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.

“Michael Moore Calls Capitalism Evil”
WOW, just like being in elementary school again...he’s such a doofus.
Hey Michael Moore....sticks and stone may break my bones BUT words will never hurt me. ROTFLMAO.
And.... I’ll call him a $hit eating, overweight moron. There, we’re even...LOL
One meets some of the craziest people in Hollywood. From multi-millionaire actors who believe they are oppressed “little guys” to producers who talk like hippies and act like mafia dons to movie makers like Moore who rake in the millions while lambasting the society that made it possible. All the while being applauded by crowds of actors who also talk like commies while raking in capitalists profits. It’s a pretty amazing freak show.
Like Laura said, they should shut up and sing. Frighteningly, most actors consider Adam Barwin to be an intellectual and, sadly, by Hollywood standards he IS an intellectual.
BBWWWHHAHAHAHA!!! You owe me a monitor!!
Democracy is the majority/mob taking a vote and saying "we agree that you should give us your stuff".
Funny how the very act of capitalism puts food into that fat slob’s mouth, clothes (such as they are) on his back, and a roof over his head.
Besides being a chronic professional whiner, what has Michael Moore done in his life to improve his community???
Hes just mad because Slim Fast isnt workin for him.”
He cannot drink 2 cases of the stuff a day and expect to lose weight.
The Senate still has not passed anything to stop naked shorting.’
There isn’t a single word in any “health care insurance bill” I have seen that addresses any tort reform, either.
Keep income to the hospitals and drug companies at an artificial low, and keep the lawyers suing them for outrageous sums, and there will no no kind of health care at all—no matter who thinks they might administer it.
Tell a doctor that he will make the same money as a janitor or a road construction sinage person, and that doctor will just plain quit.
I won’t work for nothing in my chosen field, and I don’t expect anything different of others.
NObama and his Marxist, socialist, Communist buddies have NEVER had a real job- never run a business- never had to follow fed and state regulations- never had to deal with real competition and they are trying to set the rules.
NObama didn’t have any ‘competition’ in his politician life before Nov 2008, because he got all his opponents removed from the ballots.
There is no better defense of the inherent morality and virtue of capitalism and the greed and selfishness that underlie socialism than George Gilder’s “Wealth and Poverty”
here is an excerpt-
“CAPITALISM begins with giving. Not from greed, avarice, or even self-love can one expect the rewards of commerce, but from a spirit closely akin to altruism, a regard for the needs of others, a benevolent, outgoing, and courageous temper of mind. Such a universal trait as self-interest—altogether as prevalent in any socialist backwater or deadening bureaucracy as in the realms of great enterprise—will reveal virtually nothing of the rare sources of riches in human society. Not taking and consuming, but giving, risking, and creating are the characteristic roles of the capitalist, the key producer of the wealth of nations, from the least developed to the most advanced.”
I was going to say that. He's so ignorant to equate Capitalism and Democracy. as you say, "apples & Oranges."
Michael, your education will be functionally deficient until you get to know the Bible. Evil lurks not in Capitalism or Communism, but in the human heart.
” The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. “ - Jeremiah 7:9
Stop making movies and catch up with this important data.
If you haven’t seen “An American Carol” you really need to. It’s hilarious. It’s a spoof on Michael Moore and features just about every conservative in Hollywood.
Did you borrow my garden torch? I haven’t seen it in a few weeks.
