Marines don't seem to like him much, either.

"A maggot that eats off the dead" – that's what the mother of a U.S. Air Force major killed in the Iraq thinks about filmmaker Michael Moore, who used footage from the man's Arlington Cemetery funeral in his anti-Bush movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was killed in March 2003 when a grenade was thrown into his tent, allegedly by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
"It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, told the Washington Times.
"We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called [Moore] a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'"
The video footage shows Stone's fiancée, Tammie Eslinger, kissing her hand and touching it to his coffin, the Times reported.
Gallagher says the family doesn't know how Moore got the footage, but is considering taking legal action against the director.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" opened June 25 in U.S. theaters and has brought in $80.1 million so far.
"A maggot that eats off the dead"
An apt description of Mikey Moore.
Very apt.
Marines don't seem to like him much, either.
Sue Moore for that $80.1 million
If I was that kids mother, I would sue Moore for as much as we could get and then donate it to Bush's campaign.... a fitting end, don'tcha think?
Beyond disgusting.
Does this maggot Moore truly call himself a journalist? The lowliest pond scum has more ethics than this guy...
For his sake, he'd better hope I never meet him in the street on a dark night.
I agree. I was in Glenwood Springs several weeks ago and thought I spotted blubberbutt. I whipped a U-turn, the wife freaked! HAHA, but it was a false alarm. Just another fatass from Michigan. It would have been ASSKICKING time if it had been the butterball from Flint.
I told this story to a rabid pro-Moore leftist I know. She sneered at the mother of this soldier and said "too bad - sucks to be her." The compasionate left. These people are SICK.
LOL!
Good for You. I would have liked to have seen that.
I hope this Fat Maggot has to look over his shoulder constantly to avoid an A$$kicking. Someone will get him someday.
Oh yeah, he is WORTH doing a little jail time for kicking his ass. Of course, since I'm of Irish descent, and can spin a line of BLARNEY deeper than the Marianas Trench, I'm betting I'd get off with a congratulations and a hearty well done from the court!
As someone who's father is buried in Arlington I must tell you I resent what Moore has done. I know they try very hard to keep the rif raf out. After my wedding we took all the flowers there, and then the day I left on our honeymoon I went by to say good bye to dad, each and every arrangement was gone. The money was huge but the loss was heartbreaking. We called, and evidently they had a run on the flowers of the graves. The only wall that keeps these guys out, is a wall you can climb over. I hope in the future they make sure there are no unwanted folks near a service.

And yet another bump. To call Michael Moore a maggot is to impugn all the hard-working maggots doing their duty to keep the food chain moving.
