Michael Moore Calls Capitalism Evil
Newsmax - Left Coast Report ^ | 9-8-09 | James Hirsen

Posted on 09/08/2009 8:36:12 AM PDT by holy joe

Michael Moore solidified his position as one of the biggest phonies of our times while at a recent Venice Film Festival outing.

He debuted his latest sham documentary called “Capitalism: A Love Story.”

Thanks to the free enterprise system, Moore has become super wealthy himself, which makes the two-hour flick a case study in hypocrisy.

“Capitalism is an evil,” Moore proclaims, “and you cannot regulate evil.”

According to Moore, regulating capitalism doesn't work, so his prescription is, “You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.”

Guess it all depends on what the meaning of “democracy” is.

Fidel, Hugo, Van, Nancy and Harry might have a similar definition. Someday someone might ask the president what his is.

In any event, the flimflam filmmaker even stoops so low as to bring in some Liberation Theology clergy to endorse the idea that capitalism is actually anti-Christian.

Of course, reporters in attendance went gaga over the movie, applauding wildly at the press screening.

Hypocrisy is something Michael Moore wears comfortably like a triple extra-large shirt.

The title should be "Capitalist movie producer Michael Moore calls capitalism 'evil.'

What a joke. Fahrenheit 911 made close to $100 million. What did he do with all of that revenue? That’s about as hilarious as idiotic bands like Rage Against the Machine making millions off of their CD sales and wearing trendy “Che” t-shirts.

I've spent an additional 13 years of my life, AFTER college, training to do what I do. What I make is pocket change compared to the crowd Michael Moore hangs with. Yet he would have no problem pointing a finger at whatever success I may have as an ‘evil’ of capitalism. What a hypocritical phony. I'm not complaining about what I make, and I'm very blessed to do what I do, but I do take great umbrage with a jerk like Moore deprecating an economic system that has done more to help people than any other in history. Why doesn't he move to Cuba? Why doesn’t he move to China? Why doesn't he just move?

You know what’s sad? The people who watch his “films” will not know that. They’ll walk out of that movie believing that it is necessary to replace capitalism with democracy. And what’s scary is that they’ll try to implement it!

When he gives away all his material wealth to the poor and moves to Cuba then he will live what he believes. Otherwise he’s just a big fat liberal liar or retarded——probably both! Only in America could he make his dreck documentaries and be so ‘successful’ as his other American hating liberals moan about this nation and all it’s evils while they thrive in it! Sickening madness of liberals!

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the irony of this is in a coma. Here's a guy who became a millionaire preaching about the evils of capitalism. It's like Al Gore living in a mansion that uses more energy than a small town telling farmers they need to cut down on their power consumption.

Michael Moore has made money on his films and on capitalism. What a hypocrite. He’s a typical liberal. Nuff said about his bozo.

Michael Moore: “Capitalism Made Me Rich, Now I’m Just Making Money Off You Liberal Losers”

It's always been about money. How many people in this country would happily criticize the foundation of this country to become super rich?

I would be tempted myself.

Capitalism to Michael Moore: You're evil.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Insanity is trying to do failed things over and over again until gotten until perception of getting failed things right. Socialism is a FAILED SYSTEM.
