Why I have nothing but contempt for Michael Moore

Bowling for Columbine is a good start. Moore is already guilty of stealing an award from legitimate documentarists. I suppose his supporters' defense for this is that he 'did it for the right reasons'. I guess the ends justify the means in their book. Not in mine.

Mike, recant your award acceptance speech, return the award, give back the money, and publicly apologize to all the real documentarists you were unfairly grouped with at Cannes. While you're at it, a public apology to Charleton Heston, and the entire membership of the NRA would also be a nice gesture. No, Mike, I'm not a member. I merely possess basic literacy skills and am able to understand that the phrase: "Congress shall make no laws abridging the right to keep and bear arms' is pretty much in direct contravention to any and all gun-control statutes made by the federal government. The states can pass all the gun control they want, the feds have no jurisdiction over the matter.

So I am opposed to federal gun-control because it's frankly illegal. If the Founding Fathers were alive today, they'd be passing AK-47s around to their buddies and storming Capitol Hill to take back the country. Too bad we modern-day Americans are a bunch of fat lazy cowards that won't so much as twitch a whisker unless our own fat ass is directly threatened. The neighbors down the street are being carted off by the secret police? Screw 'em, 'Lost' is on, pass the popcorn and get me another beer.

In his first film, Roger & Me, in 1989, he actually had a legitimate point, the auto industry really did screw Flint, MI over. They flipped it and did it dry, in point of fact. But even then, even when he had a valid point to make, he was still a raging asshole. His attempts at getting interviews were calculated to fail, they were so belligerent. He wanted to be refused an interview so he could look at the camera and plaintively ask us: "What are they hiding?"

His tactics have only gotten less savory over the years, he's only become more of a thug since then. If you find yourself on the receiving end of an MM 'documentary', you can expect to be threatened, harassed, chased around, and basically hounded. You can also expect anything you do say to be spliced and edited until it says exactly what suits Moore's purposes. Refusing an interview with Moore is like looking both ways before you cross the street. It's a common sense basic safety procedure. If you discuss the local sports team with him on an elevator, don't be surprised if the microphone in his pocket records you saying things like, "Oh, he's great!", in response to questions that have nothing at all to do with your favorite quarterback or pitcher.

Michael Moore is a dishonest, greedy, manipulative, opportunistic piece of slime. He profits from lying to gullible people about other people that the first group doesn't like. He's personally profited to the tune of $21 million off the 9-11 attacks. Anyone who credits him with anything remotely positive is just enabling his victimization of them.

Michael Moore makes his living by lying to his fans in general, the Democratic Party in the USA in particular, and all liberals everywhere. For people who supposedly want to do away with various false things like stereotypes, racism (it's based on ignorance and lies), and the Republican Party (a cadre of liars and cheats if ever there was one), they swallow his swill hook, line, and stinker. I guess hearing what you want to believe is better than hearing anything accurate.

Mind you, I'm no fan of Dubya. I think the 'War in Iraq' should have been the 'War in' 'Iran', 'Saudi Arabia', or 'North Korea' if it were going to be anything at all. I think Dubya stole two elections, let 9-11 happen because he wanted a war, and lied about just about everything he's said since he learned to speak (About 9 years ago from the sound of things, I mean sweet Tom Cullen, what a retard!! M-O-O-N, that spells president, right Dickie?)

It's definitely right to criticize Dubya, it's definitely right to protest our presence in Iraq. But no matter what it is you are trying to accomplish, lying, cheating, and stealing is not the right way to go about it. Moore lies to his fans (movie-goers), cheats real documentarists out of awards, and steals the spotlight everywhere he goes to further aggrandize himself, for no apparent purpose other than to remain in the spotlight and sell more movie tickets.

Liberals of the world, wake up. This man is not, and never has been, your friend. He considers you nothing but cattle to feed on, and you dumbly stumble up the ramp into his gaping maw every time you buy a ticket to one of his schlockumentaries.

Conservatives of the world, wake up. Dubya is not now, nor has he ever been, your friend. He pays lip service to your concerns while he abuses his power to make himself and his wealthy friends wealthier at yours and my expenses.

Do the right thing in 2008, vote only for independent candidates. Let not one Republican nor one Democrat retain a place of power in this country. End their reigns of stupidity, greed and corruption forever.
