Hollywood Bitchslap — Michael Moore Under Attack: Right Wing Group Publishes his Home Address  

Filmmaker Michael Moore, writer/director of the new Bush-bashing documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11,” has made quite a career out of marketing himself as a man of the people, a populist everyman who fights passionately for the little guy. That’s why we wanted to make sure “little guys” could let Moore know exactly what they think about his new movie. So, if you have an opinion about the film — in which Moore plays fast and loose with the facts to build a case that President Bush is an idiot and the war in Iraq is all about oil profits — we suggest you send it to the following address:
Michael Moore
[ADDRESS REMOVED]
New York, NY 10024
That’s his home — a condominium this man of the people, so critical of capitalism, spent $4.5 million on seven years ago. And please don’t worry that it’s wrong to use this address; it’s public record, obtained through New York State mortgage records and Federal Election Commission filings. Besides, Moore himself endorses the publication of this kind of information: In “Fahrenheit 9/11,” in fact, he projects on screen the private office number of a congressman whose views he opposes — and urges viewers to call it.

Oh. My. God.

Are these people insane? Moore posts an office phone number of a politician and they post his home address, where his wife and children sleep? Such behavior is not just immoral, it's plain nutso. It's the sort of thing that used to happen to doctors who dared provide abortions for women who needed them, only to be blown to pieces in their cars, homes and offices by uber-religious loons.
