Michael Moore... unmitigated arrogance
« on: March 02, 2011, 05:29:11 PM »
Here's Michael Moore saying that "rich" people's money doesn't belong to them, but to all of us. 

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/03/02/moore_on_wealthy_peoples_money_thats_not_theirs_thats_a_national_resource_its_ours.html

I say we start by taking away all his money.  But of course he wasn't talking about *his* wealth.  Just "their" wealth.

The Polite part of this forum's title prevents me from saying what I really think about MM.........

Thanks a lot. My head hurts now.

There's nothing about MM that a carefully applied Louisville Slugger wouldn't solve.

Naaa...  Micheal's money is his.  He earned it so he should keep it.

Now, the AIR he breathes, that IS a national resource.  >:D

If I could get all that $$$$ I'd use it to pay someone who could make good on a promise I'd never have to hear anything by, or about, Michael Moore ever again. :facepalm: [barf] [barf]

I had an idea for a funny bit.  Someone should back an armored truck up to Micheal Moore's house and demand he start forking over the money for redistribution.  Film it Charley and Me style.  Let the sound bites write themselves....  :laugh:

He deserves a serious wet blanket party- I will be there.

While you are raiding him, you can stop by Charlie Sheen's place and grab the cash and the goddess's.

Wet blanket party?  You mean sock party, right?  You know, like in "Full Metal Jacket"...

Somebody here in the Mitten has already thought of using his Torch Lake "cabin" for summer vacation:

Pack up the car everyone, we're spending the summer at Michael Moore's pad on Torch Lake!

So Moore's a hypocrite for taking subsidies. So now that he advocates the collectivization of millionaires' property such as his own, all Michiganders can enjoy the fruits of their investment in his film. And the next time you're in New York, crash at his Park Avenue address. If that suite is occupied, then Moore also has a place on West 83rd Street. Help yourself.

He's selling his "hate the rich" message in Madison, WI to fellow travellers:

Quote
"The country is awash in wealth and cash," he said. "It's just not in your hands."

He said wealth has been transferred "in the greatest heist in history" from the workers to the bankers and the super-rich.

Michael's business model is amazing and needs to be imitated.

"Tell your fellow-travelers what they already believe in a way that seems that they're having them confirmed by an outside source. Charge money."
Destroy The Enemy in Hand-to-Hand Combat.

"...tradition and custom becomes intertwined and are a strong coercion which directs the society upon fixed lines, and strangles liberty. " ~ William Graham Sumner

I see a documentary titled  " Hypocrisy"    MM and his houses, bank accounts, Mr. Warmed Over with his energy eating mansion, etc. The various gun carrying politicians on the anti bandwagon.....
 

I was having a fantasy the other day about hitting the lottery and bankrolling it!  Can't forget Mister President, and the millions he makes off his books that just keep coming out.....He's also all about hating the rich, but man he's sure taking advantage of his position to get rich.
