Aaron Swartz is entitled to his opinion. I think this is a well written and well thought out article that makes numerous valid points.
I would disagree with what he says about Michael Moore loving the troops. I have seen the parts of the movie that relates to the troops, and speaking as a soldier serving in Iraq, who saw the movie in Iraq, I would say I felt many things during that part of the film, and "loved" is not a word that comes to mind. "Demeaned", "stereotyped", "insulted" ... those are a few words that come to mind.
