Michael Moore confirms Clint Eastwood once threatened to 'kill' him at awards ceremony
New York Daily News ^ | 01/30/2015 | BY ETHAN SACKS

Left-leaning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has come under fire from conservatives over his criticism of "American Sniper," but it turns out his cold war with the biopic's director, Clint Eastwood, started ten years earlier.

Moore took to Facebook to confirm a report on Salon that Eastwood had threatened to shoot him during the 2005 National Board of Review dinner. Moore had been in attendance to receive an award for his scathing indictment of the Bush administration, "Fahrenheit 9/11," while Eastwood was being honored for "Million Dollar Baby."

"Ten years ago this past week, Clint Eastwood stood in front of the National Board of Review awards dinner and announced to me and to the crowd that he would "kill" me if I ever came to his house with my camera for an interview," Moore wrote on his Facebook page late Thursday about the Jan. 11, 2005, incident.

"'I'll kill you," Eastwood declared, according to the post.

From High Plains Drifter. "I knew you were cruel, but I didn't know how far you would go."
Eastwood: "You still don't."

I think the crazy commie white boys are losing it as their boy Barry’s second term comes to an end. Who are they going to fantasize about when Barry is gone?

Dear Michael:
Can you die from constipation?

I’m a little concerned with how full of Shiite you are.

Sincerely,

I don’t actually care....

Payback is a bitch. Especially for pigs like Moore.

“Left-leaning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore”

Left-LEANING? That’s like saying Bill Maher is “a little bit” irritating.

Also, leave it to Moore to take an obvious joke and try to play the victim role with it.

Too bad he doesn’t still have that orangutan with him. Mikey could sure use a “Right turn, Clyde!”

Guess Moore doesn’t like boundaries except for other people.

We're suppose to feel sorry for a 450 pound multimillionaire with his seven mansions and a platoon of armed body guards? Soooooo creepy.

"Michael, come admire my view!"

Me,years ago,about one of my kids——— “He’s at it again,I’m going to kill him”.

Most of us have said it-—many times.

Moore definitely has mental problems.
