Michael Moore Filled With 'Despair' Over ObamaCare, a 'Victory for Capitalism'
newsbusters.org ^ | March 26, 2010 | Tim Graham

Posted on 03/27/2010 6:33:29 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Appearing on the radical-left public radio network Pacifica on Tuesday to promote his DVD of Capitalism: A Love Story, filmmaker Michael Moore called the passage of ObamaCare a victory...for capitalism:

Well, I mean, to me, it all comes back to this issue of an economic system that is truly evil. And the healthcare bill that was passed ultimately will be seen as a victory for capitalism, because it protected the capitalist model of providing healthcare for people. In other words, we’re not to help people unless there’s money to be made from it. That is so patently disgusting and immoral, but that’s the system. That’s where we live.

Moore wanted the leftists to get right back to pushing a "single payer" option that outlaws insurance companies:

There’s nothing to be proud of with this bill being passed, other than maybe a temporary satisfaction of watching Republicans -- you know, watching their spray-on tan fall off out of utter -- through utter anger.

Moore doesn't feel that Obama is authentically leftist. He's a sellout:

I don’t think he really cared about a public option. I don’t think he really believes in true universal healthcare that’s managed by we the people. He was the number one recipient of health industry money in the Senate and when he was running for president, so I’m not surprised that he had very little interest in doing any of that.

To me he rather looks allot more like he’s full of male cow fecal matter.

But that’s just me?

An open endorsement of slavery.

When people aren't allowed to make money off their labor, there is no other term for it.

The Virtue of Selfishness.

Yep. One word. Two meanings -- one being a virtue, the other a vice. I don't believe the Chinese have that problem. I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that they have two distinctly different words for the two distinctly different meanings (can anyone corroborate that, please?). Thus they can't be made to feel guilty, or at least ashamed, of making a profit by satisfying other peoples' needs, as so many westerners can.

Excellent website! Thanks for sharing the link.

I wish Atlas Shrugged was required reading in our schools. While many may not agree with Ayn Rand’s somewhat anti-religion stance....her conclusions on communism and the devastation it always brings is life changing for those that have read her works.

is this the same Michael Moore who ripped into Dick Cheney for being an oil man, and then it was discovered his investments included Halliburton??

Let me get this straight. He goes on a publically funded radio station to SELL his COMMERCIAL dvd about capitalism and is upset that capitalism will still exist.

Now that you asked, YES!

Is this a great country or what?

He probably joins MO damning the obesity problem in this country.

In fairness at least that is a subject he definitely knows something about, being a fat a$$ himself.

Michael Moore is in despair? How effimate. Maybe I should invest in Ben and Jerry’s and Twinkies stock.

What a flippin’ idiot. How can anyone who knows anything about the contents of the bill believe it is anything but a communist redistribution of wealth and meant to dismantle insurance companies. Again proving by Moore’s confusion that liberalism is just a mental disorder.

Dispair?

Oh...is THAT what he's filled with? I thought it was twinkies, sodas, and liberal excrement.

Is this hypocritical mutant making money off of his movies? He should give them away for free and fore-go the benefits of capitalism.

“to me, it all comes back to this issue of an economic system that is truly evil.”

Thanks for the ping, FreeKeys.

A man of much greater intellect than Michael (propagandist) Moron once stated...

“It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.”

(hope and CHANGE anyone?)

or, how about this...

“Everything about socialism is sham and affectation.”

Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850 quotes from “The Law” & “Economic Harmonies”
