Heavy Security Protects Michael Moore at Convention

Heavy Security Protects Michael Moore at Convention

Michael Moore is so threatened by those warlike Republicans that he is hanging out at the GOP convention with a bevy of security guards.

Editor & Publisher reported that "the biggest commotion at the Republican National Convention Monday night occurred just before 10 pm with the entrance of anti-Bush filmmaker Michael Moore, who was repeatedly halted by security attempting to reach his reserved press seat in section #340 near the side of the stage. Moore is writing a daily column this week for USA Today."

Moore's timing could not have been better.

Soon after arriving, Sen. John McCain mentioned Moore in his speech as the "disingenuous filmmaker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace."

After McCain's remarks, the audience booed – then began chanting, "Four more years!"

E&P reported that when Moore left soon after, he was "accompanied by heavy security. He told E&P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown." [No word yet if Moore has agreed to be the organization's poster child.]

Well, from the article I can't tell if the guards were his or ours.

But what a party pooper.

Funny that Planned Parenthood (http://www.ppnyc.org/new/events.html) doesn't have any such meeting, or any meeting at all for tonight, listed on their website. And since when does any group start a meeting after 10:30 p.m., anyway, which would be when McCain's speech was over.

I wondered if he was just trying to get a jab in with the P.P. remark.

(I think jab's the right word.?)

I think he was a coward who wanted out of there after McCain slammed him, and figured he'd make a little jab/excuse like that.

He's going to pose nude for wallet-sized photos, which will be given to teenage girls. Whenever they feel like they're about to give in to some high-school hallway stud, they just reach for their pocketbook and look at Moore's pic. That'll kill a case of the hornies better than a bucket of icewater.

They've even come up with a catch phrase for this project. "When you feel like being a whore, look at naked Michael Moore."

His biggest fear is that someone with a microphone might get close enough to him to ask him a question. He needs 50 security guards surrounding him to keep away independent reporters. Plus it actually takes about 50 security guards just to surround him.

It says everything about Moore with his (so-called) meeting with Planned Parenthood.

P.P. is the largest killer of babies in the country.

I emailed them again. Those responsible for sending Michael the Moore to the RNC should be publicly thrashed for their impudence!

Nice to know Mr. Moore's career is "through" by his OWN hypocritical blowhard standards.

Michael Moron needs no extra security. He has enough stink and fat to keep all but the flys and maggots off of him.

I wonder what's on the buffet table at a Planned Parenthood event in NY at midnight?

Maybe I don't want to know.
