Michael Moore: Champion of the working man…except when hiring his own film crew.

Hire as he says, not as he hires.

    While Moore didn’t pay union wages, I am sure that he offered them Cuban healthcare.

    Most likely these are jobs American don’t want anyway. Better to give them to illegals, er, undocumented workers.

    MOORE reminds me of a line from the SOPRANOS… Talking about TONY’S mother, he said,”She could be walking down the road with a Virginia ham under her arm, and be complaining because she had no bread… CAPITALISM hasn’t done anything for him… RIIGGHHT!!!

    Just as in the old Soviet system, if you provide a useful propaganda product to the State you are rewarded handsomely. Anyway, he probably figures that his riches are solely the result of a grateful Proletariat.

    The great thing about being a Democrat (ie, Marxist) is that morals are only for the bitter clingers.

    The good news, is only like minded thinkers will be separated from their money to see this dreck.

    No patriotic American will pay to see it.

    Michael Moore, Al Sharpton, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, etc, etc, etc.

    What’s really disgusting is not merely these people individually, but that the Idiot Media so fawningly and reflexively gives them voice in the first place.

    Of course, an Idiot Public is needed to support an Idiot Media.

    Which explains why liberalism is so virulently invasive: the populace (in the aggregate) must be dumbed-down in order for Libs to take hold.

    Remember, during the 2008 election, when it was revealed that Obama was underpaying his female workers (relative to their male counterparts) while McCain was overpaying his female workers?

    Anyone can “talk the talk”, but walking the walk is another ball of wax, particularly for hypocrites, I mean, Democrats.

    On the CBS morning show,they were talking about how a Chicago victory would be described as the result of the “Obama effect”.

    The failure to win should be similarly linked.

    Here is Dave Kehr’s (The NYT film critic) pithy comment on the film:

    Michael Moore’s faux naif “Capitalism: A Love Story” is mainly notable for the absurd lengths Moore goes to in order to avoid pronouncing the potentially audience-alienating word “socialism” — as in the film’s stated moral, “The opposite of capitalism is democracy.”

    Chicago lost its bid? Maybe it has something to do with Obama running around the world talking smack about how America is such a horrible country. Why would the IOC want to give it an honor like this since Obama seems to tear it down so often?

    So we are pro-union now, or do we just prefer to criticize any position the Moore takes? (as the left would suggest)

    You really do not know? Fat Boy claims to be the King of Irony and the Working Man’s Best Friend. Put the two together. He and his have been calling us scabs/scabmeisters for generations.

    And yes, we prefer to criticize any position Moore takes, ironic isn’t is?

    The problem is some people think Moore really cares about (insert grievance here) and are willfully IGNORANT of his numerous hipocracies. He is simply an oppotunist and plays this group like a fiddle, getting rich in the process. He is a con man, pure and simple, and those who dance to his tune are saps.

    Moore wouldn’t know capitalism if it walked up and gave him an (unearned) dividend. He does know exploitation, though, which is so “democratic”, right Michael? At least, the Democrats are really expert at exploitation. Maybe he learned it growing up in Flint, MI.

    Michael Moore exudes excess from every pore of his grotesque body. He is a glutton: for attention, for food, for recognition as a supposedly wise sage who will set us all straight about how awful America is. So now while this working class hero uses the capitalist system to make millions through lying propaganda films; he produces a film attacking capitalism. Capitalism is the natural expression of our individual freedom and liberty, which the Founding Fathers made paramount over everything including government, but not paramount over God, from which we derive that freedom and liberty. If this pig thinks that there is a better economic system than what we have in America, then truly… why doesn’t this fool put his money where his mouth is (not another double cheeseburger) and renounce his citizenship and move to a socialist country where things are just so much better. I’m so sick of this focking wind bag.

    This is just a continuing pattern of behavior for this fat POS. Google Michael Moore hypocrisy and you get over 390,000 hits. His hypocrisy includes him owning stocks (while claiming to not own a single share), hiring non-union workers, filming in Canada to avoid using union workers, slapping a former underling with a restraining order to stop him from making a “Roger & Me” type film after MM had fired him.

    This guy is a poster child for liberal hypocrisy.

    Yes, that quote fits M. Moore perfectly.
    That picture has the wrong heading. It should just read; PIG.
    Without capitalism M. Moore would have nothing to be against and nothing to make fun of and would just have nothing.

    When I was helping out another instructor where I used to teach, he showed the class “Bowling for Columbine” and many of the kids in the class were just swallowing Moore’s garbage as “gospel.” I was trying not to laugh out loud at some of the egregious lies contained in the film.

    I probably cannot post the words here that would adequately describe Moore.

    Speaking of his movie, I noticed that it was last on the list for this weekend in terms of receipts. I went to DU to see if they were talking about this. Not a peep. But they do have a lot of threads about some 4 theater release/showing. They take the receipts from that and extrapolate into if it were nationwide and then claim it would be an all time hit moneywise. LOL! But when reality hits them in the face they do tend to keep quiet and hope the issue will just pass.
