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.

There is a hard core on the left that would welcome a communist dictatorship (which they call call progressive)in the US because they think they would be among the ruling elite.Moore’s suggestion of dictatorial tactics by Obama lifted a corner of the curtain on their true aims.

First, make sure and shut down FoxNews. Just to be safe, shut down all media outlets except MTV, BET and MSNBC. And definitely pull the plug on the internet.

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.

Liberals, like the commies through out history, are utterly incapable of self reflection or accepting or even understanding simple criticism.

“Michael Moore Sues for more money- who’s greedy now?”

Posted by NewsEditor on February 8, 2011

http://www.westernjournalism.com/michael-moore-sues-for-more-money-whos-greedy-now/

“At least multimillionaire Michael Moore didn’t have the chutzpah to sue Harvey and Bob Weinstein in a court in New York City where they’re based. Because I bet there’s no way a jury in the urban center that suffered through the attack on the World Trade Center twin towers would give Moore a penny. Today, Moore filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud arising out of his audit of his controversial war on terror documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore is seeking at least $2.7 million from the Weinstein Brothers in what he claims are “rerouted” and unpaid profits. Why is it I think Harvey has finally met his match in Michael, and vice versa? The Weinsteins have already paid Moore $19.8 million for his backend profit participation in the movie.

Further, the bros are bitching that they were blindsided by the lawsuit: the Weinsteins for the past six months offered to go to mediation on what their reps are calling a “standard accounting dispute” — isn’t that what studios and producers always claim? — but Moore kept rejecting that. Even more bizarrely, as recently as last week, the Weinsteins were chatting with Moore about doing another movie together because insiders tell me that Moore next wants to direct a fictional feature film. (Of course, some partisan circles found the Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary to be claptrap exploitation while others saw it as courageous exposure. But I digress.)

Now the Weinsteins will have their Hollywood pitbull litigator Bert Fields defend them against Moore. “He made $19.8 million in backend profit on a 9/11 movie. And now he wants to beat up the Weinsteins for another couple of million dollars,” an insider complains to me tonight. “He redefines the term greedy for someone in this business who claims to be a Mr. Poverty indie documentary filmmaker.”

Gee Michael, please tell me exactly what federal statute under Title 18 or any other US statute would be the basis for an arrest for someone who recommends a downgrade of the U.S. debt rating. I’m sure you can dig one up, right? If not, then we’re just arresting someone because he did something you don’t like? Didn’t that happen in Germany back in the 30s?

I think she is refering to her girl Casey Anthony, who despite being found not-guilty (a legal term) is a murderer of her child.

... the Oscar-winning film director ...

Proof positive that, like the Nobel Peace Prize, people are given awards for things other than their accomplishments.

If you hold a microphone next to Mr Moore's ear, do you hear the sound of a vacuum?

Thanks seanmerc.
On his Twitter feed Monday [the a-hole] 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.
The fat do-nothing no-talent fascist demagogue slob (euphemism) apparently doesn't worry about a massive libel suit against his overpaid useless ass by the very people he just accused of criminal acts -- entirely without mentioning Barney Frank, the real engineer of the mortgage trouble.

Many freepers were quite upset at the outcome of the trial down in Florida in which a mother was accused of murdering her daughter. They wanted the mother and the jury members punished.
