Teehee. Because it’s wiser than believing one who won’t admit it? Speaking of which, have you heard Paul Harvey recant the lie about Lay sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom while Clinton, not Bush I, was President? Or have you ever admitted swallowing and passing on that lie?
What you write here is here until the next server crash. Not only do we remember, better than you apparently, we can easily document what you say.
To use one of your favorite sayings, “Ball’s in your court.”
Liar.
Michael Moore has a book signing event on Monday to a Borders I bike to. Should I ask him to sign this thread?
“Reading the response from the unquestioningly loyal MM suppoerters on his message board only served to increase my already vast contempt for the hypocrisy and ignorance of the so-called progressives.”
That’s okay. I feel the same way about conservatives. :b
I guess you expect “progressives” to be perfect 900,000% of the time and if they EVER for a SECOND falter, then they’re just ignorant and hypocritical.
But, then again even if they WERE perfect, you’d STILL find some way to hold them in contempt, eh?
Everyone says the SAME things about ALL who oppose them. How’s that for a generalization!?
Challenge him. Dare him. I’d love to see some of our smarter dopers have at him.
please note that I am not one of said smarter dopers…
TEXT OF MICHAEL MOORE’S CHAT WITH THE SDMB
SDMB MODERATOR: Hello, Dopers, very special treat tonight. We have Michael Moore, the maker of the famed, landmark documentary “Roger and Me,” host of “TV Nation” and some other show, and, regretfully, the maker of “Canadian Bacon.” His new book Stupid White Men is a bestseller.
MICHAEL: Hello, SDMB. Glad to be here on my book tour. It’s been an incredible experience so far. My book tour has been the most important trip taken by a human being in this country’s history since Lewis and Clark, which is pretty amazing since the book was almost banned! Questions?
DOPER #1: Mr. Moore, if your book was almost banned, why is it in every store in the country?
MICHAEL: Shut up, Bush-drone!
DOPER #2: But it wasn’t almost banned. The publisher was just nervous about putting it out right after 9/11, or so you’ve claimed. But they did put it out, and without any editing.
MICHAEL: They threatened to ban it! I had to fight to keep the dream alive!
DOPER #1: But that isn’t “Banning.” They aren’t the government. You could have published it some other way.
MICHAEL: Obviously, you’re an agent of the White House.
DOPER #1: Huh?
MICHAEL: You work for the Commander in Thief! Next.
DOPER #3: In Stupid White Men you claim that the Department of Defense spent $250 billion in one year on the Joint Strike Fighter. But that’s actually what they’ve spent on the program in all the years it’s existed, which is like more than a decade. And you said the Pentagon asked for a $1.5 trillion increase, but they didn’t. Why did you say things like that when they aren’t true? Surely it wouldn’t have taken more than thirty seconds to find out those numbers are ludicrous.
MICHAEL: All my facts are carefully researched.
DOPER #3: But these ones were wrong.
MICHAEL: You’re trying to ban me! You’re oppressing me! 'Elp! ‘Elp! I’m bein’ repressed!
MICHAEL PALIN: Hey!
MICHAEL: Next!
DOPER #4: On your Web site you claimed that it had been proven that the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was shot down by a USAF jet, and you said you had a picture that showed an F-16 chasing the plane that hit the World Trade Center. Where’s the proof? I’ve never seen such a picture.
MICHAEL: You’re trying to stop me from getting my message out! You must work for the IFM!
DOPER #4: Do you mean the IMF?
MICHAEL: See? You do, you can even spell it! Don’t hit me with that billy club!
DOPER #4: What billy club? This is a chat room.
MICHAEL: Recycling is bad, they send all the tin cans to Indonesia and force poor people to lick them. Next!
DOPER #5: Michael, I loved “Roger and Me.” But I’m curious; you keep saying evil forces are stopping you from getting your message out, yet you’ve published three books, had two or three TV shows, and made a few movies, including one of the worst comedies in film history. Nonetheless, “Roger and Me” is one of the best-known documentary films ever made and it’s been run on cable a zillion times. To all appearances, you seem to be just another rich white guy, an insider in the entertainment industry, and you aren’t have any problems getting your message out. Could you explain just where you’re having difficulties?
MICHAEL: GEORGE BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION!
DOPER #5: But, that doesn’t have anything to do with my question.
MICHAEL: He did too! Oh, and at my San Diego book signing, they arrested me for violating curfew!
DOPER #6: They didn’t arrest you. And it had nothing to do with CURFEW. You were trespassing. Don’t you know what the word “curfew” means?
MICHAEL: They sent in armored vehicles and water cannons! Anyway, that’s all the time I have. I have to go to my next book signing and have my feet anointed in oil. Bye!
SDMB MODERATOR: Thanks to Michael. Now for our second guest, here’s Rush Limbaugh, radio broadcaster, author, pundit, and former Royals employee when the Royals were actually good.
RUSH: Thanks for having me. Questions?
DOPER #7: Mr. Limbaugh…
RUSH: Shut up, Feminazi!
Yeah, that’s a problem, neither am I. I used to be just like Moore…i.e., a sensationalist socialist bastard. Now I’ve mellowed and am simply an apathetic, disillusioned socialist bastard.
He’ll probably accuse me of being an election thief, despite the fact that I’m not old enough to vote. Maybe I should wear one of my Jello Biafra t-shirts to prove to him that not all of his critics are on The Other Side.
I’ve read part of Downsize This!, his other book. I found it poorly written and unfunny.
So how should I approach him?
** Fewer, **Boris my luff.
Amen
I think it may be oversimplifying matters to characterize Moore as the Limbaugh of the left, but judging by the above sited glimpse of his web site I’d certainly buy that he had the Dittoheads of the left among his fans.
