  1. Oh come on Kate he is way too fat to be a weasel. A super stout stoat maybe but definitely not a weasel.

  2. Not bad for a multi-millionaire who lives in Manhattan, sends his kids to private school and charges over $30,000 for speaking gigs.
    Who are the idiots that lap up this hypocritical drivel?

  3. It has been stated elsewhere—Michael Moore is a big fat liar.
    In his “Roger” movie he claimed that the President of GM would talk to him while in reality Moore had hours of interviews….
    Farenheit 911 plays to sold out houses in the ME—-in principle he is financed by Al Qaida…..
    He’s not really worth a bullet,,,,,,,

  5. “Oh come on Kate he is way too fat to be a weasel. A super stout stoat maybe but definitely not a weasel.”
    No, I think you mean Hutt, as in Michael-the-Hutt.

  6. Would somebody please harpoon that critter Moby Moore and melt him down for lamp oil? 🙂

  7. chip, have you ever visited daily kos, huffington post, or wondered why people like bill maher and jon stewart still have jobs?
    There’s your answer. Enough sheep and lemmings in the world to make these people millionaires. Somehow the herds of animals lap up their poisonous bile on a daily basis.

  8. More of the same drivel from this self-proclaimed, righteous hypocrite who has done well under this so-called evil system.

  10. A real documentary made by people who studied Mickey Moore and his movies. Two Canadians reveal MM’s fabrications in their Documentary; Manufacturing Discent .
    Another good Youtube video is Farenhype 9/11 in 8 parts. Well worth the time and really reveals the BS this overstuffed weasel comes out with.

  13. Capitalism is based on voluntary trade for mutual benefit by free individuals. This is obviously not evil; it is consistent with the principles of justice. The system does not “condemn millions to poverty”; it has proved to be the only one that can eradicate poverty. Things may have got worse in recent decades since Big Government started expanding out of control — but under capitalism, you don’t have a Big Government such as we do now.
    Socialism is a system of violence against the individual, either by a totalitarian or authoritarian state or by one nation against another in war. It’s favoured by power-hungry thugs desperate to pretend they’re great human beings without doing anything to earn it.
    In short, capitalism is about productive individuals while socialism is about looters.
    From the article: “You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy”. Let’s not forget that odious regimes like North Korea and the former East Germany called themselves “democratic”.
    Re the “uncomfortably close relationship between banks, politicians and U.S. Treasury officials, meaning that regulation has been changed to favor the few on Wall Street rather than the many on Main Street” in which “by encouraging Americans to borrow against the value of their homes, businesses created the conditions that led to the crisis, and with it homelessness and unemployment”: that ain’t capitalism. Under capitalism, the government backs off and doesn’t “encourage” anyone to do anything. He’s blaming capitalism for the sins of its enemies.
    As for “Essentially we have a law which says gambling is illegal but we’ve allowed Wall Street to do this and they’ve played with people’s money and taken it into these crazy areas of derivatives”, frankly I kind of wonder about some of that stock market stuff too, but I’ll bet you’ll find it traces back to the establishment of the Federal Reserve, and that ain’t capitalism either. Capitalism should have a gold standard.
    I’m not in favour of the massive bailout or “stimulus” — guess what, that ain’t capitalism either.
    Bottom line: again, he blames capitalism for the sins of its destroyers — the regulators and bureaucrats.
    The poster boy for obesity doesn’t like freedom or justice too much, that’s his problem. He’s smart and funny, but on the wrong side. Lord only knows why.

  14. Looking forward to the free screening when it opens in my town. (don’t mind paying for the popcorn though)

  15. Michael is so right, and so many more of the downtrodden would see his movies if he would release them, free of charge, on youtube.
    Just a thought for the corpulent, benevolvent one.

  16. Gunney:
    Two tries, and you couldn’t spell “dissent” either time?
    But really – who doesn’t think that Moore was the fat quasi-brainy kid, who, like Martin Prince on the Simpsons, got tormented regularly by his peers? He’s married, it’s true, but does anyone think his wife regularly has relations with this obese whale? I’d like to indulge in idle speculation about his size, stamina, etc., but that would be stooping to Democrat standards. I think he’s enormously frustrated and determined to get back at the people who put him down – which, in a way, kind of describes PET and Cretin, doesn’t it?

  17. Sasquatch has it right.
    You always run into semi-conservatives who’ll admit to a soft spot for Moore’s first film, Roger & Me.
    Of course, as in Gay Talese’s seminal magazine piece “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold,” the film’s premise is that the director can’t get an interview with the movie’s main subject.
    Except: there are hours of footage of Moore with the head of GM. He asked for an interview early on, and it was granted readily.
    But that wouldn’t have made much of a movie, right…
    So Moore pretended that the GM boss wouldn’t talk to him. And he became a millionaire. Heck, his personal net worth must be comparable to that GM fellow’s by now…

  18. Condo Vultures?
    vultures provide a extremely vital role. they clean up the carcasses of inevitably deceased wildlife. can you imagine billions of dead animals littering the landscape? likewise vacant repos are an invitation to set up a crack house.
    until the Condo or perhaps they should say ‘Condor’ people come along and put the thing back on the market.
    OTOH Mr Moore appears to be dead set against the bailout. this is a good thing.

  19. MM reminds me of a gross, unpopular, teenager who is willing to abase himself in any way to get the attention and approval of the “rich cool kids” of lefty Hollywood and New York. If I wanted to make a doc movie, I would start with MM’s old high school buddies and fellow workers on the GM Suburban production line. The complete silence of sources others than himself about his early years rivals the Obama iron curtain maintained by the MSM. I wonder if there was a red slut back there someplace who reeled him in like they did for so many other hopeless misfits.

  21. Who are the idiots that lap up this hypocritical drivel?

    But, but , but, he still wears a ball cap, so he must be legit.
    Right?

  22. Posted by: Joe Citizen at September 7, 2009 8:14 AM
    Watch a MM flick? I did that once, I still feel slightly dirty.

  23. odd – I thought the financial crises was brought on by US social policy. You know the policy that forced the financial system to lend money to unqualified people.

  25. Churchill said something something like, “I need not consume the entire cake to know that it’s rotten.” Who knew he’d been lifting Twain’s material all along?
    You gotta love the way Moore portrayed Toronto as a crime-free utopian society in Bowling For Columbine.

  26. Can we take all of Michael Moore’s money? He doesn’t need it because he says money is EVIL!
    CHEEEEEEESE!!!!

  27. “How about we watch it before we comment!!”
    Thank you, no. I do believe I’d rather climb the Himalayas in clogs.
    My uninterest in Moore and anything he represents precludes my wasting a moment on him or his films.
    I rather suspect that, lacking the hated Bush-Cheney regime to revile anymore, and his own man in the White House now, Moore will be increasingly marginalized. After all, it’s hard to “rage against the machine” when it’s your machine.
    Moore is effectively trapped in his own parallel “progressive” universe; like Cindy Sheehan, he stands to be spurned and rejected should he earn the disapproval of the Obamatistas who now run the “system”.

  28. What Moore is actually railing against is not Capitalism at all. It is corporate fascism. The government and big business in the US have too much of an incestuous relationship and it is evil but it has nothing to do with capitalism. It is just another form of socialism.

  29. Methinks the Left has pretty much made Michael Moore its official propaganda filmmaker.
    As for seizing assets, why do I get the feeling that George Soros’s assets should be seized? If Soros wasn’t a Leftist, the state apparatus would be all over him like they were all over the obviously-innocent Conrad Black for nothing, and they’d be finding all sorts of irregularities particularly vis-a-vis election campaign financing and partisan/ideological communications and so on and so forth. No way in hell is it all above-board… no way.

  31. What is so astonishing is Moore’s statement that capitalism and democracy are polar opposites. This doesn’t make sense.
    Capitalism is an economic system that is based around private ownership of the production of goods and services. Its opposite is socialism, which promotes collective rather than individual and private ownership.
    Democracy is not an economic system but a method of decision-making in a political system; democracy takes as its population base for such decision-making, all of its citizens.
    The US is both a capitalist economy, which means its production capacities belong to private citizens rather than the state, and a democracy, which means its decision-making capacities rest with the citizens.
    However, for Moore to merge these two, and try to insist that economic decisions in private businesses ought to instead be made by the state or the collective, is ridiculous. I haven’t noticed that he allows collective decision-making over his economic activities.

  32. Michael Moore is a HIPPOCRITAMUS.
    Does he actually that there is any other system that could produce enough greasy fast food to keep his weight up where he apparently likes it?
    I think he sees socialism as a sure fire diet plan for himself and that’s it.

  33. ET is right. Capitalism and Democracy go hand in hand – both are strongly rooted in personal freedom and choice.
    Dear Michael Moore – who will decide? And if I oppose your decision, how far will you take your coercion and control?
    The answers to these questions are far more disturbing than any you have ever bothered to ask.

  34. I once went to a Michael Moore movie (can’t recall which, not memorable) because my friend paid my way so as to get my feelings on it. Throughout the show people actually booed whenever George W appeared. There was no attempt whatsoever at fair
    comment, nothing that wasn’t posed or taken out of context and the audience actually applauded after the viewing. Who were they applauding? Obviously
    themselves and their self-righteousness.

  35. Actually a while back, I was pondering Moore’s absense with all the leftist noise—he was strangely absent.
    I guess he wasn’t invited to the AGW or Hope/change parties…in fact likely excluded….
    My take is he is now as irrelevant as Cindy Sheehan now.

  38. To me, socialism looks a lot like an extrapolated tribal system. A collective is much like a tribe, no one has any particular responsibility because there is no ‘individual’ in the equation. There is usually a very small ruling elite such as a family or a committee who squabble while the proletariat wait in the wings for instructions on how to live and what to do next.
    While waiting a lot of graffiti gets published, property gets destroyed, stuff gets stolen, people drink a lot and take drugs. All signs of the hopelessness that sets in once one resigns to the evil and childish ideas of communism/collectivism/tribalism/totalitarianism/secularism/disarmamentism … add your particular “ism” at will.
    There is no incentive do achieve anything or even clean up a mess since you get nothing for it and it’s not yours anyway. If you have anything or do anything above, behind or around anyone else you will be envied and hated and reported to the ruling elites of your tribe/collective whatever.
    The tribal system is unproductive in large numbers. Collectives come in large numbers or they would be called tribes.
    Perhaps that is why all collectives are impoverished as are all tribal cultures such as Middle East without the oil money. Canadian Natives with the current enforced tribal apartheid, the socialist nationalism and tribal tendency of Quebec. The former Soviet Union. Cuba.
    The many examples are in high density living color, yet the loons and goons of the left deny, deny, deny. It is pointless to debate it with them when we know they are incapable of making the leap to free thinking, free living, self-reliant human beings. We must run rough shod over them and force them to comply with those of us who truly know what is best for humanity.
    That can be summed up in one word. FREEDOM … and lots of it!
    If we must have a human rights commission, it’s goal should be to protect achievers from leftist envy. The pursuit of happiness stated in the American constitution (and what that implies) is the only human right we truly need.

  40. In order to watch a Michael Moore film, you have to suspend your “disbelief” mechanism, just like you do at a “Harry Potter” movie.
    BUT, it IS essential after the MM flick, that you turn the mechanism back ON, and check out the claims he makes in his propaganda vehicles.
    They DO NOT stand up to the least bit of scrutiny, MM’s a propagandist and a liar,and a very RICH one at that,nothing more.
    When I want to see MM’s latest, I’ll “borrow” it from the internet and give it my full attention from beginning to end.
    I know it’s “stealing”, something that used to be a great sin but is perfectly acceptable nowadays,but thieves and liars aspire to high positions these days, and succeed in getting there, so I’ll not lose any sleep over it.

  41. Not worth a comment as far as a movie goes, but I would only point out that Oliver Stone’s movie about how wonderful Chavez is is playing right next door at the festival. This year’s Film Festival’s Theme seem to be the Anti-Capitalist Radical Leftist Poster Boys for the Decline of the Western World Make Movies glorifying the Socialist Way.
    Then like minded lefties pick a winner.
    The sad part is they believe what they say and seem unaware of the lessons of history as to the fates of socialist governments and the events unfolding about them.
    All Hail our Glorious Leaders who call us their children and who in the name of social equity simply take appoint themselves leaders for life (fixed elections included free of charge) from others to give to us for only the cost of our social and economic freedoms and for some their physical freedam as well.

  42. Comrades Moore and Stone are performing a valuable service in the re-education of the ignorant masses.

  43. The United States was not designed as a democracy. It is supposed to be a republic. The difference being that in a republic there are limits to the power of government and the people that protect the property rights of the minority from the majority. In a democracy the majority can vote away the property of the majority in the name of social justice.

  44. I think this genius is very illuminating, in that, properly rendered, he could fuel a lot of green lamps. May he ever burn brightly in the windows of our mud huts.

  45. kevin – please, please, don’t fall into the pop culture trap of misunderstanding the term ‘democracy’.
    The US is BOTH a republic AND a democracy. The term ‘republic’ doesn’t mean ‘limits to the power of government’, for constitutional monarchies and parliamentary systems ALSO function within the constraints of ‘limits to the power of government’.
    The term ‘republic’ means that there is no hereditary authority; it means that the ultimate political and legal authority is non-hereditary ‘the people’ or their representatives’.
    The term ‘democracy’ refers to ‘how are decisions made’…within a republic or a monarchy or an aristotcracy or…
    It simply means that decisions are derived from a majority vote of a SET of the population. This SET can be made up of all citizens, or all landowners, or all Nobles, or all the members of the Senate, or all the members of the House of Commons.
    BUT, in all political systems, this democratic vote is CONSTRAINED with a set of rules – which are made up, usually, of a Constitution, and a set of legal jurisprudence.
    So, the federal govt in Canada can’t make decisions about provincial or municipal affairs. It can’t make decisions about a financial cost without understanding that this is a vote of confidence, etc. There are lots of rules that restrict the government – including that it must hold elections every few years, it must ‘sit’ at least once a year, and so on.
    In the US, only the House can pass financial bills, and, all bills must adhere to the criteria of the Constitution. The US has lots of rules constraining government, including that important Amendment 10, which gives all non-stated federal mandates..to the states and the people.
    It is only in the degenerate mode of democracy, which doesn’t exist in any society– where NO RULES governing the mandate of the organization exist, and where a simple majority whim, is considered valid. Indeed, I can’t think of any such situation where this unconstrained mode of ‘democracy’, its degenerate mode, would function.
    So, please, clear up your understanding of these important terms.

  47. ET,
    One need not remove constraints on democracy to create a degenerate mode of democracy. One need only honor the form of the constraints while gutting them of substance or selectively reinterpreting enumerated powers in one arena to nullify the constraints in another. Happens all the time.
    Lou

  48. And then there is Oliver Stone. http://tinyurl.com/nupr9l
    “Chavez, who landed in Venice for the film’s premiere, has earned a reputation for his outspoken criticism of U.S. policy, and in Stone’s “South of the Border” he is sympathetically portrayed as a hero of the people who refuses to be bullied.”

  49. “Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil”
    Oh, we should then let it run wild?
    No, apparently he doesn’t like that.
    He wants to legislate it out of existence?
    Is not legislation regulation?
    So confused. I guess I don’t have the brains to be a Democrat.

  50. Kevin you actually take Wiki as being authoritative?
    Oh my. Have you sought professional help for that?
