That might prove difficult. I bet his lard ass would absorb most bullets fired at him.

LOL... oh dear I was about to post something not so nice. I see someone else beat me to it!

"I currently have two cameramen/reporters doing work for me in Iraq for my movie (unbeknownst to the Army)."

1-800-CALL-SPY is the appropriate way to report SAEDA.

Moore actually ripped off Ben Hamper's experiences in 'Rivethead.' The original voice from Flint, MI that Moore cultivated as a testimony from the trenches and took on as his entry film. Only a genuine shop-rat could concoct the scenes that animate the film. Moore has only viewed life from an 'all-you-can-eat' buffet at his local scarf'n'barf. Read the book - it is wa-a-a-ay better than Moore's movie.

Rivethead rocks. Moore thought he was Hamper's "mentor" because he published him in the birdcage liner he used to edit. Hamper mocks the clinton out of Moore when he describes his visit to the auto plant where Ben worked, pulling up in his Toyota and hanging around the equipment for half an hour or so without touching anything oily or icky. The mockery may have been unintentional but I doubt it.

He's put on a little weight too.

"....He just crossed the line from freedom of speech to open treason...."

Something about this doesn't strike me as right either. I wonder if this clown can expect a visit from the Feds? This is just NOT RIGHT in a time of war and our troops in 'harm's way'.

[WorkingClassFilth]

True, true, true. I was a shop-rat myself long, long ago.

[Army Air Corps]

I see that he is going for the Buddha look.

[battousai]

They are talking to soldiers and gathering the true sentiment about what is really going on.

What he means to say is that with creative editing and outright fudging, ala Bowling for Columbine, he will twist the true sentiment expressed by the soldiers to fit his own preconceived talking points.

"I currently have two cameramen/reporters doing work for me in Iraq for my movie (unbeknownst to the Army)."

This makes me sick. Mr. Moore is putting people in harm's way so that he can capitalize on his next movie. If he wants to know what is really happening, he should go to Iraq himself and see it firsthand. How does he know his people are even reporting the truth? This is not only exploitation of workers for personal profit, it is blatantly dishonest.

[yooper]

"...they're coming from America TO America, a place that is ours, a new American territory called Iraq."

Works for me. I'd call Moore spineless, but he has to have an industrial strength spine in order to support his weight and his bullshit.......

Is that a Sadam stain on Moore's blue suite lapel? (think Bill & Monica)

***They never go thru customs, ****

Each time we flew back from Asia in 1967-1969 we were met by customs and our Kc-135 was searched.

[E Rocc]

True, true, true. I was a shop-rat myself long, long ago.

The other funny thing is that Hamper's view of his relationship with GM sounds way more like Bob Seger singing "I used her, she used me, neither one cared. We were getting our share." than it does Moore's portrayal of the Noble Proletariat exploited by Evil Management.

One of these cameramen/reporters COULD have been Nick Berg! Since Salon.com now say that Michael Moore has a 20 minute INTERVIEW with Nick Berg!!!

Please keep this thread bumped, as it is MM Web age.

Nick Berg COULD be Moore's Cameraman/reporter...read SPY!
