Ok, ignoring him isn't working.
New strategy: Let everyone see his work as quickly as possible. Distribute widely in a manner that won't give him any money.
Thoroughly parse and debunk. His fans won't turn away from him, and we'll still hate him as much as we do know, but hopefully we'll be able to convince the fencesitters that he is lying scum.

France? That's that country that profitieered from and supported/financed Saddam Hussein in 1997 and yet again in 2003, isn't it?

That's also that country that made a couple best sellers out of books claiming that the US launched a missle (painted to look like a plane) into the Pentagon on 9-11-2001.

7. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

Heck, it's got to be an improvement over the previous Commander in Chief deploying troops over the phone WHILE he was receiving oral sex. Bill Clinton showed that he didn't treat these mens' lives with any respect.

9. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

The problems with teen sex (and pregnancy, STDs, rape, molestation, homosexual seduction, and even depression) aren't because of "sex education" informing kids of the mechanics of reproduction, it is that there is a definite agenda PUSHING for teen sex.

It is an international movement (with strongholds in California and Europe). Look up "sex positive" teaching sometime.

These people want teens (and pre-teens) engaging in sex without shame (at all ages). They don't necessarily encourage adult-minor sex but they aren't willing to make solid judgement calls against it either.

This site has been shut down (partly out of finances, partly out of political pressure) http://www.allaboutsex.org/ but it still exists as a link to other sites (some government?) that push for this agenda.

13. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but Creationism should be taught in schools.

I wonder what he makes of the science linking abortion to cancer risks.

>>11. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

Strawman arguement - HMOs and insurance companies exist to make money and should be regulated by the market like everything else. If the government provides bad service where do you go?

Why not look at Canada where those who can't wait for public healthcare (like Tom Green) come to America to get diagnosed and treated (for lifethreatening ailments like cancer).

Just to clarrify your point to the banned troll:

"Rush should be treated the same as any other person in this situation. Not singled out for extra zealous prosecution and punishment because he’s a prominent conservative."

I recommend that the troll check with Florida to see just how few prosecutions have been made of this charge (I think it was one, offered as a plea bargain). The DA has an agenda.

>>12. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

You’re referring to the Iraqi “constitution” no doubt. It’s socialism here, and it’s socialism there. Conservatives (not necessarily Republicans) do not agree with it.

Iraq was a socialist country (Saddam Hussein admired Joseph Stalin). I think this is a part of the reason the Marxists sided with Iraq in this war with the US.

Once people are hooked on suckling at the government teat, it can be difficult to wean them.

Nationalized healthcare in Saddam's Iraq left many without. We were told it was because of the "sanctions". We know/knew better. Saddam had billions for palaces and mosques.

In socialist systems, all people are equal. However, some are more equal than others.

>> 14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Daddy Bush made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Baby Shrub needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

Sadam was never a “good guy”. Did we help arm him in the past? Yes we did. You need to learn more history before you make goofy statements like that. It was considered in our best interests to help him in his war on Iran, and it came back to haunt us. Please explain when exactly “Cheney did business with him”. More talking points, no doubt.

He probably thinks that Joseph Stalin is still a "good guy" even though he killed 20million people. Or maybe he thinks that we shouldn't have teamed up with Stalin to defeat Adolph Hitler?

His posts are OFF TOPIC for this thread. Rather than commenting on Michael Moore, the Cannes Film Festival, his new movie, or France he has opted to bash Bush and conservatives instead.

If he wants to address these issues, he needs to discuss them one at a time on relevant threads or else post a vanity (think THAT one will last?).

So to quote him is to pose a "copyright violation"? To quote him is to be "factually incorrect"? Quoting a traitor's support for the enemy is "harsh" and "flame bait"?

The left does not want the truth to be exposed.

We saw how Democrats held their tongues and refused to criticize Bill Clinton (they could not concede any conservative arguments). They even suffered through supporting the Clinton Administration's excesses at Waco and in the Elian kidnapping.

Well I am here to say that the left is even more embarassed by the hard left turn that Democrats exhibit now.

Penn Jillette is a self-declared "little l" libertarian (then again so was Bill Maher) and he recently said that he thinks that Michael Moore is a Republican agent (he makes the left look that bad).

I've heard other leftists (just in conversation) being put off by the socialists at Pacifica radio, the conspiracy theories, the "victimized" whine. They hate Bush (and some don't but they are hesitant to admit it, a few will) but there is absolutely nothing that makes them want to see John Kerry as president for 4 years.

With Airliners.net, it is a copyright violation since I was the one who did it. If it had been a piece of Euro-trash directly quoting someone, it would have been acceptable. A.net is full of Euro-trash and at least two dozen DU members who us DU as a "reputable" news source.

Being anything other than a die hard, anti-U.S. Marxist on Airliners.net is just asking to be suspended or banned. I only stay just to see how many of them I can annoy by posting the truth.

Knowing what that jerk Moore is capable of, the only award he is deserving of (to describe his capabilities and service to mankind) is the "Palme d' Johnson's Baby Oil" Award

The Cannes Festival has lost all semblance of class and quality (what little they may possess - after all, this "festival" is nothing more than a marketing device for selling movies) when this "jury" picked obsessive compulsive President Bush hater carb junkie Moore to win this prize - any prize.

The great propagandists of the Third Reich and the Soviet Union are gleefully hailing this decision.

"All actors should be treated like cattle" - and may I add some directors like the hugely overrated Tarrantino as well.

I believe that's what we in the business refer to as, "a bowel movement."

It's probably the best weight loss option Chewbacca has at this point in time.
