There were some boos, but mostly people seemed to be in shock. Damn, the guy has the guts of a burglar.

Look, these are movie actors and there's no reason to think that the room's collective IQ would be any higher that that of an average Town Hall meeting. Plus I suspect the vast majority would be terrified at the prospect of sinking their careers with a wrong strategic move, so it doesn't bother me a bit that when the cameras went into the audience, many (male and female) looked like deer caught in the headlights before applauding in a stunned kind of way.

But Moore? Damn, I'm proud of him.
