"Incompetent"? What Moore is, is "popular" and an effective agitator. He knows how to pick a fight. He sells books and puts butts in theater seats to expose regular people to critiques of capitalism. Perhaps most importantly, he has encouraged a new generation of young filmmakers to make political documentaries and he has shown film distributors that they can make money by backing political films.
