Michael Moore Tries to Out-Church Sean Hannity
US News & World Report ^ | October 07, 2009 | Dan Gilgoff

Promoting Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore is beating the drum of his Catholicism in a way that he hasn't previously. Check out this clip from Moore's appearance last night on Sean Hannity's TV show.

When Hannity suggests possible political labels for Moore, the filmmaker responds: "Christian." Then Moore quizzes the Fox News host, a fellow Catholic, on the last time he's been to mass. Trying to out-church him, Moore implies that Hannity is fibbing about having attended mass last weekend.

It's no accident that Moore's new openness about his religious faith is coming now, after the Democratic Party has spent five years urging its members to speak up about their faith to combat the conventional wisdom that the GOP is more religion-friendly. That campaign has spilled over to the broader liberal movement in a big way. But if Moore, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi are all spokespeople for the left's faith-friendliness, where's the national leader of the left's fast-growing secular wing?

Getting all ‘churchy’ is the latest facade. Notice all the libtards quoting scripture before Zero’s elections? Sarandon’s “Jesus was a community organizer” crap, etc., etc.

Sorry. I’m not going to watch. Michael Moore is a buffoon, and Hannity turns himself into one too by giving Moore a platform.

Yeah Michael Moore is about as Christian as Barack Obama. Always good to label your brand of leftist crap with a theological label

I actually find it funny. Ask a lib who in the Bible said "And ye shall be like gods." The responses are quite laughable.

The only fragment of Scripture most lefties have memorized is “Judge not lest ye be judged”.

I’m not sure that Michael Moore is on board with all the moral teachings of the Church (what rabid Democrats are?). I do believe Hannity has also said some rather unsound things on artifical contraception...

And most of them think “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is gospel.

Michael Moore I have an idea for you. Make a movie showing how wonderful religion is and counter Bill Maher’s Religulous.

Sloppy is being very nice. Hannity was made to look like a fool because he allowed Fat Bastard to derail the discussion and take control of it.

He heard about the free bread and wine.

Christianity is why the West cannot kick the socialist habit.

Christianity demonizes worldliness, riches, and achievement, while extolling deprivation, humiliation, and sacrifices for causes “greater than self.” Socialists take the Christians up on this and do so without hypocrisy.

McCain and Palin spent 2008 chanting “Country First.” The Democrats agreed, and are now nationalizing everything. There’s a book out there titled “Jesus Rode a Donkey” — on the economic issues, I don’t have a counter-reply. Republicans sympathetic to freedom act as if Jesus refused the cross, proclaiming “hell no, go die for your own damn sins!”

Yup. Look forward to bigger and badder Marxists in our future. At least there is hope for the Indians and Chinese— the Hindus worship Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, while the Chinese now believe that “to get rich is glorious.”

Christianity is what made the West in the first place.

Moore actually made Hannity his stooge for the whole interview. Sometimes Sean is in over his little head and doesn’t know the right answers.

Hannity just doesn’t despise these creeps as much as they deserve, as much as he would if he truly understood what they are trying to do to this country.

Moore's Catholicism is the Liberation Theology form of Catholicism, the Jesus was a community organizer type. Actually, they consider the apostle, Paul to have been the best community organizer of all time. They don't believe that Jesus was the actual son of God, but a figural son of God, who was a great community organizer and teacher, not much different than the Muslim approach to Jesus.

If you recall, Barack Obama, in one of his religious apologia speeches, said that he believed that Jesus was the son of God, but that he didn't know about "all that supernatural stuff." He said that he didn't really believe in all that.

I saw the part of the Moore interview where he started asking Hannity about being a Catholic. Hannity turned it around and asked Moore if he was a socialist. Then he asked about Moore's net worth and whether, as a socialist, he thought that was fair. I didn't hear Moore's answer, but I did notice that Moore hesitated and couldn't answer right away.
