LOL old Sudheer trying to blame Republicans for Moore's follies now? :laugh: :laugh:

Yep... The F 9/11 lies from Moore (as well as his 'creative' video editing) are all thoroughly and completely debunked.

Roger and Me was about GM leaving Flint. Basically, the rich got rich, left the town for dead.

Got rich off of the movie.

Proceeded to leave Flint - never coming back - never giving a penny to the poor in Flint.

He is so hated there now it is not even funny. If you are going to take up a cause, at least try to be somewhat behind it.

Hence, the guy is a loser and a hypocrite.

O RLY?
A simple google search turns up other sources for that as well.

as usual irwincur is dead wrong in his horrific ASSumptions.




He seems to be in a frenzy of dispensing misinformation tonight.

Or is he always like this?

He has a history of telling outright lies and then tucking tail and hiding from P&N for weeks.

Michael Moore is what he is, an opportunist looking to make money off peoples ignorance and willful ability to believe everything in the world is bad.

However, Moore is a man who makes bold statements and backs them up with research, fact, etc...you look pretty stupid if you call him a liar and hypocrite but can provide absolutely no hard evidence of this yourself.

My understanding is he never actually ever lived in Flint, but a much better off place right near it?

So says "Rebel Dog" from Tennessee. The civil war ended over a century ago.

It did? Seems like there is a huge racial divide in America. Oh the war .... yeah, you guys really wanted us back.

No idea what you mean here? Who didn't want you back? The "War" was heartbreaking for both sides. Brother fighting brother as Lincoln said.

It just seems like the South cannot live up to the great ideals of our constitution. When that happens then America will truly be united.

Is that why liberals from NY whine about leaving this great nation?

All I can say is that throughout Asia, Africa and South America what group has slaughtered, oppressed and killed the most? It is quite easy to see.

So the few millions the japanese killed in China and SE asia means nothing?
What about the millions killed by starvation by the communists in China by Chinese?
How about good old Pol Pot?
How about the purges in South Vietnam after the North won by Vietnamese?

I think your notion the white man has killed more people on Asia is quite sad and ignorant.

Now onto Africa, I watch those cival wars and dont see many Whites out there killing blacks wholesale?

Is this part of your self hate program going off again?

Is this attack part of your self hate program going off again as an attack on one who threatens your own self illusions? Notice that the person you go after will pay as much attention to you as you to me.

While Micheal Moore's first documentary was rather not factual at all, his second documentary was much better. His first documentary was rather poor and his name will suffer because of this.

If you cut the crap out of F 9/11 it would have been an great documentary; instead of a good one.

We all know about the civil war and it was gruesome. But your comments about the south are plain stupid. How is the south *right now* not living up to the constitution? Are you going to back that up?

As far as racial divide in concerned, I think that certain racial groups can get away with racism while others cannot. Its a double standard, but oh well.

Thats because you are close minded and do not realize the extent of white racism. We will get into this argument again and again. Its pointless.

All I can say is that throughout Asia, Africa and South America what group has slaughtered, oppressed and killed the most? It is quite easy to see.


The Mongols? Or were you thinking communists?

I have lived in Flint since I was 29 and my parents still live there. My dad just retired from GM. What you said there is crap.

Moore is paranoid; he sees conspiracies both where they are evident, and where they are not.

To accept everything that he says, and everything he implies is not a bright decision.

That being said, what he stands for is the constitution of the United States, liberty, privacy, and also more leftist (not liberal; it's the wrong word) ideals like helping people in need. I would say that ideologically, he is a great American.

Neither. I am just pointing out that you are hardly one who should be giving advice or criticizing someone about "logic" since it's obvious you have issues with it yourself as chronicled in that other thread.

Already went over this,

A. Dailykos is a joke of a site
B. They use their own opinions to discredit Kopel, where Kopel uses links and backs up his claim.

His own film, Bowling for Columbine is a good example of that. It seems the entire film was dedicated to the task of showing that violence in America is caused by our "gun-crazy" idealology and the NRA, but by the end of the film, he disproved that hypothesis and just kinda trailed off.

What he did at the Oscars was enough for me to be turned off by him. Also, the debunking of the bunk was junk. Only read a few but they made my head hurt.
