And Michael Moore documentaries;
[H]e clearly doesn’t believe what he’s saying, and, in the words of Ned Flanders on the Bible, believing in him requires believing lots of stuff that contradicts the other stuff. […]
Despite the message of the new film, in which Moore apparently stages a stunt visit to a Cuban hospital to show us how much better things are for Cuba’s sick, if Moore has a health crisis the words on his lips are going to be “Mount Sinai,” not “Havana.” Hasn’t the Moore/MoveOn.org nexus–the MooreOn crowd–been arguing for 40 years that our heartless capitalist embargo on peace-loving Cuba is starving their babies and old folks, crippling their hospitals, ruining their lives? (In the 90s, they said the same things about Saddam’s Iraq; then “F 9/11″ did a pirouette, portraying sanctions-lashed Iraq as a merry playground of twittering birds and happy children.) Similarly, “Bowling for Columbine” unfavorably compared Clinton’s America (years into a prolonged period of plummeting crime rates) with Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s USSR–but also argued that South Central L.A., Ground Zero of the gun epidemic, was totally safe. Don’t forget the concluding argument of “Bowling for Columbine”: Moore, after ridiculing the ideas that video games or Marilyn Manson videos were the root cause, wound up blaming the massacre on the presence of a Defense Department factory in the town. In other words, the bombing of Slobodan Milosevic inspired the kids to massacre their classmates.
Michael Millionaire Moore has one agenda,and that is to become Michael Billionaire Moore.Unfortunately there is way too many people that believe his films are documentaries and are factual throughout. Cuba is a nightmare for most of the people,mikey knows that,butthe truth doesn’t translate to box office reciepts.
Kate,
Works for me. Concise, accurate, and poignant.
Moore on the other hand is fuzzy, deceitful, and pandering.
If I knew how to transfer his bank account to your own, I would. Sad, really.
Truth is its own reward!
Hollywood is a big problem.
Tinsel Town is a sicko itself. A Tabloid.
This is somewhat curious.
Many of the big time socialists and communists like Stalin, Moore and others were at one time seminarians and one ended up as a tyrant dictator that have had so many people killed and the other is just turning out to be a total asshole with a large following.
Now what is it in some people’s brains that somehow skip over the serve your fellow groove and goes directly to, in one case kill and another deceive and lie grooves.
There is something strange going on in the mind of some.
Looking back into the down of the idea of survival, you can see the urge to kill, deceive and lie. How is it though, that the sophists of recent past and today consider the popularity of this mode of thinking to be rather progressive.
Senator Fred Thompson has some words for MM. The Senator is expected to announce his late candidacy for the GOP nomination any day now.

Moore is milking the gullible US *Jerry Springer* sector of the TV audience. I suspect that sucks in a smaller percentage of Canadians.
Far more serious to Canadians is that the demoralized Liberal Party seems to be shooting itself in the foo.. Temple!
Have you seen their new pathetic ads? Take a look at:
CalgaryGrit.blogspot.com
No Liberals means too much NDP, so I said. .
To this conservative, these ads look almost like a Liberal attempt at suicide.
I prefer that the Liberal party get their act together and do a more sincere and effective series of ads.
There are a lot of very dedicated Canadians in the liberal party with a lot to contribute. You have some house-cleaning and re-organizing to do and I wish you would stop moping over Ignatieff and Dion and elect a real leader.
If this keeps up, Jack and the National Dipstick Party will get an upper hand, and we all know that means serious trouble for Canadians.
The Liberals have been BAD. Playing fast and loose with public money and skimming funds in so many ways, however, a Liberal Party that comes back from the edge is far better than a Liberal Party headed for quicksand.
Far wiser for Liberals to re-focus on real threats to our free enterprise lifestyle and I stress *Freedom**.
We will all have to pull together to defend against the clever stealth of fanatic Mullahs and Acmahdinejad who are just waiting to get a *starter* arsenal of Nuclear weapons to charm us with.

If Liberals fail to renew your focus now, soon it will just be too late. = TG
I imagine Mr.Moore has a ready made response for this…
http://www.therealcuba.com/Page10.htm
cuba has a better health care system than the states…what a friggin joke…the only thing cuba is superior at is suppressing the rights of it’s citizens(at gunpoint)….you know it must be a f#$%ed up place when you have the turdeau clan whorshipping at the altar of the murdering scumbag commie…if life is so wonderful in commieland, why are there boatloads of people risking their lives to leave there everyday?….moonbat morons!
Cuba is an obvious choice for Blob Moore to spout his venom against his country. He has a sympathetic ear from his comrades in Fidel’s Commie administration and put a smile on the ailing Leader’s face.
Fred Thompson would be the best choice for President. He would be the one to deal with the smart-ass wacko Blob of Lard and his ditsy Hollywood last gasp fame seeker followers.
Here in the North Country we have a problem in the makeup of our HOC, no credible Official Opposition. The dog and pony show put on with Steffawn and Iggy in QP is painful to watch. High school debaters would do better.
Putting the likes of Coderre up as Defense critic shows how seriously the Liberals take the Military. They choose the nastiest buffoon rather than someone who could constructively add to any debate.
O’Connor is a Military man, he intimidates the Liberals because they have no one in their party to equal his experience and knowledge so they’re calling for his head. Mr. O’Connor may not be good on his feet in the HOC but no one can doubt his dedication and knowledge of all things military.
Never saw such a pack of desperate fools sitting in the Opposition in memory, they’re so obviously bankrupt in every sense of the word.
The phoniest of all is their standing ovation for Dion when the Speaker opens QP with “the Honorable leader of the Opposition”, then we get the garbled questions. It is to weep.
And in your dreams
You can see yourself
As a prophet
Saving the world
The
Words from your lips
I just can’t believe
You are such
A fool
( Frank Zappa, 1969, “Oh No I don’t Believe it” )
After Moore’s ride on the back of tragedy and his vendetta on the Bush administration is spent, what answers will he and his Bozo followers have for solutions to the real threats to the world?
Castro now, the madman of Iran next?
I guess Michael Moore’s new film “Sicko” is an autobiography.
michael moore, what a jack ass. his stock portfolio at one time had a fairly high % of haliburton churning out money for him.
Then if MIKEY(MUTTONHEAD)MOORE thinks CUBA has such superior hosptals then why dont he go live there im sure his good buddy FIDEL CASTRO would enjoy his company and his trashy movies
Connect the dots and follow the money.
The dots:
MM has become a very successful capitalist by saying what his *audience* wants/needs to hear/see. Hollywood elevates and lauds him because he produces the *documentaries* that provide the *true picture* to the underbelly of America that they percieve to lie beyond their city limits. They don’t have to go look, and maybe get their shoes dirty, because MM brings it to them on film. They can see it in their *format*, therefore it must/does exist.
Far-left leaning liberals and socialists elevate, laud, and even emulate MM because he says what they *know* to be the *truth*. Reasoning with facts is not necessary when everything they actually need/want to know is encapsulated in award-winning documentaries. They see the actual images and hear the sound bites presented to them, and those fit what was already *perceived* to be, therefore the documentary is elevated once more to *history*. Context is never an issue, only a word.
The money:
There is a pipeline of money flowing to MM, who has risen from the lie, of the “humble beginnings” that he likes to portray, to the lucrative stage that the far left has built for him. To him, from his audience, lie is spelled $$$.
His audience has been raised on hand-fed *facts* offered to them in small bites from the MSM and Hollywood. He offers them what they want; they give him their money. To them his offerings are fillet mignon, they pay accordingly. He offers proof and truth to their preconceived notions in two-hour long buffets. They gorge themselves and give him their money. He preys upon their voraciously anti, factless, short attention span; they give him their money.
His home state is a must-issue state. I’m pretty sure his bodyguards are probably packing that nasty heat while driving him to the bank. They will probably also be packing when he finally needs some serious medical treatment and they haul his ass down the freeway to the University of Michigan Medical Center. They will have to go right past Detroit Metro International Airport, but there will be no quick stop to check the connections to Cuba. There is no money down there to be given to him.
If MM was to ever produce a documentary that sounded a positive note about America, drenched in fact and valid in it’s context, the lines between the dots would be broken and the valve to the money pipe would be slammed closed.
Prediction: his next documentary expose will be about the non-assimilation and persecution of Muslims and Arabs in Dearbornistan, just a bit down the road from his *humble* beginnings. Jimmy Carter will have a cameo appearance.
Tg- thanks for the link. Yes, the Liberal ‘ads’ are pathetic. Juvenile and childish words and concepts – ie, essentially these cheap blurbs were saying that the Conservatives deliberately changed their name from PC, to Alliance to Reform – as a tactic to manipulate the public.
This ignores the ideological change in the Conservative Party, which had been a centralist Old Guard party (the PC), located in Ontario-Quebec (just like the Liberals) and reacted to the economic and demographic Rise of the West – and became, eventually, the Conservative Party.The Liberals didn’t react and haven’t reacted to this important change in Canada.
These ads, produced for nothing, are using the internet AND the MSM to get to the public. The Liberals, who have no money, (don’t the public support them???) are using the Liberal MSM to air their ads – rather unethical.
But note that the Liberals are manipulating the issues – the Conservative Party changed because it moved out of a centralist base to an all-Canadian base. The Liberals haven’t done this; they remain, as they were, a generation ago and have no modern policies or ideas.
The Liberal party – our very own Michael Moore of propaganda and manipulation.
Mr. Moore is a guy with questionable morals who has discovered an easy way to make money. Just pander to hate and your movie will sell. It won’t sell like Spiderman 3, but then it won’t cost $250 million either.
Leni Riefenstahl did the same thing, she was just better at it.
someone on Sounds like Canada CBC Thursday morning panel was trying to blame the latest shooting in a high school in Toronto on the fact that kids have seen Stephen Harper dressed in army fatigues in Afganistan – yup I’m sure that’s why those teenagers had guns – great analysis CBC
Yoop Mikie Moore is no capitalists he is a socialists scumbag and hypotcrit
ex-liberal – taht’s quite the CBC analysis!
Does this mean that if kids see Stephen Harper dressed in a suit and tie, in parliament, then they will all want to become politicians?
Harper is an economist; does this mean that more kids are applying to economic studies?
MM is living proof there is big money in mobilizing the paranoia of the suburban moonbat left…he spins tales that appeal to their suspicions that some vast conspiracy of the right is to blame for (essentially) the inability of his audience to become successful…ya see it’s not a matter of their underacheivement or stifling phobias that holds them beck…it’s someone else’s fault…Charlton heston or Bush or GM or “the corporations” who conspire to keep good subsidy addicted leftists down.
Moor offers a palusable mythology for the psychotic left to make sense of their own failures and crippling paranoia.
M M does not do documentaries. M M produces fiction dressed up as truth. He is therefore a liar and a fraud.
