Michael Moore Calls Capitalism Evil
Newsmax - Left Coast Report ^ | 9-8-09 | James Hirsen

Posted on 09/08/2009 8:36:12 AM PDT by holy joe

Michael Moore solidified his position as one of the biggest phonies of our times while at a recent Venice Film Festival outing.

He debuted his latest sham documentary called “Capitalism: A Love Story.”

Thanks to the free enterprise system, Moore has become super wealthy himself, which makes the two-hour flick a case study in hypocrisy.

“Capitalism is an evil,” Moore proclaims, “and you cannot regulate evil.”

According to Moore, regulating capitalism doesn't work, so his prescription is, “You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.”

Guess it all depends on what the meaning of “democracy” is.

Fidel, Hugo, Van, Nancy and Harry might have a similar definition. Someday someone might ask the president what his is.

In any event, the flimflam filmmaker even stoops so low as to bring in some Liberation Theology clergy to endorse the idea that capitalism is actually anti-Christian.

Of course, reporters in attendance went gaga over the movie, applauding wildly at the press screening.

This guy has sesriously jumped the shark. And at almost 400 pounds, I feel a lot of pity for that poor shark.

LOL, is he poor? Maybe a country that would take away most of his earnings would be better for him, like England.

The whole movie business is based on capitalism. Fat boy is going on about Wall Street but it is Dem crony short hedge funds that are NOT regulated by anybody, including the SEC, that are the problem. The Senate still has not passed anything to stop naked shorting.

Every advanced country in the World has a stock exchange. But only Wall Street is considered “evil”. This is a throwback to Soviet propaganda, the constant inveighing against “Wall Street” as the center of a capitalist conspiracy.

Moore is a deity to the political Left. He began his career as a phony “little guy”. Now he’s revealed himself as a full-blown radical socialist.

What a joke. Fahrenheit 911 made close to $100 million. What did he do with all of that revenue? That’s about as hilarious as idiotic bands like Rage Against the Machine making millions off of their CD sales and wearing trendy “Che” t-shirts.

I've spent an additional 13 years of my life, AFTER college, training to do what I do. What I make is pocket change compared to the crowd Michael Moore hangs with. Yet he would have no problem pointing a finger at whatever success I may have as an ‘evil’ of capitalism. What a hypocritical phony. I'm not complaining about what I make, and I'm very blessed to do what I do, but I do take great umbrage with a jerk like Moore deprecating an economic system that has done more to help people than any other in history. Why doesn't he move to Cuba? Why doesn’t he move to China? Why doesn't he just move?

You know what’s sad? The people who watch his “films” will not know that. They’ll walk out of that movie believing that it is necessary to replace capitalism with democracy. And what’s scary is that they’ll try to implement it!

When he gives away all his material wealth to the poor and moves to Cuba then he will live what he believes. Otherwise he’s just a big fat liberal liar or retarded——probably both! Only in America could he make his dreck documentaries and be so ‘successful’ as his other American hating liberals moan about this nation and all it’s evils while they thrive in it! Sickening madness of liberals!

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the irony of this is in a coma. Here's a guy who became a millionaire preaching about the evils of capitalism. It's like Al Gore living in a mansion that uses more energy than a small town telling farmers they need to cut down on their power consumption.

It's always been about money. How many people in this country would happily criticize the foundation of this country to become super rich?

I would be tempted myself.

One meets some of the craziest people in Hollywood. From multi-millionaire actors who believe they are oppressed “little guys” to producers who talk like hippies and act like mafia dons to movie makers like Moore who rake in the millions while lambasting the society that made it possible. All the while being applauded by crowds of actors who also talk like commies while raking in capitalists profits. It’s a pretty amazing freak show.

Like Laura said, they should shut up and sing. Frighteningly, most actors consider Adam Barwin to be an intellectual and, sadly, by Hollywood standards he IS an intellectual.

Guess it all depends on what the meaning of “democracy” is.

Democracy is the majority/mob taking a vote and saying "we agree that you should give us your stuff".

Funny how the very act of capitalism puts food into that fat slob’s mouth, clothes (such as they are) on his back, and a roof over his head.

Besides being a chronic professional whiner, what has Michael Moore done in his life to improve his community???

The Senate still has not passed anything to stop naked shorting.’

There isn’t a single word in any “health care insurance bill” I have seen that addresses any tort reform, either.

Keep income to the hospitals and drug companies at an artificial low, and keep the lawyers suing them for outrageous sums, and there will no no kind of health care at all—no matter who thinks they might administer it.

Tell a doctor that he will make the same money as a janitor or a road construction sinage person, and that doctor will just plain quit.
I won’t work for nothing in my chosen field, and I don’t expect anything different of others.

NObama and his Marxist, socialist, Communist buddies have NEVER had a real job- never run a business- never had to follow fed and state regulations- never had to deal with real competition and they are trying to set the rules.

NObama didn’t have any ‘competition’ in his politician life before Nov 2008, because he got all his opponents removed from the ballots.

There is no better defense of the inherent morality and virtue of capitalism and the greed and selfishness that underlie socialism than George Gilder’s “Wealth and Poverty”

here is an excerpt-

“CAPITALISM begins with giving. Not from greed, avarice, or even self-love can one expect the rewards of commerce, but from a spirit closely akin to altruism, a regard for the needs of others, a benevolent, out­going, and courageous temper of mind. Such a universal trait as self-interest—altogether as prevalent in any socialist backwater or deadening bureaucracy as in the realms of great enterprise—will reveal virtually nothing of the rare sources of riches in human society. Not taking and consuming, but giving, risking, and creating are the characteristic roles of the capitalist, the key producer of the wealth of nations, from the least developed to the most advanced.”
