And while much of his press conference for [SiCKO] that took place today at the Regency Hotel on Park Avenue was spent doing just thatcheck out [this brief clip ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nf1m9aJWl8)for a short sampling of the man's ability to get worked up in front of a crowdhe did sort of begrudgingly admit that his personalized approach to blue state activism will always annoy certain partisans. "Most Americans, conservatives and liberals, should at least say that children have a right to see a doctor and not have to worry about paying for it," Moore said, referring to the health care criticism of his latest doc, which opens next weekend. "I think I see agreement about that across the entire political spectrum." Indeed, SiCKO is without a doubt Moore's most accessible film, but he knows who's keeping him in their trenchant crosshairs. "So why do those few remaining voices supporting the war and supporting Mr. Bush continue to attack me?" the director asked, and then answered his own question. "They would attack me if I opened up a factory that produced American flags." Will the mainstream perception of Moore change after SiCKO reveals that he's not only preaching to the choir about token liberal ideology? We'll know the answer in a week.
