Michael Moore Loses It
NRO ^ | 7/28/04 | Byron York

Boston, Mass — Promoting his movie Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Democratic National Convention, radical filmmaker Michael Moore launched into a shouting, red-faced denunciation of Republicans Tuesday, saying supporters of the GOP are different from "real Americans"; that they are "people who hate"; that they are "up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they're going to screw today"; and that in the upcoming presidential campaign, they "are going to fight...smear...lie...and hate."

Moore, who sat in former President Jimmy Carter's box at the convention Monday night, has been welcomed by wildly enthusiastic audiences at his appearances in Boston. He made his remarks about Republicans during one of those appearances, at a forum sponsored by the left-wing organizing group Campaign for America's Future. The speech drew an overflow crowd; fans stood in line for hours for a chance to hear Moore speak.

"The right wing is not where America is at," Moore said. "Most Americans, in their heart, are liberal and progressive. It's just a small minority of people who hate. They hate. They exist in the politics of hate."

"They're not patriots," Moore said. "They're hate-triots, and they believe in the politics of hate-triotism. Hate-triotism is where they stand, and patriotism is where real Americans stand."

Moore, who predicted victory for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry — "It's all over but the voting," he said — warned that the Republican Party will do almost anything to keep its hold on power. "They're not going to go without a fight," he said, "and believe me, they are better fighters than we are."

"I mean, they are up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they're going to screw today," Moore continued. "The hate, they eat for breakfast. They are going to fight and they are going to smear, and they are going to lie, and they are going to hate."

Moore conceded that there are "good Republicans." Those Republicans, he said, will vote for Kerry in November.

Moore also attacked the media for not asking the "right questions" before the war in Iraq, and he tantalized the audience by recounting a story in which he said a major — but unnamed — television personality told him that Vice President Dick Cheney had interfered with news coverage of the war. Moore said he was on a morning talk show recently, and, "After we went to commercial, the person who was interviewing me said, 'You know, you're right. When the war started, it was very difficult here to book the people we wanted to book and ask the questions we wanted to ask. In fact, I got a memo about my tone of voice. Apparently, the brass had received a call from Dick Cheney's office, they said they didn't like my tone of voice. I got a memo on it.'"

Moore said he told the person, "You've got to tell that story." But the person answered, "I can't." Moore continued: "I said, 'They can't fire you. You're one of the most well-known people in America. You've got to tell this story, and if you don't tell it, I'm going to wait maybe another week.'"

The audience laughed at Moore's threat to expose the newsperson. Moore promised to tell the whole story on his website and name the person involved. "That person is on notice now," Moore said, "and I'm doing it in a friendly way."

I was disappointed that O'Reilly even wasted the time to interview this dishonest behemoth (calling him a "polemicist" insults polemicists) . He does not need free publicity.

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE MONSTER!

He's accusing the GOP of doing the same negative stuff that he and the Rats are doing.

Mark my words folks: When Bush unveils the ads after the Rats convention the Dems will just say that the GOP is being negative. Bush is not allowed to defend himself.

Nice grammar, fatso.

I love it..."fatso" is absolutely the right word for him. He's so fat that it would be easier to go over him, then around him!!!

He also stole the term "hatriotism". It was in a column written AGAINST HIM and posted on JWR (Jewish World Review). It was by an Iraqi who was dunning him over his war stance.

"The droolers who would actually listen to this walking feces don't have two brain cells to rub together."

Moore himself said Americans are the "stupidest people on earth". He must mean those who buy into his crap!

Michael Moore:"They're hate-triots"

He stole that line from us, right wingers!

The bastard has no creativity at all...The truth is not in him. He has to steal lines and other peoples ideas to get noticed and then accuses 50% of American's of doing what he's made millions doing. LYING!

Yeah, Mikey, we all get up at six in the morning just to think about ways to come after YOU! Sheesh! What a maroon, er, moore-on.

Moore gets so red faced that I wonder if he might just stroke out. He is just another rabid communist liberal DemocRAT that thinks highly fo himself. Sort of like Kerry come to think of it.

"I mean, they are up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they're going to screw today," Moore continued. "The hate, they eat for breakfast."

I thought he was in documentaries...profiling the "truth" and whatnot.

For example...I usually get up at 7am....and rarely eat breakfast...

What a mindless windbag.

Of course, when this story breaks on the news tonight (hey, I can dream, can't I)....the DNC will question the "timing" of the story, too....

that they are "up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they're going to screw today"
Wow! I'm glad Michael Moore enlightened me. I apparently am supposed to wake up earlier to help out with this GOP plot. All this time I thought my husband was up at 6 am to go to work.

He's Larry Flint without the chair. He's satan's advocate. He's anti-american. He's a skilled deceiver and con artist of the likes we've seldom seen. He's a very dangerous operator who will meet his own demise eventually.

I expect MM will self-destruct sooner or later. Anyone that has that much hate, and is not scared to lie to get his point out, will go over the edge sooner or later. Just a matter of time, and the Dims will deny ever knowing the guy.

They were surgically attached by a rogue Vermont doctor in support of same-sex marriage, who would eventually become governor.
