Stupid White Men

…and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!

By: Michael Moore

Narrated by: Arte Johnson

Length: 8 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

In 2001, the government was seized by a ne'er-do-well rich boy and his elderly henchmen. Our great economic expansion unraveled, our water was poisoned, and SUVs advanced like a plague of locusts.

Michael Moore has a lot to say and isn't holding back. The powerful are the target—particularly a group that laid waste to the world as we know it—and still are: stupid white men. In this bleakly funny work, Moore reveals how the great and the good screw us over; how President George W. Bush stole an election; how the rich stay rich while forcing the rest of us to live in economic fear; and how politicians have whored themselves to big business.

1 star reviews...Just like the Nazis used to give.

I love reading the one star reviews. It's quite obvious that these people didn't read this book. They are just knee-jerking per the standard conservative reaction to anyone who questions the legitmacy of the Bush administration.
I'm a pretty open minded person but having read both "Treason" and "Who's watching out for you", I've gotta say that the lack of sustainable fact and the over-abundance of hersey and hot air by conservative writers is astonishing.
Granted, Michael Moore and Al Franken aren't very sensible some of the time but the facts and numbers they provide are indisputible.

If you think otherwise, just wait a few years. History will see this time for what it is...the darkest days of America.

Frustrated: oversimplifing and diluting of issues

Moore makes insightful and valid points in a clear cut and easy to digest manner. As ambitious as he is however, Moore lacks comprehensive argument in the issues at hand by oversimplifing or diluting problems to mere type-specific groups and/or distinctions. His tendency to portray America's problems from a tight box of labels such as Black vs White or rich vs poor is fractioned, contrived, and prejudiced even as they attempt the fight those very things. This can undermine the legitimacy of his arguments and serve as a barrier for acknowledgement. Post-BFC, Moore has earned a great amount of authority over what will typically be seen as the "Liberal/Leftist" cause (especially to younger generations), with this added responsibility, it is essential that he reflect a more encompassing view of our society's problems and their vehicles. This audio piece is well worth listening to as long as it does not become the say-all of our solutions: a good introduction.

Man's a genius

This guy has the bravery to stand up to Bush era big oil concerns and shows us how americans are just standing around with their collective heads in the sand. A good read

A hilarious look at a very serious problem.

The 2000 Gore/Bush election leads the way on Michael Moore’s honest examination of the stagnant, slow demise of America, its democracy and its dreams.

Thank you Michael!

The truth about bush is creeping aou from all sides faster than the White House can out CIA agents to stop it. And Michael Moore was the one who had the guts to stand up to the republican "death" squads, insisting his boks not be intellectually neutered. Thank yoy, thank you, thank you Michael.

Witty/humerous insight to realities many ignore

This is a very thought provoking book that provides a witty and humerous insight int0 many realities that people often ignore. Although I don't agree with all of his views, at least he is standing up and calling attention to a lot of areas that certain others would have us look the way.

As always...

Moore is as good as Al Franken. The two of them should get together and make a movie. I can hardly wait for Dude, Where's My Country? on audio book.

the closed minded will hate it

But I thought the book was great. Moore presented his subject with clarity and wit, and brought to light observations which were ignored or glossed over by mainstream media. He presented a very refreshing viewpoint.

Michael Moore does it again

Once again Michael Moore attacks the right-wingers and the democrats who should opppose them, but just bend-over backwards for the moral minority. Just like his other books and his movie Bowling for Columbine Michael Moore pulls no punches in his quest to show the plight of the Americans being screwed by evil, stupid or lazy politicans.

A must read on our USA 's political LIE/TRUTH.

I plan to get this book and pass it around to all who want to know. An eye opener. Need to be taught in all history and political classes. SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT!
