NewsMax's Wes Vernon spoke with Morton Blackwell, the GOP National Committeeman from Virginia and head of the Leadership Institute.Reports that Michael Moore was gracious and friendly to convention goers may be unfounded.
Here's what Blackwell observed:
"In this hallway here [just outside the convention arena] roughly a half hour before [McCain refered to Moore as a 'disingenuous filmmaker'] a conservative lady from a mid-western state, whom I happen to know, went up to him [Moore] as he was walking and said something like 'May God save you' -- in essence, in a very nice Christian way, calling on him to mend his ways.
"Moore's response was 'F--- you,' These were people who who were guarding him [who accompanied him out of Madison Square Garden].
"They were afraid that somehow these Republican ladies and gengtlemen would become a menace too him, which was rather preposterous."
A splash of holy water could have ended his evening much earlier than that.
"They were afraid that somehow these Republican ladies and gengtlemen would become a menace too him, which was rather preposterous."
Yes, this is preposterous.
If this is so, then I don't think that Moore took McCain's remarks as lightly as he pretended. People as insecure as he do not take any insult lightly.
Michael Moore is a hack but as a Christian it makes me deeply uncomfortable when I hear about people using Gods name to take cheap shots at people.
"They were afraid that somehow these Republican ladies and gengtlemen would become a menace too him, which was rather preposterous."
Considering that the only menace to Moore is the closing of fast food restaurants or a mandatory shaving/shower policy.
This reminds me of a remark my Dad made about a mare we had on the ranch. This mare was separate from the usually well socialized horse set, and would give "body language" moves to keep other horses away.
" That mare is so mean that she will kick at her own pee."
"If this is so, then I don't think that Moore took McCain's remarks as lightly as he pretended. People as insecure as he do not take any insult lightly."
For a man notorious for his paranoia, we may be witnessing true courage here.
Michael Moore = POS!

Michael Moore, always the gentleman and never at a loss as to what to say. ;)
"A splash of holy water could have ended his evening much earlier than that."
Don't risk it. Just drive a stake through his heart. Wait a second, how could anyone find it through the blubber? Anyhoo, Tubby isn't anything a little fire can't cure. He'd burn like a tire fire though.
Moore has a column in "USA Today" today. Has it been posted yet?
Rutles4ever said:"A splash of holy water could have ended his evening much earlier than that."
Gasoline would have been better for that Ass!
"Do not cast your pearls before swine."
Moore sez: "F--- it if you don't like my face!"
