Michael Moore Writes to the President (Turd in the Punchbowl Alert)

[gridlock]

...gas now costs two dollars a gallon -- the list goes on and on.

Pardon me, but has anybody out there seen two-dollar-a-gallon gasoline? And I don't mean Full-Serve Premium at the most expensive place you can find. Has anybody seen Regular Unleaded Self-Serve at over $2.00?

Not that a 30% increase in the cost of gasoline matters much...

[Future Snake Eater]

I spent my Spring Break in the great white north of Pennsylvania, and the only gas I saw that was over $2/gal was diesel. The high-speed premium stuff was close, but not quite that much.

The high-speed premium stuff was close, but not quite that much.

And yet it is part of the Liberal Anti-War mantra that gasoline costs over $2.00 a gallon. Meanwhile they drive past signs all day that say gasoline costs $1.63⁹, and never make the connection. They buy 15 gallons of gas for the Honda, and it costs them $24.50, and they still will insist that gas costs $2.00 a gallon, and that it's all George W. Bush's fault.

The Pope has said this war is wrong, that it is a SIN. The Pope! But even worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out against you!

I'm still trying to figure this one out. Does he mean that we should give more credence to what the Chicks say than to what the Pope says?

[Walnut]

Both have about the same credibility as each other.
go figure

This was properly fisked last night at Transterrestrial Musings.

...we have that whole MTBE/Ethanol thing going on

And you don't even want to know how much you are paying in California state taxes. Hey, but Gray Davis really, really needs the money!

I found this on democraticunderground.com, written and posted by a supporting member with 2700+ posts:

I think it is very sad that Michael Moore has become the spokesperson for the Left. His best-selling book is juvenile, amateurish and full of inaccuracies. Hell, even THE NATION trashed his book as a waste of paper. His work may be funny, but that's about it.

Al Franken is also funny, but he also happens to be very well educated--something that Moore is obviously not. (Even by his own admission.) We need Al Franken to be our best-selling political satire author, not this dupe Moore.

I don't discredit him for being a Green, or for backing Nader, though I wish he hadn't. I discredit him because most of his arguments are so superfulluous. The chapters in his book "Kill Whitey" and that chapter about how women should rule the world show his ignorance about a matter so simple as civil rights. He suggests that women are more capable to govern because they would NEVER start a WAR... how could women do something like THAT? Has he met Dianne Feinstein.

...If Moore has become the spokesperson for the left it is a bad day for all of us.

I'm hoping that his new documentary "Bowling for Columbine", which I have not yet seen, might redeem him somewhat. The previews look very good.

But if any of you have seen Moore on Crossfire or any other news show it is obvious that his lack of education and his poor grasp of domestic and international policy and economics do nothing more than help the cause of the right-wing.

...My message to Moore: SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE F UP! YOU ARE HURTING YOUR CAUSE MORE THAN YOU ARE HELPING IT!

Why are we giving that lunatic the web space and bandwidth? There are no shortage of fools in the world, but since when do we want to respond to every ridiculous statement they make. It is beneath the integrity and dignity of Free Republic to post the comments of drug laddened, obese and sociopathic fools.

Never argue with a fool, someone may think you know what they are talking about.

I never got past "Dear Governor Bush. I assume the rest of the letter is as stupid and disrespectful as that. I'm guessing no one, today anyway, gets away with that kind of "free speech" in Iraq. I wonder if that turd is ever grateful for that?

"Dear Miss Moore"

...If the shoe fits...-and in this case, it sure does! What a weasel!

Michael Moore is the long brown stain in the week-old dirty underwear that is all that remains of the democratic party.

The visual image of that alone deserves a barf alert!

[Brian Allen]

Every morning upon awakening United States of America's President and Armed Forces Commander In Chief, George Walker Bush, picks up the 'phone and calls Michael Moore and/or Noam Chomsky -- and/or one or another of the other members of the self-appointed lunatic-fringe's anti-American hatred and rage brigades -- to find out what to think today.

Not.

Well said, Bri! But y'know, I am kind of comforted that a mediocrity like Moore is centre-stage, in opposition to the President. If he's the best the Left has got I don't think we need to lose too much sleep. Great to hear from you, my friend.
