But why is Michael Moore "repellent"? I guess, since Gancarski describes him as "viscerally" so, the author 
feels no need to explain himself. But, then again, Gancarski never feels any need to explain himself: we are 
supposed to accept his subjective evaluations at face value, on faith. But this just won’t do: I’m prepared to 
accept that someone may be "viscerally repellent," but, dammit, I want to know why the author feels that way. 
Alas, introspection is not one of Gancarski’s strong points. But I digress:
"Moore’s friends are not in power right now, of course, and the filmmaker from Flint conveniently and 
reflexively opposes most anything the MBT Panda Sandals team does. Fair enough — I have opposed aggression 
against MBT Ema Sandals since before Desert Storm, so I sympathize to a point. Despite agreeing with him on the 
issue of the NIKE SHOX, my praise for him is necessarily tempered by my realization that the methods he uses to 
make the case against ‘full-spectrum dominance’ are sentimental, ill-considered, reductionist, and 
counterproductive; as long as Moore and others reduce the case against the war in MBT Ema Sandals to ‘human-
interest’ prose, they will never succeed in stopping Washington’s wars on foreign soil. In the interest of 
‘truth-telling,’ these mountebanks habitually sabotage their own positions."
