Mickey Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Exactly right. It isn't Republicans who clung to Moore...it was the Dems. The Republicans were just smart enough to understand that his message of hate wasn't going to sell. Apparently, Moore and his fans still haven't learned that message. btw, do you have that cartoon? Sounds like a classic. 112885[/snapback] Right, because voters are not seduced by a "message of hate" which is why Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and the like play to empty halls and their books collect dust on the shelves. Not. Why is it so arrogant and hateful for Yankees to imply that the midwest and south is full of a bunch of racist rubes and yet it is perfectly okay for them to refer to Yankees as elitist, country club radicals and claim that they are the "real" America, they are the "heartland"? That election was a contest between messages of hate that should leave the winners and losers alike disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BiB_ Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Given the reaction around here that the mere mention of his name invariably invokes, I can only conclude that Moore is getting the best of you guys. Remember, the opposite of love is not rage, it is apathy. 112889[/snapback] If it weren't for all of those on the left who consider him the Messiah, it would be.

BuffOrange Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 GOOD MORNING: Michael Moore met with Harvey Weinstein and Moore says they plan to start working -- now -- on "Fahrenheit 9/11½." "We want to get cameras rolling now and have it ready in two-three years," Moore says. "We want to document and commercialize it. Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now. Right now the film is a communication tool to express the truth and educate people. The first time somebody calls him out on his bullstevestojan, he'll change his mind and call it an editorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I never thought I'd defend Michael Moore, but the following quote from the article is pretty accurate. Moore says. "Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth." Moore is 100% right. Everyone who saw his movie were not told the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Weak arguement pudding head. 113082[/snapback] Just a thought... The points you make in your posts might be better received if you were to ease off on the name calling a bit. By doing so, the content of your post will become the topic of debate, and the it won't always degenerate into a counter-productive argument about who's the bigger "pudding head."

I have to start wondering if Moore might really just be a double agent on Karl Rove's payroll. His lies about Bush in "Cholesteral 911" were so pathetic and over the top that much of America basically discounted *any* criticism of Bush as the same type of lies and distortions. The same reason Dan Rather and the New York Times rendered themselves useless by election day. What is he planning on doing for the sequel? Lying more? Lying harder? He's either incredibly stupid for thinking he can damage Bush or incredibly smart for cashing in and snatching up all the money from the same morons who gave him a cool $100 mil this past summer.

Mickey Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 So it that true about the name "Bush" when it comes to you lefties? Weak arguement pudding head. 113082[/snapback] If you have something to say besides name calling, do check in again. If you had ever read any of my posts regarding the President over the last year you would know that I never claimed to "hate" Bush nor have I ever attacked him, just disagreed with many, though not all, of his policies. I know that might not fit your stereotype of "lefties" but if your mind requires that type of shorthand thinking to get through the day, I won't bother taxing you with the labors of genuine thought. Bush is the President of the United States, not a mere film maker. Pretty difficult to ignore the President in discussions on a political discussion board don't you think? Do you really think it is valid to compare the attention given to the President to that given to a film maker's plan to make another film? Moore gets under your skin and the more you squeal about it, the more coverage he gets and the more people hear his message and see his films.

blzrul Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Well all the folks who didn't see the first movie (but criticized it anyway) must be happy that they have 2-3 years to criticize the second (and not see it either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeBill Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Michael Moore is a goon. An idiot. He takes things out of context and he does it so often, it's a wonder if he even is trying to hide the fact. I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 (for free... I'd never support him) and couldn't even count the number of lies. He's a creep! *Actually I voted for Kerry, before I voted against him* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore gets under your skin and the more you squeal about it, the more coverage he gets and the more people hear his message and see his films. 113203[/snapback] I am just so tired of hearing "michael moore gets under you skin, so he most be winning" or similar arguments. He obviously is not winning, just look at the past election for proof. What Michael Moore has found is a niche market for his pseudo documentaries, which makes him a lot of money. There is small, but dedicate crowd of Bush haters who will lap up anything he sells. But the real sad part is, most of these folks who support his movies and pay $50 to hear him speak really don't know all of his views, partly because he only states them while he is out of the country. Here is partial list of his quotes: "The passengers on the hijacked planes were cowards and did not fight back, because the were mostly white" (Wonder what Mrs, Todd Beamer would think if she heard that) "F**k small business. They are the rednecks that keep the nooses around small towns" "Let all the mexicans who want to move here come on over. There is plenty of room in Kansas" (Uh, don't you think you would want to check with the farmers in that state before you bring them all over) "The dumbest Canadian is smarter than the smartest America" ( I don't know were to start with that one). So just keep in mind, when people get pissed of at Moore for getting $30,000 a night and a private jet ride to speak at a college (and giving no money to charity), or when he makes money off selling a CD called "Music from and inspired by Fahrenheit 9/11", there is more to the anger than just his dislike of Bush. PS. Since Osma came out and admitted to doing the terrorist acts of 9/11, doesn't that shoot down his theory that is was planned by Bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 The people who went to his "movie" were dem party lemmings. The local Hollywood Video had it. on one of the first days it was available. There were tons of copies and all of them were still on the shelf. Nobody was renting it. They are all probably in the $4.99 bin now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
