Even though you endlessly deride Micheal Moore, has anyone here actually watched Farenheit 9/11?

I mean I haven't ever watched it all the way through. I usually just put a plastic bag over my head filled with airplane glue, choke myself and rub one out looking at that big bear Micheal Moore/ Sometimes I barely get the bag off in time or I'd suffocate.

While I am at it, I wear my mom's pumps and stockings. She usually hits me after finding out but that's part of the thrill!

Micheal Moore is a genius and he knows how to heal america

These impersonated comments are telling me a lot about the subconscious desires of repressed conservatives.

Brokeback Mountain really helped me come to terms with my sexuality.

The Catholic Church, having much of an influence over its flock at the polls? Not so much - from the number of Obama '08 bumperstickers we had (and still have) in our parish parking lot.

Aquatarkus sure has a wicked crush on Michael Moore. Is it the ginormous man-boobs?

Even though you endlessly deride Micheal Moore, has anyone here actually watched Farenheit 9/11?

Yes, troll. I have.

Downfall was number 30? How did that make the list? Unlike most of the others, it was a good movie, and it depicts the end game of what happens when two statist-collectivist societies interact. I guess they consider it a great tragedy maybe.

Also not on the list "The Lives of Others."

I see the critic connects the dots and concludes that Abu Ghraib begat Saw. What a douche.

There were some good films on that list, but Fahrenheit 911 the top film of the decade? Don't think so.

Will pig obama visit hiroshima and accuse america of cimmiting a war crime? WHY DONT HE VISIT PEARL HARBOR

Why do I give a crap what this limey critic thinks? Not wasting time with his list.

The Jappanese were also working on the A-bomb. Germany had built a detonator for them (Delivery was prevented by the fall of the Reich) and they would probably had delivered it by submarine to Pearl or San Francisco harbor.

Both cities manufactured war materials and held military facilities.

Operation Downfall (The invasion of Japan) would have resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 in the first week.

Rape of Nanking.

Bataan death march.

Starvation and beatings of prisoners of war. Read Boyiington's account of life in a Japanese prison camp, espesially the part where several solders got drunk after the surrender and decided to MURDER the prisoners.

Cry me a freaking river, Japan.

Hey!!! Inflatable girlfriends aren't the same as imaginary ones!

You have a blow-up doll too? I have a bunch of 'em.

I watch Farenheit 9/11 with mine all the time!

Needless to say, the 12:28 post is the lame name-highjacker at "work", saving the world from liberals. Pathetic, as usual.

No, it was really me. Why deny it? I shouldn't have to hide who I am from you judgmental creeps. I love latex ladies and I am proud of it.

It's pretty obvious that I'm a thorn in the side for some of you. I try to stay calm and reasonable, I never use profanity, I try to back up my points with links and with logical, reasoned argument. I also use mockery, mainly because it's the best response to some of the over-the-top stuff that gets posted here.

Of course, the self-righteous right hates being laughed at and many simply don't understand satire. Those who are unable to refute what I say are utterly freaked out by this. If they don't have a handy talking point they got spoon-fed from Fox or Rush, they start to lose it. So they resort to the only tactics they know. They call me profane names or they highjack my name to try to discredit me.

Regulars here, familiar with my usual discourse, can detect quite quickly whenever my name has been ripped off. Note the latest attempts at 12:28 and 12:54 here. To their credit, some on the right have denounced name highjacking and I appreciate it.

It would be quite simple for me to revert back to "anonymous", but I am willing to take responsibility for the opinions I post here and to be legitimately held to account if I stray from the facts.

As you can see, I had not even contributed to this thread and still someone highjacked my name. This is happening fairly often and I don't read or contribute to every thread. Bear that in mind if "Lao" seems to say something that feels "off".

I just want attention. Don't you guys understand? LOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE!

Actually, ignore the highjacker and look at these instead.

re; Lynn Woolsey: "That'll do donkey, that'll do . . .

From the "Fahrenheit 9/11" blurb:

Criticism that Moore played fast and loose with his facts misses the point. He’s an old-fashioned circus barker. He trades in passion not science. But these days, when Tony Blair gets dubbed a “war criminal” and when the US economy is still ailing after the trillions squandered in the Middle East, the questions he asks look like patriotism rather than treachery.

If the "questions he asks" are so wonderful then why does he need to "play fast and loose with the facts?" Because, of course, the facts may not portray GWB as the essence of evil that Moore and the moonbat left believe him to be. He "trades in passion, not science," yet he portrays his fictionalized tripe as fact, as though his left-liberal diatribe is in fact a documentary, which it is not. This misrepresentation is deliberate and orchestrated to create a false perception of GWB and his government.

The shame of it is that W offered plenty of legitimate things to gripe about without resorting to falsehoods. The left is in such a habit of deception and misdirection that they just can't help themselves, even when the plain unvarnished truth would serve their ends just as well.

I also liked the "journalists'" assumptions that 1) the war in the Middle East caused our economic problems; and 2) that the idiots in government wouldn't have blown all that money on something else anyway. But of course, the statist assumption is that wealth flows from government rather than the people, so in their so-called minds the government would have simply not extorted as much, or rather, "allowed the people to keep more." Bah. It still looks like treachery to me.

Of course Micheal Moore's films are essentially Liberal propaganda, it just happens that his films are far more thought-provoking and contain things which are largely true and have a basis in reality, unlike Conservative propaganda, which rely entirely on fear.

If your healthcare ‘industry’ is anything like the picture he painted in Sicko, then goddamn, you guys are nasty fuckers...

There was a quite funny bit in Sicko where Moore talks to a couple who have just had a baby an NHS hospital, and he asks “Are you going to pay for that?”, “No, it's free here”, “WHAT?!”

"Aquatarkus at November 11, 2009 7:29 PM"

At least 80% of the medical advancements were invented by us "nasty fuckers" and our "system of greed".

Nastier than your f***s? How could anything be nastier than your muslim "husband", clogging up your drain? On second thought, don't go there. Really don't want to hear what else Iqbal does to you poop-chute.

Wow, projection...

You got a "projection" from reading that? You sick little monkey.

You're into monkeys now?
Damn, you have problems.

" the questions he asks look like patriotism rather than treachery."
Oh yeah, a guy who regularly bashes his own people overseas (i.e. in an interview in Britain, referring to Americans as "The dumbest people on the planet," and his speaking engagements abroad regularly having him say "The dumbest [Whatever nationality he's pandering to] here is smarter than the smartest American.") is a REAL patriot, all right.
" He "trades in passion, not science," yet he portrays his fictionalized tripe as fact, as though his left-liberal diatribe is in fact a documentary, which it is not. This misrepresentation is deliberate and orchestrated to create a false perception of GWB and his government."
Not only that, Coder, but if anyone dares to call him out for how often he perverts the facts or flat- out lies in any of his films, his standard debating tactic is to accuse the critic in question of being part of a conspiracy to discredit him by whatever person or industry is portrayed as the villain of the film in question.
" it just happens that his films are far more thought-provoking and contain things which are largely true and have a basis in reality, unlike Conservative propaganda, which rely entirely on fear."
Oh, PLEASE, Aqua. First, I can count as least 8- 10 things in 'Roger and Me' alone which were either blatant falsehoods, or just demonstrations of Moore's knack for extremely dishonest and unethical filmmaking tactics. Plus, you don't think his films rely entirely on fear? "Roger and Me" was all about making his audience afraid of big corporations and the evil corporate boogeymen who run them taking away jobs. "Bowling for Columbine" was all about making his audience afraid of the NRA and any citizen who legally owned a gun. "Fahrenheit 9/11" was all about making his audience afraid of Bush, and MORE evil corporate boogeymen. "Sicko" was all about making his audience afraid of anyone involved with the American Health Care system while praising Socialized medicine (Never mind the fact that such countries' health care systems, like Canada's, tend to be the laughingstock of the entire world due to their inefficiency). "Capitalism: A Love Story" is all about making his audience AGAIN afraid of evil corporate boogeymen. Fear, hate- mongering, and shallow emotional appeals are all that lying, ultra- hypocritical sack of whale blubber has to offer.

Adam:

What's your point?
He's making people afraid of things which can actually harm them, like big business, the 2nd amendment, incompetent politicians and the fucked up American healthcare/insurance system.

If Moore was a Conservative, he was be making films about his totally irrational hatred of Muslims or gays or environmentalists.

Bowling for Columbine was a really interesting film, as was Sicko.

That's the wonderful thing about freedom of speech.
You've got your propaganda and I've got mine.
(Even if you're too proud to admit it)

You have FOX, I have Micheal Moore.
You have Diversity Lane, I have a good cartoon.

"He's making people afraid of things which can actually harm them, like big business, the 2nd amendment,"
So, you think the 2nd Amendment is a bad thing? I don't own any guns myself, but even I would admit I'm glad people like you are not in the White House right now. Obama may be a liberal stooge, but even he would have more sanity than to say something like that. Never mind that most gun violence in the US is done by guns which were illegally owned in the first place (i.e. For the murder of the little girl in the movie, the boy who killed her had stolen the gun in question from his crack- dealer uncle, who had himself illegally received the gun in exchange for some drugs he gave a guy).
"he was be making films about his totally irrational hatred of Muslims"
Oh, so being paranoid about corporations and the idea of gun ownership is a- ok, but hating radical Islam is irrational? You're going to say this, a WEEK after a Muslim radical shot up Fort Hood, and just a few weeks after another radical Muslim ran over his teenage daughter in an "Honor killing" because he thought she was becoming too Westernized?
"Bowling for Columbine was a really interesting film,"
It was also a complete crock of a film with more holes than Swiss cheese. I could list a few of them, if you want.

P.S. Aqua, Moore may hate big businesses (Though he doesn't mind getting rich off of them, as he owns thousands of shares of stock in numerous companies he demonized in his films, such as Halliburton and several pharmaceutical companies), but he also apparently hates small businesses, too. In a speech he gave to a college in California, he at one point said, "F^^k all these small businesses, f^^k 'em all, we need to bring in the chains...Small business people are the rednecks who run the towns and suppress teh people. F^^k 'em."

Just say fuck for fucks sake.

Also, that quote is either bullshit or he was joking and you have no sense of humour.

You know what? I don't even care if Micheal Moore is really a bastard in real life, I still find his films entertaining.

Ritchie Blackmore is a complete twat, but that doesn't mean he isn't a brilliant guitarist.

"Just say f^^k for fu^^s sake."
No. I am an aspiring pastor, and am trying to follow the Biblical call to "Let no foul communication proceed from your mouth" (Or, in this case, my keyboard).

"Also, that quote is either bullshit or he was joking and you have no sense of humour."
1. The quote is legit, delivered at Humboldt State University.
2. He was being serious. As a broader context, he started out in the speech on some rant over how angry he was about how the town where he was giving the speech, Arcata, had a pending legal restriction that there could be no more than nine chain restaurants in the area, in the interest of protecting small businesses (Michael Moore, champion of the little guy, siding with corporate interests against small businesses? Say it ain't so!). He then segues from this into a rant on how all the small business owners in his hometown are all those evil rich Republicans, which then leads into the charming and eloquent comment of his that I posted earlier.

Kind of like how all of the Christians in my town are self-righteous morons.

Everyone knows that Micheal Moore isn't the wittiest, most eloquent guy on America, but you have no evidence to assume there is a causal relationship between swearing and being stupid.
