Michael Moore to Obama: ‘Show some guts,’ arrest S&P head
The Washington Times ^ | 8 Aug 11 | Victor Morton

Posted on 08/08/2011 2:14:11 PM PDT by seanmerc

Liberal firebrand Michael Moore called on President Obama to respond to the U.S. credit downgrade by arresting the leaders of the credit-ratings agencies.

On his Twitter feed Monday, the Oscar-winning film director also blamed the 2008 economic collapse on Standard & Poor’s — apparently because it and other credit-ratings agencies did not downgrade mortgage-based bonds, which encouraged the housing bubble and let it spread throughout the economy.

“Pres Obama, show some guts & arrest the CEO of Standard & Poors. These criminals brought down the economy in 2008& now they will do it again,” Mr. Moore wrote.

Keep this talk up Fatso. You and Gore spouting off about the Tea Party losing the right to be heard are the best advertisements for why you are a dangerous party of Commie Pinkos.

This is hilarious, in a pathetic sort of way, yet it’s very good also. When the loudest moonbats are calling for drastic action and the Malignant Narcissistic man-child does his usual hide-out-on-the-golf course routine, his popularity will dive even further. The worse it gets the more shrill will be the leftist demands for ‘strong’ action. The fraudster who voted ‘present’ almost two hundred times is incapable of giving it to them. Their heads will explode in due course.

What a shame Moore was born outside the age of Stalin. He could have learned so much, visiting the USSR to watch his idol at work.

Michael Moore sez............."let's play Shoot the Messenger"!!

If Moore thinks this is all an ideological game, or that S&P have deliberately put a turd in Obama's punch bowl just to cause trouble, he's an even bigger idiot than he appears. We've gone way, way past ideology. From here on out this is simply about math. It's about when we arrive at the point at which our ever diminishing tax receipts are no longer able to cover the payments on our ever-spiraling debt and we default.

Moore better take a Prozac because this is not the end, it's just the beginning. S&P have made it clear that there are more downgrades coming unless we get to grips with this monster.

Michael Moore and other liberals — when they don’t agree with you, arrest them, confiscate their property and throw them in the gulag (or kill them).

Not much different than some "conservatives" who disagree with the outcome of a jury trial and want the defendant dead.

Mikhail, you big, fat, ignorant sack of beans, it was Wall Street fat cats like Goldman Sachs who brought the economy down in 2008 and that led directly to Urkel's election and then those same evil fat cats ended up in his administration.

So, if Idiot Stick does arrest the S&P Big Wigs, look for them to end up in his administration.

What a moron.

“And charge him with what exactly?”

Why Treason against the Fascist State, of course, silly...
NONE MUST QUESTION the “ONE!”, or the liberal agenda, whatever the hell that means, anymore.

Guys like Michael Moore can call themselves ‘progressives’ but they’re really totalitarians. This is a perfect example of how these communists think. Although the corpulent Mr. Moore has a valid point regarding S&Ps high rating of the mortgage-based bond markets, that is a separate issue, and he knows it. Urging the president to have some umpires of the economy (S&P) arrested and jailed because the presidents spending is making the U.S. economy less stable is indicative of the brutal totalitarian government people such as Michael Moore long for - right up until it happens and they are cast aside (jailed, property confiscated) because they are no longer ‘useful idiots’.

S+P better be looking over its shoulder or it's going to find itself being "nationalized".

He can’t be that healthy.

Heaven forbid he’ll need a heart transplant and have to get on 0bammiecare’s ‘obesity’ waiting list because he’ll need to lose weight first.

But then again, he’s a privileged socialist 0 suck-up so he would get to
go to the head of the ‘waived’ line.

Typical liberal response: if you don’t like the message, attack the messenger.

Liberal firebrand Michael Moore called on President Obama to respond to the U.S. credit downgrade by arresting the leaders of the credit-ratings agencies.

So, Obama followed the advice of the genius.

The following day's headline:

"DOW down 6,000. Yes, you read that right, six thousand!"

For those of you unfamiliar with politics or history, this advice is from the “dictatorship manual of operations.” Just so no one is left wondering about MM’s political philosophy.

Mr. “Jabba The Hut” Moore should stick to eating 12 or 15 sandwich’s and STFU.

What a waste of good oxygen.................
