Remember when Rush Limbaugh used the term "Gorbasm" to describe how the left in America used to react Mikhail Gorbachev? I ask because in today's Huffington Post, Dan Siegel had what can only be called the first ever public, multiple Moore-gasm while describing the newest hypocritical piece of trash from Michael Moore, the successful, capitalist filmmaker who hates capitalism.
In the piece, titled (seriously) Michael Moore's Grapes of Wrath, Siegel sets a new standard for leftist hero worship.
"Michael Moore has made the most important and urgent political film of our time. In fact, he might have made the most American of films since the populist cinema of Frank Capra."
He's serious. Really.
"This film is a logical capstone to a twenty year documentary journey surveying the carcasses left behind by bootstrap capitalist ideology and cold-hearted greed, all greased by Washington's collusion."
No, it's the logical capstone to a career ending in a lunatic ward. And Siegel seems like a prime candidate as his roommate.
"This film takes wholesale aim at the house of capitalism by displaying the most venal and outrageous practices of the ill-begotten bottom line."
Really? You mean Moore takes on people who write deceitful, dishonest, anti-American, anti-logic and anti-commonsense documentaries, all-the-while duping idiots like yourself...

These people never learn. Socialism has been rejected all over the World. Are these people fanatical, or merely stupid?
The term “Gorebasm” was largely used for lunatics focused on Algore or at least that was my recollection.
Does Dan Siegel even realize what a capitalist pig Moore is?
Are these people fanatical, or merely stupid?
A bit of both, I would guess.
Rush termed it and defined it in his 1992 book The Way Things Ought to Be as “A fake and phony feeling of bliss, euphoria, excitement, ectasy and nirvana when pondering all the wonderful things Mikhail Gorbachev has done for the planet.”
Gah. I finally rented Sicko on DVD so I could watch it without tainting Michael Moore with capitalist profits, but I still can’t bring myself to watch it...
"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

This film will do more damage to Moore than good, because it will show him and his socialist co-horts as simple hypocrits and morons who deride capitalism while using the very same system to rake in tons of cash from idiotic college commies who don’t know any better. Even MSNBC were literally laughing at him for saying “Capitalism has never done anything for me.”

"People have been lied to. And many can see it. Invasion, occupation, police spying, round-ups, even torture camps--plus far-reaching changes in law, treaty and doctrine --they have all come wrapped in deceit. The President lies. His whole clique lies."
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore
Friends,
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.
So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

Maybe it evolved into that later. But initially it was regarding Gorby. Rush would play the Darth Vader music too. It was freakin' hilarious.
No big deal. I just finished reading a similar example of Moore idolatry by a tv guide scribbler, Scott Bowles (?)Sick libs interviewing other sick libs. I’m still astonished that these morons cannot understand the basic fact that Moore became filthy rich because of the capitalist system.
