June 27, 2004 -- MICHAEL Moore hates Sen. John Kerry and the Democratic Party - and Ralph Nader - almost as much as he detests President Bush and the Republicans.
The portly provocateur appeared after a screening of "Fahrenheit 9/11" Thursday night set up by like-minded lefties at the American Civil Liberties Union at Chelsea's Clearview Cinemas.
Reports our witness: "Preacher met choir as Moore roly-polyed his way down the aisle to brag about how well his film will do and to answer questions for 45 minutes as some hairy leftists lobbed adoring questions and others trickled out of the theater."
Among Moore's bloviations:
* "I have never owned a single share of stock because I don't believe in the system. It's an evil system."
* He claimed advance sales for "Fahrenheit 9/11" were just slightly behind those of the latest Harry Potter movie.
* When he showed the propaganda documentary to a group of 200 students and asked them how many intended to vote for Ralph Nader, "about half" raised their hands. Democratic candidate John Kerry's daughter Alexandra was present and "she freaked out," according to Moore.
* When a fan in the audience gently suggested that the film could be cut down to a 20-minute short, Moore shot him down, "That's what they do on 'Dateline.'"
* He bashed the Democrats as "a miserable, pathetic party that can't win an election even when they win an election."
* He bashed Al Gore: "Nobody counted on him losing Tennessee, nobody counted on him forbidding [Bill] Clinton from campaigning for him in Arkansas, and certainly nobody counted on him - and Gore is a smart man - losing 3 debates to the dumbest man to ever run for president."
* He "posted a petition on my Web site, which I signed, that said I won't vote for anybody who voted for the war.
"And Kerry voted for the war."
* He trashed Nader because, "he doesn't give a [bleep] about anybody but himself."
* He acknowledged the irony that the Carlyle Group - which he bashes in the movie as some sort of shadowy war profiteering company - has become part owner of Loews Cinemas, which is currently showing his film.

I wish some reporter would ask Michael Moore if the people that don't agree with him should be killed.
As for this:
certainly nobody counted on him - and Gore is a smart man - losing 3 debates
Rational people would check their premises at this point.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
moore is the undisputed expert in caring only about his bloviated self.
Sorry...I stand corrected. He doesn't like ANYBODY.
As least he isn't prejudice. He hates everybody.
Yep, bitterness consumes him, no wonder he is the patron saint of DU.
michael moore is a P.O.S. and as we all know,after time,sh!t will dry up and go away.
Well, he's a BIG, FAT P.O.S. so it's going to take a VERY long time for all that BLUBBER to dry up and go away!
Well, well, well! ...learned something new this morning!
This just intensifies my total disgust for this P.O.S.!
It's much harder to accept reality and make a rational choice. Much easier just to stand aside and bitch. I know, I once voted Libertarian.
The more people he alienates, the better.
Moore is second runner-up behind Hitlary
Good point, moore, hillary, slick willie, all suffer from the same ailment.
You know what there may be some sweet irony here, moore's publicly self destructive behavior oustshining willie's. Slick willie probably wants to punch out twinkie king moore, for taking the throne in self-absorbtion.
Where oh where are the Jersey Cows?
/sarcasm off
Perfect ?. He would of ofcourse say yes.
Wrong, Moore can go on and on about how brilliant and witty he is. He also has some kind words for the founder of Krispy Kreme donuts.
Is he saying that Alexandra is "traveling" with this movie, therefore endorsing it?
Boy, I hope so; talk about having something to hang around Kerry's neck!
