Yes, there is a difference between being on the ballot and being paraded around as the spokesperson. But if I understand correctly, Michael Moore got a 'VIP' seat at the Democratic convention. I suppose I don't know the qualification for getting that seat, but it doesn't seem to me they were trying to bring distance between themselves and Michael Moore. Whether you like it or not, F 911 and the rest of that faction of the left (CBS/60 Minutes, Dan Rather, NYT, and George Soros) probably has as much to do with the recent mobilization of the right as anything.
