Michael Moore: Right-Wingers Stealing My Oscar
www. NewsMax.com ^ | 24 December 2004 | Aussie Dasher

Posted on 12/23/2004 2:38:36 PM PST by Aussie Dasher

Democratic Party filmmaker Michael Moore is warning that the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is trying to deny him an Oscar for his celebrated schlockumentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," complaining that "top Republicans" are trying to intimidate the Academy Awards with threats of a Hollywood boycott.

"A group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety)," Moore noted last week in a message posted to his Web site.

"The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid of Kerry, there was still one more nuisance running around loose they had to deal with – me!" Moore said that this evil GOP cabal has "issued a not-so-subtle threat to the Academy Awards voters that, in essence, said don't even THINK about nominating 'Fahrenheit 9/11' for Best Picture. And Bill O'Reilly recently bellowed that if the Oscars recognize my work this year, Middle America will boycott Hollywood."

Of course, some may recall that Moore promised to withdraw his film from Oscar contention when he thought he had a chance to air "Fahrenheit" on the pay-per-view cable net iNDEMAND before the election.

"I told my crew who worked on the film, let's let someone else have that Oscar," he told the BBC in September. "I don't want to take away from the other nominees and the attention that they richly deserve."

What Moore meant, it turns out, is that he was yanking "Fahrenheit" out of contention for the Best Documentary honors, which didn't preclude him from chasing the Oscar for Best Film.

And if Moore doesn't win his Oscar, it won't be because his rancid little flick was chock full of inaccuracies and propaganda, but because the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy strong-armed Hollywood into picking a less deserving production.

I love the vast right wing conspiracy. Not only have we rigged the Diebold voting machines so that the democrats will never win another election, but we have figured out a way to siphon Moore's money from his accounts to fund conservative projects and there is nothing he can do about it! And you know what else? We made him fat! And we're going to make him even fatter!

Hell, I hope the stupid movie is nominated by Holly Wood and he wins an Oscar. I hope it is forged in the minds of everyone when they think of Holly Wood they think of Micheal Moore and the Democrat party. When people think of Holly Wood they will think stupid and when the think of Democrats they think of fat, stupid, Michael Moore.

Such irony, considering how that plagiarist stole all its "ideas" from the adolescents at the DUngheap and indymedias.

"We made him fat! And we're going to make him even fatter!"

We're also going to photograph him in a motel room, naked and passed out, lying next to a case of Thunderbird and forty-three boxes of Twinkies.

The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy at work again.

Has that fat pig taken a shower since the last time he opened his mouth. Also, he ought to shave that disgusting beard too. His face looks like a woman's crotch. Sorry ladies. Hope I don't get my wrist slapped for that remark, but I couldn't resist. It's just that I really detest that excuse for an American.

I'm pretty sure it's more like the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy that's trying to give it to him fraudulently denying much worthier nominees.

The entire Motion Picture Academy is for the most part Left Wing and if they won't nominate him and give him an Oscar, well I just don't know what to say.
Hollywood and the Academy are the least responsive to any pressure by the Right and will do as they please.
These people are Moore's peers and fellow Leftie's and if they will not honor him then it truly is Bizzaro world out there. Bottom line, It Ain't the Right Wing Conspiracy at Work!

I was thinking more along the lines of an Oscar-caliber cannon.

if he had a brain, he'd possibly qualify for a leni riefenstahl.

she was hitler's documentary maker.

obviously a better filmmaker than mmmmoore, but he's on the side of the left.

With all the admissions of fudging the facts in this movie, I'm surprised that people still have the audacity to call it a documentary.

Shouldn’t that be -
… lying next to an empty case of Thunderbird and forty-three empty boxes of Twinkies, wallowing in a pile of cream filling.

By the way, I DO NOT want to see that picture!

"...for being fat and not dressing badly"
Not only is he a fat slob that DOES dress badly, but an ignorant fat slob that dresses badly.

There is nothing in Moore's movie that deals in FACT!

Time for a ZOT and a Viking Kitty.

Buh bye. You unpatriotic POS.
