I didn't think it was possible for this jerk to get any more obnoxious than he already was. I see I was very very wrong.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Michael Moore confounds..."

Nuff Said

[quark]

Michael Moore = fat, lying, limousine-liberal puss bag!

[bvw]

This is not a parody?

[TN4Liberty]

I'm glad he is on their side.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Michael Moore"

There are only two types of People in this old world I really can't Stand...

Michael Moore is listed under both categories with multiple entries!

[backhoe]

I'm glad he is on their side....

Amen. I say, ignore the clown.

[Dog Gone]

I hope he continues to attract people into the Green Party. They aren't coming from our ranks. We're all f***ing rednecks.

[Steven W.]

Who knows what's going into your brains from the things?"

That explains it all - Michael Moore admits he's a moron who's deathly afraid of his own cell phone.

[wcbtinman]

I think I will see to it that he never gets any of my money. Join me and let's see if we can't turn him into a small business "redneck".

"Who is this company? How come this one company gets to decide, gets to own all this land? These are one of the biggest landowners in this country - no one individual should be able to own that much property.

Who IS this US Government? How come the US Government gets to decide, gets to own all this land? This is the single biggest landowner in the country - no government should be able to hold that much property.

Makes a lot more sense, don't you think?

In obvious need of sleep, Moore and his bleary-eyed posse ...

Got a hunch sleep-deprivation wasn't at the heart of this whole "bleary-eyed" thing.

[Saundra Duffy]

Exactly!

[The Irishman]

It should be interesting to some of the folks on this forum to see that people like Michael Moore align themselves with the big businesses against small business people.

And who are the pals of the CEOs and leaders of those big concerns, "moderate" pubbies and the "New Democrats".

Makes me think that Moore is not such a "radical" after all. He's mainstream.

Regards.

[Hawkeye's Girl]

Man, is this guy dumb. He's even contradicting himself at this point.

[My2Cents]

Moore, the famous filmmaker and political activist...

More like "Moore, the one-hit wonder filmmaker, and blowhard."

[Inkie]

Now that he's rich, it clears the way to recognize him for what he has always been: non compus mentus.

[antidemocommie]

Moore seemed to embrace capitalistic Darwinism. "If the small businesses suck they'll be driven out of business," he said. "If they got a good restaurant, people will go there and eat. You know in my town the small businesses that everyone wanted to protect? They were the people that supported all the right-wing groups. They were the Republicans in the town, they were in the Kiwanas, the Chamber of Commerce - people that kept the town all white. The small hardware salesman, the small clothing store salespersons, Jesse the Barber who signed his name three different times on three different petitions to recall me from the school board. F**k all these small businesses - f**k 'em all! Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. F**k 'em all. That's how I feel."

Are there any words strong enough to describe this person?
