Michael Moore: "Clark Is The Butcher Of Kosovo" [But We Need Him To Butcher Bush]

Democracy Now ^ | October 15, 2003 | Michael Moore

[Hon]

AMY GOODMAN: I guess what surprised so many people when you sent out your letter, and now in your book, on Wesley Clark, I don’t think people were surprised that he ran for president, but that he’s called the anti-war worrier, that this is the man who said the rest of the world has got to get with us, this is the man who presided over the bombing of Yugoslavia.

MICHAEL MOORE: Well, yeah, I put it in “Bowling for Columbine,” I’m so upset still about what happened in Kosovo, it’s in my movie. I found a way to work it into a gun movie and draw the connections between the largest—the day the largest bombing took place in Kosovo was on the day of the Columbine massacre. So, I’m very concerned about that. And I’d like to hear his answers about that. I’d like to hear, you know, exactly what happened. And I read the story in the “New York Times” last week that offered a whole different explanation of what I’d been reading on the internet.

So I don’t know. I mean, I think that’s why—I just thought he should be in the debates, and we should hear what he has to say. And I think any time we’ve got a four-star general that seems to be on our side, you know, we should accept that. And people say, well, Mike, you know, he said he voted for Reagan. I say, well, yeah, so did most of America. If one of them wants to come over to our side, shouldn’t we have open arms and say, well, you know what, OK, maybe this guy screwed up in the past, maybe, you know, he’s not done the right thing or whatever. But jeez, you know, he said he’s going to do this, and this and that, and he stands for these things. You know, let’s hear the guy out, let’s have him in the debates. I think it’s a good thing.

Well, Mike, he’s the butcher of Kosovo. Maybe that’s what we need right now is a butcher. We need the butcher of Bush. I mean, I don’t know. Again, I’m not—it’s not an endorsement, but it’s like, what do we do, Amy, people like us? Because you got somebody like Dean. OK, Dean is great on all this stuff, but I met with Dean, he told me that he supports the death penalty— in three different cases he would allow the death penalty. He won’t cut the Pentagon budget. You know, you go down the whole list of things, and I just think, jeez, you know, what do we do about it? How much do we have to compromise and keep compromising to find the right person?

[Hon]

"he’s the butcher of Kosovo. Maybe that’s what we need right now is a butcher. We need the butcher of Bush."

Outrageous.

[RandallFlagg]

Agreed. Outrageous. But not one bit suprising.

I say let them rave on. It shows them as the nutjobs that they are.

[sirshackleton]

Such an eloquent response from Mr. Moore.......

[MizzouTigerRepublican]

Another well thought response from a stinky hippie communist.

[finnman69]

bump

[ibbryn]

He's ok cuz he's "our" butcher.
Amazing how many leftist think mass murder is ok as long as it is in support of social-ism, commun-ism or their own favorite flavor of -ism.

[mhking]

Moore needs to be cared for gently. I think that perhaps some kind gentlemen should bring him a nice white leather coat.

With sleeves that tie in the back.

They can take him to his new home.

Fully furnished.

Real posh.

Lots of padding.

On the walls...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

he’s the butcher of Kosovo. Maybe that’s what we need right now is a butcher. We need the butcher of Bush. I mean, I don’t know. Again, I’m not—it’s not an endorsement, but it’s like, what do we do, Amy, people like us? Because you got somebody like Dean. OK, Dean is great on all this stuff, but I met with Dean, he told me that he supports the death penalty— in three different cases he would allow the death penalty. He won’t cut the Pentagon budget.

... and the truly sad and awful thing is: there are countless thousands on the hard left who genuinely find this sort of brain dead bloviating eloquent and convincing.

Homeschooling and/or vouchers, people. Now, more than ever.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

But only if you can, jeez you know, stand more Michael Moore.

Please FReepmail me if you, jeez you know, want on/off this ping list.

[Hon]

"Dean is great on all this stuff, but I met with Dean, he told me that he supports the death penalty—"

Just judging from Kosovo alone, I would say that Clark supports the death penalty in a big way.

But "logic" and Michael Moore don't mix. (Just like bath water and Moore don't mix.)

[colorado tanker]

Man, that guy is certifiable.

[reed_inthe_wind]

If one of them wants to come over to our side, shouldn’t we have open arms and say, well, you know what, OK, maybe this guy screwed up in the past, maybe, you know, he’s not done the right thing or whatever. But jeez, you know, he said he’s going to do this

Yeah, we can make the Butcher our new leader.

Moore is a world class a$$wipe. He deserves a place next to Clinton for integrity and truthfulness.

[swilhelm73]

So he thinks Clark is the Butcher of Kosovo and still is supporting him...

Yep, he's a real moral paragon.

In fairness though, choosing between the crazy general who almost started WWIII, the deaniac who doesn't know what an abortion is, the Boston Brahmin who can't go a week with lying *badly*, or the Clinton clone who got filthy rich by abusing the legal system, who do you go with?

[sarcasm]LaRouche 2004 - the only man willing to fight the Beastmen and Aliens that control our government. [/sarcasm]

[Adrastus]

This guy isn't just a nut job. He needs to be watched closely. This whole Hollywierd elitist thing needs to be looked at. These arrogant swine somehow have the attitude that because the others of their type see them as some sort of intellectual giant, that it makes it so. I seriously doubt that people would get away with this kind of crap in 1942. There wouldn't be enough lamp posts to go around.

Michael moore is a sick individual looking for any kind of audience and will say or do anything to get one. I've given this/him more time than he merits under any circumstances.

[mylife]

Ya have to wonder what Clark is thinking hooking up with the likes of Michael Mooron and The Gay Advocate.
Wussly gets what he deserves from the company he keeps.

[buwaya]

The Clinton clone, I think. The smartest of the bunch.

[weegee]

"We need the butcher of Bush."

Is that a death threat Mr. Moore?

[timydnuc]

Why am I constantly seeing things that this pig says in print and broadcast media. He' an IDIOT!!

If we get the result we are working for in November I think this guy will be relegated to cleaning the bathrooms in the New York subways. Fitting job seeing how he's a turd! He and Hill & Bill should move to Flushing, New York, a fitting place for pieces' OS.

Somebody, please tell me, that he didn't graduate from college!

You forgot to add an adjective for 'fata$$' there.
