  • Michael Moore a miserable failure?

    I've read some of Michael Moore's stuff, and I think he is a big fat liar.

    His book, Stupid White Men, shows he is another big fat liar.

    Bowling for Columbine, shows he is another big fat liar.

    Dude Where's My Country shows he's another big fat liar.

                Interesting. For those that don't know Google bombing (or whacking apparently) is causing the Google engine to retrieve one particular site when searching for two words.

                "miserable failure" used to get you George Bush's site in isolation.

                However, just run a search and it now has (in order)
                Dubya
                Jimmy Carter
                Michael Moore
                Dick Gephardt (ironically a page on his site calling Dubya a miserable failure)
                Hillary Clinton

                as well as a few commentary pages.

                I guess it is just hurling mud around in this context. Why else would anyone ever search for that phrase?

                      Yeah, lol, good ole' Michael Moore....
                      How this for a description?




                      Found this revealing article on him also:
                      "Michael Moore: Class Clown"
                      Link:
                      http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=11470

                      Excerpts:

                      "Those willing to call themselves "liberals" in these 2002 exit polls shrank to only 17 percent – roughly one voter in six – while conservatives increased to include more than one voter in three.

                      Moore’s self-deluded book has spent the past 10 weeks on the liberal New York Times Nonfiction Bestseller List (bumped down to #4 this week by fellow Lefty Al Franken’s competing anti-American screed). But, truth be told, a Politically Correct author can climb this list with only a few thousand book sales in the right (that is, the Left) bookstores. The larger question with this, as with all of Michael Moore’s books and film "documentaries," is whether they should be listed as Nonfiction or as fiction.

                      Moore faces what Karl Marx called internal contradictions. If the nation were as Leftist as he claims, his book would be nothing more than a simpleton repetition of common beliefs......

                      But Moore knows that his fellow Americans elected Republicans to run the Senate, House and White House and are likely to do so again in 2004. The aim of his latest propaganda polemic is to rationalize and then reverse this, to achieve "regime change" in the United States.

                      Americans vote Republican, contrary to their own self-interest, writes Moore, because wealthy capitalist oil men have hypnotized them with an illegitimate war in Iraq, fear of terrorists, and a few crumbs from a tax cut (given mostly to the wealthy) that feeds the American Horatio Alger myth that we all can succeed.

                      "Horatio Alger Must Die," writes Moore. Americans should stop trying to become rich. Instead they should desert the War on Terror and enlist in the Class War. Our best chance for a halfway pleasant life, he argues, is to tax all wealth away from the rich and redistribute it to ourselves in the form of welfare, government healthcare and other benefits.

                      "You are never going to be rich" like Horatio Alger, writes Moore. "The chance of that happening is about one in a million." (This means that in our nation of 293 million people, we have only 293 millionaires.…when in fact we have literally millions of citizens with a net worth in excess of a million dollars – and would have millions more if government greed and excessive taxation could be ended…but is it fair to apply logic to an utterly irrational hyper-Leftist ideologue like Moore?)

                      The problem with this pudgy messenger born 49 years ago into a working class family in Flint, Michigan, is that Michael Moore IS that one in a million who, in the jargon of Leftspeak, "won life’s lottery."......

                      But Michael Moore is very secretive about his own private life and how many dollars he makes. The amount of his income might be embarrassing to this foe of capitalism. Somebody might ask how this self-proclaimed champion of the proletariat justifies keeping, after taxes, millions and millions of dollars for himself instead of giving it all to the poor. Or some fellow socialist might ask why Moore takes this tax cut at all instead of telling the big government he loves so much to keep the money, government being so much better at spending our money than we are.

                      "Michael Moore would never withstand the scrutiny he lays on other people," says his former manager Douglas Urbanski. "You would think that he’s the ultimate common man. But he’s money-obsessed."...."



                      Yes sir...good ole' Michael Moore....continuing to make that 'buck' off the youth world-wide.....never giving a crap about nothing but spouting his same old rhetoric and agendas.......

                        "Americans should ditch the War On Terror and focus on the Class War. It's our best chance for a halfway pleasant life."

                        Had to re-read that. After reading about "ditching the way on terror". Which sounded a lot like Surrendering I might add.

                        It registered in my brain as "Our best chance for a healthy peasent life". I speak truth, thats how it appeared.

                        Speaking more truth: Fuck that!

                          I must admit to only have read a small amount of Moore's stuff. In fact I want to see "Roger and Me" purely because the jacket notes make me think of a man raging against GM making a commercial decision against Flint, the very same type of decision that caused GM to go to Flint in the first place!

                          But isn't Moore's principle "rant" that whilst it is acceptable under US culture to rage against Marxist ideologies and big government, it is seems to not be acceptable to rage against big corporate? After all the US gained independance from the unrepresentative lobbying of unaccountable "barons". Now, accordng to Moore, there is a danger that the unacountable corporate barons are removing democracy from the people?

                            His kind of nonsense might go over well in Europe but the American people are allot more conservative then the Europeans. This guy peaches a "hate America" leftism that is more suited to the French. The vast majority of Americans are against big government and see Marxist for what it is, crap.

                            After all the US gained independance from the unrepresentative lobbying of unaccountable "barons". Now, accordng to Moore, there is a danger that the unacountable corporate barons are removing democracy from the people?
                            That's nonsense. American is a democracy, and will continue to be one. Rich people have all ways had a say in politics, but the pols still do what the people want in the end because if they don't, they will have to find a new job.

                              Isn't Moore's point that the choice the US citizen's are getting are distorted in favour of the big corporate? I.e. One gets to choose A or B, but as the big corporates are lobbying both A an B it isn't much of a choice?

                              As i said i have only read a small amount of his stuff, but he strikes me as wanting more, not less, democracy.
