Filmmaker Michael Moore went off on CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer during an interview Monday to promote his latest documentary 'Sicko'. Moore blasted the anchor and the network for not doing enough to stop the Iraq war and for doing a 'crap' report on his new film. Moore also mocked the pronunciation of chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Ah, another Rosie “ching chang chong” moment. Libs are all for diversity until the minorities wander off the plantation.

Does he think networks and anchors are elected officials?

“Libs are all for diversity until the minorities wander off the plantation.”

Yup.....very true. And, I speak from personal experience as a non-white conservative.

No thanks. I have no desire to subject myself to the tirades of this idiotic slob, especially when I know that anything outrageous he says is his way of ginning up publicity for his latest stupid crockumentary.

I agree with your point about lie-breals & I can’t stand Rosie. However, I don’t think that a bad imitation of a foreign language is very high on the the racism scale.

I listened to Moore's whole tedious tirade, but I didn't hear anything that I'd call "mocking" of a name.

I mean, Moore pronounced Gupta like "Goopta" -- but isn't that pretty close to the way it really should be pronounced?

Much as I detest Moore, I think somebody's overreacted here.

But my computer audio did hiccup a few times with the sound, so maybe I missed it.

Best thing is Lou Dobbs's comment at the end.

What a low-class, rude, one-sided, insecure whiner. I hope the left sees that this guy is jumping the shark, Sheehan style.

How can anyone defend that performance? He was angry past the point of any rationality.

Since when do “sponsors” influence coverage? I was an advertiser, and I can tell you the business is ruled by ratings, almost alone.

CNN’s healthcare coverage is about as left spun as one can imagine. Some of their pieces are drawn directly from obscure leftwing talking points, such as their coverage of Health Savings Accounts, for instance.

That was funny! But, not as funny as a multi-millionaire —who, by appearances, does not undertake any physical activity more excessive than lifting a cheeseburger to his mouth — asking that his health care be paid for by everyday working stiffs. Why should I pay for his health care when he obviously doesn’t care about his own health and can easily pay for his own bypass? What a fat ass.

Wolf or Dr. Gupta should take the opportunity to ask Mikey about one of his FReeper nicknames, “Lumpy Riefenstahl.”

I was flipping and saw the weirdo screaming mad at Wolf. It was rather odd to see him ranting against CNN. Moore kept saying read my blog I will have this up after this and you will hear the truth. Moore definately took off on Dr. Gupta which Wolf said later was in surgery today so couldn’t join us tonight.
Moore was screaching throughout until someone told him to calm down, which he did for alittle, probably because he wasn’t making any points about his movie.
Typical screaching leftie at his best.

One thing I give to Moore, whatever he has done has made money. The worst thing for him would be some serious financial loss. He is immune to criticism, in fact he benefits from controversy.

You need to go back to the video tape.

At the end of the clip Moore very deliberately and with animated facial expression mocks and exaggerates Gupta's name. He was clearly attempting to do a piece of Indian dialect shtick.

There was nothing subtle about this racist slur.

I think the yelping of the name at the end of the interview is what they are referring to.

This MSM created monster is now turning on them, if they dare to question.

Wolf has to grovel and eat dirt and thank Michael. It's a beautiful thing to see.

That should come as no surprise.

They've been practically rooting for the deaths of their own countrymen for 4 years!

When Mikey's plaque-riddled heart bursts, as it inevitably will, he'll be very lucky if he's anywhere near us in Rochester, NY, USA.

Strong Memorial is one of the top heart centers in the world.

People are missing the real gem buried in this video clip - first he starts out by saying that he doesn’t speak in soundbites, and then towards the end he emphasizes that he will only do ‘live’ interviews rather than taped ones, and he mercilessly rakes Blitzer over the coals because Moore claims he is afraid that his remarks will be edited and taken out of context to distort his meaning. What a total putz. After all, who in the world is the master of deceit, lies and fraud who has made his millions by intentionally taking other peoples’ words out of context to distort their meaning and thereby to propagate his lie-du-jour? Of course, it’s the despicable Michael Moore who has made a career out of pumping out exactly such knowingly-and-carefully-crafted distortions and lies. Like most leftist media whores, he can dish it out but he sure can’t take it...

Same here. I watched it all the way to the end. He didn't misprounounce the name. He emphasized it back to Blitzer because Blitzer kept using the name over and over and over.

Moore is an idiot. But he wasn't mocking Dr. Gupta.
