Michael Moore endorses Obama, chides Clinton

39 minutes ago

Michael Moore wants voters in Pennsylvania to cast their ballots for Barack Obama.

Moore endorsed Obama in a 1,100-word posting on his Web site Monday. It includes praise for the Illinois senator and harsh words for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic Party and the Bush administration.

Lamenting the lack of a valid primary in his home state of Michigan, Moore writes that Obama's experience and voting record aren't as important as his "basic decency" and ability to inspire.

"What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change," Moore writes. "My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate."

The 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker was hardly as kind to Clinton.

"Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting," he writes, saying that she has tried to "smear" Obama — "Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity."

Most of Moore's ire is directed at the Bush administration "and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world."

"I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for eight long years," he writes. "That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters — that big 'D' on the ballot."

No, Michael, you were born senseless.

Moore is the perfect example of a “mass public movement”.

Or, as they say in the old country, about Moore, “Who gives a shit?”

Do you ever worry about permanent, irreversible damage that you have done to your own body?

No kidding.

I find it disturbing how such a nasty scumbag expects people to listen to him. Especially after his recent glamorizing of Communism.

Talk about a vile, narcissist...

The funny thing is that he treats employees worse than any of the corporation that he demonizes. Also, I recall a thread on FR that proved his website is not even hosted in the US. He is a bloated hypocrite who enjoys the fruits of capitalism whilst decrying it. Like Algore with a much slower metabolism (about as slow as a three-toed sloth).

A blowfish with a hat and glasses. Once caught one like that. Had to throw him back. Too ugly to keep in the boat, and had a real nasty attitude, to boot.
