Democratic Party filmmaker Michael Moore is warning that the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is trying to deny him an Oscar for his celebrated schlockumentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," complaining that "top Republicans" are trying to intimidate the Academy Awards with threats of a Hollywood boycott.
"A group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety)," Moore noted last week in a message posted to his Web site.
"The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid of Kerry, there was still one more nuisance running around loose they had to deal with – me!" Moore said that this evil GOP cabal has "issued a not-so-subtle threat to the Academy Awards voters that, in essence, said don't even THINK about nominating 'Fahrenheit 9/11' for Best Picture. And Bill O'Reilly recently bellowed that if the Oscars recognize my work this year, Middle America will boycott Hollywood."
Of course, some may recall that Moore promised to withdraw his film from Oscar contention when he thought he had a chance to air "Fahrenheit" on the pay-per-view cable net iNDEMAND before the election.
"I told my crew who worked on the film, let's let someone else have that Oscar," he told the BBC in September. "I don't want to take away from the other nominees and the attention that they richly deserve."
What Moore meant, it turns out, is that he was yanking "Fahrenheit" out of contention for the Best Documentary honors, which didn't preclude him from chasing the Oscar for Best Film.
And if Moore doesn't win his Oscar, it won't be because his rancid little flick was chock full of inaccuracies and propaganda, but because the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy strong-armed Hollywood into picking a less deserving production.
NO, I'm not stealing anything, but I'd sure like to beat this clown down.
Steaming,dog.
LOL!!
And... why can't men SHAVE? Especially those who boutique their mouths that look like a target for a ... male member. I'm sure I will get more answers from folks from San Franciso and MA.
The best part was how we made him ugly.

He could correct that condition if he lost a few hundred pounds, took a Clorox bath, followed by an HCL bath, with a good dunking in a five gsllon bucket of Nair (depilatory), did 50 pushups a day, and enlisted in the USMC.
Check that. Correction.
The Marines only look for a few good men.
Based upon Moore's reputation, he'd probably suffer from "friendly fire" before he even got onto base. IMOHO
LOL. Well, here is your answer
Funny, nicely written article by you! Thanks for posting it here. Now, I'm going to re-read it, and the thread. ;-D
Not that Loofah Man is a spokesman for "Middle America," but Lardass needs to realize that just as he has the constitutionally protected freedom of speech to make and release his shlockumentary, the rest of us (and that includes more than just "Middle America") have the equally valid right to refuse to spend our money on works and "artistes" who offend us, or just don't particularly entertain us.
WOW! They’re almost affordable, and small enough to be easily transported! Something to save up for.
Poor Michael !!
Hey Michael, eat a salad !!
You have it exactly right.
