Michael Moore, Hypocrite

“I hope somebody releases it, and soon!”

“Well there are some pretty bad Jerry Liewis movies that get rave rewiews in France too. I think we need a better measuring device.”

“How about an Academy Award?”

“Three words...Lost...In...Translation. The Oscars are hardly credible.

I'm going to have to wait and see how the Messiah (Bush) rules on it. :O”

“Lost in translation was a great movie!”

“I thought all the fancy pants elitists would like to know this:

'Fahrenheit 9/11' Wins Palme D'Or Award at Cannes

CANNES, France (Reuters) - Michael Moore's controversial anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the Palme d'Or best film award at the Cannes film festival on Saturday.”

“I want to see that movie.”

“What you expect?

HOLLYWOOD?
FRANCE?

JIHAD BUSH!”

“I don't think elitists are the only ones who are fans of Moore.”

“I'll bet OSAMA LOVES Moore's movies!

JHAD BUSH”

“moore is an #&%!$.”

“Yeah, people who tell the truth suck!”

“he tells partial stories. that isn't what i call the truth. he's a hate mongering dickhead.”

“How's that banjo pickin' coming along, Baume66?”

“fair to middlin. i'm getting where i can move through most of my four finger chords at about 180 bpm. i haven't been working on any songs in particular as far as tab goes. just trying to get the chords down so i can keep up in a jam better.

how about you?”

“Been trying to play along and learn tunes from a few Garcia/Grisman CDs I have..."Shady Grove" and "Not For Kids Only". And last week I bought another "How To Teach Yourself..." book on older styles (no finger picks) of banjo playing.

Other than that I've been making progress but really haven't been learning a ton of new stuff, just polishing up on what I already know.”

“For all of Michael Moore's faults, I can't think of a single person who's been killed because of his 'partial stories'.”

“I will go and see it.


I'm looking forward to it.”

“i don't recall saying anyone was killed by his partial stories. i said i don't see partial stories as someone speaking the "truth". i also said he is a dickhead.

i stand by both statements.”

“Did you see Bolwing for Columbine? Why is he a dickhead, because he spoke out aginst the war?”

“yes, i saw bowling for columbine. he used children to try and make the public hate on k-mart. that whole movie was bs in my opinioin.”

“what was bs? the facts?”

“That's what I thought.”

“the facts? if he would present all the facts instead of just the ones that make everything appear just as he wants to lead people it would be different. he shows only one side of the "facts".

he's a dickhead.”

“Moore's an agitator who doesn't do much to actually analyze anything, from everything I've seen.”

“I like him.


I like his art.

I will be one of the first people in line.

He's not the only, or first person, to present only one side.

Honestly, I like that side better at the momment.”

“Some of the greatest writers of all time - Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, etc. - used satire to make their points.

They exaggerated reality to illuminate ridiculus viewpoints.

I'd also direct your attention to a man named Rush Limbaugh. He's got a little radio show that seems to be on a lot of stations. He's used satire often on his show.

Moore makes legitimate movies with legitimate, satirical points.”

“Hey guys, quit hatin' on Moore! He's the fat white Ann Coulter.

He's one fine actor too. My favorite quote from one of his movies was when he said, "Hohee towah Han Solo." in the second maovie when he captured Princess Leah.”

“rush is a dickhead too.”

“Phaed said it best. Rush and Moore both do more harm than good to their respective viewpoints , and anyone who defends either man is incredibly naive.”

“i wish moore would do a piece on legalization of the herb”

“Funny how the movie hasn’t even been released yet and so many have made up their minds about it. Can I get another lecture on being closed-minded?”

“i didn't say anything about his unreleased movie, i said it about him.

now if you would quit only looking at the side that makes it easier for you to....................”

“All I know is that baumee farts when sleeping on the second story of a shelter. THAT IS AN UNDISPUTED FACT DAMMIT!

So who are you gonna believe, me, or a high altitude farter?”

“Buddha,

I respect a person that blows their flatulance out of the correct orifice.”

“the facts? if he would present all the facts instead of just the ones that make everything appear just as he wants to lead people it would be different. he shows only one side of the "facts".

he's a dickhead."

By those standards, George Dubya must be the supreme dickhead. See: Bushs reasons to go to war in Iraq.”

“I recently watched two great documentaries, both related to what is going on right now in America.

"Fog of War" - McNamara is interviewed about his Vietnam policies, and he reflects on his actions.

"The Weatherman Underground" - 60' and 70's anti-war, anti-imperialism protesters interviewed. The documentary illustrates a piece of forgotton history that deserves another look, especially now.”

“Protestors don't use bombs terrorists do.”

“LMAO tilt!”

“BURN!”

“Did you just call GWB and his admin terrorists? I agree.

BTW - None of the bombs made by The Weatherman killed any people, except for 3 of thier own during a mishap.”

“How does that matter?
Its good no one go hurt but the intent to terrorise remains the same.”

“No HPM, Bush made them the way they are. Through his complex network of events he has created this butterfly effect that effects all things. W farts in Washington and a child dies in the middle east. The rain on your last backpacking trip? Yeah, that was him too. He hates us!”

“Buddha I watched the Weathermen doc. as well. Very interesting. I agree with HPM though. The fact that their bombs didn't kill anyone other than three of the morons making them does not justify their actions.”

“uh.....didn't we Americans terrorize the British, in their view of course.

This uproar about Mike Moore is silly. Don't go see it. I think he's half full of crap myself, but has some good points to make.

When Clinton was president there were many propaganda films made about him, saying he was involved in drugs, etc.

Don't get your panties all twisted about him.”

“True Jo. At the end of the year Shrek 2 will have made more of an impact and will have won more awards than fatazz's movie.”

“Yes, it's all in the POV, isn't it?

On the subject of creative political labelling, I heard a good one this AM on C-SPAN...

"insurgent cleric" Muqtada al-Sadr


What is an 'insurgent' anyway? Is that the new handy term for when you want to call someone a terrorist, but in a 'round-about way?

I wonder if they qualify for protection under the Geneva Conventions...”

“in·sur·gent

Pronunciation: -j&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin insurgent-, insurgens, present participle of insurgere to rise up, from in- + surgere to rise -- more at SURGE
1 : a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially : a rebel not recognized as a belligerent
2 : one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one's own political party


Hmmm. There's no established gov't for them to rebel against. Another def'n mentioned a 'constituted authority'...

constituted -- adjective: brought about or set up or accepted; especially long established...

Hmm. Not really, it would seem. Still kindof a stretch at this juncture.”

“Okay now you're just talking to the voices in your head.”
