Michael Moore Withholding Information
Michael Moore hates America. Michael Moore is a clever liar, distorting and bending a grain of truth, in a sea of lies, to meet his political, self serving and money making agendas. Please see Michael Moore for what he really is: a fat, insecure, self-serving, liberal, left-wing, America hating loser.
Michael Moore Withholding Information
Matt Lauer from Dateline confronted Michael Moore about why he did not release images of abuse of prisoners that he had long before the photos from Abu Ghraib came out. Moore ducked and deflected as nimbly as an out-of-shape fat man can, which is to say, not at all.
Moore said that when the photos did come out, it was being treated in a “tabloid” and “s&m” way and so he said he decided to release the images he had in his “context,” which is to say, in his movie. Lauer asked why he didn’t release the images earlier—the implication being that he could have stopped further abuse against the Iraqi prisoners. Moore said, to whom? Lauer said, to the government. Moore shook his head. OK, Lauer said, then why didn’t you break the story? How, asked Moore, I don’t have a TV show. You could have come to us, Lauer said, and we would have shown the story. Moore said he doesn’t trust big media. He said he would have been accused of pulling a publicity stunt for his movie.
Oh, no one would ever accuse Moore of that!
It’s crap. If he really cares about the Iraqi people, Michael Moore would have done something. But he didn’t. He cares about his bank account. What a fat bastard.

Fahrenheit 9/11 & The Democrats
PACs are federally regulated entities that allow businesses, organizations, or groups of concerned citizens to contribute money to candidates. By law, business and organizations are not allowed to contribute directly to candidates, but through the formation of a federally regulated PAC, they can do so.
Under the laws of the Federal Election Commission, candidates for federal office may accept contributions from an individual totaling up to $2,000 per election. Contributions or gifts to any of the candidates are not deductible as charitable gifts for federal income tax purposes. PACs can accept individual contributions of up to $5,000 per calendar to support ongoing efforts.
About a year ago, the Democrats realized that supporting the soft money ban was a mistake. They began setting up organizations that might be able to legally raise and spend large donations to defeat President Bush. The financier George Soros gave over $10 million to the cause, and the leaders of these soft money fronts began talking confidently of the potential to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
Once again McCain-Feingold tripped them up. The law had made it a crime to use large soft money donations to pay for political ads that mentioned the name of a candidate for federal office 60 days before a general election (and 30 days before a primary). The Democratic groups could still run the ads, but they had to raise the money within federal contribution limits. Of course, the groups existed for the purpose of raising large donations well beyond federal limits.
Recently, the Federal Election Commission ruled that the Democratic front groups could not spend the money they had raised on ads that mentioned only President Bush. The groups may find a way around the ruling, but they hardly needed the headache. Congressional Democrats must be wondering what they were thinking when they voted for McCain-Feingold.
Well, Michael Moore and MoveOn PAC have teamed up and figured out a way around the law: DVD advertising. Think about it, the elections are five months from now. After a succesful run of a couple of months in the theaters, Michael Moore’s F911 will be headed for DVD. So, after using their clout now to make sure that Moore’s film is as popular as possible, MoveOn has set up the market for the DVD release. And when, gentle reader, do you suppose the commercials for the DVD are going to be broadcast? Right before the election.
Every night we’re going to be bombarded for commercials for Mikey’s DVD. They’re going to show Bush in the worst light possible, craftily edited as Moore is known to do. And this falls totally outside the scope of McCain/Feingold. All Moore is doing is selling his product, not buying an issues ad, so he’s free to use Bush’s name and imagery as much as he likes in any manner he chooses.
Sneakily brilliant, isn’t it? I have wondered more than once why Michael Moore was blowing his wad releasing the movie so many months before the election. Well now I know.
In the hands of other directors, the content could easily feel exploitative. But Moore is grounded by a patriotism that rings through every frame of the film. Compassion and love of country give the film its striking authenticity: it’s clear that what stings most about the President’s behavior, for the subjects of the film, is Bush’s betrayal of our country’s soul. Patriotism and love of country? This is the same Michael Moore who, when a Japanese interviewer commented that he didn’t seem to like the US, replied, “I like America to some extent.” This is the same Michael Moore who remarked to an English newspaper that Americans were “the dumbest people on the planet,” and wrote of his fellow citizens in an open letter to German fans, “Should such an ignorant people lead the world?”
Let’s recap. Michael Moore thinks Americans are the dumbest people in the planet, who are too ignorant to lead the world, and when directly asked stated that he liked America “somewhat.” And this is a man grounded by patriotism and love of country? Only someone stupid enough to believe Michael Moore’s lies could actually believe him to be a patriot.
The DNC has worked out a deal with the distributor of left-wing extremist Michael Moore’s new anti-Bush film that will ensure more than a half-million DVD copies of the film will be distributed nationwide in October 2004, just a month before the general election.
The unprecedented deal, in which the DNC will pay essentially a wholesale price for the DVD. “This could be a huge boost for our grassroots,” says a DNC furndraiser. “We have such a network now of folks getting together on a local basis that the movie will give them a reason to gather, perhaps fundraise and certainly expand their circle of friends." Oh yeah, there’s no ties between the Democrats and Michael Moore’s film, is there?
