I think what appealed to me (although I agree with you, of course) is that the way he put it was that he wasn't trying to censor the film, but rather to persuade the theater owners not to show it. Which, okay, if it were any other controversial movie, I'm behind anyone's right to protest. Hell, Michael Moore's right to free speech and his right to protest are just as equal.
Having said that, the guy did get a bit vehement when Ron and Fez would call him on simple basic points. When they asked him if he'd even seen the movie, he said he'd seen parts of it. (And quite frankly, the parts he described sounded like they were right out of the trailer.) And like I said, he'd start acting like a taunting 13-year-old the second Michael Moore's name would come up.
I did like the fact that after the interview, most of the response was against him, who all thought he was getting his info wrong. (Which, to be honest, he was at some points). My personal favorite was this elderly lady who called up, sweetly complimented Ron and Fez's show, then said that the man had told a fib and she wasn't about to let him get away with it. (He'd said that Michael Moore's assertion that Bush had shipped out the bin Ladin family on 9/11 was crap and that Richard Clark did it, but the little old lady said he testifid that the order came from higher up at the 9/11 hearings.) She was incredibly cute. :)
