Michael Moore Calls U.S. 'Violent Nation' in Wake of Shooting
Breitbart ^ | July 20, 2012 | by Christian Toto

Posted on 07/21/2012 4:42:16 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

As President Barack Obama's key adviser once said, "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

So the Oscar-winning progressive behind "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko" turned to Facebook to spread his reaction. And, typically, Moore didn't waste the opportunity to allow a single tragedy to paint his homeland in ugly terms.

"Having spent much time in the Aurora/Denver/Littleton area over the years, I am too sad about this most recent tragedy to comment at the moment, other than to say this:

I fear anthropologists and historians will look back on us and simply say we were a violent nation, at home and abroad, but in due time human decency won out and the violence ceased, but not before many, many more died and the world had had its fill of us."

So what's he gonna do, make a "documentary" about it?

Hollywood is going to suffer because of the Colorado shooting because some people now will be afraid of going to the movies. Think maybe an "Entertainment Safety Administration" is in the works? The idea would be to get people used to the new "safety" restrictions, first at movie theatres and then at other venues that have anything to do with "entertainment".

Hey! I have an idea.

Instead of making it illegal to own guns, why don’t we just make it illegal to kill people?

That would have prevented it!

i do not remember reading anything about what Michael Moore said about the Ft Hood shootings..but here he comes telling us what o do about our guns..

The guy that murdered these people in Colorado is a insane moron and so is Nidal Malik Hasan..

Lets hear some of these morons get what they deserve..like the Pig Nidal Malik Hasan who has been sitting in a cell for the last three years he should have been put to death a long time ago..he is one that Obama pardons before he goes back to hell to be with his Muslim brothers..

The shooter almost certainly has leftist sympathies, if not a history of outright leftwing activism. The evidence is ample:

1) Mainstream media has not reported his political views yet.

2) The left blogosphere has avoided the issue also.

3) He was accepted into a PhD program, which often indicates that the candidate has been vetted by leftist faculty and found acceptable.

4) An AP piece I just read called him “complex,” a reliable euphemism for scrambling journalists looking to mitigate the damage when a leftwinger does something indefensible.

No, humans are a violent species. That's why we are at the top of the food chain. Pacifist species are what is known as "food."

DemonRats are evil, violent people...especially when they become career politicians

...and especially when they are Hollywooders producing all the evil and violence for the theaters.

...and especially when they are fat and steal elections...

Citizen calls Michael Moore 'Fat Man' in Wake of Buffet Visit.

"History will someday look back and, after a close examination of the facts, reflect that Michael Moore was a fat man," pronounced Freeper AD from Springbay in the wake of yet another senseless buffet visit by filmmaker Michael Moore.

Yo, mikey, there are more obese people in the US than there are gun wielding mass murders.

So, how about a government program to run a background check to see if your food purchases are appropriate for your weight.

BTW, what does the US Constitution say about regulating food intake as compared to regulating gun ownership?

Michael Moore is a traitor and an obese embarrassment to America.

I fear anthropologists and historians will look back on photographs of Michael Moore and conclude that we must have been an extremely fat and obnoxious race of people.

GREAT idea!

(there ARE cannibals in Somalia, right?


(not sure if they would be enthused about a sh*t sandwich though...)

31,000 people die in this country each year from gunshots while 1.2 million babies are sucked from their mother’s wombs; proving that Planned Parenthood is 38 times more dangerous than the National Rifle Association.

Yeah, from 'Bowling for Columbine' to 'Badminton for Aurora', or some other failed liberal feces filled cinematographic garbage.

Hasn’t ‘The Blob’ ever heard of Rahm Emanmuel’s Chicago?
They have the equivalent of one Aurora massacre every week.
