Titled "The Sympathizer", it compares Michael Moore's views to those of Osama bin Laden, stating "Mike Moore has become so obsessed with his hatred for Bush that he's now firmly on the side of the bad guys." Wilson goes on to say "I guess the best way to explain what I'm feeling is to lay out some of Moore's words and some of bin Laden's words, side by side".

Filmmaker Michael Moore, center, joins hundreds of members of the California Nurses  Association as they march from the Capitol of California to a nearby theater to view the premiere of his new film, “Sicko,” a documentary about the American health care system, in Sacramento, Calif., on Tuesday. Moore ignores the positive side altogether. For all its problems, the United States still provides the highest-quality health care in the world. 18 of the last 25 winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine either are U.S. citizens or work here. With no price controls, free-market U.S. medicine provides the incentives that lead to innovation breakthroughs in new drugs and other medical technologies.

Moore directed this film about the American health care system, focusing particularly on the managed-care and pharmaceutical industries. At least four major pharmaceutical companies—Pfizer, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline—ordered their employees not to grant any interviews to Moore.[20][21][22] According to Moore on a letter at his website, "roads that often surprise us and lead us to new ideas – and challenge us to reconsider the ones we began with have caused some minor delays." The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2007, receiving a lengthy standing ovation, and was released in the U.S. and Canada on 29 June 2007.[23] The film was the subject of some controversy when it became known that Moore went to Cuba with chronically ill September 11th rescue workers to shoot parts of the film. The United States is looking into whether this violates the trade embargo. The film is currently ranked the third highest grossing documentary of all time[24] and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature.[25]
