The Klan's Favorite Law David B. Kopel|Feb. 15, 2005 12:00 am If you believe everything that Michael Moore says in Bowling for Columbine and his books, then you would think that "pro-gun" people are white racists, and that "gun control" would be a wonderful way to help minorities. But a look at America's past reveals what historian Clayton Cramer has accurately called "The Racist Roots of Gun Control." After the Civil War, the defeated Southern states aimed to preserve slavery in fact if not in law. The states enacted Black Codes which barred the black freedmen from exercising basic civil...

Michael Moore is an elitist gun control zealot, but he has (or at least in 2005) a body guard who carries a gun. Why? Because he’s safer that way. Filmmaker Michael Moore’s (search) bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York’s JFK airport Wednesday night. Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with...

Michael Moore: Killing Is ‘Who We Are’ As Americans By Patrick Burke December 17, 2012 (CNSNews.com) – Liberal activist-filmmaker Michael Moore says school shootings like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. will continue – because “it’s who we are” as Americans. “I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America w/ genocide, then built it w/ slaves. The shootings will continue- it's who we are,” Moore tweeted on Sunday. Moore sent out several tweets regarding the school shooting between Friday and Sunday, at one point claiming the shooter “seemed to single out...

<p>Demi Moore's daughters have reportedly cut off contact with her once again.</p> <p>The 50-year-old actress is allegedly being given the cold shoulder by Rumer, 24, Scout, 21, and Tallulah, 18, just months after they reconciled following a bitter fallout.</p> <p>The trio, her daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis, have allegedly tired of her constant partying and erratic behaviour.</p>

DUmmies have a thread up about sending the names/numbers of reluctant Dem voters by text to Moore at the number above. Checked it out on Google and his site. Looks legit,

In his new movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore reviews the Bush administration’s publicly stated rationale for the war against terrorism in Afghanistan – it was part of the U.S. response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 – and then suggests that the real reason for the war was, at least in part, to enable Unocal to proceed with a natural gas pipeline project in Afghanistan and for other U.S. energy and oil-service companies to participate in various projects in that country. Unocal has absolutely no intention of participating in an Afghanistan pipeline project nor are we in discussions with...

Moore yesterday. More Moore today. Michael Moore got his start interviewing an empty chair (see picture above). So maybe he's mad at Clint Eastwood for stealing his shtick. But he hardly has room for calling Clint "delusional" and "detached from reality." (Come to think of it, Mike hardly has room. Period.) But hypocrisy has never stopped the Left. We know that's Clint's performance art, interviewing President Emptychair, must have really struck a nerve. And so they want to disparage his speech as "weird" and "bizarre," and dismiss Clint as a doddering old fool. But they know Eastwood exposed most...

I think people should start to practice the words "President Romney." What's Thicko up to these days? I mean, besides 350 pounds. What I mean to say is, What does leftist filmmaker Michael Moore think of the current presidential campaign? And what do his loyal followers, the denizens of the DUmp, make of Mike's take? Let's find out, shall we? To do so, we go to this THREAD, "Michael Moore: Romney will win in November," and this THREAD, "Michael Moore Predicts 'President Romney' in November." So now let us see if the DUmmies still like Mike, in Bowling-for-Bolshevik Red, while...

It’s starting to look that way. Even Michael Moore sees it. Moore told an interviewer this week: “I think people should start to practive the words President Romney.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4LaDFWD7O18

Tough times. So many close to me are enduring such hard times. Our beloved country is under attack from so many forces. We deal with so many issues, problems daily.... I merely wish to offer the gift of music to my fellow FReepers. Music is a gift from God. I'm a guitarist of over 40 years; music has gotten me through so much.... Sit back....crank up your speakers.....and listen to one of the most amazing live performances you will ever hear. This is my man, Gary Moore....live, in Stockholm, in 1987 playing "Empty Rooms". If you don't know Gary's work,...

Yes, a shameless plug for a new friend.

After walking a mile in Sarah Palin’s pumps, actress Julianne Moore has sympathy for the former Alaska governor. “I do think the situation that she was put in was a completely untenable one,” said Moore (far right), who matched the look of the one-time vice-presidential candidate (near right) — down to her trademark glasses — to play Sarah in the upcoming HBO movie “Game Change.” Palin burst onto the national scene when Sen. John McCain plucked her from Alaskan obscurity to be his running mate in 2008. The film, written by Danny Strong and co-starring Ed Harris as McCain, focuses...

Activist filmmaker Michael Moore levied a heavy charge at older Americans who didn’t vote for President Barack Obama in 2008: They’re racist.

Twice on Dec. 27, 2011, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., accused Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker of eliminating a cancer-screening program for low-income women. "Scott Walker cuts cancer screenings for uninsured women, offers no alternatives," read Moore’s first statement on Twitter, the online messaging site that has some 200 million account holders. "Walker kills women’s cancer screening program for political gain," her second tweet claimed. In the messages, Moore cited two website articles about the state Well Woman program. Among other things, it provides tests for cancer for low-income women who don’t have insurance that covers such screenings. The articles...

MICHAEL MOORE, ON CNN: Well, "The Washington post" three weeks ago had this investigation and they said that President Obama has now raised more money from Wall Street and the banks for this election cycle than all -- than all eight Republicans combined. I don't want to say that, because if that's the truth, that Wall Street already has their man and his name is Barack Obama, then we've got a much bigger problem. But I think President Obama, if he were here in the room, the question I would ask him is why are they your number one contributors?...

He is the booming voice of the Occupy protests, encouraging activists to continue their battle against the wealthy one per cent of Americans. But it seems left-wing documentary maker Michael Moore has been uncharacteristically quiet about one thing: his own wealth. While Moore has denied he is among the top-earners in the country, tax records show he owns an extensive property in one of the country’s most elite communities. Moore owns the large holiday home on Torch Lake, Michigan in addition to his pricey Manhattan residence. The spacious 10,000 sq ft property is a far cry from the scene of...

As Moore was leaving the Occupy Denver protest to go to a book signing he was confronted by a correspondent at KCNC-TV, the local CBS affiliate. The reporter asked if his rumored wealth made him part of the one percent the "Occupy" movement was protesting against.

Moore Lashes Out At CBS4 Over Wealth Questions Filmmaker Visits Occupy Denver Protesters November 3, 2011 6:29 PM DENVER (CBS4) – Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore joined a growing crowd at the “Occupy” Denver protest Thursday evening, but his encounter with CBS4 left him fuming when he was asked about whether he represented the “99 percent” that the protesters stand for, or the “1 percent” they claim to be rallying against. He appeared in Denver for a book signing event and visited the demonstration at Civic Center Park just before 6 p.m. Moore said a few words to the crowd...

No doubt they’ll come up with something really cool. Ronald Kessler’s Newsmax article today provides us with a hint: The tea party movement wants to achieve change through the political system. But Moore said Occupy Wall Street has different goals. “We’re no longer settling for we live in a democracy because we voted for a politician,” he said. The fact that police have now arrested close to 1,000 protesters underscores that they are willing to use violence and civil disobedience to achieve their ends. Ironically, they vilify millionaires and billionaires, yet their target includes left-wing heroes like President Barack Obama,...
