smith   May 1st, 2008 1:08 pm ET

We have so small brains in this country it bothers me a lot!

"X" is the only one who can beat McCain!!" Have you looked at the history this "x" family has brought down on this nation? Win, Win, Win!! This is the same old trash we are putting our kids through– just learn to win reagrdless.

When do we stop and think that great nation, like Rome, feel beacuse of lack of intergity, poor moral values and so on!

When do we stop an think that bringing people together is most important for solving problems!!

When do we stop and think that each generation would need to start out with leaders with "little" experience? Let us "think America!"

He speaks the truth. All Hilary can do to garner votes is us scare tactics and defame her opponant b/c she doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the issues. I don't think this is a gender bias it's a "I'm againts the old guard who are so entrenched in what has been going on that nothings going to change" bias.

Notice how Obama actually cares about the issues and hasn't brought up the many skeleton's in the Clinton's closet b/c you can only lay so much blame on Bill's doorstep. She is equally responsible for the dealings in her past that make her the female version of George W. Bush.

All I have to say is that should she receive the nomination you can bet my vote will be with McCain b/c unlike Hilary he actually wants to tighten the reigns on what Govt. officials can accept etc., and has the people of this country first rather than his own "Legacy".

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Michael Moore but I agree with most of what he said in this interview. Scare tactics belong with the Bush regime. They should have no place in the democratic campaigns and the fact that Clinton has introduced fear only shows the extend of her desperation. She really will 'do anything to win'.

Porter   May 1st, 2008 1:06 pm ET

So he wants Clinton to win? I mean, even Moore has to recognize the damage of his support, right?

Somebody please read this and answer. Name one thing that Bill Clinton has done for black people. Be specific.

Funny how I can't think of ANYTHING. What makes him the first Black President again? Is it because he played the saxophone? He smoked marijuana? I don't get this at all! Add to the fact that he deliberately ignored crises in Africa during his administration and I'm mind boggled as to how he has brainwashed the entire nation into thinking he's is pro black.

He even was not in Washington yet.
Obama is weak person who even could not stand up to his hater preacher.
No Obama. No chance to win in GE for him doesn't matter what Moore or other obamanians say

Moore is enough to scare even the dead - Does Obama not want to be more selective about the backers and company he keeps - what a motley crowd of rats, nuts and down right mad folks - He seems to have surrounded himself with rats who jump ship and nuts like the Moore guy. I will not vote for him if he is the nominee. I have nothing against him but I do against his inept and manipulative ways - using blacks to vote for him and dumping them once he is done.

You,Obama, and Rev. Wright, etc. are the Hate and Scare baiters-you've all become quite Rich from it, so your statement is very hypocritical!

We are looking forward to years of Peace, Prosperity and a balanced budget!

Annette   May 1st, 2008 1:02 pm ET

At least Michael Moore is being honest and consistent about his feelings towards the war in Iraq. Which we all know he is against, like most folks. I can respect that. Whether you like Mike or not. He is being true to himself, which at the end of the day is what is important.

v.ananthan   May 1st, 2008 1:01 pm ET

OPPORTUNIST……….

David   May 1st, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Yes, Micheal More. Clinton is using scar tactic for her ego trip to get votes. She says, does anything to win at the expense of the Democratic Party, the country and, of course Obama, and her own integrity. Tell them don't be fooled by her power hairdo, shinning jewelries and fake smile. If Clinton ever wins to the White House, you bet she will have wars all over the place. Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim   May 1st, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Thank you Michael Moore for telling the truth. She crossed the line when she used Hamas and Farrakhan to try to scare the American People. Then to stand there and say that Senator McCain should have done more to stop the very adds she inspired. It is truly a said state of affairs. She will not win the nomination, but if by some chance she does, I would vote for he instead of McCain.

Obama 08

Adrian   May 1st, 2008 1:00 pm ET

I find it hard to understand why anyone would want to support Hillary. She and her husband are just one more reminder of political corruption and cronyism. Doesn't anyone remember White Water? People died because of her. Soldiers are dying today because of her. Her response? Buy me anothr pantsuit and let me try to find some obscure aspect of Obama's history to exploit and distort. She makes me sick. I think Bill is getting senile from some of the ridiculous stuff coming out of his mouth as well. I can't wait until Obama finally wins this thing and we can quit hearing her devisive rhetoric.

richard   May 1st, 2008 12:59 pm ET

To bad Moore does not do the research. I was sure he was going to do a investigation on the bias of the MSM and the sneaky attacks by the Obama camp. It does not take much to figure this out. I think more and more people are genuinly affraid to ask the relevent questions of Obama. Case in point the ABC debate. They asked good solid questions and were slaughtered by the MSM supporting Obama. Please wake up people.

Debbie   May 1st, 2008 12:58 pm ET

The media can say whatever they want about Michael Moore - he is a good man! It's strange how THE MEDIA tries to knock down EVERY PERSON THAT IS GOOD!

violet   May 1st, 2008 12:57 pm ET

But Michael, don't you do exactly the same thing in your documentaries: i.e., "scare'" people with half-baked truths? Or are you in training for the president's job?

By the way, don't come back to Canada and use distorted information
to support your lying ways to make a buck because we're not so easily besotted with you leftards here, having a conservative goverment which has helped us to escape some of America's recent financial disasters.

Dan, NJ   May 1st, 2008 12:57 pm ET

A lot of superdelegates agree with Moore that Clinton's tactics have been deplorable. She has really acted like a Republican hit woman and has strengthened the causes of war in Iraq, no healthcare, anti-aborition laws, and continued Bush economic polices far better than John McCain ever could have.

Shame on you Hillary.

Eric NY   May 1st, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Sorry Debbie, but I think you are the one that needs more research. I saw that debate and the question was if there was a decision made that the candidate would take back and Hillary mentioned her war vote. However, at no time she said she was sorry for voting for it.

Paul   May 1st, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Hillary had to be pressed over and over and over for her to say she regretted voting for the Iraq war. She doesn't really regret it. She has been asked 100s of times and has never apologized. Only one time she said she regrets it. And now she says she will obliverate Iran if they mess with anyone. If I hadn't heard these words coming directly from her mouth I would have thought it was Dick Cheney speaking.

Kel from Auburn AL   May 1st, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Hillary is just messing herself up over and over again. You know, if Obama were John Edwards, this campaign would have been over long ago. Most people won't admit it, but Obama has 4 years more foreign policy experience than john edwards, and how preposterous would it be for hillary to offer edwards the vp slot? Race is a subtle but ever present danger in this campaign.

Venus   May 1st, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Ahh, the Mikey Moore kiss of death. Congrats Hillary, you just secured the nomination!!

Way to Go Moore, Tell it like it is! Barack Obama is the only decent candidate in this cycle. Even the Clintons can't turn time back to the 1990's. Sillary has made a mockery of women around the world by behaving like one of the old boys ( btw I heard she may be in the closet)

Wow even after that you 'Hillary-bots' still can't understand. Lack of education to blame! Vig and Debby go right now and apply to night school

I also had GREAT HOPES for Hillary in the beginning…but as the old saying goes
THE REAL PERSON APPEARS WHEN THEY ARE FACED WITH ADVERSITY…

When Hillary did not capture the LARGE Victory she was planning for Super Tuesday we saw that she was willing to use ALL of the OLD-SCHOOL political tricks she attributed to the VAST RIGHT WING conspiracy she spoke of so many years ago.

Michael Moore is correct…Hillary let us down..MANY of us thought she was better than that…..

If Clinton supprters were able to just step back a little they would see she has devolved into the exact thing she always complained about..

IT'S KIND OF SAD

I agree totally - we are voting for Barack, not for an elderly retired pastor.

Experience over Experiment!   May 1st, 2008 12:54 pm ET

For the record…Obama was not even a Senator when the War vote was taken!!! It is very easy to be against the war when you didn't even have to vote for it. Maybe I should run for President, I didn't vote for the war either. Get a clue people!

And as an FYI….she had to vote for the war, her city just got blown to pieces! We all would have done the same thing if it was our backyard! She did what she had to do as the Senator from NY!

In addition, he voted "present" roughly 130 times in Illinois as opposed to taking a stand on issues! He has done the same as a Senator and doesn't even have major legislation to back him up…What does he stand for….ohh yeah Hopes and Dreams but NO SUBSTANCE!!!!

Hillary has taken a stand time and again! Vote for someone with a proven record. Hillary 08!

This guy speaks the truth, but he's unfortunately always a year ahead of public opinion….hopefully not this time.

Hilary can stop big oil companies. tell me another one.

eric from canada   May 1st, 2008 12:53 pm ET

YES SIR CLINTON PLAY DIRTY POLITICAL BUT EVERYONE KNOW SHE IS LYING ITS NO GONA WORK THIS TIME.

marvin   May 1st, 2008 12:53 pm ET

MOORE ENCOURAGES OBAMA TO "PUT ON HIS FIGHTING FACE" BUT WHEN CLINTON DOES IT HE SAYS SHE'S TRYING TO SCARE VOTERS. WHY SHOULDN'T SHE TALK ABOUT HAMAS AND FARAKAN?

As a Hillary supporter I am not surprised. I think Moore does some great work and I do like him. He is entitled to his opinions and can endorse Obama as he sits fit. However Hillary is not scaring anyone and Moore needs to hold that same measuring stick up to Obama as well. Obama won't come out as innocent as Moore would like him to be. Obama is a politician and has used the gender bias against Hillary to his benefit - I didn't see Moore addressing that issue now did we? Nope.

matt   May 1st, 2008 12:53 pm ET

This saddens me that michael moore is obviusly also Gender Bias.
For the Simple fact that (shawn Hannity) has been the man behind all of this coming at barack obama.

Hillary has made comments, but nothing as far as what Hannity has done.

so if your paying attention, every week there something new for obama
WIlliam Ayers, Rev Wright, Farrakan, Rezko.. ( this is all in thanks to Hannity )

My point it, stop blaming her for everything Moore, Stop being such a Fascist!

E. C., Houston, Texas   May 1st, 2008 12:53 pm ET

NO…………I'VE NEVER SAID THIS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME i HAVE COMMENTED.

JoR   May 1st, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Mr. Moore:

We're not voting for Bill Clinton, either. Why does Obama throw what Bill Clinton did in the White House in her face? You can't have it both ways.

Kingsley Orji from Oyigbo rivers state Nigeria   May 1st, 2008 12:52 pm ET

I used to think that the American voters are intelligent. It beats me how the peolple are focusing on non issues like Rev Wright and leaving the real issues that plague the American people.

I have watched both candidates and strongly feel that Obama is the right choice. I have not been fooled by the CNN ads and their focus on non issues that projects Obama's image in bad light. Clinton misspoke, clinton wants to obliterate iran (bad judgement), clinton wants to put the american people in trouble by removing gas tax, Major clinton backers are defecting. Why are all these not news? CNN is biased!
The Democtrates should wisen up and stop clinton before she does irreparable damage to the party.
I hope CNN posts this.

E. C., Houston, Texas   May 1st, 2008 12:52 pm ET

This Presidential Campaign doesn't need anymore of Michael Moore. What a Freak! He's crazy and irratic and a publicity hound. Any commentary from M.Moore means absolutely NOTHING.

Paul   May 1st, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Real Change:

Bill Clinton is quoted as saying the following in 2004.

"If one candidate's trying to scare you and the other one's trying to get you to think, if one candidate's appealing to your fears and the other one's appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."

So basically, Bill Clinton is supporting Obama if he means what he says.

I Love Michael Moore.
