When Michael The Moor sez:

"...completely convincing lifetime Democrat voters not to vote Republican."

He really means:

"...completely convincing hopelessly moonbat lunatics to spend all their money on him."

"...completely convincing lifetime Democrat voters not to vote Republican."

This should not be hard for him to accomplish this, if they are lifelong Dems they probably don't vote Republican ALREADY!

It's like saying you are going to McDonald's to convince McDonald's customers to eat McDonald's food! Doh!

Thank God for Helen Caldicott. Before she began her tireless war against nuclear weapons, I thought nuclear weapons were harmless! She led me to the truth: Like cigarettes, nuclear weapons can harm people!

Helen's War is a Canadian-Australian co-production...

My tax dollars at work. And people wonder why I'm voting Conservative.

Damien - don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. While this film may be a waste of money, don't forget your taxes also pay for defective Canadian flags and multimillion-dollar gun-owners lists.

Helen, the face that un-launched a thousand ICBMs?

bomb the world.

"...nuclear weapons can harm people!"

Ushie, only those nuclear weapons owned by western democracies can harm people. The Helen Caldicotts of the world never had a problem with the nuclear weapons owned by totalitarian marxist dictatorships.

Mmmm.. methinks some of our jolly crew missed the "satire" tag.

Helen Caldicott is still alive?

I recall going to a speech she made during the Bush Sr. Administration (I think 1989 or so) where she stated - with no qualifications at all - that he (Bush) was going to launch a nuclear attack against the then-Soviet Union. Flat out, bet your house statement.

About 2 months later, the whole rotted-out half-dead entity collapsed.

The Soviet Union that is.

The Herald Sun is apparently running a piece today called "The Awful Truth About Michael Moore". Can anyone confirm whether this is an investigation into his history of falsehood?

What is this strange new use of the word "dissident" that I see these days? They're always using it to describe people who governments neither silence or deport, and have many political compatriots. Are these same folks willing to call the Dalai Lama a dissident?

TokenMG, apparently the Herald Sun piece piles it on Moore big time. Unfortunately it's not online. Eternal gratitude (and pots at the pub) to anyone who can get it online.

Does Caldicott's new book explain the Treaty of Moscow's deep reductions in US and Russian nuclear warhead counts, and how they happened in the midst of the arms race that was sure to ensue following US abrogation of the ABM Treaty? The reckless unilateral Bushies just seem to keep stumbling into these sorts of successes -- but surely Caldicott and her really, really smart ilk can explain how this is all leading to disaster.

"Fantastic. I can't wait to not see it."

You crack me up.

Ah, you're right, David. I'm sure that a nuclear weapon in the hands of the mullahs of Iran will be as a soft, cuddly plush toy.

The Caldicott documentary has already appeared on Canadian TV (CBC Newsworld's The Passionate Eye) and it's every bit as appalling as you might expect.

Not that I didn't get a horselaugh or three out of it.

No, ushie, Iran's nukes are merely a deterrent that they would not need if they were not living in fear of the Great Satan. Same with the Soviet's. See, cheating, killing and stockpiling nukes are the only way these noble countries can survive the genocide of the west, that's why they get a pass.
