This is NOT the first time that Michael Moore advocated BUYING VOTES (the act of which is a felony) for Kerry:

3. I Will Adopt 5 Nonvoters I Know and Take Them to the Polls.

You know who they are. Your slacker friends who have given up on the whole rotten group of politicians who run this country. Or they're the people you know who have had their lives made full of hardships thanks to the policies set by those very politicians. They too, have given up. And who can blame them? Why should they waste two minutes on voting?

Of course, that is just what those in power want them thinking. The more of us who give up, the more the rich and powerful can run amok over our lives. And there is perhaps no election in our lifetime more important than this one.

Pick five of the people you know who probably aren't going to vote. Acknowledge their despair and cynicism. Don't try to talk them out of it. But gently give them pieces of information over the next few months.

And then make a plan for Election Day. Take them out to vote and out to lunch (you pick up the tab!). Or have a party that night for those who voted that day.

Or get more creative. Offer a six-pack to anyone in the office who votes (make sure you're not working in cubicles full of Republicans!). Promise to have sex with a nonvoter - whatever it takes!

Here's a sample of the Red Diapers that Michael Moore is offering to all who drink the Kool-Aid...

[Izzy Dunne]

I give the guys a 3-pack of new Fruit of the Loom underwear, and the women get a day's supply of Ramen noodles

Whay do the women get food and the guys get underwear ???

Note: I am not on Michael Moore's email list but I saw this on an apolitical forum. I wanted to disprove Michael Moore's cheese and whine about being hassled by the GOP over a "joke". Michael Moore is serious about buying votes.

It seems that dumb college students (hey they are still in school because they are still learning) sell their votes cheap. In the ghetto, voters know to at least hold out for a package of cigarettes or some walking around money.

I am at one of the schools (MSU) where that giant, pompous, windbag pontificated his garbage to everybody. In fact, I think the thing was not 200 yards from my dorm. I could here all the idiots screaming. I wish he had never gone into "fictitious" documentaries.

[SteveMcKing]

"Keep sleeping 'til noon! Keep drinking beer! Stay on the sofa and watch as much TV as possible!"

I worked today, for which I was taxed. Does he wonder why I personally hate him and would smile at his passing?

[weegee]

Also note, I sent Mike Drudge and Rush Limbaugh an email discussing Mr. Moore's orders to buy votes "Do something" during the summer.

Maybe now they will pick up on the story if FReepers send them the information (and the link to Michael's own website where he STILL has this criminal proposal):

MIKE'S PLEDGE -Take the pledge to do the following four things: (http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/vote/pledge.php)

I then close by having them repeat the 2004 Slacker Oath: "Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry."

Seems like the third pick would be redundant. It makes you wonder if MM is really a hired Republican agent, he's just lowered several demeaning insults in regards to Kerry voters.

[CouncilofTrent]

or maybe he's just an idiot.

[Brett66]

LOL! Yeah, I guess I better apply Occam's Razor for the explanation.

[Lonely Bull]

I then close by having them repeat the 2004 Slacker Oath: "Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry."

This makes more sense than they know.

Considering who was probably in the audience:

"...clean underwear for anyone who will vote [for Kerry] in the upcoming election."

Might be considered a crime either because the law says not to do it, or because it's an insult to the unwashed.

[The Hollywood Conservative]

This really does beg the question:

Where would Michael Moore get a clean pair of underwear?

[Outland]

"Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry."

Either way, you end up with a dirty finger.

[Chummy]

"Keep sleeping 'til noon! Keep drinking beer! Stay on the sofa and watch as much TV as possible!"

This is the recipe for building a liberal and, of course, someone who would be interested in buying any bit of glotch slopped up to the market by Michael Moore.

Kill them brain cells, become a fat, lazy slob! Ask if there's more your government can do for you!

What a red-engorged bloat.

[savedbygrace]

If he doesn't think what he did is a crime, why is he declaring he'll avoid arrest? Why doesn't he stand and face the charges?

[Ptarmigan]

Whiny Crybaby. WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! WAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Rokurota]

I thought in Michael-Moore-world there were no slackers...everybody was working two and three jobs to scrape by...and the myth is that there are people out there who don't work and just lie around drinking beer all day.

Pick nose! Pick butt! Put foot in mouth!

[Ptarmigan]

Michael Moore is the biggest crybaby of all, besides Bill Maher, Al Gore, Natalie Maines, and Adrianna Huffington.

3 things Moore-on does very well, I'm sure.
