And I just found this, from his acceptance speech. I can just imagine the right wing talking heads exploding on this one tomorrow!

From Da Man:

"Thank you (France) for having the courage to stand up and say no" to US threats to attack Iraq, Moore said to cheers from the audience.

"One of the best definitions of an ally, of a friend, is that your friend is the one who can tell you when you're wrong," he said.

"So thank you for showing us the way, for standing up and for something very important... I want to let you know that there are tens of millions of Americans who feel the same way."

"The majority of us Americans never elected George W. Bush," he said.

"We've been surviving a coup now for the past couple of years and because of that we don't support coups instigated by us in other countries," the director said, admitting "I will be crucified in the press in America when I got home."
