FIDEL BLOWS IT FOR MOORE?

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 3, 2004 10:54 AM

The airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on Cuban state-run TV is apparently a violation of Oscar Awards rules.

Property rights, schmoperty rights, right, Michael?

    Well,the Academy gave his last pack of lies an award that didn’t apply,so I don’t think that they will follow the rules this time either.

    Ha ha ha ha. What a moron.

    Although, as said above, we all know the Academy doesn’t follow it’s own rules, so they’ll probably just “look the other way” here.

    I suppose the rules only apply to conservative movies that they do not agree with, not liberal slant films. So i suppose we will have to endure another session of amazingly liberal agenda BS when the oscars come up….

    BTW, how did CASTRO get a copy of the film? That would be interesting to know

    Fidel prefers filmakers from the Lunatic Left fringe. In case anyone has forgotten, the old dictator also embraced Oliver Stone.

    I think CHRIS is exactly right, the publicity that the awards will garner from people will be worth any negative flack the academy will take, and it will even boost the sagging OSCAR ratings over the last few years. I am sure they will come up with some excuse such as it was a illegal showing and not approved by the studio while in the past they have made no such distinction…..
    The rulles change to suit thier agenda

    Rules, schmules. Why would they care? His film is BS, so why let facts and truth get in the way?

    I reckon the Academy Awards will be about four months after the Bush 2004 landslide, and won’t Mikey have his Depends in a bunch by that time?

    Perhaps it’ll be a posthumous award, since if Moore gets any fatter, he’s sure to keel over by then.

    So what if he wins another oscar. By then GW will be into his 2nd term, and the gloves will be coming off. All Moore will have accomplished is the fleecing of unsuspecting liberals for $100+ megabucks, and the academy for a 2nd oscar.

    Think positively: by the time the Oscars roll around Bush will be in his second term as president and the Democrats will be looking for a skapegoat to blame as to why they lost and Moore will be it. They will be distancing themselves from Moore and rightly perceiving him as their “kiss of death”. Even the Academy will be trying to distance itself from Moore and will be very happy to have an excuse not to nominate him.

    Mark my words, in the future, Moore is going to be vilified by the very same people who are currently adulating him. They will be saying, “he lied to us; he doctored that newspaper story; he got everything wrong, etc etc.”

    And that will be Moore’s just deserts.

    That’s my movie anyway.

    Fairweather, The term ‘communist’ is no longer used by the left to describe their agenda. The new term is ‘progressive’. Of course its the same thing - but after the fall of the evil empire the term ‘communism’ is no longer in vogue.

    Joanna, My guess is that they [liberals] will rally around Hillary Clinton (for 2008) who will sic them on Teresa Hinz-Kerry. Did you see Hillary’s face while Teresa was speaking at the convention? If looks could kill…..

    I can’t believe they’d nominate it for best film, I just can’t believe that!
    The Academy can’t be that stupid, surely.
    But then again - they probably are.

    Brian Cates, you summed things up perfectly.

    Someone else commented on Moore getting his just desserts. He already ate it.

    P.S. Was that Michigan State hat surgically attached to his fat head?
    I think if the top comes off, you’ll find Howard Dean hidden inside working the strings.

    Fairweather, ok I’m an ex-sailor and I am all for “foul mouthedness”, but at least take it to your own blog to spew and not on someone elses website comments. Sheesh, have a little common sense.

    F*ck I dropped my hat…

    Someone asked in the comments how Castro would get Moore’s film to run on the island. Thats easy. Moore’s film is meant to foment hatred of the US and the current administration, thus, it is right at home in Castro’s Cuba. Moore probably personally sent it to Castro.

    Fairweather, after viewing the site you posted above I assume the hat you drop quite often is white and pointy?

    Funniest/weirdest thing about your site is it has a kids page..wtf?!?!

    Think I’ve seen it all now.

    Michael Moore’s film company is now saying that they did not authorize Cuba to air his movie. They said that Cuba must have shown a pirated copy of the film. The Academy says that if that is true then he is still eligible for the nomination. The Academy says that they will take Michael Moore’s word and will not do an investigation. Sounds like this story was just a new controversy to drum up more hype for his fat bloated movie.

    Perhaps Fidel got the film from his socialist buddy Jimmy Carter.

    I was hoping that he would grab his chest and collapse when he spoke(lied) at the Demogaugic Nationalist Confection.

    There’s a lot of whack jobs in here if you ask me - too many liberals, what are you reading Michelle’s stuff for anyway? It’s like all you freaks that listen to Limbaugh just because he makes you mad. I guess you just like hearing yourself bitch!

    J.J. - I must admit that I agree with many of your views, but tone it down a bit. You give the true Progressives (ie-Conservatives who aren’t afraid to speak truthfully and freely) a very bad name. We don’t need people like you helping the other side make their case for them. Keep it quiet and under the table, if you know what I mean. I think we’d all appreciate it.

    No. I’m not interested J.J. and neither is very many other people.

    Why?

    Because you can’t say something without using adjectives that aren’t cuss words. Please change.

    SKY KING - I agree with you on this subject.

    Well, okay.

    At any rate, I love poetic justice and this sounds like just that. Fidel Castro and Michael Moore, like two clumsy, disagreeable hoodlums, one short and fat, the other tall and old like characters in some old comedy flick are enjoyed by all as they, in their common scheme to (insert scheme) trip each other up and both wind up foiled. Ah, I love classics.

    Looks like F9/11 could be a foreign film. Ole’ Mikey could accept his Oscar in French. I can see Mr. Fidel as the male presenter. Any nominations for the female presenter?

    Let me address this. Fidel-TV is a vanity station for Fidel’s private amusement, much like you good people of the right-wing blogoswamp have your own funny little websites no one pays any attention to.

    The fact that a few Cubans may have intercepted the signal in no way disqualifies this fine film, which brought NY Daily News critic Jami Bernard to tears.

    Sky: Maybe they can use John Kerry as a French interpreter, no? Teresa will translate what Fidel says to English when he introduces Moore and John will then translate this and whatever Moore happens to utter, into French. Est Magnifique, non? ;-)

    Carl, I’m totally with you… I’d give about anything to get in there. Who wouldn’t cuddle up with an intelligent sex kitten like her? I only wish…

    Maybe she’d let us if we both went at it at the same time with her? Not every lady gets an offer like that.

    No thanks sky king - I’m kinky, but very straight.

    Carl - That’s hilarious, and yes, would be very, very erotic. Dang, I’m pleasuring myself right now to tell the truth. Thank goodness for Michelle’s photo on this website - helps out the fantasy.

    She’s hot in that 20-dollar Phillipino hooker kind of way. Even though I know she’s much smarter than that - which makes it all the more hotter.

    I love this site!

    Oh ya, Pelosi too. Can you imagine her and Michelle Malkin together - they’d be all bitchy with each other - but you know they’d totally go at it like a couple of female tigers. Really rough stuff too - that kind of “I hate you so much I just need to pound you - sexually” kind of stuff.

    Dang you guys, Michelle, you’re all really turning me on…
