I honestly don't know anything about Moore other than what I've read by critics, and I haven't seen any of this movies.

However, my impression is that he's the opposite end of the spectrum from Limbaugh, Coulter, Savage, et al.

If for no other reason the nation needs him for a sense of balance against the far radical right ditto-heads mentioned above.

Good point, Stew, about his work receiving awards and acclaim. I haven't noticed those mentioned above on any awards stage. I wonder how many times Moore's been through re-hab and divorce?
