The Genius Of Michael Moore
It’s too early for this.
After a wonderful Thanksgiving, an unadulterated serving of Michael Moore is perhaps the biggest system shock possible. He is the antithesis of everything represented by Thanksgiving, manifested in human form.
We’re all aware of his incessant verbal diarrhea. The guy can’t help it. Get him started on anything related to politics, no matter how tenuous the link, and be prepared for an avalanche of anti-logic that even Rep. Alcee Hastings would struggle to match.
Moore’s latest political revolution is to have published an open letter to The One on his website, aiming to use his considerable sway with those millions of people who mistake his fictional movies for fact, and base their vote on that most firm of foundations.
I really don’t want to give his intellectual musings the oxygen of publicity, but I’ve rarely read such a prolonged brainfart. Usually when people commit sustained incoherency to paper, they tend to realize it through a process known as “proof-reading.” Then, having recognized the gibberish that they’d previously considered literary gold, they normally have the good sense to hit “delete.” But not Moore, who takes as much pride in the vitriolicness of his words as in their irrationality.
The letter reads like the ramblings of an angry toddler. It’s littered with inane talk of “corporate backers”, “haters” and the like, takes a swing at Obama as “We can’t take your caving in, over and over” (quite where he got that impression from I’ve no idea – health care? Cap’n'tax? Porkulous?), and, displaying the type of myopia common to all true believers, states that “When we elected you we didn’t expect miracles.” Rrrrrrright.
Best of all, though, is the race-baiting undercurrent that no Left-wing argument worth its salt ever lacks:
You would still be the victim of their incessant venom on hate radio and television because no matter what you do, you can’t change the one thing about yourself that sends them over the edge.
Real subtle, Moore. You might as well have followed that sentence with the Left’s unofficial motto, Because Republicans are RACIST, just to make it even more clear.
Incredibly, he then proves that he’s not only a titan of political philosophy, but also one of the foremost experts on terrorism, via his claim that,
I know you know that there are LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan!
I know that you know that I know that you know you’re full of it, Moore. Less than a hundred al-Qaeda terrorists left in Afghanistan? And he knows this how, exactly?
Oh, that’s right – facts do not matter in Bizarro world.
Moore rounds off his masterpiece by exhorting Obama to once again retreat, promising that if he does so, then,
You can be your mother’s son.
Which makes about as much sense as the preceding entirety of the letter. That right there is surely going to form the central plank of Obama’ssurrender-with-honor strategy, when it comes: we’re ditching Afghanistan, because “I want to be my mother’s son.” Flawless reasoning.
Democrats, your next presidential candidate awaits anointment.

Underneath all of his bluster is a very insecure little boy stomping his feet, shouting, “Look at me!”

I had no idea rattan was so strong.

Please, I’m begging you – don’t do that on a Monday morning. Write about the odious little prick all you want but please have a heart – no photos.
Whenever I see his face I’m reminded of a rat.

I’m with Kris. Please don’t do that again. Michael Moore is the biggest hypocrite of all time. He is the poster boy for capitalism: he was poor, he came up with an idea that has made him millions and given him a grand life. BUT, then he turns around and bites the hand that feeds him by dissing that which has enabled him to be successful. I’m so glad his movie tanked because it shows that capitalism works! Which also shows why the socialists in Hoolyweird despise it. I cannot stand to see pictures of the gluttonous pig, tho. He disgusts me.

Arby – same as with most of ‘em. If they had any confidence in their views, then they’d debate them sensibly.
RtofCentre – made me laugh. I’m fairly sure that the chair was put down after being used in this way.
Kris, skiri’ki – I’m sorry for inflicting the Moore monster on you without warning. Socialism is an ugly beast.

It’s a disease that needs to have one of Tipper’s warning stickers attached. You’re forgiven this time.

Hmmm…forgiven? I’m not so sure.
Can we just acknowledge that socialism indeed IS an ugly beast, using Michael Moore as the perfect illustration – then never physically showing the illustration again.
Please…

The thing that amazes me about this human metaphor of a swine is that when it comes to politics, his mind is so closed, I’m amazed his brian hasn’t been crushed beyond repair (or perhaps it has which explains a lot), or when it comes to openmindedness with evil that it’s so open that his brians haven’t fallen out (then again, perhaps it has which explaines a lot with this guy). Either case, this man has as much intellegence as the smartest man in the room. NONE other than what they’re deluted into believing what intellegence they’re been obiquiously been brown nosed into beliving. In other words, a long way of saying stupidity has been branded as briliance.
