Michael Moore backs Obama over 'disgusting' Clinton
Breitbart ^ | 04/21/2008

Posted on 04/21/2008 12:04:32 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Outspoken documentary film-maker Michael Moore Monday endorsed Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama, decrying the "downright disgusting" campaign tactics of Hillary Clinton.

Moore, whose latest movie "Captain Mike Across America" tracks John Kerry's doomed 2004 bid for the presidency, said he had not given a "rat's ass" who won the nomination this year as long as a Democrat triumphs in November.

But having excoriated Clinton for her 2002 vote in support of the Iraq war, the Oscar-winning writer and director now accused the New York senator of "stoking the fears of white America" against the mixed-race Obama.

Writing on his website on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, Moore said that in recent weeks, "the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting."

He cited Clinton's mention of radical US Islamic leader Louis Farrakhan during a televised debate last week, in connection with Obama's controversial former pastor Jeremiah Wright.

That, according to Moore, was an attempt to "smear the black man" (Obama) so as to sway Democratic grandees known as superdelegates who look set to decide the presidential nomination.

"You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds," Moore said in addressing Clinton, but now she was like "a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity."

The director of "Sicko" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" said he was endorsing the movement for change represented by the "exceptional" Obama, in order to end the war in Iraq and to hold corporate America to account.

And Moore said the Democrats could yet lose to Republican John McCain in November.

"We know there are still many Americans who will never vote for a black man. Hillary knows it, too. She's counting on it."

Nah, America will never send Obama Hussein to the White House. Hillary will pull it out anyway but she can’t win the general election.

That's so intolerant and judgemental.

Doesn't Mikey know that all points of view are just as valid (as long as they're left-wing)?

Hillary is hitting the jackpot. First idiot Edward Kennedy is around buzzing around Pennsylvania for Obama (who lost Massachusetts) and now Michael Moore is helping Obama. Hillary could not have it better.

It’s racist to denounce the head of the Nation of Islam as a bigot? It’s racist to denounce Jeremiah Wright as a bigot? It’s racit to denounce someone who can’t stop using the terms “whites” and “white people” when he makes broad assertions as a bigot?

Michael Moore calling Hillary “downright disgusting” is like the Rosie O’Donnell calling Rachael Maddow an ugly lesbian!

Part of me wants to see Hillary win the nomination so she can get even with all the left wingers who JUST NOW see how evil she is but were kissing her and Bubba’s butt from 92-2000

They are playing Good Marxist/Bad Marxist. Both are Marxists espounsing socialist agendas.

By making Obama seem like an extremist with the support of politically unpopular leftists, it makes Clinton appear to be moderate by comparison.

Of course McCain is even more moderate than Hillary, a detail not lost on some Democrats who don’t want to go “all the way” Socialist.

1- Is Michael Moore relevant? I guess some in the MSM think so.

2- Nobody knows “disgusting” like Michael Moore. Both in his personal hygiene and in his own tactics of persuasion.

3- This will be real interesting if Obama is not the Dem. candidate for the G.E. What will Mikey do??? Attack a socialist Dem like Hillary? After a comment like he made, it will be hard to return to supporting her, regardless of how much her opinions match Moores.

Is it true that you're supporting Obama, Mr. Moore?
