    Michael Moore vs. Michael Yon

    As for Moore-is-less, has ever ever had an original thought?

    Moore-on has built his entire deceitful career with out of context words, pictures and videos. How unsurprising that he would use some of Yon’s amazing work to further his anti-US propaganda.

    I hope Yon crushes him like the bug he is.

    Michael Moore apparently does not understand – or refuses to acknowledge – the moral distinction between a man who would murder innocent people, and a man who would sacrifice himself to save them.

    I’m afraid this line of thinking isn’t relegated to just Michael Moore… Liberals in general do not make this distinction. Yet, we are suppose to believe that they are patriotic and support the troops.

    Moore’s an idiot. Saying he never had a chance to vote.

    Cough..cough..bullsh**..cough..cough

    There was a primary, the people were told it wouldn’t count. But many voted anyway to make their voice heard in the hopes that the decision might be changed down the line.

    Moore didn’t do that. He’d rather sit around and whine about the unfairness of it all.

    Alright, Michael, since this was all so grossly unfair let’s seat Michigan at the convention and let those who voted in the face of adversity have their say. What’s that? Well yes, Hillary will get the delegates because that’s how the people voted. Ohhhhh you don’t want Hillary to get the delegates because you support Obama. But what about the poor disenfranchised voters? Just screw them because they didn’t vote your way? Those people went out and cast a ballot in spite of thinking it wouldn’t count. You didn’t. You threw in the towel and decided to play the victim. Boo freakin’ hoo!

    Loser.

    Micheal Yon is 10 times the man that the Michigan Manatee could ever be. I have had a personal experience with his liberal ways, and am ashamed to claim the same hometown as him. Life ain’t easy when you’re fat and greasy. Slap him on the face by supporting Soldiers Angels, Micheal Yon, or just “Thank a Soldier”.

    Oh, I think he does; he just has the roles reversed. To Moore, the man who would murder innocent people is the US Marine, while the man who would sacrifice himself to save them is the insurgent “Minuteman.”

    I just bought Yon’s book, “Moment of Truth in Iraq.” What a testament to the men & women of our armed forces. Each & every one is a hero. Moore should read the book, & be ashamed of himself.

    Michael Moore wouldn’t know the truth if it was deep fried and served up on a fork. He’ll twist whatever he can to get his point lie across.

    Jerk!

    That’s because Moore is heartless unless it is someone who shares his view.

    Those who would make the ultimate sacrifice deserve our deepest respects.

    I remember that when his Bowling for Columbine was released, there was an entire website devoted just to debunking all of the half-truths, inuendo, and bare-faced lies in it. Ditto Farenhite 9-11.

    So, now, if Michael Mooreon told me the sky is blue and the grass is green, I’d go check it for myself.

    Okay, with a couple of exceptions I have made for lgm, I do not normally engage in personal attacks. However, sometimes they are deserved.

    Moore is a clueless bloated lying POS, which I will never patronize by watching any of the one sided liberal trash he calls documentaries. On the other hand Michael Yon is in my humble opinion the Ernie Pyle of this generation documenting an all volunteer force of our citizens putting their lives at stake for each one of us, for those they serve with, and the oppressed masses of Islamic states. There can be no comparison between the two. Keep up the great work Mr. Yon!

    This is typical liberal behavior. Why is anyone surprised at this? Look at frankenstein and his “forgetting” to pay his taxes? Liberals have no honor and I don’t believe they support the troops, they generally support the looking for the worse in the troops even when it doesn’t exsist.
    I know the liberal chorus will be on saying yes they do support the troops. No you can’t have it both ways, you either support them 100% including their mission or forget about it. Just me and my little old opinion but I will never believe liberals care about the troops, unless they can be useful in someway (anti-war, bds) to them.

    We are very fortunate that G-d has blessed a man, Micheal Yon, with both great courage and wisdom.

    And also for even Micheal Moore … for it was Moore’s misanthropy that gave Mr. Yon to write this response.

    Why is Moore still here? I thought he promised to leave the USA? The only proper presentation of Moore is the one in ‘Team America’. It’s wonderful because he’s eating a hotdog, shirt stained with mustard, and he blows himself up. Awesome.

    Wait…not so much.

    Lies in “Fahrenheit 9-11” (more here, and at the 53,000-plus Google hits)

    Lies in Sicko, with more here.

    So this is no surprise.

    What an amazingly simply and poignant point Mr. Yon had…right to the heart of the issue. Of course, I agree with everything he says 100%.

    I just have one question though. Why is it that Michael Moore states that he is unable to vote? Is he a convicted felon? Is there something we don’t know about him that we should?

    I am convinced that Moore and Franken don’t have a creative bone in there bodies. They take other peoples images and statements, employ them in there own book titles and useless documentaries and call it original. Pussgut Moore is a hack. I think even the Leftys are figuring THAT out.

    I agree. Yon is a world class act. If only others could do the same at times.

    This quote should be in Moore’s imdb bio.

    Michael’s Moore deliberately misguided & misrepresented the reality of the “universal” healthcare system in Canada.

    I know this because I am Canadian. And I lived in the US for years. I have a point of comparison between both systems.

    “Sicko” best describes Michael Moore’s state of mind.
