I read a little while back that a lot of the hard-core lefties didn't like it. Did a search and found the article below. I didn't know, outside of Madison and Berkeley, there were still guys like this around...a true socialist, who doesn't like Moore's watered-down “quasi-socialist, populist notions”.
