BTW I swear I saw Michael Moore's twin the other day here in my town. He was just as fat and ugly as the real Michael Moore

I've received hundreds of letters from our troops in Iraq

When MM says "our troops" he's referring to the ISM and ANSWER freaks. Probably every one of these letters was written by HUMAN SHIELD WANKERS.

Moore has exposed them to disciplinary measures by using them for his own political purposes

don't forget about the one that chunked a grenade into a tent of fewllow soldiers or maybe the priest that was working with the prisoners from taliban land.

does moore want the taliban back in power?

does he want the baathist punks to go back to killing children of the opposition?

he's an arm of the democratic party which is a division of the UN which is a paid partner of 100's of dictators killing and looting all over the world.

Considering Moore's proven track record of outright fabrications I wouldn't place too much stock in any of these "letters" from the troops.

"As we approach the holidays, I've been thinking a lot about our kids who are in the armed forces serving in Iraq. I've received -- and they are telling me something very different from what we are seeing on the evening news."

No, Michael, you have been thinking about all the money and perks you are making off the backs of these kids serving in Iraq.

It's his way of seeing how the services work, no one, NO ONE tells their commanding officer, "‘You just don't get it, do you?’ "

But... but.... they do it in the movies all the time!!

I don't doubt that Moore actually received some of these letters. If I was a dissatisfied, conspiracy theorizing, liberal coward stuck in Iraq, Moore is the first person I would contact.

I wish Mike would go to the front lines with his camera crew. What a great documentary watching bloat-o boy blown up would make.

I know this is an open forum and it is entirely appropriate to post this claptrap from Moore. The problem is the way it make me feel. There is a seething, an anger inside of me about these types - and those who glibly chuckle over his "wise and all-knowing" attitudes. Useful idiots.

These letters prove zilch. This is why.

1. They don't have the ring of truth. There is almost no current military jargon in them whatsoever. They look like they were written by activist college kids, Tim Robbins and Jeannine Gradual.

2. Assuming they are true, they are almost to the letter written by Privates and Specialists. In a military the size of ours your going to get a lot of dumb kids. Most of them will grow out of it, although I still work with a guy who thinks Clinton is the best President of all time, and I know another who thinks that anyone who's not liberal is not a good American. These guys are the extreme minority, but there's more than enough of them to fill up columns by Mikhail Moore Dessert Please.

3.Imagine any war we've ever been in. Not everyone has been happy to go. One of my favorite books is Catch-22, and we have a copy that travels with our unit. I'm sure that large segments in any war man has ever fought has got disgruntled. That why we have NCOs and officers to keep the guys focused and pointed front towards enemy.

4. I GUARNETEE that this goldbricking jagoff has got enough hate mail from people in uniform to choke a herd of elephants. Taking out the few that are supportive and making them the centerpiece of his argument is disingenuous at best.

Upbeat! Inspiring! A Genuine American Capitalist !! November 25, 2003

This film, extremely entertaining, a great work of comedic/dramatic art, is actually more valuable and noteworthy for its underlying message: Free-market capitalism is the finest system ever devised, it is driven by individual creativity/productivity, and Michael Moore is a superlative, exemplary paragon of the American Profit Motive in action.

Down and out in a town that was down and out -- Flint -- Michael Moore didn't run whining to the government for help. He didn't go begging on the streets. He didn't mew and squeal about bad luck in life. He didn't go sit in the corner with his thumb in his mouth.

Rather, Moore had an idea, then he got off his derriere and, by means of his individual drive, made it happen -- and accordingly he then reaped praise and profit for this endeavor, which catapulted him into a fabulously successful film-making career. This is the American Dream, and Michael Moore pursued it. He is now rich, he is now wealthy, because he absolutely deserves to be.

In the course of this process, Moore created value for the consumer public -- he manufactured a product which people voluntarily purchased, everyone going away happy from the transaction. No law or regulation forced anyone to buy tickets to this film (in theaters) or to purchase the DVD: Free Trade At Its Purest.

Moore also created work for others. He paid technical folks and others to work for him, to produce this film. He now owns/runs a successful business in this field, having gone on to the series "TV Nation" and "Bowling for Columbine." He achieved business and profit growth, the hallmarks of capitalism -- the only system ever devised which produces abundance.

Michael Moore is a monument to private-sector productivity, the literal economic fuel for everything we do and/or have. Moore is a GREAT capitalist, absolutely TERRIFIC in the pursuit of profits, and we should all hope that he merely gets richer and richer and richer -- because that will mean he has made other people happy, without being any sort of burden at all to society or taxpayers.

I don't know why anything from MichaelMoore.com is linked to FR. If you go to the dump, you're going to find trash.

and some you can't disguise

twisted truth and half the news

can't hide it in your eyes

(REPEAT CHORUS)

you say you'll try harder

but i think it's just too late

well, the car is revving in the drive,

and i'm not the sort to wait

the bigger, the better

some nicked from old saigon

collected from around the world

love lies on and an and on and on and on and

lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)

Since President Bush supports proscriptions on dangerous drugs, therefore it's supposedly fair play to post liberal screeds from the likes of Michael Moore, who himself is probably an ardent pro-drug-legalizer. As they say: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

It's all about the liberal crusade against the so-called WOD. See #58.
