Annie and Mikey

I do not consider Michael Moore and Anne Coulter to neccesarily be protestors. I view them almost as celebrities. I think that they have very strong opinions and they at no means are afraid to speak what they have on mind. I think the Michael Moore's documentaries are of protest but they are also very largely about him trying to get his name attached to very confrontational things. Anne Coulter I believe just feels strongly on what she believes in and with people listening to her, her beliefs get stronger. I do not think that she really protests it is more of her just trying to be heard. The american public supports both people I think not so wholeheartedly. I believe that the common american can agree with one or the other on some stances however no one would most americans agree with everything that is being said. I do however believe that they go to these extremes and it makes people feel better about themselves when comparing it to thereselves. I know people who say I am liberal, but I am nowhere close to Michael Moore, and the same for Coulter. People feel comfortable not being the most radical and they find comfort in being in the middle. There loud in your face rhetoric appeals to people in my opinion who are less educated. I think that in both of them there are many weak claims. Personally I found it interesting that our class saw through most of the claims when we discussed Fahrenheit 911. It is interesting to note that the room, full of soon to be educated students, easily poked at flaws. Also in class people noted that the way he did things, though not necessarily true, allowed for them to get the thought in their mind.
In conclusion on both I think that I will probably use them for a laugh every so often and will probably never believe any thing either say unless I go and check there sources. However, alot of America believes everything they hear and with these two it almost never is unbiased.
