I hardly consider 1400 communists packed into a theater to watch an anti-capitalist film newsworthy.
I heard that in the movie Michael Moore makes a plea to ditch capitalism in favor of ..... democracy.
He never was a very bright bulb.
I haven’t seen the film but I’ve hear that in it Moore really goes after Sen. Chris Dodd and rips him a new one. If that’s the case at least this movie may do some good in (finally) burying Dodd’s political career. Probably too late to do any good, but would be satisfying nonetheless.
The richest 1 percent have more financial wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined,” Mr. Moore shouted.
“Take it away from them!” the crowd yelled back.

I wonder when Michael Moore is going to share his millions with these people?! I wonder why Moore doesn’t think of himself as a capitalist since he has made millions from lying to people in his movies.
“I don’t know what the tipping point would be; but if you’ve got one-in-eight homes in delinquency or foreclosure, you’ve got an agitated public at that point,” Moore says, sitting in a posh hotel room last week at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Nervous. Full of fear and anxiety. Ripped off. Conned.”
“This is wrong, this system is wrong. Any system that operates where it’s all about the few benefiting at the expense of the many is a wrong system,” Moore says.
“The number one cause of bankruptcy, remember, is medical bills. So people are being asked to choose between having a roof over their head or their health,” Moore says.
Moore himself has no such problems, of course. Far and away the most successful documentary filmmaker of all time, his movies have brought in more than $172 million over the past 20 years. Right now he’s staying at The Hazelton, the only five-star hotel in Toronto.
“I’m pretty darn tired of reading and hearing about a fictional character created by the Fox News channel and Rush Limbaugh and others, a fictional character named Michael Moore that they’ve invented, who hates America and is Godless,” he says.
“I’m the opposite of all those things and I’m going to (bleeping) straighten it out,” he says.
