Senator Hagel, a Republican, and Rep. Rangel, a Democrat, have both been arguing that we bring back the draft. They have both been arguing that we need to make the war deaths more egalitarian, less lower-middle class kids. Moore is hardly being an extremist, or unpatriotic, in saying this.
And why the fuck should John Kerry condemn Michael Moore? Should George W. Bush go out of his way to condemn the nuy jobs on the Right like Pat Robertson who support him? No, he doesn't, b/c they represent a group of voters that he needs to maintain. It's not like John Kerry is going out of his way for Moore, to condemn Moore would only lose voters for Kerry, not draw them in.
And as for Moore being unamerican, that's just nonsense. The guy has dedicated his life to advocating for American jobs. Call him protectionist, call him regressive, but unamerican he certainly is not.
