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 Stor

[Uncle Hal]

What an idiot. Capitalism financed his films. How else would they have been made?

[right way right]

I hereby announce Michael Moore's candidacy for president of the Morons’R’us club of extreme headupassism!

May he very soon reap his reward, by expiring into the torment of the Eternal Moronathon !

[domenad]

Oh man. I mean, even Rush lost the weight. Aren’t liberals embarrassed to have something like this THING pushing their ideals?

[Tenacious 1]

In his case, I will not lose sleep if your right.

[Gaffer]

Was this when he was getting “in” or “out” of the limo that he always has when he goes somewhere?

[GOP Poet]

Good point. His gluttony (as someone like me who daily battles the seven deadly and a few more—LOL) will brings its deal nail soon enough. The question is will he live and change his ways or die to nothingness and he believes only in earthly wrath and indulgence. What a hateful creature and honestly he is physically disgusting.

Moore to Dems: Get on board or "we will work against you"

By Kenneth P. Vogel / Politico

Controversial liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Tuesday issued a warning to Democrats who have been cool to President Barack Obama’s call for meaningful health care reform: Get on board or prepare to lose your seat.

“To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want,” Moore told supporters of women’s groups and unions gathered at the headquarters of the government watchdog group Public Citizen. “That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election.”

FYI... the hypocrisy of Michael Moore

The real Michael Moore Working-class hero image is carefully scripted
November 05, 2005

Michael Moore's success as a filmmaker and "working-class hero" is part of a carefully crafted image that bears little connection with reality, finds author Peter Schweizer in his new book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy."

Don't be fooled by the scraggly beard, the baggy jeans, the plaid shirts and the baseball caps, explains Schweizer.

Don't be fooled by his claim to be from the working-class town of Flint, Mich., he writes.

Don't be fooled by his various claims to have made no more than $19,000 a year, $15,000 a year or $12,000 a year before his first hit, "Roger & Me," the author says.

In fact, Moore didn't even grow up in Flint, but rather nearby Davison. His father was not the working stiff struggling to make ends meet that he portrays, but a General Motors employee who worked from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. and played golf every afternoon at a private country club and who had four weeks of paid vacation and retired comfortably at the age of 53.

Before "Roger & Me" hit it big in 1989, Moore had already received an advance from a New York publisher for $50,000, another $50,000 from Mother Jones magazine upon termination as an editor and a $20,000 grant from Ralph Nader. After "Roger & Me," he became fabulously wealthy by nearly any standard.

When Moore flew to London to be interviewed by the BBC or to promote a film, he flew the Concorde and stayed at the Ritz. But, according to the book, he would also keep a room at a cheap hotel down the street where he would meet with journalists to maintain his image as a "man of humble circumstances."

His 10-acre, waterfront home today is on Michigan's Torch Lake, one of the three most beautiful lakes in the world, according to National Geographic. He was accused by authorities of despoiling a wetland – just like many of the greedy, robber-baron land-grabbers he criticizes – when he tried to expand his private beach……………………………………………”

MM reminds of a skit form Red Dwarf where Rimmer is ragging on Lister for “slobbing around”.

“So Listy. Slobbing in the morning, followed by slobbing in the afternoon, then a bit of a snooze before the main evening’s slob? God, you’re a disgrace to the species.”

MM is s slob. He dresses like a slob, he looks like a slob, he acts like a slob and he talks like a slob.

From Michael Moore's website...

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film.”

Obviously, having a brain has done nothing for you either. What an A-Hole !

[Larry R. Johnson]

Back in the hippy-dippy days we used to call this kind of slob a fat capitalist pig. Sounds like he doesn’t like the fat slab of bacon he has become thanks to capitalism. This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Maybe he should just slide away into oblivion and give all his fat greasy money to the poor folks whom he pretends to defend.
