Michael Moore, a hypocritical union buster
Washington Times Water Cooler Blog ^ | 3-7-11 | Kerry Picket

For all of Mr. Moore’s pro-union bravado, writers who worked for him on the NBC television show TV Nation described the film director as more of a selfish union busting boss than anything else. The New Yorker interviewed former staff writers of Mr. Moore’s in 2004 who painted a picture of a merciless individual who is only acting out the role of a liberal savior for his fans in the public but behaves much differently in private:

I don’t think the Unions help their cause when Michael Moore and Jesse Jackson become their poster boys. If I were Governor Walker I would be making some TV Ads showing these guys along with those signs and thugs.

For the preservation of my own soul I have to consider him as just an entertainer, because otherwise he’s a huge asshole.

His former employees don't have a lot of good things to say about him...............

One of my favorite memories: during the Lewinsky scandal, Michael Moore placed a camera close to Lucianne Goldberg’s living room window in her NYC apartment - so the nation could see what she was doing. (Hypocrisy, you know!) The next day, Lucianne had blown up a huge, unattractive photo of Moore and taped it over the window. The camera came right down.

The irony of it all was the film focused on a six-day sit in by over 200 workers of Republic Windows and Doors in Chicago. How fitting that Mr. Moore's agent is the brother of former Obama White House Chief of Staff and now mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel,

The Communist Party's tentacles are far-reaching.

Could there really be any other kind of photo of Moore?

I think I understand.

Unions that steal from, make unreasonable demands of or attempt to intimidate “evil” conservative/republican-run corporations and conservative/republican individuals are GOOD.

Unions that steal from, make unreasonable demands of or attempt to intimidate “good” leftist/liberal-run corporations and leftist/liberal individuals are BAD/EVIL.

Got it!

One day while channel surfing I flipped across a marvelous documentary (made by Canadian Television of all places) that exposed Moore’s rampant hypocricy on virtually every subject.
(included some really fun footage of him running away from their interviewers, a la Roger) Wish I would have recorded it.
