Manufacturing Dissent - Uncovering Michael Moore


Moore set to publish an “Election Guide” in the fall

Posted by DonnaK on 06/15/08 at 06:06 PM

I must be honest… I’m not quite sure what to make of this yet:

Michael Moore is coming out with a new book. The tome, titled “Mike’s Election Guide,” a manual of mockery for the 2008 presidential election, will be published Aug. 19 by Grand Central Publishing, Jimmy Franco, a spokesman for the publisher, said Friday.

Promotional material for the book reads: “Perfectly timed to coincide with the national political conventions—and to capitalize on massive campaign coverage.”

That is the sum total of all the details I’ve been able to find as of now, so I have no real idea what this book will be about. “Manual of mockery”? What does that even mean?

Moorewatchers… any guesses as to what types of shenanigans Moore is cooking up this time?

It goes something like this:

“LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! ($9.95, please.)”

Sprinkled in with that will be some kind of plug for his chosen guy, Barack Obama, and a series of jabs at McCain. This book will be another tax on stupid people.

I imagine it will be a guide on how to create your own moronic chants in the “one, two, three, four, we dont want your f-ing war” variety, a step-by-step guide on how to get the best trajectory from your packet of ranch dressing when you throw it at a candidate, how to cry, “first amendment!” when the secret service tackles your ass, a list of ACLU offices around the country for when you are thrown in jail for disrupting a speech or for illegally protesting, an entire chapter on the merits of poster paints versus water colors when making your banner and how to cherry pick speeches, historical documents and articles to serve your own purposes.

Dude… you know what? I bet you’re bang-on right. :D

It’ll probably be a TL;DR version of “Obama rules and McCain drools.”
