Just posing a couple of questions ..

Did MM have anything to do with Bush winning the last election? It's very odd that MM was a Nader supporter last time, *PLUS* he has benefited big-time (money and fame) since Bush was elected.

Did MM somehow get to the poll workers in Florida? Did MM manipulate the ballots so they were confusing? What is MM's connection to the infamous 'hanging chads' we heard so much about?
There's more here that 'some people' don't want us to know. The truth is being suppressed and MM's involvement in the '00 election chaos should be looked into.

I'm also 'just asking' if it's possible MM had anything to do with 9/11? Look at how he has profited (money and fame) by this event. MM has increased his personal fortune since 9/11 more than about anyone else. MM has certainly profited from 9/11 more than Bush.

What was MM doing on 9/11? He certainly stayed away from the WTC that day. I wonder why?

Is Michael Moore hiding WMD so far up his ass that they can't be found without a welding torch? I'm just posing a question. An investigation may discover the truth.

Ken, that kind of investigation would reveal more deadly toxins and noxious gasses than you could ever believe.

You're right. Precision bombing is way to go.

whats that smell? ...like dead animal carcass, or Mike Moore's credibility.

Ghastly foul stench.

Or maybe's it's Bush's?

Or maybe it's yours, th. (Oooh, indie-cred-flaunting allusions to George Lucas's first scifi movie in your nick, so radical. Yawn.)

By the way, I had a thought: just what would be so bad about an oil pipeline across Afghanistan? Assuming it's feasible, wouldn't a pipeline across the entire country be a boost to the economy in the area in the form of jobs maintaining and guarding the thing, and so on? And wouldn't that be a good thing? Or do all these oil-pipeline-haters want to keep the Afghans poor and stupid? Oh don't answer that last one, rhetorical question.

Andrea, for your information, I've been using that handle for since high school (10+ years ago), and it happens to be one of my favorite movies (up there with 1984 and Anthem, which I know are books, but deal with a similar theme). And, if you want to get specific, it is his first movie, everything before is a short. Or, if you disagree that shorts aren't "movies", then his first sci-fi movie is THX 1138:4EB. A subtle difference, but hey.

(Ooohhh, real-life cred by using your first and last name as your nick, so radical. Yawn.)

BTW: Hope your mouth feels better. :)

It's better, thanks. Now quit copying and posting other peoples' articles in the comments section. You may post an excerpt with a link, or in the case of articles from non-internet sources, an excerpt and the source of the article so we can look it up for ourselves if we so choose. If you're really confused about how to do this, observe how Tim does his posts. It's not that difficult.

Well, update -- I posted the above before you tried your little stunt. For that you've been banned. (For the mystified: clever scifi buff here decided to respond to my request that he not post other peoples' writings here by copying and pasting one of my blog posts. Ha ha! So funny!)

The oil pipeline was to supply Europe.

Dammit! If you keep banning these knuckleheads, how else will the rest of us stay sharp with our troll-stomping skills?

Guess I could always ask Al Gore to come over and mow my lawn...

I can't understand this collective Moorgasm. I watched the movie (thanks usenet) and was kind of disappointed. This movie might change someone's mind, but not a mind that has access to the counterarguments and the facts.

Don't worry, Sean! Michael Moore has a team of crack lawyers working around the clock to destroy counterarguments and facts! Money can buy you anything.

How does Moore square his insinuations with Bush's public support for an undersea pipeline in the Caspian that would have bypassed Afghanistan completely? Oh, wait, Moore never squares his insinuations...

Geezer: you gotta be quick! But I am sure funny guy will be back after he figures out how to get on with a different IP. Which I will ban.

Slighty OT: The reviews currently on the main page for "MM Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man" at Amazon are pure gold. Excerpts:

"Just the title, attack someone for being caucasian, overweight, and trying to imply that he's stupid..."

Yep, Mikey would never do such a thing, after all.

"...is a sad commentary on how these right wing authors are able to hoodwink uneducated individuals."

Mikey just hoodwinks the "educated" classes instead.

"It's amazing what some people will write and publish when they don't like a person."

Truly amazing indeed...can't wait to see that poster's condemnation of F9/11 on the same grounds.

"If the main stream press would put as much effort into unveiling the lies of President Bush as these authors put into slimming michael moore, we'd probably be watching an impeachment right now."

That doesn't even deserve a response beyond hysterical giggling at the notion that the press is too right-wing and giving Bush an undeserved pass.

Nice Freudian slip though..."slimming" Michael Moore?

BTW, the same guy who bitches about the "big fat stupid white man" part of the title speaks favorably of Al Franken (of "Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot" 'fame') one paragraph before. You can't make this stuff up.

Re the 9/11 - Michael Moore conspiracy ... really, who has benefitted more, financially, in stature, etc. than a certain downtrodden man-of-the-people filmmaker? CNN sez Fakenheit will be playing in twice as many theatres this weekend as last; expect more big box office numbers. I'm sure exploiting 9/11 will keep Moore and his descendants in Big Macs for generations to come!

I suggest investigating the Moore/bin Laden links. As Mikey himself has shown us, they don't have to make sense. Some Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon thing will do just fine.

I was going to see F911 yesterday. I was going to see Spiderman and stay for F911 afterward. The Forum 30 had about 10 theaters fully dedicated to Spiderman. There was only one theater with two show times for F911. I didn't want to wait half an hour for the Spiderman that finished just before F911 started though. I guess I'll have to wait for it to come out on cable, or maybe CBS will run it right before the election.

I think all of Michael's audience might have rushed out to see it the first weekend.

Spiderman 2 was the far superior movie, and a brilliant tribute to the superhero myth. You've got Spiderman's quest to protect others versus J Jonah Jameson's desire to drag him down with slanted headlines and the "power of the press". After Spidey finally gives up in despair, the penny-pinching publisher brags about how he brought the "real" menance down. He regrets for a few seconds after everyone realizes there's no one to stop Doc Ock, of course.

That was close enough to Moore for me.

"I guess I'll have to wait for it to come out on cable, or maybe CBS will run it right before the election."

Or... (Don't worry, Mike said it's okay!)

Oops, maybe not!

MM can't be quite the darling of the left we all thought, if Newsweek is coming after him. Amazing they found his assertions egregious enough to mention and clarify.

So Mr Moore, stopped beating your wife yet?

Just asking, 's all.

I suggest investigating the Moore/bin Laden links. As Mikey himself has shown us, they don't have to make sense. Some Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon thing will do just fine.

Does Hizb'allah have links to Al Qaeda?
