What does the link to michaelmoore.com contribute to the encyclopedia? It isn't being used as a source for the article.
Um, it's the website of the subject of the article. Every article about a subject that has a website of its own has or should have such a website listed in "External links" as obviously relevant.
You are twisting every way you can to come up with an excuse not to include such a link, for every reason except coming out and honestly say "We should remove any mention of links to people we decide we don't like." All your various formulations closely resemble attempting to say anything other than that, which appears to be the actual reason.
