The “Non-Judgmental” Michael Moore
Cross Action News ^ | 5-10-08 | Humberto Fontova

Posted on 05/10/2008 8:09:19 AM PDT by Victory111

Last week on the Larry King Show, Michael Moore took the high road. He simply could not bring himself to pronounce judgment on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s tirades. “I’m a white guy,” explained the rotund film-maker. “And I mean, you have to ask yourself, Larry, what’s it like to be black in America? ….And I do not believe, as a white guy, that I am in any position to judge a black man who has had to live through that.”

I wonder what it would be like to be a big fat ignorant slob like Moore in America?

Apparently he knows what it’s like to be a Cuban in the Cuban health care system, though.

Apparently, extremely prosperous.

I’ll let anyone of any race, creed, or color comment on David Duke and Robert Byrd any day of the week.

**what’s it like to be black in America?**

What’s it like to be black in Mexico or South America? In China or Japan? What’s it like to be black in Germany or Russia? Is it easier for blacks in India or Vietnam?

What’s it like to be black in Africa, where they have hundreds, thousands of ethnic/tribal divisions?

In the liberal world, only in America has anyone ever found racism (or slavery.)

Michael Moore makes a good nickel abroad for bashing America at home. The covers of virtually all of his foreign edition DVDs and books are “red white and blue”.

His chief export is “The Ugly American” and he sure is a fat rich bastard who treats his own staff poorly.

Moore himself denounces Republicans as “people who hate … people who get up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they’re going to screw today.”

Actually as a Republican, I get up at six in the morning trying to figure out how to not get screwed by liberals of my own race and other races.

It is Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farahkahn, and others who call me “the white devil”, “the killer of Christ” (you know that it was rich Europeans like garlic nose EYE-talians), and the result of an African science experiment gone wrong.

His only life experience is as a left-wing-lunatic. So how is he in any position to judge any non-left-wing-lunatic. Yet he has based his life on judging normal people.

I can't wait for the first expose about who is funding Hollywood. Here's one for you, do you know who is funding the new Oliver Stone movie about GW Bush that he plans to release while Bush is still in the White House? Can you say COMMUNIST CHINA?

To recap, China is funding a movie about a sitting president during an election year. And we sit around bemoaning Jeremiah Wright.

Nobody cares anymore and this country is on a death spiral.

What a great article! I hope every EVERYWHERE reads it. But this has to be my favorite line of all time:

Yet the Democrats’ pet walrus sneers at them from his Upper West Side pad as “wimps, cowards and crybabies.”

Surprised this is in the NYT.

Michael, I can tell you what it is like to be a black man in America even though I am white.

1) I can sit on my arse and wonder who my daddy is.
2) I can sit on my arse and buy/sell drugs for walking around money.
3) I can sit on my arse and stay out of school because schooling is “too whitey”.
4) I can sit on my arse and bitch about not getting a job even though the position requires the ability to READ AND WRITE.
5) I can sit on my arse and still take the job away from a qualified white because, “If you don’t hire me, I will sue your honkey white ass off!”
6) I can sit on my arse and brag that I have gotten 5 of my ho’s pregnant and never spent one cent on assistance.
7) I can sit on my arse and bitch because Bill Cosby has turned ‘white’.
8) I can sit on my arse and go on and on about how the honkey has held me down for 300+ years.
9) I can listen to the race baiters like the ones that claim millions of ‘my people’ were tossed overboard on the trip over from Africa.
10) I can sit on my arse and go on and on and on and on....

That would have been great if Larry would have then asked him what it was like to be a Cuban in the Cuban health care system. Moore would have had a hissy.

And as a black guy, the dishonorable has more basis to judge me than Moore does him but we all herd the tirades against the white Satan coming out of the Rev Wright's mouth.
Rev Wright has judged me and every other white person so we all have the right to judge him.
I know the liberals in this country think that equality is only when you give all the choices and freedom of speech to the minorities but I think equal means equal in all ways and in all things. The dishonorable Rev Wright will never be equal to me, my family or my friends. He is an avowed racist and we are not. The Rev Wright is obviously a bigot, and we are not. I have judged him on the content of his character exactly MLK demanded. He failed.

I do not agree with your Moore/pus analogy. Pus has a functional purpose to fight infection. Moore is totally worthless. . .in that regard, I would assume his cranial cavity is probably empty. Or perhaps filled with fecal matter, but then again, fecal matter, I hear, makes good fertilizer. . .perhaps,then, filled with vomit. ..yes, that would be it, a cranial cavity filled with vomit.

Good point. It was probably easier to be black in America in the 60’s before civil rights took effect than it is to be black in these countries now.

It was easier and safer to be black in America in the 60's, than to be black in the American "inner cities" today. Hell, it was easier and safer to be black in 1930's Alabama than to be black in today's "inner cities"

Btw, anything racial mentioned by a white person in America is considered racist and is verified as such by a simple that's a hell of a racist statement statement without rhyme or reason.

Michael Moore took the high road. He simply could not bring himself to pronounce judgment on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright... Yeah, that's mighty white of him. Moore doesn't pass judgment on any liberal or liberal idea.

Why should he?

Moore's one of them.

That's not taking the high road anymore than a conservative not putting down a man who owns 2,000 assault weapons is "the high road".

Our side backs gun owners. Moore's side backs people who hate this county. It's that easy.

"prosperous"

I'm sure like Oliver Stone, Danny Glover, etal, Moore has donated 99% of his ill-gotten, rotten, capitalist gains(ugh, ptooey) to the needy, starving poor of America who according to leftist sources constitute roughly 87% of the population. (snort)

“I’m a white guy,” explained the rotund film-maker. “And I mean, you have to ask yourself, Larry, what’s it like to be black in America? ….And I do not believe, as a white guy, that I am in any position to judge a black man who has had to live through that.”

They chose 'rotund' over 'spherical' or 'pleasantly plump'--interesting.

What a weak cop out on Moore's part! He could have just condemned--or simply disagreed with--Wright's statements without going into the Irreverend's biography or passing judgment on the man.

Perhaps I lack the proper understaaaaaaaanding. ;)

Wouldn’t it be interesting to begin to pray
specifically asking God for Michael Moore by
name? Not just that he would be redeemed, but
that he would also become a born again conservative.

God can do that!

God can take a murderer and enemy of the Church like Saul of Tarsus, and not only make him an Apostle of Jesus Christ, but also the most prolific writer in the New Testament and a model for Christian missionaries for nearly two-thousand years after his death.

I believe this has been called “the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.” Basically, treating black people like small children who cannot be held responsible for their actions, ever.
