SLACKERS UNRISEN

The Scotsman's Fraser Nelson reports:

For the first time in years, Michael Moore was speechless.

The film-maker and author was keeping quiet yesterday as he digested the inconceivable: his books, films and campaigns had not even dented Mr Bush’s political lead.

By the looks of him, Moore has some experience digesting the inconceivable. And how happy will Hillary Clinton be to read this:

Mr Moore has publicly called for Hillary Clinton to enter the 2008 presidential race, and is now expected to turn his attentions to supporting her.

The Moore curse is already in play. Meanwhile, Moorelies.com has this response to Moore's silence.

The left world-wide over-relies on spin & under-relies on substantiation—e.g., their persistent & undying myths of Bush’s having served a plastic turkey in Baghdad last Thanksgiving & complaints by some of them that it was anyway only decorative, etc., as if it mattered & weren’t routine under the circumstances. And Air Force One’s route—article after article! Spewed as fact their Chomskyish shifty-focused rhetoric in order to obfuscate & distract from things like Bush’s Three Pillars speech in London & the anti-terrorist marches in Baghdad soon after Bush’s visit. The plastic-turkey mass media with all their spin & slant & omission have fallen short, thank goodness. Time to retire Rather & his CBSNews propaganda cult. Bye, bye, Brokaw. We’re on to you, Pinch. Etc. Moore the Boor, at a bar he’s stool on a stool. He won’t quit what with what’s in it for him. They won’t quit—Power! Wealth! Glory & glamour! Guruhood!

Still, one more time, for coming times’ sake: Time for them to go!

I live in London, England. I read the Guardian (it's a paper I'm cynical about but I'm cynical about all media) Anyway I think its idea of influencing the voters of Clark County was pretty bloody stupid, and I loathe Richard Dawkins. But having said that, now your elections are over: you Yanks are whining about us trying to influence you when your country intervenes in most countries around the world, whether via the CIA, your military or your multinationals. Your country has been subverting freedom and democracy around the world for the last 100 years. Now perhaps you think that's hilarious - I see at the top of this page there is an ad which says "Encourage global capitalism's savage inequities". But why not come right out and admit it - freedom and democracy are for the Yanks but no-one else.

I try hard not to hate you Yanks - I know there are a lot of good people in the US. I've been to the US once and I know most Americans haven't got a clue what is going on the world - you haven't got any kind of free media at all. I wouldn't want to live in the States any more than in Stalin's Russia. But I gotta say that electing Bush - are you going to invade Iran now - is not going to make you loved around the world

Posted by: Donard at November 5, 2004 at 04:10 AM

Stalin: mass murder, terror, savage repression of all non-Stalinist thought.

America: Decent customer service, V-8s, steaks, bemused tolerance of furriners who are ignorant of American mores.

I can TOTALLY see the attraction of Stalin.

donerd - yes, we have no freedom of media. Why only 2 nights ago I turned on the telly and saw that "A Clockwork Orange" was on. Did I watch it? No - but I made that choice myself. Enough of the dumb americans mantra - your smugness is repugnant.

"I try hard not to hate you Yanks"

Well, we sure do appreciate that.

"I've been to the US once and I know most Americans haven't got a clue what is going on the world - you haven't got any kind of free media at all."

Astonishing.

"I wouldn't want to live in the States any more than in Stalin's Russia."

Well, you're all set then. You can choose to live in the States or not, and Stalin's Russia is long gone. It's a win-win!

Posted by: Ryan W at November 5, 2004 at 04:26 AM

Donard, wake up and smell the coffee. We Americans weren't "...loved around the world" when Clinton was President. Or Carter. Or even further back. This has nothing to do with President Bush's re-election. All of your unoriginal talking points have been complaints against America for years.

Subverting freedom for the past 100 years, eh? Stomping out Nazism in Europe was a bad thing? You object to bringing down the Berlin Wall and re-unifying Germany? Preventing genocide in the Balkans is something that you are against?

And so on. Well, you are clearly a leftoid socialist troll ranting because Kerry lost. Saying anything rational and coherent is a lost cause; your post reads like you need a massive dose of lithium.

The sad thing is, after 4 more years of President Bush, and the AmeriKKKan Gulags don't appear, the gays aren't shot and ground up for cattlefeed, and the oppressed minorities aren't forced into slavery, you and your brethern will still feel the same way. Because you didn't get it your way. Well, socialism doesn't work. Communism doesn't work. Democracy barely works, but we have to work at it. And that's the best part about this election -- democracy does work. We just proved it.

Hey, what's that .....

POP!

Oops! That was the sound of your head exploding from your rage. Watch those bulging veins, it's a sure sign that your blood pressure is up.

Posted by: The Real JeffS at November 5, 2004 at 04:28 AM

Bush leads the U.S. to the liberation of umpteen million people from tyranny halfway across the world, as Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr. had done before him, and as FDR and Truman had done before them, and here Donard tells us with all the confused earnestness that only leftists can muster in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary:

But why not come right out and admit it - freedom and democracy are for the Yanks but no-one else.

This level of delusion is simply astonishing. Ash heap of history for you.

Posted by: PW at November 5, 2004 at 04:38 AM

Moore was silent yesterday so as not to betray his glee. He has a guaranteed gold mine for the next 4 years thanks to Bush winning, and a solid core of people lining up to be swindled.

So give him a few days to put his game face back on, release a "we've experienced a minor setback, but I have more products for you to buy" message, and hire a few more accountants.

Posted by: Chrees at November 5, 2004 at 04:42 AM

Hey Donard, get a grip - if we really wanted to take over the world, there is very little you or anyone else could do about it anyway. So considering that you still have the ability to write your anti-American missives, be thankful, very thankful. And hope that when Europes impending immigration explosion creates Muslim majorities on the continent, America still cares enough to worry about saving your sorry ass.
Who knows under your opinion, we might just wait for the continent to go wacky, then blow the whole thing up and start over. I always wanted a vaction home on the Mediterranian.

Jeez, Donald, you'd be right at home over here with Alec Baldwin, Barbra Steisand, Sean Penn and all the other smug morons our controlled press has failed to oppress.

Wait a minute. I hear shots. Oh, yeah, that's Bush driving through the neighborhood, shooting everyone who voted for Kerry. No news there, eh, Donald?

Posted by: gary at November 5, 2004 at 04:47 AM

Your country has been subverting freedom and democracy around the world for the last 100 years.

Here is my quick list of democratic countries made possible by either American blood and/or its treasure:

France, Belgium, Holland, Luxemburg, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungry, Latvia, Lithuania, Greece, Israel, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, Estonia & the newest edition - Afghanistan.

Not bad for a bunch of slack-jawed yokels.

No Perfect, those are the thrall states we created, under our control by secret radio beams transmitted to their leaders, who were altered at birth to eventually serve us.

I suspect that the silence is the sound of Moore trying to deal with how terribly inconsequential he really is.

Posted by: daniel at November 5, 2004 at 04:59 AM

US Democrats, with friends like Donard, don’t need enemies. Yet, sans American versions of Donard, US Democrats fall short in energy & lack a significant percentage of their base. Anyway, nobody here is fooled by Donard’s knocking of a failed commie icon. “Communism with a human face” is just another failed old flatus of the left.

Do unto commies as you do unto nazis—hit them while they’re up, kick them whle they’re down.

I've been to England too and was astonished to discover that Mr. Bean was actually a documentary, and that all Englishmen are mute pratfalling twits. Or was it effeminate monocle-wearing Lord Frumpypants types? Hmmm. No, wait, I remember now: it was all English women are grossly fat whorebeasts like the "Two Fat Ladies", or Elton John if you prefer (who actually lives in Atlanta, where all the gun-loving homophobes live, which is strange).

I used to be bothered by such comments until I realized that people like Donard are going into Ashcroft's little black book, and will be made into Soylent Green in Bush's next term.

Now can we get back to discussing Michael Moore's new documentary on the Illuminati?

Posted by: Rob at November 5, 2004 at 05:04 AM

The climate of fear in the United States is quite real. When intelligent, well-meaning people criticize the administration, they are at best ignored, or even told outright that they are "wrong" -- even when the criticism accurately reflects the balance of world opinion. This savage assault on all dissent is the most unmistakeable indicator of a police state that could be imagined. Civilized norms are utterly ignored.

For centuries, Europe has been the model for international cooperation; the United States has learned nothing from this, and still childishly refuses to follow the lead of older and wiser heads. It's no surprise that the US has descended into explicit fascism, led by a gang of avowed cowboys.

Posted by: Hello Lunchbox at November 5, 2004 at 05:05 AM

The first part of Lunchbox's post makes me think he's serious; the second screams "satire" though.

It's spelled correctly though, so I'll say satire.

Posted by: JP Gibb at November 5, 2004 at 05:15 AM

Beautifully put, Lunchbox. A perfect distillation of the present state of thought among the self-regarding Leftoids. Now of course they're all telling themselves scary stories, like junior-high-school girls at a slumber party: Fascist Amerika is upon us; gays will be put up against the wall and shot; Bush's stormtroopers will come and TAKE US ALL AWAY. Do you think they'll be disappointed when nothing like that happens? Because for the Lefties, there is no worse fate than being *ignored*?

For centuries, Europe has been the model for international cooperation

Lemme see, now.....World War I, World War II. Started by Europeans. Got it!

Hmmmmm......Iron Curtain, well, I consider the Soviets to have on the Euro-Asia landmass, but hey, what would I know as an avowed cowboy?

With that train of thought, let's not forget Serbia! Yep, 'international cooperation' = 'rape Bosnian women by Serbian men'. Next!

...the United States has learned nothing from this, and still childishly refuses to follow the lead of older and wiser heads.

Let's see.....how about Chamberlain, who appeased Hitler for naught? de Gaule, who nearly ruined the liberation of France with his own ego? Putin, who is just now starting to pull his head out of his ass, maybe? I'm sure that you can produce other names of sterling quality, but given Europes' sterling history of brotherhood and love, you'll understand that I am underwhelmed by the thought of "older and wiser heads".

It's no surprise that the US has descended into explicit fascism, led by a gang of avowed cowboys.

Woo hoo! Folks, we is avowed cowboys! And supporting fascism, at that! I 'spose all that election show we'uns put on was so fake, that we didn't fool Lunchbox. No siree, all 58 million cowboys fooled the UN observers, international TV reporters, and all that other hoopala. But not Lunchbox. Dang! Someone call Karl Rove, we needs us an rodeo or somethin'!

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at November 5, 2004 at 05:19 AM

It's well known that the media of the opposition party enjoys a boom. When Clinton was elected subscriptions to The American Spectator went through the roof. When Bush was elected subscriptions to The Nation doubled, and book stores have been infested with titles that are a variation on "Stupid BusHitler Idiot White Chimpy."

And of course Michael Moore has sold a lot of books and a couple films. Which finance his New York mansion, and give him public noteriety.

So, in the spirit of Michael Moore reasoning, I think we need to ask "Cuo buono", who benefits? Is it the case that Moore is deliberately sabotaging the Democrats and the Left in order to remain in opposition, so he can continue to profit handsomely from his movie and book sales? So he can life like a plutocrat in his New York mansion and jet to Cannes?

I'm just asking the question....

Mr. Bingley, I believe that the regional uniform of the week is jackboots, black leather pants and blouse, Sam Browne belt, white shirt with tie (bow tie after 6 PM), swagger stick, and peaked cap. Decorations and awards are limited to ribbons and badges. No medals or medallions. Rank insignia must be gold, no exceptions. Sidearms will be worn in a matching holster. A black leather trench coat is also authorized. No monocles unless you are at least senior field grade.

As a suggestion, if you wear hobnailed boots (authorized but optional), they make a wonderful sound as you goose step down the street.

“Team Al Qaeda, World Police
“Al Qaeda is the only organization willing and able to enforce decent norms of international behavior in the world today”

The posting below it is also way over the top. Hello Lunchbox’s whole Website is satirical parody. The best kind—the kind which takes a moment to recognize, but is ultimately unquestionably a parody. Like the editorials in the old Not The New York Times. Congratulations, Hello Lunchbox!

You can't laugh dissent out of existence any more than Ashcroft can club it out of existence. You can't make the facts go away. You can't make your nation's crimes go away.

This savage assault on all dissent is the most unmistakeable indicator of a police state that could be imagined."

First of all, telling somebody they're wrong isn't a savage assault on all dissent. It's called a difference of opinion, and we encourage that in a democracy.

Second, although the savage assault on all dissent is an unmistakable indicator of a police state, I don't think that it's THE unmistakable indicator. In fact, I think an unarmed populace is a better indicator of a police state.

Hello Lunchbox

I live in NYC where over the past year I lived in fear of extermination for expressing my beliefs because of the overwhelming amount of threats of violence I received from those who think like you.

Iraq is today liberated from one of the world's most brutal and oppressive dictatorships. I pity your condemnation of this event because this means other oppressive dictatorships will thrive.

Meanwhile, in one of your civilized European neighborhoods, a film maker was openly shot and stabbed to death by an Islamic Fascist on the streets of Amsterdam for having made a film exposing the horrendous treatment of Islamic females.

I hope Van Gogh's murder did not bring joy to your life as much as Iraqis forced to live under Saddam's brutal regime apparently had.

And you call yourself "CIVILIZED"?

"influencing the voters of Clark County was pretty bloody stupid, and I loathe Richard Dawkins."

I agree.

"now your elections are over: you Yanks are whining about us trying to influence you"

I think we were whining before...now our elections is over: we sense complete failure on their part and have begun to appreciate the benefits of their efforts.

"Now perhaps you think that's hilarious"

Yes, you are correct.

" I know there are a lot of good people in the US."

Yes, I think atleast 51% could be considered good, maybe 20% confused and the rest hopelessly flawed. Thank you for noticing.

"are you going to invade Iran now - is not going to make you loved around the world"

Not sure expect it depends on how they act. We aren't loved around the World? oh well, guess foreigners will quit dropping by to stay the rest of their lives.

Be sure not to miss the nervous breakdown of the seldom lucid Mark Morford. Here's a sample:

You want to block it out. You want to rend your flesh and yank your hair and say no way in hell and lean out your window and scream into the Void and pray it will all be over soon, even though you know you're an atheist Buddhist Taoist Rosicrucian Zen Orgasmican and you don't normally pray to anything except maybe the gods of really exceptional sake and skin-tingling sex and maybe a few luminous transcendental deities that look remarkably like Jenna Jameson.

Leftards like Donard STILL don't get that their arrogance, overweaning pride and lack of reality on their part are what compelled many people to vote for Bush alone. Two days after a resounding whallop to the anti-bush crowd's bums, they still turn around and hiss their evil condescension and hatred.

Which leaves me to believe that you Leftards need to simply be taken out, like Atticus Finch took out the rabies-infected dog : with one shot to the head. But dont worry! I don't mean this literally! All I have to do is point you to what Zell Miller has to say about his own party Here : http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/1104/04edmiller.html

I see Morford's not changed his writing style from when his screeds got shredded over on Juan Gato's (now defunct) blog. Geez, I've seen fanfiction more well written.

Posted by: JP Gibb at November 5, 2004 at 07:26 AM

Your country has been subverting freedom and democracy around the world for the last 100 years.

People like Donard use the phrase "freedom and democracy" constantly, but they have no idea what it really means. They are generally ineffective people, though, so it doesn't matter what they understand or don't. There are a few million people in the Middle East now who understand completely what it means.

Posted by: Rebecca at November 5, 2004 at 07:29 AM

Oh, and Donard? I don't give a damn whether you like us or not. We're here, we're loud and proud, and we're not going away, and we for damn sure are not going to make nice anymore just so people like you will like us!

Posted by: Rebecca at November 5, 2004 at 07:32 AM

Yes, the most hilarious part of Donard's screed was the implied assumption that being liked by people like him is actually something worth achieving. Such an over-inflated sense of his own importance, tsk tsk.

Posted by: PW at November 5, 2004 at 07:43 AM

Thanks for the Morford link, Randal - I hadn't seen any of his stuff since Lucianne.com was declared a Morford-free zone.

He sounds the same as always - as though he were typing with one hand and diddling himself with the other. And that probably would have held even in the event of a Kerry victory. Yech.

Posted by: Annalucia at November 5, 2004 at 08:15 AM

Donard - I am Australian, and we have plenty of freedom and democracy Downunder. The selfish Yanks dont seem to be hoarding it for themselves just yet -

How do you explain this?

You state that the US intervenes in politics around the world - well, which country does not, if it has the power?

Do you recall an entity known as The British Empire?

Or the IslamoFascists of Saudi Arabia, who spend billions spreading their poison worldwide - building so-called 'schools' where the captive students are indoctrinated in hatred and bigotry.

This doesnt qualify as 'intervening'?

And to compare the US with Stalin's Russia - well, thats old ground - you may recall that many other Englishmen felt as you do - Burgess, McClane and co. if my memory serves.

Bush is in power, bring on the Gulags!!

In the first sentence you speak of the atmosphere of fear in the US, and in the next, you say that when people criticize the administration, sometimes they're told they're "wrong."

Now if being told that you're wrong makes you fearful, please tell me how you summon the courage to cross the street.

Like hell you do! I seem to recall you just has the venomous, odious, repulsive John Howard sElected against the will of almost the entire electorate. Again, all the polls and the predictions of the smartest people in the media "mysteriously" disagreed with the numbers that came out of the voting machines -- coincidence?! What a JOKE!

You were robbed. You bent over and took it like the good little piggy you are. Fool.


Bostonian: If you can't sense the iron fist within the velvet glove of pseudo-"tactful" White House derision, if you can't see where it's leading (and soon), I'm tempted to feel sorry for you... but really, let's be honest: When one day you see things clearly and try to speak out, you'll suddenly find yourself abused and brutally silenced, and I won't feel sorry for you at all. Those of us who saw it coming have tried to warn you. Some of us are perceptive and sensitive enough to see clearly where the Killer Chimp is dragging this hideously wounded nation -- dragging it away to die, dragging it to his stinking cave to devour at his leisure... If you choose not to listen now, you'll deserve everything you get.

Do you really live in Boston? That might explain it. Boston, blue center of a blue state in a blue region, hasn't gotten quite so bad just yet. It's unlikely that anybody you personally know has been "vanished" -- yet. I'm sure much of the violent intimidation has passed you by. So far.

"Smart Media" is an oxymoron. In any event, Bush was leading in most polls for weeks - no mystery there. In fact the state-by-state voting pattern was nearly identical to the election in 2000 - what a coincidence.

I'm from Liverpool in the north west of England and Donard sounds like a typical London Guardian reading prick. His comments about seeing no differnce between Stalin's USSR and modern USA was so stupid I wish I had a time machine to send him back to Stalin. A spell in the salt mines might do him good.

He is no more representative of true Brits- the 'silent majority' you all know them in the USA and here in Australia, they saw and understood George Walker Bush for the MAN AND LEADER HE IS & re-elected HIM and our John Howard.

Total, slam-dunk ignorance again. Voting machines? Here in Oz we use the good 'ol 19th century method - slips of paper and short kiddie 1B pencils, always blunt or broken. Works a treat.

The polls always predicted a Howard win. Still, out-to-lunch-box admits being a Guardian reader, so we know here he gets his depressed views on life. Might as well read Pravda.

Apropos the recent complaints about British dentisty, I've visited the UK. What disgusted me was that rarely do Neesdie Folk (tm) close their mouths when breathing (or eating). Doesn't anyone in Britain know what a nose is for?

If it was possible to have another son, I'd name him "Donard". "What ho, Donard..." Smashing name. Anyway, I used to travel in the UK a lot, until I decided that I had more chance of being attacked and robbed there, even in the "country", than in any major U.S. city at any time of day, or maybe just attacked for the fun of it.

The average Brit street punk with or without his NHS required injections of testosterone was no match, but it wasn't fun there anymore. Old and New Labor's pacification of Britain rendered the law-abiding helpless and encouraged The Savage. Much like Europe's approach to terrorism. The signposts to decline are everywhere.

The nefarious Thatcher gave them a glimpse of sunlight (and I know all the arguments against her), and they closed the curtains on her. The country is shabby, rude, pretentious and dependent upon Theme Parkization to have any relevance at all.

This is sad. I used to like them a lot.

Posted by: Gannymede at November 5, 2004 at 10:49 AM

Well, say what you want about the Denards and the Mirror headline stuff. Europe is infected with these stupid little rugrats. But countries like Britain and Australia have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the US. Neither country has told us to take a hike when the going gets tough and young men have to take to the field in anger. Both countries summon the politcal will to say yes and find the young men to shoulder the burden. You can't say that for Canada. Can't say that for Spain. Can't say that for Italy, Greece or Turkey. In the 1986(?) attack on Libya, those bombers that supplemented the strike fighters from the carriers came from----Britain. No other country would even allow overflight rights. But out of Britain they came. Thatcher never waivered. So rip these little clowns all you want, Britain has always been there. They may not like us but they always support us. Just a YoJimbo thought, for whatever its worth.

Posted by: vinny at November 5, 2004 at 11:17 AM

Gannymede. I wouldn't argue with the "not yet" but I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt. I was in Britain at that time and the Brits were not only getting hit with the IRA but also terrorist activity. It was like a fortress over there. They even took my camera apart as I checked in for my flight. All of the Euroweenies were scarred to death of terrorist activity at that time but Thatcher still understood and pulled the trigger. Blair is about 180 degrees from her, but he to understands the need to confront terrorism. Until that changes I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Neither Britain nor Australia is in Iraq for simply crass commercial reasons. You darn straight can't say that about the prior activities of a France, Germany,Russia.China or UN.

Randal, thanks for the link to the DU thread. I had a peek and it was like watching a cageful of angry rats tearing each other apart.

One guy (``geek tragedy'') suggests that the Democrats need something more than ``Nyaah! Bush sucks!'' to get people to vote for them, and the rest of 'em turn on him and start screeching abuse and calling him stuff I wouldn't type on a keyboard. And then they talk about how filled with hate the ``Rethugs'' are. If they'd all been physically in the same room ``geek tragedy'' would probably be in the hospital now with multiple broken bones. Jesus.

Hillary Clinton will be orgasmic.

This will give her an oppertunity to repudiate MM and appear to be a patriotic centerist. Clinton did something similar and it worked like a charm. Americans hate MM, and to see him given a public set-down by his hero, will endear her to the entire country for quite some time.

And by the way, is it just me or does MM have a second thumb protruding from his palm?

Posted by: Eliza at November 5, 2004 at 12:11 PM

Gawd, that DU thread is hilarious, thanks for the link Randal. "geek tragedy" suggests that maybe Mikey Moore's approach to the election wasn't exactly the smartest choice for the Dems to take up, and everyone piles up on him with "NOOOOOOOO!!!! Michael Moore is a great man! We blame Kerry for not winning the election!" type of posts. Plus plenty of people whining about the "right-wing media" and how they can't get their message out. Friggin' awesome. All head-in-the-sand and absolutely zero introspective analysis. Whatever happened to "Why do they hate us?" Guess they don't consider the question valid when it comes to their own actions.

Mikey should just go ahead and officially declare himself a cult leader. He's got the blind followers in spades.
