Shot down by Moore and co.?

Shot down by Moore and co.?

February 27, 2009

Kevin Leffler isn’t a filmmaker by trade. He’s a college professor and CPA.

But he grew up in Michigan and heard all about local hero Michael Moore’s efforts on behalf of the “little guy.”

Leffler wasn’t buying it, so he picked up a camera and pointed it toward Moore.

The result is “Shooting Michael Moore,” a critical doc about the Oscar-winning filmmaker. My latest Washington Times feature shares Leffler’s story – and the effort by one of Moore’s closest pals to stop Leffler’s film from getting show in Michigan.

Does Moore’s friend have a point, or is the man who gave us “Roger & Me” getting a bit defensive about his persona? You be the judge.

My first Michael Moore experience was watching “Roger and Me” with some current GM workers at the time. Considering they lived and breathed the manufacturer everyday for 20+ years, I’ll side with their notion that Moore couldn’t find truth within himself if it was attached to a deluxe pizza.

Moore has become so toxic that even he thought the Democrats should denounce him. As for Leffler’s efforts, he’s a bit late to the party.

The annoyance film is something the left has done for a long time, and it’s a good thing to see the opposition take up the same tactics. Even so, you have to pick your targets carefully.
