And the stupid post of the day award goes to...

So, using your illogic then, if the janitor cleans EXTREMELY well, he'll make it to the top! Let's see, baseball players, "play" all day with bodies that are well-equipped to do so and get paid millions while working only six months a year. But most everyone else works their fingers to the bone, battles other commuters to and fro, and won't get any more money next year than this year. Hmmm. All that hard work and it's not paying off for them. They must be, as you insist, LAZY. Yeah, that makes sense.

Michael Moore is not a joke. Can you name anyone else who is standing up for you? Certainly not your representatives. Is he rich? Yeah, good for him! That certainly doesn't make him a hypocrite, just someone the right wing is jealous of. Is Ann Coulter wealthy? I'll bet she is, but has she done ANYTHING for anyone other than herself?

The hatred for Michael Moore is irrational. Not one person has ever truly developed a bona fide reason to hate him, in my opinion. Lies abound everywhere about him because he is the biggest and most visible threat to the status quo. Why is he the one whose "lies" are attacked while Beck & Hannity et al are untouched? A lie is a lie, it doesn't have a party attached to it. Why the double standard? If Moore were to be killed, there would be an outpouring of support for the one(s) who replace(s) him. That's probably why he's still alive, it's better to keep your enemies to a minimum and slander them at every turn.

You insult every American when you define most of them as lazy. Clearly you are unfamiliar with the real world.

Michael Moore is not smart. What smart person releases a movie that is anti-capitalism and then charges people to see the movie? If he walked his talk, he would have shown the movie for free.

No, you are not smart because your premise is boilerplate Fox news hogwash. He is not anti-capitalism and he has addressed that question in interview after interview. He prefers capitalism where the common people get to have their say in the matter. Right now, you and I are powerless in the scheme of things. The movie required capital to be able to do the necessary stealth research on such an important topic. If it were a campaign, I would have donated. The producers of the film would not get involved if they couldn't share in some profit, so he had to charge people to see it. He DID (as far as I know) make the initial screenings in some particularly hard hit cities completely free to the public. Name one other movie-maker who does something like that.

Oh, and even if the movie were free, there are still legions of ignorant people who would choose not to go out of dislike for the man. Forget the fact that those same ignorant peoples' money is what the movie is all about.

Duh! He is a rank hypocrite. The man is a walking talking heart attack waiting to happen because he lives an unhealthy lifestyle yet he feels comfortable making a documentary titled "Sicko". People like Michael Moore contribute to escalating health care costs in the United States. He made this movie so he could make money to continue to lead his unhealthy lifestyle. He is capitalism gone to the extreme in my opinion. Michael Moore is laughing all the way to the bank.

Kind of strange that you are put off by his confronting actual thugs.

So true capitalism is only had by stealing and cheating...lolol..
Thats funny....why..Cause I am pretty well off person who never cheat anyone....I used what this country offers that you libs seem to want to change and thats..........Capitialism....Your socialist policies that you so badly want to implement are the policies of failure..socialism is failure.........."Only problem with Socialism is...Sooner or later you run out of OTHER peoples money".....Let me tell you something..In this country...you get what you put into it..You dont want to become rich..you will not!
Instead of crying all the time about capitalism....get your azz up and go make so $$$$$ !

My gripe is what I stated....M.M. talks alot of B.S. while making $$$, then it always seems to be his movies are B.S. lies in the end.

Michael Moore does not contribute to escalating health care costs because he's rich enough to afford his own health care at no cost to you. It's the people who can't afford the health care AND who don't lead healthy lives you should be screaming at for they cost each of us dearly. He made Sicko to vocalize what those with and without health insurance go through, none of which makes our country look so great. Please cite your source that says his motivation is to continue to lead an unhealthy lifestyle. I'd love to hear that one. Seems to me you don't like the guy because he's fat. Nothing else in your post has any basis in reality.

Michael Moore could be easily bankrupted and depending on my tax dollars to pay for his health care in the future.

Deception; Desperate Right Wing Attacks on Fahrenheit 9/11

If this keeps up, Michael Moore is going to have to start paying me. Every week, in the face of more and more Americans being awoken to the truth, we see more and more desperate tactics by the right to try and smear Fahrenheit 911. Initially, Christopher Hitchens was dispatched with hatchet in hand. The thought process was that because once upon a time he was a left leaning person, he would be above reproach. Unfortunately, his “review” was an exercise in excess, with very little substance.

"You libs" is a telling reference to the type of person you are. The liberals are not overtly demanding socialism but do want some sort of equality, some sort of fairer distribution of wealth. Call it socialism if you want, but our government is responsible for its development in our country, not the "libs" you apparently demonize. You, on the other hand, accept that some will have way too much and many others won't have enough. Most people can't accept that. I agree in a sense that you get out what you put into something, but clearly our educational system is not producing entrepreneurs and innovators. It produces worker bees that don't question much of anything. The hard-work-will-get-you-somewhere mantra falls short when applied to the real world.

As far as MM talking BS, please be specific. I hear so many put downs but never get any facts.
