Moore showing more signs of hypocrisy

Have you heard the latest? Michael Moore is a hypocritical racist.

One of the bodyguards that Michael Moore has used in the past for personal protection, and who reportedly accompanied Moore to New York earlier this month, was arrested at JFK airport for carrying an unlicensed handgun in his luggage. While he was licensed to carry a weapon in some other states, he was not in New York. So what's the big deal?

Let's see...how about the fact that Michael Moore, famous (or infamous) for films such as Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and other equally distorted depictions of "reality" has for years been decrying the "culture of fear" in America and our obsession with guns. Or that he has stated that he thinks "all whites are instantly afraid when they see a black person" and buy guns because they're afraid of blacks, or any of the many other public utterances that he has made against Americans owning guns?

So what do we have here? One of America's most outspoken "gun control" advocates willingly lets himself be guarded by a gun-wielding bodyguard. That sure looks like hypocrisy of the highest order to any right thinking person. And since Moore believes white gun owners are racist, does that make him a "racist by proxy" for allowing guns in his presence? Sounds like it.

Just like Rosie O'Donnell and many others before him, Michael Moore is just one more example of the "holier-than-thou/do as I say not as I do" attitude that oozes through the whacko fringe of the Democrat party.

I know this little tidbit didn't get much press. Seems it wasn't "newsworthy." The only major media outlet I found that has run the story (at press time) was the Washington Post. The rest of the mainstream media has ignored it. I wonder why?

To give credit where it is due, there is another recent story that has been reported in the mainstream media. Reported with a serious slant, to be sure, but reported nonetheless.

Remember the exit polls that "showed" John Kerry with a substantial lead in certain states on Election Day and the cries of "foul" and outrage that continue to this day when President Bush (doesn't that just sound so good) won? These polls have been used as "proof" by liberal whackos that the election was stolen from Kerry. Once again, however, the truth comes out.

In a recently released report, the company that conducted the exit polls admitted that those exit polls were so grossly skewed in Kerry's favor as to make them the most unreliable poll in at least the last five elections. Can you say, "Whoops?"

Of course, the report was quick to point out that the errors occurred because more Kerry voters agreed to participate in the polls than did Bush voters. Shame on them.

Wait a minute, maybe the kooks are right! It was all a "vast right-wing conspiracy" aimed at breaking the liberal spirit and enriching the psychologists who are now treating all the P.E.S.T. ers that were created as a result.

You know about P.E.S.T. don't you? Post Election Selection Trauma. That's what people have who can't deal with the reality of President Bush's reelection.

All seriousness aside for a moment, I have a question: why can't politicians leave us alone?

In my last column I mentioned that thanks to our state political leaders, it is now going to cost most of us $30 instead of $9.25 to get our car inspected. I included it as an example of how government interferes with our lives, creating inconvenience and costing us money. I have another example this week.

It seems that Fairfax, VA is considering a law that will make it illegal for teenagers, and only teenagers, to talk on a cell phone. It will not matter if it is a hands-free unit or not. Not 20? No talky.

Now, all you true liberals out there should instantly be up in arms about this. This law targets only a small portion of the population. Discrimination! Where's the outrage? Actually, where is the basis in fact?

Study after study has repeatedly shown that cell phones are not the biggest distraction for drivers, young or old. The biggest distraction is other people in the car! Cell phones rank third or fourth on the list. So why the law, and why target only teenagers? Why not ban other people from talking, listening to/changing station on the radio or eating in vehicles? Those are more distracting.

All you teenagers from Virginia, what do you think?

I bring this up only because if this law passes it probably won't be long before Virginia as a whole adopts it, as well as other states. More government meddling in our lives.

Until next week, ciao.

Noting new here. Hypocrisy is the least of Moore's many defects.

Will MM trundle his carcass across the red carpet at the Oscars?

I'm guessing he will be a no show.

Noting = Nothing

I'm guessing he will be a no show.

Well, his zero nominations was a loud non-invite, undoubtedly based on his on-stage diatribe last year.

Thanks! Just another day in the life of H'weirdos who live to subvert others in their quest for everyone to turn into liberal leftist demoncRATS.

When I used to work organizing counter-culture (protest) groups, I used to be shocked that many of its leading personalities didn't really believe in their causes. It was just their ticket that they rode to celebrity -- and they were amazed to find out how gullible the true-believers were.

Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader, Michael Moore. That's just their ticket to ride. The news people like these mediocrities because they like to believe they control the game. "We make you, we can break you." It's the predecessor of the American Idol phenomenon.
