The University of Cincinnati, that is. The crowd was fairly large, but nothing on the order of monumental. As usual, there was a scattering of Bush supporters waving Bush/Cheney signs and chanting various slogans.
He pulled up in a black Mercury with tinted windows, with several security dudes running after him. Had his ballcap and jeans, like normal. But damn, Moore is quite the orator. He presented the usual tirade against Bush, but he did it in a very humorous way and got the Bushies involved too. When they started their "four more years" chant, he chuckled and started chanting "six more days!".
Of the many points he rattled off against Bush, the first was assault weapons, which irritated me a bit, but hey, we're not all perfect. He continued with healthcare, and all those domestic issues which got lukewarm response from the crowd. Then he mentioned Iraq, which got a noticeably louder response. Surprisingly, he hammered on the draft, saying that it would be renewed if Bush were re-elected.
He also made an interesting point: Kerry is described as the #1 liberal in the senate, yet he's also described as a flip flopper. How can he be both at the same time? If he really were a flip flopper, he would be more like the #39th liberal. Clearly the labels applied to him weren't given much thought by the conservative spin doctors.
Overall I was duly impressed. The man has a way of reading the crowd, and of using the crowd to further a point, that is really quite beautiful. If you ever have the chance, go see him talk - he's like a Cicero of our own time. [:)]

Adolph Hitler was one of the best orators of all time and he knew how to work a crowd into a frenzy.
