Documentary film director Michael Moore, who has become a millionaire thanks to the profits from his movies, told CNSNews.com that “capitalism did nothing” for him.

CNSNews.com spoke with Moore on the red carpet at the Uptown Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night before the premiere of his upcoming documentary, “Capitalism: A Love Story."

CNSNews.com asked: “Critics may say, when they see this movie, Michael Moore has amassed a fortune of over $50 million, some have said and –”

Moore said: “Really? Are you kidding me? Seriously? Wow. Where did it go?”

Looks like a lot went to waist.

...he had all sorts of stock and investments

From the picture, I’d say it’s obvious where a lot of it went.

Mike Moron can feel the wrath of capitalism when nobody goes to see his flop movie.

There is little to no demand for his style of “moooove”

...he had all sorts of stock and investments

Whew!

At least it wasn't CAPITALISM! *shudder*

[classified]

Yep! I'd say he is on borrowed time with that physique.

what a liar

mmmmmm donuts

I hear he likes lots of maple syrup, ketchup and sometimes extra sausage gravy on his evil green paper.

Here’s an idiot who owes his wealth and fame (and probably large size) to capitalism and the free-market system. You can’t get any more hypocrtical than Moore.

YOU LIE!

I can barely take it anymore. What a stinking hypocrite. I spend a lot of time on the lake he lives on here in northern Michigan.. trust me, he is not suffering and capitalism has been more than good to him. Don't let the scruffy, homeless look fool you. He lives mighty high on the hog. Multimillion dollar “cottage” on Torch Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Google it and see how he suffers.

Neither did his potty training sessions...

[a fool in paradise]

Why doesn’t he go to Iraq and make a movie about their leader and the atrocities committed there. Then he will learn that Democracy did everything for him, and without Democracy there is no capitalsm ..

[Scythian]

Ooops - I mean Iran

[a fool in paradise]

Just as an association with Adolph Hitler did nothing to advance Leni Riefenstahl’s career. < /sarc >

‘Capitalism Did Nothing For Me’.....

Oh sure, you fat f@#$!.....It gave you the opportunity to look like a whale!

[driftless2]

"no demand"

Actually his documentaries have made him wealthy. Lots of people go to his movies. Many of these same people are also very well off. I think they're called liberals. And none of them can see the hypocrisy in trashing a system that has made them wealthy either.

[a fool in paradise]

Did this traitor ever do a mea culpa and beg forgiveness for pledging his support for the enemy in a time of war? He insisted that “they WILL win” and that America deserved to see our boys bloodied and returning home with our collective tail between our legs, begging for forgiveness on the world stage.

We won.
