The Michael Moore puppet that got blown up in Team America: World Police was stuffed full of ham and sausages.

That reporter has dead eyes.

You've seen too many pizza delivery pornos.

Michael Moore isn't the liberal hero you pubbies think he is. He is in fact a fat, annoying, stupid, idiot, who irritates both those on the left and right.

However..

The headline reads as so:



But here is the full quote, separated quite cleverly from the beginning of the quote by an advertisement by a terribly awful website:



While this rings true for pretty much every director's first movie ever made, I must ask that you use less biased sources while trying to take shots at the Democrats. Yes, he's still a hypocrite, but you're saying it for the wrong reasons.

The article listed several projects and how much wen to him. It's pretty clearly in the 10s of millions of dollars not matter how you slice it up.



Yes. And some of it went to him. I'm assuming you consider movie theaters capitalist enterprises? So... What does that make him?



So your argument seems to be that it's somehow not "good" that the profits from his films got spread around to a number of people who were involved in their production, distribution, and presentation? That's normal. That's capitalism. And that's exactly what Moore has used to run cackling to the bank with his pockets stuffed with cash.

I don't hold him at fault for this. If he can get people to pay to watch his documentaries and read his book, then he clearly earned the money he has. But for him to somehow deny that he has personally profited from capitalism is still a big fat lie.



I didn't see any refutation of the amount in the article. Did he do this elsewhere?




No. The "where did it go?" comment was designed (like much of the "answer with an answer" format in his documentaries) to imply something to the audience without actually saying it. If he says it and it's untrue, he has lied. If he simply asks "where did it go?", he's not actually denying that he made the money, or that he still has the money, or in fact anything at all.

He said it specifically because he knows from years of using that exact technique that people like you will assume this means that he doesn't have that much money (or never got it in the first place). He makes a living skirting around the truth. This is no different.

I think of him as a great big weight sitting on the left side pan of the scale. It does nothing more than offset the great big weight of people like Rush Limbaugh that are plopped down on the other side of the scale. It's ALL shock-jock, over-the-top, propaganda that is created with just enough truth to call it non-fiction.

And it works. Opening peoples eyes through TV is better than the blinkered masses bumping their way through life. If he didn't hit the spot every now and then you wouldn't see so many right wingers trying to diss him so often.

Well, high school teachers make some pretty lousy movies.

This reminds me, The Coen Brothers have a new movie coming out called The Serious Man. It's set in Minneapolis, maybe we'll see Nix in it.

The Coen Brother's parents were both teachers.
