This whole Michael Moore stuff is mindboggling. What a dope. Here's some stuff I dug up in just a few minutes:

Also some recent present sense impressions:
Who is this Jackass? Seriously, where did this guy come from? How can seemingly normal people be enraptured by a guy who consistently lies? Let's look at his body of work. Roger and Me: Lies, Bowling for Columbine: Lies, Farenheit 9/11: Lies (see mm's assertion that Bush let Saudi's fly out of the US after 9/11 - we now know that was solely authorized by Dick Clarke. Or his introduction of Iraq as a "soverign" nation, when even a 3rd grader knows you don't have a bunch of soverignty when you have no-fly zones for 10 years Hitchens article invaluable in deconstructing this wretched diatribe). Yeah, I can't wait to see his next film. How do people that saw his films respond to stuff this joker says about them? Do they even know? I doubt it. I remember after he won an Oscar for a lie filled muck-job, an article that shed light on the true Michael Moore. How he claims to be a common man, while jet-setting around the globe. Schlepping around unshaven and in sneakers, but always chauffered in a limo. What a joke. He's absolutely laughing all the way to the bank on the backs of people he calls, "the dumbest people of the planet." Maybe he's right, people are lining up to pay to see his schlock and some even believe it.
Dear Mr. Utah:
ReplyDeleteThe only thing less inspired than your adoption of Keanu Reeve's character's name from a third-rate surfing cum gangster movie as your blog name is your tired recitation of the right-wing party line on Michael Moore. Please come up with something original next time. I can get this kind of swill from Rush Limbaugh, if ever I can stomach it for more than ten consecutive seconds.
Actually, I was just fooling. This is my real comment:
ReplyDeleteI do find it interesting that Christopher Hitchens lambasted Moore because I think he is a pretty big left winger himself. Hitchens completely validates my point that Moore is nothing but a cheap shot artist and I think all he really has done is cynically exploit the misery and sadness of others for his own benefit. There's clearly not an ounce of sincerity in anything he does.
Plus, I do have to admit that I liked Point Break for the most part, despite Keanu Reeve's stupid name, right up to the point where he jumped out of the plane without a parachute to catch Bohdi. That was a little over the top. On the plus side, Johnny Utah was a quarterback at Ohio State, so he can't be all bad.
Here is an awesome extended Michael Moore bash from Weekly Standard:
