© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Michael Moore (courtesy United Artists) Don't blame Hollywood for Sen. John Kerry's defeat in the presidential election last month, says filmmaker Michael Moore, who insists activist entertainers made the race closer than it would have been otherwise. Reacting to charges that his polarizing activism galvanized Republicans, Moore -- director of the provacative, anti-Bush film "Fahrenheit 9/11" -- contended Kerry lost the race simply because he was "not the best candidate." "For the last month, we've had to listen to a lot of conservative pundits talk about how Democrats need to run away from Hollywood," Moore told reporters before addressing...

Kerry Says He Knows Why He Lost The Election

Today’s DUmmie FUnnies is a SPECIAL EDITION featuring the pissed off ringleader of all DUmmies---Skinner himself. I hope you excuse the brevity of this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies but I think we need to devote this whole special edition analyzing Skinner and his threats to the DUmmie Funnies. You can see Skinner’s angry post in yesterday’s DUmmie FUnnies HERE. Obviously the poor fellow is upset that he and his fellow DUmmies are being turned into laughingstocks by the DUmmie FUnnies. Also note his extreme fear of a DUmmie FUnnies book. So is this REALLY Skinner of the DUmmies? Judging...

I hate George Bush and want to move abroad! The only problem is that I do not have the resources to do so since I am poor and the government won't pay for it! What should I do? Would you all be interested in taking up a collection to boot my ass out of the country?

Yusuf Islam, the pop star formerly known as Cat Stevens (news), says he has received "more apologies than you can count" from Americans embarrassed after their government deported him over potential terrorism links. In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday before he received a peace award from a group of Nobel Prize winners, Islam said he would be making more music soon but did not think September's episode would figure in the new songs. Islam, who changed his name after converting to Islam in the 1970s, was traveling on a commercial plane from London to Washington when it was diverted...

HOW THE VOTE MOVED: Kerry won the center and the left. Over to Noam: Not only did Kerry win by an 86-13 margin among self-described liberals, he also won by a 55-45 margin among self-described moderates. So how'd Bush pull it off? He won 84-15 among self-described conservatives, and, more importantly, he made sure conservatives comprised a much bigger chunk of the electorate than they did in 2000. (Conservatives comprised about 34 percent of the electorate yesterday, versus 29 percent in 2000 -- a huge shift, raw numbers-wise.) Anyone anticipating a conciliatory second Bush term should stop and consider how...

I can't wait to hear from him after he predicted a Kerry and Dasshole victory!

He's soooo excited this is the first state to have flipped since 2000, etc. etc. This is really funny. Orderly with butterfly net approaching...

"We have to go by our own rules....our own traditions....we would rather be last than be wrong" Dan Rather just uttered these words. Without irony....and while stuttering severely. I may take off work tomorrow!!!!1 LNGOP'r

Wolfie Blitzer looks like he is about to cry. During his interview with the Ohio Secretary of State, Wolfie Blitzer adamently continued to focus on speculation about up to 250,000 provisional votes and how that could constitute a challenge by Kerry over the projected results. One of the most revealing questions of the Ohio Secretary of State. (Not quoted but close in context) "How do Ohio and Florida compare in 2004, and do you want the same controversey over the election as did Florida's Katheryn Harris since you too are a Republican?" It is obvious CNN and Blitzer are about...

Just announced on Fox. Unfriggin'believable - flour from the same sack as Gore.

Still advantage, bush. We estimate he has 249. Yes, we are aware that some other outfits in other places have their own estimates and have bush closer to the 270 needed to win. They're entitled to that. Just want to remind you we said when the evening started, we wanted to be accuracy central. Not favoring one candidate over the other, but we have our own way of making these decisions, and having been embarrassed about the florida calls in 2000, we said to ourselves when the night started, we don't care if we're last as long as we're right....

<p>Buh Bye former great Freerepublic, home of wannabe conservativ idiots, GESTAPO-like Mods and NAZIs. This once great forum has been trashed over the past three years like never before and I’m GLAD that these fucking MOD’s banned me today. If we loose this Election, then FR will be a part in this disaster. No freedom of speech, no real conservatives anymore, it’s a catastophical failure like our President said correctly, hehe… Just like fucking Germany back in 1933, Brownshirts all over the place. I’m puking, little boys.</p>

I have made a discovery this evening related to the 04 May 1972 memo that deserves scrutiny, not previously discussed (as far as I've seen). Having been a professional office machine diagnostic specialist (ok, copier tech, for you dittoheads that will inevitably deluge my mailbox with hate mail) for the last 15 years, an expert in diagnosis, and being well experienced in the capabilities of copies vs. originals, I build my argument as follows: 1. Multiple generation photocopies 'will' result in distortion of the text, both in resolution, and in size, making an overlay impossible to match without significant 'fussing'....

· You will recall that the Diary's very own brand new conspiracy theory (which held that Kerry's tanking presidential campaign was a deliberate Democratic feint aimed at giving Hillary Clinton a clear run in 2008) was rather anticipated by those crazy rightwing nerds at freerepublic.com, who had already posted several threads to that effect before we could bestir ourselves to come up with a username and password. In fact, much of the internet-friendly hard right seems to believe that Hillary is working diligently for a Bush victory by supplying the Kerry campaign with forged documents. You have to get up...

Here's a link to the local TV station in Oregon that has the police video of Al getting pulled over back in August. Al's bad day! Enjoy, I did!

Did our Commander-in-Chief act like one during the (in)famous 7 minutes?

AFTER ZEL MILLER'S SPEECH AT THE CONVENTION, HE HAD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS. ONE OF THESE WAS WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS HOST OF MSNBC'S "HARDBALL". MR. MILLER HAD STATED IN HIS SPEECH THAT JOHN KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS IN THE "WAR ON TERROR". MR. MATTHEWS QUESTIONED MILLER'S USE OF THE TERM AND ASKED MR. MILLER IF HE TRULY BELIEVED MR. KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS. MR. MILLER INFORMED MR. MATTHEWS THAT HE WAS USING A METAPHOR. FURTHER QUESTIONING AND SOFT PROBING OF MR. MILLER'S SPEECH RESULTED IN AN UNBELIEVABLY ANGRY RANT BY MR. MILLER. MR. MILLER WENT TO THE POINT...

Bush says war on terror will be won Mark OliverTuesday August 31, 2004 The US president, George Bush, does believe America will win the war on terror after all despite his damaging remarks yesterday to the contrary. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said today that Mr Bush "will make it crystal clear ... that we will win the war on terrorism by continuing to take the fight to the enemy". This standpoint was in marked contrast to Mr Bush's comments on NBC television yesterday. He was asked whether America could win its "war on terror", and replied: "I don't think...

All the Nudes That's Fit to Print Radicals planning to cause mayhem at the GOP convention should accept this sad fact: Murdoch’s minions are waiting.The last time a major party held its nominating convention in New York City, I was among the tribe of protesters clamoring outside. I had hitchhiked from Oakland to Manhattan and, after adventures with a guy in Barstow who claimed he was jumping parole and barked, "I swear by my white skin!" after each beer, or the gentleman in southern Missouri who loaded the shotgun in his rifle rack and declared his intention to shoot the...
